To sum it up, we won't spam you and we won't share your information with unrelated third parties for marketing purposes without your permission.
We host data with various vendors who help deliver our service (web hosts, email service providers, etc) but these entities are not allowed to market to you in any way.
To monitor and improve the service we use a variety of tracking methods to determine how you use Big Prize Giveaways. Basically, if you use it we try to track it but we don't sell it.
That's pretty much it. The full legal version follows for your reading pleasure.
This privacy policy outline provides details on how we treat any personal information you may submit to us and other personally identifiable information we collect.
This privacy policy applies to all Big Prize Giveaways websites and their services (collectively "Big Prize Giveaways"). Please note that this policy applies only to the Big Prize Giveaways family of websites and not to websites maintained by other companies or organizations to which we link. In addition, this policy applies only to information collected by Big Prize Giveaways through our family of websites, and not through offline or other means.

We may also collect personal information from you in order to notify you about products, services, and other opportunities we think will be of interest to you. For example:
If you choose to register, we will collect your e-mail address and contact information. We will also collect information about the kind of offers that may be of interest to you in the future and the kind of offers that you do not wish to receive.

This data is also subject to the Sharing and Disclosure provision detailed below when you register with Big Prize Giveaways, you may be taken through a series of questions designed to closely tailor your user experience to your interests. We will use this information to pair you with services and offers that will interest you.
We also collect demographic information. Demographic information is all other information such as gender, zip code, or any information that is not tied to your personal information. For example:

In addition, we might receive information about you from other online or offline sources and may add that information to your existing account. Please note that Big Prize Giveaways may maintain the information you provided whether or not you elect to use any of our affiliated services.
We may share personal information about you under the following circumstances:
During registration and at other times as you use our services, you may be asked a series of questions designed to ascertain your interest in products or services that advertise through the BigPrize.com family of websites. If you express your desire to learn more about an offer or service advertised through Big Prize Giveaways or to participate in an offer or service advertised through a Big Prize Giveaways website, we may pass your information along to the entity in whom you have interest.
We may share your personal and demographic information with another company if you engage in a transaction through a Big Prize Giveaways website or through one of our services. Often information may be provided to third-party advertisers when we link you to their offer. This practice is known as "pre-population" so that you do not have to re-enter information on the advertiser website.
On each page where we pass data to our marketing partners, you have the ability to "opt out" of the data pass. If the feature is set to "on" we will pass data to the partner site in order to help pre-populate forms and make your browsing experience more convenient. However, if you set the data pass feature to "off", we will pass no data to the partner site.
Upon receiving affirmative consent, we may share your information with Marketing Partners including advertisers and list managers who will market to you in exchange for a fee to Big Prize Giveaways. This may be done through a data licensing agreement or a data sales agreement.
We sometimes disclose the information we collect to companies that operate various services for us such as email distribution, advertising, or certain product functionalities. These vendors have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, and may not share it with others or use it for any other purpose.
We may share personal and demographic information about you with our subsidiaries, parent company, or sister companies.
We may be required to share your personal information with law enforcement or government agencies in response to subpoenas, court orders, federal/state audits or similar circumstances. We believe it is necessary to share information 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 BigPrize.com's Terms of Use, or as otherwise required by law.
As with any other business, it is possible that Big Prize Giveaways in the future could merge with or be acquired by another company. If such an acquisition occurs, the successor company would have access to the information maintained by Big Prize Giveaways, including your personal information, customer and business account information, but would continue to be bound by this policy unless you consent otherwise.
You may receive advertisements for the Big Prize Giveaways family of web properties from third parties. For instance, when visiting a third party website, you may receive a "pop up" window advertising a Big Prize Giveaways site. Please note that such advertisements are served by the third party website that you have visited and are not controlled by Big Prize Giveaways.com. In addition, such advertisements may be placed by third party ad servers or ad networks. These companies may employ cookies and action tags to measure advertising effectiveness. You may find more information at the website of the individual ad network.
To serve you faster and with better quality, we use "cookies" technology. Cookies are small bits of code, usually stored on a user's computer hard drive, which enable a website to "personalize" itself for each user. We generally use cookies to reduce the time it takes for pages to load on your computer and to assist with user tracking. User tracking (or "click-stream") data collected by us is used to optimize your experience by learning whether or not you successfully used one of the Big Prize Giveaways sites. Cookies may be tied to your personal information. Additionally, we may capture click-stream data on some of our partner's websites, limited to the activity involved with the completion of offers listed on our website. This information is used to monitor the performance of our partners.
We also keep track of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer every time you log on to the Internet.
We employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons) that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movement of Web users. Clear gifs are not tied to users' personally identifiable information. We also use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails the recipients have opened. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If users would like to opt-out of these emails, please see the unsubscribe instructions in any email you receive.
This privacy policy applies to all information that you provide to any of the Big Prize Giveaways websites.

If you choose to obtain certain services through a third party site, the data collected by the third party is governed by that third party's privacy policy. A third party site will also have its own policy regarding the use of cookies and clear gifs. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any other service provider from whom you request services.
In some cases, we may use third parties to operate portions of the Big Prize Giveaways family of websites.
