We use nonpersonal information collected through technology for number of purposes, including tracking and enhancing your experience on our website.

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to refuse.
Except as described below, we will not sell, rent, license or transfer your personal information to any third party. We may provide your personal information to third parties who assist us in providing services to you, including fulfilling orders placed through the website- for example, shippers, warehouse operators, customer service providers, credit card issuers, or others involved in fulfilling orders you place on the site, or in responding to inquiries you make through the site.
We may also use your personal information to send you promotional materials about goods and services we offer. If you have made a purchase from our store we may occasionally update you on our latest products, news and special offers via e-mail, post and by telephone.

These materials and information may be sent to you by postal mail, e-mail or other means. As described below, you may opt out of receiving these communications.
We may also take personal information and make it non-personally identifiable. We may, for instance, remove information from your personal information that does not identify you - for example, your age or gender - or we may combine elements of your personal information that do not identify you with nonpersonal information of other users of our site. Our use of this depersonalized or aggregated information is not restricted.
If we are under a duty to do so, we may disclose or share your personal information to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of business, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Bigtionary, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
In the event that Bigtionary sells or buys any business or assets, or if Bigtionary is merged or otherwise combined or consolidated with another business, its equity is sold, or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data which we hold about our customers may be transferred to the acquiring party.
The information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at a destination outside the region in which you live. Personal information may also be processed by staff, operating outside the area in which you are located, who work for Bigtionary or one of our suppliers. Such processing may, for example, be required in order to fulfil your order, process your payment details, or provide support services.
Our website may contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and other third parties. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that they may have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check their policies before you submit any personal data to these websites. In particular, remember that certain these parties may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, it will your credit card/ debit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction, after which the data is deleted. All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
Members of Bigtionary have the option to opt out of receiving marketing communications from us and/ or selected third parties.
If you wish to verify the details you have submitted to us you may do so by contacting us support@bigtionary.com Our security procedures mean that we may request proof of identity before we reveal information. This proof of identity will take the form of your e-mail address and password submitted upon registration. You must therefore keep this information safe as you will be responsible for any action which we take in response to a request from someone using your e-mail and password. We would strongly recommend that you do not use the browser´s password memory function as that would permit other people using your terminal to access your personal information. Once we have verified your identity, you will be able to access and update the contact information you gave us during registration, or modify any marketing or other choices you have made when registering with our site, or opting out of participation in the site services.

The security and confidentiality of your information is important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access and improper use. From time to time, we review our security procedures. Despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.
We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website.
