Cookies
BIG uses third party cookies to conduct web site analytics to improve the effectiveness and performance of our website, using pseudonymous or anonymous IDs for our visitors. We use this to identify where visitors come from, how long they spend on the site, what parts of the site are more popular, and similar measures.
If you click on a link to another website, we are not responsible for that site’s personal information practices.
Does BIG sell or share my personal information?
In some jurisdictions, the use of a third party cookie constitutes a “sale” of personal information. BIG does not engage in any sales of personal information beyond this third party cookie use.
BIG uses some tools, service providers, apps, and services to help us manage our business: things like managing customer interactions, communicating with you, and the other activities described above. If these tools are provided by third parties, we make sure the third parties are not allowed to access your personal information, copy it, or use it for any purpose other than to deliver the service to us.
A list of third-party service providers is available upon request.
How does BIG protect my personal information?
We only collect the information we need to do the activities described above, and we only keep it as long as necessary. To protect the personal information we have, we use physical, organizational, and technological measures. For example: we only work with trusted technologies and service providers and use contractual measures to safeguard your data.
