49st Technologies Corp. ("49st"), the owner and creator of 49st.com (the "Site"), understands the sensitivity with which your personal information should be handled. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy in order to earn and maintain your trust. We believe it is a commitment crucial to our continued success as a company. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information we gather when you use the Site, as well as some of the steps we take to safeguard it.

The following principles apply to the personally identifying information we collect from you on the Site. "Personally Identifying Information" is information that individually identifies you, such as your name, physical address or email address. By using this Site you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy and consenting to the collection, use and/or disclosure of your Personal Identifying Information for the purposes outlined herein. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy you should discontinue your use of this Site and/or not provide us with any Personal Identifying Information.

Information Collection

49st does not collect any Personally Identifying Information about you from the Site unless you choose to provide it to us. This means you can visit the Site without telling us who you are or revealing any Personally Identifying Information about yourself. As you browse the Site, our Web servers do collect information about your visit, but not about you personally. None of the information about how you navigate the Site is combined with your personal identifiers.

Performing a Site search does not require any Personally Identifying Information.

Some of our services require you to register for an account. 49st asks you for some personal information in order to create an account (typically your name, email address, zip/postal code, and a password for your account) and we will use that information to provide the service.

When we require Personally Identifying Information, we will inform you about the types of information we collect and how we use it. We hope this will help you make an informed decision about sharing your personal information with us.

In addition to Personally Identifying Information you provide at registration or by using the service, we may collect the following information:

Content: When you create an event, venue, band, post comments, tags or photos, that content becomes public. The public will see any information that you include in your content and as such, 49st has no control over how this information will be used. For that reason, please think carefully about what Personally Identifying Information you disclose in your content. 49st is not responsible for any Personally Identifying Information disclosed by you in such content.

System Information: 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.

Cookies

A "cookie" is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies do not damage your system or impair its functioning in any way. We use cookies to tailor your experience at the Site, to show you content that you might be interested in, and to display the content according to your preferences. Cookies do not contain any Personally Identifying Information. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your browser. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to allow your browser to show you when a cookie is sent. However, if you choose not to accept cookies some parts of the Site may not function properly.

Information Security

We maintain security measures in place in order to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the personal information under our control. We take reasonable precautions to attempt to ensure that data stored in our system is secure. Please be advised, however, that the Internet and other various networking communication media are not entirely secure, unless explicitly specified as such, and your Personally Identifying Information may therefore be subject to interception or loss which is beyond our control. The information and data exchanged or transmitted via the Site is not encrypted and therefore the security, integrity and privacy of any and all such data and information cannot be guaranteed.

Links

This web site contains links to other websites. Please be aware that 49st is not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our Site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifying information.

Removal of or Changes to Information

49st allows you to change, correct or remove your Personal Identifying Information at any time. If, at any time, you wish to have your Personal Identifying Information removed from our database, if you wish to opt out of receiving any particular communication and/or if you wish to change and/or correct any information which you have previously provided to us, you have two options: 1. You may make the necessary notation, removal, change and/or correction yourself by accessing My Profile after signing in, or 2. You may contact us and we will make the necessary notation, removal, change and/or correction.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We will periodically review the appropriateness of this Privacy Policy and may make, in our discretion, such changes as are necessary. If we decide to change this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone.
