Agents
We use an outside shipping company (including, but not limited to the US Postal
Service & UPS) to fulfill orders, and a credit card processing company
(including Authorize.net & Meramack Bank) to bill you for goods and
services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information for any other purposes.
Control of your Personal Information
Promotional and customer feedback information may be sent about products and
services from BigMansLand or our partners, special promotional offers,

receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your
preference on our order form.
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications,
you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in
each newsletter or communication or by emailing us at help@bigmansland.com.

Security of your Personal Information
BigMansLand is committed to protecting the security of your personal
information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help
protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter
sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security
number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using
secure socket layer technology (SSL). [To learn more about SSL, follow this
link http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&oi=defmore&q=define:SSL.]
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal
information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage,
is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially
acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its
absolute security.
If you have any questions about security on our Web site, you can send email us
at help@bigmansland.com
Use of Cookie
To make it easy and convenient for you to login to our services, the
BigMansLand site requires you to enable cookies to utilize our services.
Because we use cookies, you can bookmark your BigMansLand start page and access
your account without logging in.
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. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a
site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits. When you return to the same BigMansLand site, the information you
previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the 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 will
not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the BigMansLand Web
site or other Web sites you visit.

privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the BigMansLand

Use of Third Party Ad Networks
The majority of the online banner advertisements you see on the BigMansLand Web
sites are displayed by BigMansLand. In addition, BigMansLandl also allows other
companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to display
advertisements on BigMansLand Web sites. Some of these ad networks may place a
persistent cookie on your computer. Doing this allows the ad network to
recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. In this
way, ad networks may compile information about where you, or others who are
using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are
clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver advertisements
that they believe will be of most interest to you.BigMansLand does not have
access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third-party ad
servers or ad networks.
BigMansLand may maintain relationships with a number of the third-party ad
networks. Those ad networks that use persistent cookies may offer you a way to
opt out of ad targeting.
