Privacy
When you visit our website, BigTreeUSA.com or BigTree-USA.com, mobile applications, or social media sites, operated by Big Tree USA, LLC., we may collect information about your visit. We understand how important it is to keep your personal information confidential. We value the information you provide to us and want you to be confident that we are committed to protecting your privacy. Our commitment to protecting your privacy is outlined in the policies below.
This policy addresses the nature, purpose, use, and sharing of any information collected via the BigTreeUSA sites. The information you provide on our Sites will be used only for its intended purpose and as outlined in this Privacy Policy. Except as outlined herein, the submission and collection of personally identifiable information (defined below) is strictly voluntary. By using or visiting any BigTreeUSA Site, you acknowledge your agreement on the Terms of Use related to that site or application. If you do not want to give us your permission to use your information, please do not provide it. However, not providing certain information may result in our inability to provide you with the information or services you desire.
What we Collect
The two types of information we collect are personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information.
Non-personally identifiable information is anonymous information that cannot be used to identify you. Online, we use this information to track navigation through our websites, which pages are viewed most often, what other websites are visited, and similar data.
Personally identifiable information is sensitive information that can be used to identify you. Personally identifiable information includes, among other information, your full name, e-mail address, physical mailing address, and telephone number. Some of the features on our online Sites require that you provide us information about yourself. Online, this information is collected only when you provide it to us by registering as a member for an account or by filling out a form on our online Sites. You can review and update any personally identifiable information you have elected to provide to us prior to submitting the information. When you provide us your personally identifiable information, you consent to the information practices described in this policy.
We will NEVER request your password, user name, or other personally identifiable information through e-mail. This practice, called "phishing," is oftentimes a scam designed to steal your personal information. If you receive an e-mail message that looks like it is from us asking you for your personal information, please do not respond.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information You Choose to Provide
If you choose to provide us with personally identifiable information, we will use that information to enhance your experience in the following ways:
Complete your request to register as a member of any of our online Sites you select.
Receive candidate information you provide in the career section at any of our online Sites.
Complete your request to sign up to receive information via e-mail at any of our online Sites you select.
Customize your shopping experience.
Notify you of advertisements and promotions related to the BigTreeUSA Brands or any of our online Sites.
Communicate great values and featured items to you.
Comply with valid legal procedures, requirements, regulations, and statutes.
Share your personally identifiable information with third party vendors but only to the extent required to help us perform any of the aforementioned functions.
Automatically Collected Information
We save information based on your interaction with our online Sites. This allows us to process your inquiries more efficiently, and ultimately, provide you with enhanced customer service. This information includes, but is not limited to, your Internet Protocol address (the address automatically assigned to your computer every time you establish a connection to the Internet), the name of any referring websites, as well as your navigation and activity on our websites. By tracking this type of information, we may be able to modify our content and product displays to enhance your experience while visiting our online Sites.
This information is only used to help us make our Sites more useful to you. Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, no attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits. Raw data logs are retained temporarily as required for security and site management purposes only.
Information Collected for Tracking Purposes (Cookies)
Like many online websites, our Sites do not currently respond to “do not track signals” or other mechanisms that consumers may utilize on their web browsing device to limit the collection of certain information about a consumer’s activities over time and across various websites or online services. As with most websites, we use "cookies" to obtain information when your web browser accesses our online Site. "Cookies" are small amounts of data that are stored on your computer and find their way to your browser via a web server. They flag information about your activity on our online Sites. This information helps us to improve our Sites and to make them friendlier and easier to use. We are then able to "recognize" you and personalize your experience with our Sites. You may "turn off" cookies by following steps outlined in the "Help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers; however, cookies allow you to take advantage of some of our Sites’ best features, so we recommend that you leave them turned on.
We may use third party service providers to serve advertisements on our behalf. This form of marketing is called "re-targeting;" and it enhances the web surfing experience. These companies may use technologies to measure the effectiveness of advertisements and use information about your visits to our online Sites and other websites you visit so that we can provide a better experience for you. These third party service providers may collect anonymous information about your visits to our online Sites and your interaction with our online Sites. This anonymous information is collected through the use of a pixel tag and/or cookie. No personally identifiable information is collected or used in this process. Our third party service providers do not learn the name, telephone number, postal address, e-mail address, or any other personally identifiable information about you in connection with the aforementioned re-targeting process.
Shared Information
When required by law or where we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a criminal investigation, a court order, or legal process served on our company in direct relation to you. We may also share your personally identifiable information if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of the Terms of Use of our Sites and services, or as otherwise required by law.
If you have established an account with us, we may share the information submitted under your account among any or all of the BigTreeUSA Brands and affiliated companies and our Sites in order to provide you with a seamless experience and to improve the quality of our services. We will not disclose your account information to other people or non-affiliated companies, except in limited circumstances described in this privacy policy or with your consent.
In the event that another company acquires all or substantially all of the assets related to our business, we reserve the right to include any or all stored personally identifiable information among the assets transferred to the acquiring company.
We may store and process personally identifiable information collected on our Site in the United States or any other country in which we maintain facilities. By using our Sites and services, you consent to the transfer of your information among these facilities, including those located outside your country.
We currently DO NOT share your personally identifiable information with any other companies or organizations that would present you with offers or promotions that are not directly related to the BigTreeUSA Brands or any affiliated companies.
Security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of the data you provide to us. While no computer or facility is 100% safe from outside attacks, we believe that the steps we have taken to protect your personally identifiable information dramatically reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate for the type of data involved.
Opting-Out
You may opt-out of our services at any time. You are free to delete all cookies on your browser, or have your browser notify you when a cookie is set — simply check your browser settings. By deleting your cookies, you will disable our ability to deliver advertisements that are targeted to your interests. You will have to clear your cookies each time you visit our online Sites to ensure that you are not receiving re-targeted advertisements.
You may also receive e-mail messages from us if you choose to provide us with your e-mail address. You may choose to stop receiving e-mail messages by "opting-out" of our list. If you no longer wish to receive these communications, let us know by following the opt-out directions on any of the e-mail messages you have received from us.
Privacy Policy Changes
As we continue to improve the services, products, and features we provide, this privacy policy is subject to change. This privacy policy is subject to change without direct notice to you. We may change our policy at any time by posting a new version of it on our online Sites. Therefore, you should review this privacy policy each time you visit our Sites.
