The short version: Day56 collects only what's necessary to run the platform. Breeders control their customer data. We never sell your data to third parties. Waitlist customers can unsubscribe and be removed at any time.
Day56 ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at day56.com and the associated platform for ball python breeders. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your information.
This policy applies to:
When you create a Breeder account, we collect:
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Name / business name | Display on your public page and emails |
| Email address | Account login, verification, and transactional emails |
| Password (hashed) | Authentication — never stored in plain text |
| Page slug (URL) | Your unique public page address |
| Bio, location, Instagram handle | Displayed on your public breeder page (optional) |
| Logo / profile image | Displayed on your public page and emails (optional) |
| Reply-to email address | Routing customer email replies to you (optional) |
Breeders may add animal records containing name, sex, date of birth, genetic makeup (genes/morphs), weight, price, status, and notes. This data is stored on your behalf and displayed on your public page as configured. You control what is visible publicly.
When a customer joins a breeder's waitlist, we collect on the breeder's behalf:
| Data | Source |
|---|---|
| Name | Provided by customer at signup |
| Email address | Provided by customer at signup |
| Phone number | Optionally provided by customer |
| Morph / gene interest | Selected by customer on waitlist form |
| Budget range | Selected by customer on waitlist form |
| Notes | Optionally provided by customer |
| Waitlist join date | Automatically recorded |
| Unsubscribe token | Generated by Day56 for opt-out management |
This data is collected on behalf of and for the benefit of the individual breeder. The breeder is the data controller for their customer data; Day56 acts as a data processor.
We store records of emails sent through the platform, including recipient email, subject, body text, send timestamp, and delivery status. This allows breeders to view their sent email history in the dashboard.
When a customer replies to a breeder's email, the reply (sender name, email address, subject, message body, and any attached images) is stored and shown in the breeder's inbox so they can read and respond to it. Breeders may organize these messages into folders. This data is retained under the same terms as other waitlist customer data described in this policy.
We may collect standard server logs including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. This data is used for security, debugging, and improving the Service. We do not use third-party analytics or advertising trackers.
We use the data we collect to:
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties.
When a customer joins a breeder's waitlist, that customer's information (name, email, phone, morph interest, notes) is made available to that breeder through their Day56 dashboard. Customers should be aware that the breeder they sign up with will have access to the information they provide.
Day56 includes an optional referral feature. A breeder may choose to refer one of their leads or waitlist customers to another breeder on the platform — for example, when they do not produce a morph the customer is looking for. When a breeder does this, that customer's relevant information is shared with the receiving breeder so they can follow up.
This sharing only ever happens at the referring breeder's own initiative. Day56 never transfers, sells, or shares customer data between breeders automatically. If you are a waitlist customer and want to know whether your information has been referred, please contact the breeder you originally signed up with.
We use the following infrastructure providers to operate Day56:
We do not use third-party CRM, advertising, or marketing platforms.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or other governmental authority, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify affected users via email prior to data being transferred.
Day56 sends transactional emails from noreply@day56.com for account verification, password resets, and waitlist confirmations. These are required for the Service to function and cannot be unsubscribed from while your account or waitlist membership is active.
Breeders may send emails to their waitlist customers using Day56's email tools. All such emails are sent on behalf of the breeder. Every breeder email includes an Unsubscribe link. Clicking this link removes you from that breeder's waitlist and stops all future emails from them through Day56.
Reply-to addresses in breeder emails are set to the breeder's personal email address, not Day56's. When you reply to a breeder email, your reply goes directly to the breeder.
Day56 complies with the CAN-SPAM Act. All marketing-type emails sent through our platform include: accurate sender identification, a clear subject line, a physical mailing address or equivalent, and a working unsubscribe mechanism honored within 10 business days.
Day56 takes reasonable measures to protect your data, including:
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
