YOUR RIGHTS

  Your principal rights under data protection law are:

1. The right to access - You have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process your data and, where we do, access to the personal data, together with certain additional information. That additional information includes details of the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned, and the recipients of the personal data. Providing the rights and freedoms of others are not affected, we will supply you a copy of your data. The first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may be subject to a reasonable fee.

2. The right to rectification - You have the right to have any inaccurate personal data about you rectified and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete personal data about you completed.

Those circumstances include: you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; you object to the processing under certain rules of applicable data protection law; the personal data have been unlawfully processed.

Those circumstances are: you contest the accuracy of the personal data; processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure; we no longer need the personal data for our processing, but you require personal data for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; and you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection.

 SECURITY

                    We take a number of steps to protect your data, but no security is guaranteed.

                   Gigs takes commercially reasonable steps to help protect and secure the information it collects and stores about Gigs Users. All-access to the Site is encrypted using industry-standard transport layer security technology (“TLS”). When you enter sensitive information (such as tax identification number), we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (“SSL”). We also use HTTP strict transport security to add an additional layer of protection for our Gigs Users. But remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Thus, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, Gigs cannot ensure and does not warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.
