Information Collection and Use
1BigDick.com is the sole owner of the information collected on this
site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others
in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. 1BigDick.com collects information from our users at several different points on
our web site.
Orders
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user
must provide contact information (like name and shipping address)
and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date).
This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer’s
orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information
is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to
any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the
user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance,
by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in
a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If
a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback
to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site.
For example, the user will not be able to participate in any of our
Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings that take place. Cookies
can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to
enhance the experience on our site.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example,
advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners
and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that
can identify any individual person.
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card
processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies
do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information
for any secondary purposes.
We partner with another party to provide specific services. When the
user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact
information that is necessary for the third party to provide these
services.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information
except for the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we
[1BigDick.com] are not responsible for the privacy practices of such
other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our
site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site
that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement
applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter [should we offer one],
we ask for contact information such as name and e-mail address.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site may request information from users via surveys
or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose
this information. Information requested may include contact information
(such as name and shipping address), and demographic information
(such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to
notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used
for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction
of this site.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend
about our site, we ask them for the friend’s name and e-mail
address. 1BigDick.com will automatically send the friend a one-time
e-mail inviting them to visit the site. 1BigDick.com stores this
information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time E-mail.
Security
This web site takes every precaution to protect our user’s’ information.
When users submit sensitive information via the web site, your information
is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information
(such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information
is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in
the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form,
the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator
and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked,
or open, when you are just ‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online,
we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line.
All of our user’s’ information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees
who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our
billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access
to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected
screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must
re-enter their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore,
ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees
are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy,
and what they can do to ensure our customers’ information is
protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable
information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage
If you have any questions about the security at our web site, you can
send us an e-mail.
Supplementation of Information
In order for this web site to properly fulfill its obligation to our
customers, it is necessary for us to supplement the information we
receive with information from 3rd party sources.
In order for this web site to enhance its ability to tailor the site
to an individual’s preference, we combine information about the
purchasing habits of users with similar information from our partners,
to create a personalized user profile. When a user makes a purchase
from either of these two companies, the companies collect and share
that purchase information with us so we can tailor the site to our
users’ preferences.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming e-mail to verify password and username.
Established members will occasionally receive information on products,
services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the
privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types
of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members
are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain
important information about the service. We communicate with the
user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating
to their account via e-mail or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such
as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will
endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user’s
personal data provided to us. This can be done by e-mailing us
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having
their information used for purposes not directly related to our site
at the point where we ask for the information. For example, our order
form has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who buy a product
from us, but don’t want any marketing material, can keep their
e-mail address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional
materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications
by replying to the email with unsubscribe in the subject line or
e-mail us.
Users of our site are always notified when their information is being
collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make
an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services
that require an outside party, or not. Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information
we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose
it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information
in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected,
we would notify users by way of an e-mail. Users will have a choice
as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner.
We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under
which the information was collected.
