Privacy Policy
Last revised 1st November 2008
Your privacy is important to you and to us. We treat both privacy and security as a priority and make every effort to ensure that all the information you provide to us is protected. We believe in the responsible use of personal information. By registering with the Ggigzee, LLC’s (“gigzee”) website, you expressly consent to our collection, disclosure, storage and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is effective upon acceptance for new users and is otherwise effective immediately.
This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") respects and protects the privacy of all visitors and users of gigzee websites and services, including gigzee.com. Although we endeavor to keep you up-to-date on all changes made to the website, this Policy may be amended from time to time without notice to you. All amended terms take immediate effect. It is your responsibility to read the Policy carefully and review any changes that may have been made.
The following principles apply to the personally identifying information we ask for and that you provide. "Personally identifying information" is information that individually identifies you, such as your name, physical address or email address.
Data Collection
Performing a gigzee search does not require sharing any personally identifying information with gigzee.
Some of our services may require you to register for an account. gigzee asks you for some personal information in order to create an account (including your name, email address, zip code, and a password for your account) and gigzee will use that information to provide our services.
When we require personally identifying information, we will inform you about the types of information we collect and how we will use it. We hope this will help you make an informed decision about sharing your personal information with us.
You agree that we may use your personal information to:
- Provide the services and customer support you request
- Resolve disputes and troubleshoot problems
- Prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities and enforce our Terms of Service
- Customer, measure, and improve our services and the website’s content and layout
- Allow user/members to modify, save and update their account or content
- Compare information for accuracy and verify such information with 3rd parties
- For any gigzee related business or operations in which it is required.
If a user account is cancelled or terminated, their information will remain in the database and will be subject to any of the above uses.
In addition to personally identifying information you provide at registration or by using the service, we collect the following information:
Content
When you create an artist profile, event, venue, or group, post comments, rate a venue or artist, or post photos, that content becomes public. The public will see any information that you include in your content, and as such, gigzee has no control over how this information will be used. For that reason, please decide carefully about what personally identifiable information you disclose in your content.
We also collect anonymous information, such as your IP address, the type of browser you use, the pages on our site that you visit, the search terms that you enter and the advertisements that you click. This information is used to provide features and help us diagnose problems, administer the site and otherwise improve our service to you.

Information Security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data.
