For each visitor to our website, our Web server automatically recognizes the visitor's IP address, but not their email address nor any other personal information. We use the IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website.

We use Cookies to record session information and visitor-specific information on what web pages visitors access or visit in order to track the visitor's progress through our web site, analyze system performance, and ensure that visitors are not repeatedly sent the same ads or marketing messages. Cookies expire at the end of the day on which the visit occurred.

Clear GIFs
Also known as Web Beacons or Web Bugs, these tiny graphics inform us if a web page, an email, a banner ad, or other marketing campaign was viewed, opened, or accessed. They help us evaluate what content and campaigns are effective, and help us to manage our content to better serve your needs.

Use of Cookies

The BigSavingsFinder Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize BigSavingsFinder pages, or register with BigSavingsFinder site or services, a cookie helps BigSavingsFinder to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same BigSavingsFinder Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the BigSavingsFinder features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the BigSavingsFinder services or Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

BigSavingsFinder secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. BigSavingsFinder secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

BigSavingsFinder will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. BigSavingsFinder encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how BigSavingsFinder is protecting your information.
