Lytro.com contains both Lytro content and user content. The content on Lytro.com and any authorized copies are licensed, not sold. Such content is protected by copyright laws and, if applicable, by international treaties.
Lytro content is the content posted by us on Lytro.com; it does not include content submitted by any other Lytro.com user. It may include, for example, living pictures, photos, videos, text, graphics, and other materials we post from time to time. We reserve the right to update or remove any Lytro content published on Lytro.com. We are under no obligation to keep the Lytro content up to date. Subject to your compliance with these Terms of Use, we authorize you to:
The Lytro content and any authorized copies are the intellectual property of Lytro and its licensors. The Lytro content and all of its copies are licensed, not sold. The Lytro content is protected by applicable law, including United States and foreign copyright laws and international treaties.
User content is the content posted on Lytro.com by our users and visitors. It includes users’ living pictures, users’ and visitors’ comments to living pictures and to other content on Lytro.com, and any other materials posted by users or visitors on Lytro.com. Users may upload living pictures on Lytro.com as “public” or “unlisted.” Public pictures can be viewed and shared by all Lytro.com visitors and users and are searchable on Lytro.com and by third-party search engines such as Google. Unlisted pictures can be viewed and shared by the user who uploaded them and by others who know the link to the pictures. The recipients of a link from the user can further forward it or publicly post it. Anyone who knows the link is able to access the unlisted pictures on Lytro.com and can further “like” or share them on third-party sites such as Facebook. Unlisted pictures exposed in this way may show up in search indices and become easily discoverable by people who do not have the link to them. As such, the privacy of unlisted pictures is not in our control, and users should take reasonable precautions with posting and sharing their pictures.
We expect our users and visitors to act responsibly, respectfully, and lawfully on Lytro.com.

We reserve the right to review any user content and determine, in our discretion, whether it violates these Terms of Use. However, we assume no obligation to do so and have no responsibility for user content on Lytro.com.
We do not claim ownership of your living pictures; they are yours.
