This document sets forth the Big “A” Drugstores Online Privacy Policy (the "Privacy Policy") for this Web site, www.bigadrug.com (the "Site"). If you have objections to the Privacy Policy, you should not access or use this Site. This Privacy Policy does not govern privacy practices associated with offline activities. Changes in Privacy Policy All "personal information" ("personal information" is defined as any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information pertains) that we collect and maintain will be subject to the version of the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of such collection. Big “A” Drugstores reserves the right to change the Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion, and will provide notice of material changes on the privacy policy page of the Site. If as the result of such changes, you want to alter the ways in which Big “A” Drugstores is allowed to use your personal information, you can do so by following the procedure described below in the section titled "Updating your personal information and privacy preferences." You will be deemed to have been made aware of, and will be subject to, the changes to the Privacy Policy by your continued use of the Site after such notice has been posted for thirty (30) days with the following exception: If at the time you provide personal information to Big “A” Drugstores you are given the opportunity (as you currently are) to limit how such information will be used to communicate with you, either by Big “A” Drugstores or by third parties, Big “A” Drugstores will not change your preference in this regard without your express consent. However, if Big “A” Drugstores sells assets (or the assets of a division or subsidiary) to another entity, or Big “A” Drugstores (or a division or subsidiary) is acquired by, or merged with, another entity, Big “A” Drugstores may provide to such entity customer information that is related to that part of our business that was sold to or merged with the other entity without your consent. Entities collecting personal information Personal information on this Site is collected by Big “A” Drugstores. Big “A” Drugstores corporate address is 12030 S. Garfield Ave, South Gate, CA 90280 and its telephone number is (562) 633-9578. The Site may contain links to other sites at which personal information is collected. In such instances, unless expressly provided to the contrary, the collection and use of your personal information will be governed by the privacy policy applicable to that site. That privacy policy should identify the entity that is collecting your personal information. Collection of personal information As a visitor to this Site, you can engage in many activities without providing any personal information. In connection with other activities, such as joining our online preferred customer list or refilling a prescription, Big “A” Drugstores may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, Big “A” Drugstores may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including ZIP code), e-mail address, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal information. Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity. When you use the Site, Big “A” Drugstores or third parties authorized by Big “A” Drugstores may also collect certain technical and routing information about your computer to facilitate your use of the Site and its services. For example, we may log environmental variables, such as browser type, operating system, CPU speed, and the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of your computer. We use these environmental variables to facilitate and track your use of the Site and its services. Big “A” Drugstores also uses such environmental variables to measure traffic patterns on the Site. Without expressly informing you in each particular circumstance, we do not match such information with any of your personal information. When you submit personal information to Big “A” Drugstores through this Site, you understand and agree that this information may be transferred across national boundaries and may be stored and processed in any of the countries in which Big “A” Drugstores and its affiliates and subsidiaries maintain offices, including, without limitation, the United States. You also acknowledge that in certain countries or with respect to certain activities, the collection, transferring, storage, and processing of your information may be undertaken by trusted vendors of Big “A” Drugstores. Such vendors are bound by contract not to use your personal information for their own purposes or provide it to any third parties. One instance where this could occur is in conjunction with framed pages in which the URL for the pages is not visible and the pages are being hosted by a vendor of Big “A” Drugstores.
