The Open Mic’s Privacy Policy

It is The Open Mic’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, The Open Mic collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The Open Mic’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how The Open Mic’s visitors use its website. From time to time, The Open Mic may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

The Open Mic also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The Open Mic does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to The Open Mic’s website choose to interact with The Open Mic in ways that require The Open Mic to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that The Open Mic gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at TheOpenMic.co to provide a username, first and last name and email address. The Open Mic collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with The Open Mic. The Open Mic does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

The Open Mic may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. The Open Mic may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, The Open Mic does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

The Open Mic discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on The Open Mic’s behalf or to provide services available at The Open Mic’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using The Open Mic’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. The Open Mic will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, The Open Mic discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when The Open Mic believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of The Open Mic, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an The Open Mic website and have supplied your email address, The Open Mic may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with The Open Mic and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. The Open Mic takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. The Open Mic uses cookies to help The Open Mic identify and track visitors, their usage of The Open Mic website, and their website access preferences. The Open Mic visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using The Open Mic’s website, with the drawback that certain features of The Open Mic’s website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, The Open Mic may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in The Open Mic’s sole discretion. The Open Mic encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.

Thank You For Reading This

Phew!

You’ve made it to the end!

Congratulations!

You know, a lot of people hate this legal stuff, but we’re afraid something as massive as The Open Mic simply cannot exist without it.

So kudos to you for sitting through those long, boring passages.

This calls for a celebration!

How about some non-alcoholic mojito? 😉

Cheers from Toronto!
