We recognize every individual's right to privacy and acknowledge our obligation to preserve the confidentiality of personal information. This Privacy Policy applies to 6IXBUZZ and our collection, use, storage and disclosure of personal information through our websites, mobile applications, events and other activities (collectively, the 'Services'). 6IXBUZZ reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time and such modifications shall be effective immediately. This Privacy Policy also explains how you can ask questions and make suggestions about our privacy practices and review and update your personal information.

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT
To provide the Services, we collect two types of information about our users: personal information (information that can personally identify you such as your name, address, email address, birth date, location, gender, etc.) and non-personal information (information of an anonymous nature that cannot be used to identify or re-identify individuals). We limit our collection to what is needed for the purposes in this policy, or as otherwise stated or implied at the time of collection.

The information we collect falls into three categories: (1) information we collect from you; (2) information we collect when you use our Services; and (3) information we collect from other sources.

When you access our Services as a visitor, registered user or subscriber, we collect and use the personal information, non-personal information and other content, communications and other information you provide when using the Services. Your information is collected when you:

In this process, we may collect and use your personal information relating to your use of 6IXBUZZ Services, technical details about your browser and mobile device use and location (e.g., whether you are using a tablet or smartphone to visit our websites), your IP address, the metadata on content you provide, which can indicate things like where a photo was taken, or the date a file was created, and your viewing and usage trends in order to analyze and offer you customized advertising, products and services.

    Some of the personal information we may collect, such as payment information, we consider to be sensitive information.

    Our web servers may also automatically collect non-personal information which is provided through your browser or stored on a cookie or other similar technologies when you access the Services. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our websites may become inaccessible or fail to function properly.

    INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM OTHER SOURCES
    We also collect information that is publicly available, to the extent permitted by applicable law. For example, we may collect information you submit to a blog, a chat room, or a social network like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Google+.

    HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT?

    WHO SEES YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
    Access to personal information within 6IXBUZZ will be restricted to those individuals who need the information in order to carry out their job duties. Those individuals are trained and instructed to maintain the information in the strictest of confidence and will not provide access to the information to anyone who is not authorized.

    All individuals we hire to conduct business on our behalf will be required to respect the provisions of this policy and our procedures. Violations of any part of the contractual agreement may result in termination of the contract.

    INFORMATION WE COLLECT OR DISCLOSE TO THIRD PARTIES
    We work with business partners to provide the Services. For example, we have partners that:

  • Provide payment software; and
  • Give you the option to log in to our Services using credentials from your existing social accounts like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Google+.


  • Our partners receive your data if you use their services through our Services, and it becomes subject to their privacy policies.

    When you interact with them through our Services, our partners may provide information to us such as:

  • About your device
  • How you use their services
  • If you use social login, your account log in credentials, name, profile picture, and, if you give us permission, your likes, check-ins and friends list


  • We require our partners to have the right to collect, use and share your data before providing any data to us.

    We don't sell your personal data to advertisers, and we don't share information that directly identifies you (such as your name, email address or other contact information) with advertisers unless you give us specific permission. Instead, advertisers can tell us things like the kind of audience they want to see their ads, and we show those ads to people who may be interested. We may provide advertisers with reports about the performance of their ads that help them understand how people are interacting with their content.

    Other users provide information when they use our websites. This can sometimes include information about you, such as when others share or comment on a photo of you, send a message to you, or upload, sync or import your contact information.

    MORE ABOUT CONSENT / MANAGING YOUR PREFERENCES
    By using the Services or submitting information to us in connection with using the Services or our websites, you are providing your consent to the collection, use, storage, disclosure and retention of personal information as set out in this Privacy Policy. Consent may be withdrawn at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice; however, without such consent, we may limit the Services we are able to provide you.

    Wherever possible, we seek a person's consent before we collect their personal information. The form of consent may vary depending on the circumstances and the type of information being requested. Consent can be express or implied and can be provided directly by the individual or by an authorized representative. Implied consent may be reasonably inferred from a person's action or inaction. For example, providing a name and address to sign up for our newsletter, or a name and telephone number to receive a response to a question implies that we have your consent. When determining the appropriate form of consent, we take into account the sensitivity of the personal information, the reasons we are collecting it, and the reasonable expectations of the person. When using personal information for a new purpose, we will do our best to document that new purpose and ask for consent again.

    Our Privacy Officer will act as the main point of contact for individuals seeking information or who have concerns about our handling of their personal information. If you wish to withdraw your consent for the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information by 6IXBUZZ, please contact us any time at sarman@6ix.buzz. Your withdrawal of consent can't be retroactive, since we may already have used your information for the purposes described here, but it will be applied on a go-forward basis.

    ANTI-SPAM
    Where applicable, we will seek your express consent to contact you, including by way of commercial electronic messages. You can unsubscribe at any time from receiving commercial electronic messages by following the instructions in the electronic message you received or by emailing us at sarman@6ix.buzz.

    Even if you have opted out of receiving marketing communications from us, please be aware that we may still contact you for other purposes. For example, we may contact you regarding the products or services we provide to you, or if you contact us with an inquiry.

    HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
    We make reasonable efforts to ensure that any personal information you provide is maintained in a secure environment. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, 6IXBUZZ cannot warrant the security of any personal information you transmit to us or from our on-line services and cannot be responsible for the

    theft, destruction or inadvertent disclosure of your personal information. You do so at your own risk. Consequently, 6IXBUZZ and any directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors or agents thereof do not represent, warrant or guarantee that your personal information will be protected against misuse, loss or modification, nor do such parties accept liability for the security of a user's personal information submitted on or in connection with our websites.

    6IXBUZZ has implemented and maintains reasonable and appropriate security measures, procedures and practices to protect against the loss and unauthorized access, use, modification, destruction or disclosure of your personal information while it is in our custody or under our control.

    We also limit access to your personal information to those employees, contractors and agents who have a business need to know.

    You can help protect the security of your personal information as well. For instance, never give out your password, since this is what is used to access your account or registration information. Also remember to log out of your account and close your browser window when you finish using our websites or surfing the internet, so that other people using the same computer won't have access to your information.

When we no longer are required to retain the personal information, we will destroy, erase, or de-identify it. Legal requirements, however, may require us to retain some or all of the personal information we hold for a period of time that is longer than that for which we might otherwise hold.

    If you want to cancel or delete your account, you may do so in writing at the email or postal address provided in the 'Contact Us' section below. We will make every effort to promptly respond to your request. We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you Services, such as product returns or warranties.
