BigTrumpet is a portal of information, government and commercial services. We
connect customers, government agencies and businesses with our time-saving
web-based services.
BigTrumpet takes your privacy seriously. Because we gather various types of
personal information about our users, we want you to understand our terms and
conditions surrounding the collection and use of that information.
-
Information you give us
We receive and store any information you enter on our web site when you
register with us or give us in any other way, such as your e-mail address,
name, home or work address or telephone number. Several of the services that we
offer on our sites, such as online shopping, may require registration as a
condition of use.
We also collect anonymous demographic information that is not unique to you,
such as your age, gender and personal interests. This allows us to provide
services and features that most likely meet your needs and to customize our
service to make your experience easier.
BigTrumpet may also receive information about you from other sources and add it
to the information you have provided to us.
-
Automatic Information
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with
us, for example, your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and
referring Web site addresses.
We use "cookies", which store small amounts of data on your computer about your
visit to any of our sites to allow us to track general traffic patterns, user
profiles and preferences, number and frequency of users when your Web browser
accesses BigTrumpet.com. However, cookies tell us nothing about who you are
unless you specifically give us personally identifiable information. You do not
need to have cookies turned on to visit most of our sites, although
participation in certain areas of our sites may requires cookies. In addition,
you may choose not to allow cookies to be collected by selecting the
appropriate options on your browser.
We use tracking technologies in different ways, including:
-
Keeping count of return visits to our sites or our advertisers' or strategic
partners' sites;
-
Accumulating and reporting anonymous, aggregate, statistical information on web
site and advertisement usage;
-
Determining which features users like best; and
-
Saving your password so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit our
sites.
This information is used for the operation of our service, to maintain the
quality of our service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of
BigTrumpet.
Please bear in mind that if you directly disclose personal information through
BigTrumpet Communities or other public online forums, this information may be
collected and used by others.

Third Party Advertisement Servers
Some of our advertisers use third-party companies to serve their advertisements
on our sites and in some cases, in our HTML-formatted newsletters. Often, these
third-party advertising companies employ cookie and web bug technologies to
measure advertisement effectiveness. We do not give any personally identifiable
information to them as part of this relationship. Use of their tracking
technology is subject to their own privacy policies.
BigTrumpet uses the information we gather for the following purposes:
-
To customize our site's advertising, content, layout and services
-
To resolve disputes and trouble shoot problems
-
To improve our marketing and promotional efforts and product offerings
-
To enhance customers' experience in our network of sites
-
To fulfil your requests for certain products and services, such as sending out
e-mails, processing your online shopping or service requests and enabling
customers to participate in surveys, contests and forums
-
To send you information on topics targeted to your interest, such as targeted
banner advertisements, administrative notices, product offerings and
communications relevant to your use of the site
BigTrumpet may disclose your personal information under certain
circumstances where:
-
we have your consent to share the information
-
we have engaged external companies to work with or on behalf of BigTrumpet to
provide a product or service that your have requested
-
we use internal service providers to facilitate our services (e.g. surveys,

back to that external service partner

or organized by third parties, or purchase goods and services offered by third
parties
-
we buy or sell a business, and customer information is one of the transferred
assets
-
we share our data with our subsidiaries, joint ventures and strategic partners
that are committed to serving your online trading needs and related services
-
we respond to court orders or legal processes, or we believe that your actions
violate applicable laws, our Terms of Use or any usage guidelines for specific
products or services, or threaten the rights or property of BigTrumpet, our
users or others
-
Aggregate Information
BigTrumpet may aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose such
information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other
third parties for marketing, promotional and other purposes. However we do not
disclose to these entities any information that could be used to identify you
personally.
-
Business Transfers
We are always looking to improve our network of web sites and our business. In
accomplishing these objectives, we may decide to buy or sell a company. One or
more of the companies in our corporate family may merge with or be acquired by
another company.
If we decide to sell a business, we may transfer some or all of your
information as a part of the sale to the buyer in order that the service being
provided to you may continue or for other business purposes.
BigTrumpet strictly protects the security of your personal identifiable
information. We secure your personal information in a controlled, secure
environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, using
industry standard security techniques. We also limit access of personal
information about you to certain employees who we believe reasonably need the
information to provide services to you.
When highly confidential information (such as a credit card number) is
transmitted over the Internet, it is protected through the use of encryption,
such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
While BigTrumpet takes all reasonable steps to safeguard the confidentiality of
your personal identifiable information, "perfect security" however does not
exist on the Internet. It is therefore also important for you to protect
yourself against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer by
logging out the web site when you are finished.
Users who would rather not provide any of the user data requested by our
registration process do not need to register with us. You can still browse and
view much of our content and use many of the services offered by our sites
without registering.
We also give users the following options:
-
opting not to receive e-mails or newletters from us or third parties. Users who
opt-in may remove themselves from the mailing lists at any time if they so
wish;
-
opting not to provide certain personal information when registering for a site;
-
Adding or updating certain personal information collected during registration
for any site at any time and as often as necessary;
-
Opting to disable "cookies" or prevent your browser from accepting new cookies,
by clicking on the "help" portion of your toolbar.
BigTrumpet will occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect
company and customer feedback. All modifications to our privacy practices will
be reflected by the posting of the amended terms on our web site.
In addition, if there is a material change in our privacy practices, we will
indicate on our sites that our privacy practices have changed and provide a
link to the new privacy policy.
If we are going to use the information in a manner materially different from
that stated at the time of collection we will also notify you of the amendments
by administrative notices, announcements or e-mails.
BigTrumpet is a member of the TRUSTe Privacy Program. TRUSTe is an
independent, non- profit organization whose mission is to build trust and
confidence in the Internet by promoting the use of fair information practices.
Because this Web site wants to demonstrate its commitment to your privacy, it
has agreed to disclose its information practices and have its privacy practices
reviewed for compliance by TRUSTe.
