Hey there! We know privacy is important to you, and it's important to us too. That's why we want to be completely transparent about how we handle your personal information on our website, The Gig Community.

 

Let's start with who's in charge?  Well The Gig Community is an entity of  Taxes Are Sexy, LLC, a California corporation, which sounds like something, but it's just the two of us, Josh and Dean as the owners.  However, we're the data controller for any personal data you share with us through our website. If you need to get in touch, here's how: new business address

 

Your Rights Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have some pretty cool rights when it comes to your personal data. Just to make sure you're in the loop, here's a rundown:

  • Access: You can ask us for a copy of the personal data we have on you.

  • Correction: If anything's not quite right, let us know and we'll fix it.

  • Deletion: If you want us to delete your personal data, just say the word.

  • Restrictions: If you want us to slow down on processing your personal data, we're happy to oblige.

  • Portability: If you want to take your personal data to another party, we'll give it to you in a format that's easy to transfer.

  • Complaints: If you think we haven't handled your personal data properly, you can file a complaint with the authorities.

We keep logs of what happens on our website, but don't worry - we make sure to keep your personal data, like your IP address, separate and the anonymous reviews really are anonymous. Even to us.

​

Using our app, you're agreeing to let us handle your information as outlined in this policy. Keep in mind, our apps may have links to other websites and their privacy policies apply to those sites, not ours.

 

The Gig Community app gives you options to screen and log anonymous reviews for yourself and other app and Community members to view and add additional information about these numbers/usernames and or email addresses. You have to opt-in to use the app and can disable it at any time.  For the complete list of codes of conduct in the user generated reviews, click here.

Also,

  • You have the right to request that we correct any personal data that is incorrect or out of date.

  • The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we delete your personal data.

  • The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.

  • The right to data portability: You have the right to receive the personal data we hold about you in a format that can be easily transferred to another processor.

  • The right to lodge a complaint: If you believe that we have not handled your personal data in accordance with the GDPR, you have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority.

 

Our website logs may contain information such as your IP address, however, we take steps to ensure that no personal data is stored in these logs.

We're collecting your personal information for a few different reasons, but don't worry - we've got it under control. And we’re definitely not collecting it with the anonymous reviews. So, here's the deal:

  • Contracts: If we're working with you, we need your personal information to make sure everything runs smoothly.

  • Before Contracts: If you're thinking about working with us, we might need your personal info to get things started.

  • Consent: If you say it's okay, we'll use your personal information in the ways we explain.

  • Legitimate Interests: We've got some pretty good reasons for using your personal information, like making sure we're doing things right and staying safe.

  • Legal Stuff: If the law says we have to, we'll use your personal information.

  • Safety First: If there's an emergency, we might need your personal information to keep you (or others) safe.

  • Accounts: We use your personal information to keep track of what we're doing together.

  • Customer Service: If you need help, we'll use your personal information to make sure we give you the best service possible.

  • Our Apps: We use your personal information to make sure our apps are working well.

  • Orders: If you're ordering something from us, we'll use your personal information to get it to you.

  • Products and Services: We might use your personal information to keep you in the loop about what we're up to.

  • Community Features: If you're using any social or community features on our site, we'll need your personal information to make it work.

  • Research: We might use your personal information to figure out what we're doing well (and what we could do better).

  • Auditing: We keep an eye on what's going on to make sure everything's working right.

  • Security: We use your personal information to keep our site (and you) safe.

  • Debugging: If something goes wrong, we'll use your personal information to figure out how to fix it.

  • Marketing: We might use your personal information to let you know about stuff you might be interested in.

  • Quality and Safety: We want to make sure everything's working right, so we might use your personal information to keep things running smoothly.

  • Verification: We want to make sure we're working with the right people, so we might use your personal information to confirm who you are.

  • Protecting our Rights: We'll use your personal information to make sure we're protected.

 

And here's a heads up: we might store your personal information outside of your home country. But don't worry, we'll get rid of it when we don't need it anymore (unless we have to keep it for legal reasons).
