Privacy Notice
Gigsby.com is committed to protecting the online privacy of visitors to our website.
The privacy policy set forth below (this Policy) applies only to the website
and online services provided by Gigsby.com. The purpose of this Policy is to inform you about the types of
information we gather about you when you visit our website, how we may use that
information, and how we disclose it to third parties.
INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT
Personal Information
At various
locations on our website, such as in registration forms, surveys, and polls, we
may request that you supply us with "personal information," such as
your name, email address, mailing address, home or work telephone number.
Although you do not have to provide us with any information to visit our
website, you may not be able to fully utilize all of the services on our
website if you choose not to provide certain information. If you do choose to
give us personal information through our website, we will collect and retain
that information.
Non-Personal Information
When you
use our website, we may also collect "non-personal information." We
consider Ònon-personal informationÓ to be information that, by itself, cannot
be used to identify or contact you personally, such as demographic information
(your age, gender, income, education, profession, etc.). Non-personal
information may also include technical information, such as your IP address,
the type of browser you are using, the websites you visit immediately before
and immediately after you visit our website, and other anonymous data involving
your use of our website. Non-personal information may also include information
that you provide us through your use of our website, such as the terms you
enter into the search functions of our website. We reserve the right to use or disclose non-personal
information in any way we see fit.
Cookies
We may use
"cookies" to enhance your visits to our website. A cookie is a small
amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on
your computer's hard drive. Cookies do not store personal information about
you, unless you knowingly provide it. Cookies can store non-personal
information, such as what websites, pages, or advertisements your browser has
accessed. We may use cookies to store information and personalize your
experience with our website. For example, cookies allow our website to
recognize your browser as a previous visitor, and thus save and remember any
preferences that may have been set while you were previously browsing our
website. Our cookies can also store your password, personalize pages, and keep
track of selections, such as your time zone and episode selections.
You do
have control over cookies. Most browsers can be set to notify you when a cookie
is being placed on your computer. Most browsers can also be set to refuse to
accept cookies, although this may affect your Internet experience. You can also
erase cookies that are already on your computer. For more information about
working with cookies, you should consult your user manual, FAQ, or
"help" function of your specific browser and operating system
software.
Web Beacons
We also
may use "web beacons" (also often referenced as "clear
GIFs", "clear pixals", "web bugs", "1x1
GIFs", or "1x1 pixals") which are tiny graphic image files,
imbedded in a web page in GIF, jpeg or HTML format, that provide a presence on
the web page and send back to its home server information from your browser,
such as the IP address, the URL of the page on which the web beacon is located,
the type of browser that is accessing the site and the ID number of any cookies
on your computer previously placed by that server. We may use web beacons to collect non-personal information
about your use of our website and the websites of selected sponsors and
advertisers, and your use of special promotions or newsletters. The information
collected by web beacons allows us to statistically monitor how many people are
using our website and selected sponsors' and advertisers' sites. Our web
beacons are not used to track your activity outside of our website or those of
our sponsors'. We do not link non-personal information from web beacons to
personally identifiable information without your permission.
USE OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Our Services and Website
We use
your personal information to provide you any services that you may request or
require, to communicate with you and to allow you to participate in online
surveys. We use aggregated non-personal information about our users to
understand our website's demographics, such as the percentage of male and
female users, the geographic distribution of our users, the age ranges of our
users, a combination of these or other demographics. We may also use the
personal or non-personal information we collect to analyze how our website is
being used, and to improve the content of our website, and marketing and
promotional efforts.
Email Communications
If you send us an email with questions or comments, we may use your personal information to respond to your questions or comments, and we may save your questions or comments for future reference. It is our standard practice to send you email regarding the new features and bug fixes during the Beta phase to announce changes and invite you to test the new features. However, we will provide you with the option to change your preferences and opt-out of receiving those communications. You may request at any time that we not email you in the future by clicking the "unsubscribe" link which is included at the bottom of any email that you receive from us. If you unsubscribe, we will make reasonable efforts to discontinue these email communications as soon as practicable.
Security of the Information We
Collect
The
security of your personal information is important to us. We maintain physical,
electronic, and procedural safeguards to secure your personal information.
However, there is always some risk in transmitting information electronically.
The personal information we collect is stored within databases that we control.
As we deem appropriate, we use security measures consistent with industry
standards, such as firewalls and encryption technology, to protect your
information. However, we cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor
can we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted while being
transmitted to us over the Internet.

to ensure that all of your personal information stored in databases we actively
use to operate our website will be updated, corrected, changed or deleted, as
appropriate, as soon as reasonably practicable. However, we reserve the right
to retain in our archival files any information we remove from or change in our
active website databases. We may retain such information to resolve disputes,
troubleshoot problems and enforce our terms and conditions of use. In addition,
it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information
you have provided to us. A copy of your personal information may exist in a
non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO THIRD
PARTIES
Aggregate Information

services. For example, we may use third parties to provide advertising,
marketing and promotional assistance, provide email services, or facilitate our
online services. In those instances, we may need to share your personal
information with them. We require these companies to use your personal
information only to provide the particular product or service and do not
authorize them to use your personal information for any other reason.
We
sometimes offer promotions in conjunction with a third party sponsor. If you
choose to participate in one of those promotions, we may share your information
with the sponsor if they need it to send you a product or other special
promotion they offer.
Business Transactions Involving Gigsby.com
As Gigsby.com continues
to develop, we may buy, sell or combine with other businesses. If so, personal
and non-personal information that we or other businesses have collected will
likely be transferred as part of the transaction. If we sell our business, we
will attempt to ensure that requests made of us regarding email communications
will be honored.

third-party advertising companies to deliver specific advertisements to you,
which appear on pages throughout our website. These companies collect
non-personal information about your visits to our website and other websites in

information, you may visit each third party advertiser's website directly and
opt-out.
