Privacy policy

Last updated 14 Jun 2023

Gigbee ("we") are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy and keeping your personal information secure.

This policy describes how we use the personal information that we collect from you in connection with your receipt of our products and services (the “Services”), when you interact with our websites and apps (together, the “Websites”) and when you participate in our referral partner program.

Important: This policy applies to you if you contract with us to receive the Services or otherwise interact with us regarding your use, or potential use, of the Services. It also applies if you interact with us, including by using our Websites or interacting with us via social media.

The policy does not apply to you if you are a Consumer who has sourced a ticket or product or service from an event organizer which uses the Gigbee platform. In such circumstances, we process Consumers’ personal information solely on the event organizer’s behalf (as their “processor”) and the event organizer has the legal responsibility to tell Consumers how their personal information will be collected and used. Our privacy practices in respect of such personal information are governed by the contract we have in place with the event organizer.

Please take a moment to review this policy in detail (together with our Website Terms of Use and our Terms of Service.
