Website Visitors

Like most website operators, tokyohive.com 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. tokyohive’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how tokyohive’s visitors use its website. From time to time, tokyohive may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

tokyohive also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. tokyohive 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 6Theory Media websites choose to interact with tokyohive in ways that require tokyohive to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that tokyohive gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at tokyohive.com to provide a username, email address and profile information. In each case, tokyohive collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with tokyohive. tokyohive 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.
