Privacy Policy
Introduction
Welcome to GigUp, a pioneering platform that bridges the gap between Advertisers and Drivers for innovative vehicle wrap advertising campaigns. We understand the importance of privacy, and through this policy, we aim to outline how we manage, protect, and respect your personal information.
At the heart of GigUp lies the symbiotic relationship between Advertisers and Drivers. Advertisers, on the lookout for unique avenues to amplify their brand visibility, find in GigUp a distinctive form of Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising. This approach not only garners widespread attention but also ensures that advertising campaigns reach diverse audiences, be it across sprawling cities or targeted locales. We've integrated features like campaign listings and an intuitive mobile experience to optimize advertiser engagement and bolster return on investment.
On the flip side, Drivers find in GigUp a hassle-free avenue to supplement their income. Without deviating from their regular driving routines, they can monetize their vehicles by simply showcasing the advertisement magnetic vinyls. In our commitment to enhancing the driver experience, we've incorporated features such as real-time campaign notifications via email, bespoke campaign recommendations tailored to specific vehicle details, and an upgraded mobile interface for seamless navigation.
As we continue to evolve and refine our platform based on our discussions and your feedback, we remain steadfast in our commitment to safeguarding your personal information. This Privacy Policy is designed to elucidate how we collect, use, and protect your data. Whether you're an Advertiser aiming to augment your brand's reach or a Driver seeking to earn that extra buck, we advise you to peruse this policy to gain a clear understanding of our privacy practices.
