BigIdea.com,
BigIdeaFun.com, Larryboy.com, BigIdeaVBS.com, and JonahMovie.com are operated by Big Idea, Inc. At Big Idea, our purpose and goal is to bring the uniquely creative storytelling of Big Idea to the world through fun and engaging interactive media. We will welcome our visitors more warmly, entertain more creatively, help parents to parent more effectively and treat guests with the utmost respect. And we take the issue of privacy very seriously. We respect the privacy of children, and do not collect any more personal information than is reasonably necessary to enable them to participate in the activities we offer at our Web sites. Kids: Be sure to ask your parents for permission before you send any information about yourself (your name, address, e-mail address, etc.) to us or anyone else over the Internet. Parents and Guardians: We encourage you to get involved with your children's online usage and to be aware of the activities in which they are participating. While we welcome all of our guests to enjoy the many features of our site, we encourage you to limit your children's time online. When used properly, the Internet can be entertaining and educational. But even we at Big Idea realize that there is a lot more to a well-balanced life than penguins from outer space or songs composed by a cucumber. Information Collection Policies: At our sites, we have a policy of collecting limited personally identifiable information. To enable children to participate in some of our online activities, we may ask them to provide us with their first name and e-mail address. Big Idea will only use this information for internal purposes -- for fulfillment of a requested transaction or to respond to children?s specific requests to participate in activities, such as sending electronic greeting cards. On some of the pages of our sites, such as where children can send electronic postcards or game links to their friends, we may ask your child to provide personal information about other people. This is usually limited to a first name and e-mail address. These personal information will be deleted from our records as soon as the e-mail card is sent. On some pages where newsletter or "VeggieGram" signups are available, visitors are required to be 13 years old or older to sign up. When you or your child visits our sites, we automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information, such as the type of computer operating system (e.g., Windows 98 or Mac OS) and browser (e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer) that you use, and the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., America Online, Earthlink). (See "Cookies," below.) We use this information to improve the design and content of our site, and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this information in the aggregate to analyze site usage and to offer you products, programs or services. We Do Not Share Personal Information: We do not share any personal information with anyone other than those who provide support for the internal operations of the Web sites, and our agents (e.g., contractors who provide fulfillment services, such as credit card processing, product order processing, or technical support to the Web site). All such agents or contractors with whom we share information have agreed to maintain the security and integrity of personal information. Product Orders: Big Idea uses an order form for users to request products and order information. For that order form, we collect the user's name, e-mail address, organization, billing address, phone number, shipping address, and necessary financial information to process the order (i.e. credit card number). The user is given the opportunity to have his address stored for his next purchase. We will disclose the information we maintain when required to do so by law -- for example, in response to a court order or subpoena. We may also disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency's request. If Big Idea, or substantially all of its assets, are acquired, the information we collect may be one of the transferred assets. Any such transfer will be subject to applicable privacy laws. Cookies: BigIdea.com uses cookies to help us make the site better. A "cookie" is a small, temporary file placed on your computer's hard disk, and is used to collect user information. (Unfortunately, it's not edible!) Cookies help us to find out what kind of computer and Web browser you are using to visit our site, how often you visit our site, and which pages you look at while you're here. The information we gather from these cookies helps us to make our site available to the most people possible. Big Idea collects aggregate information about visitors to our site. We do not use cookies to collect specific information about individual users, such as your name, address, e-mail address, credit card information, passwords, or anything else. Sometimes we will attach information from cookies to messages sent to our Customer Service department. Most Web browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent by changing your preferences under the options menu of your browser. However, some portions of our sites may not function properly or may run very slowly when you change this setting on your browser. Security: We have in place appropriate safeguards to secure the very limited personal information we receive from our visitors for the limited time it is in our possession. We use industry standard security measures, such as SSL, to protect any sensitive information (such as credit card information) that you may provide to us to access some of our services. Off-Site Links: Big Idea generally avoids linking from our Web sites to other sites. Occasionally, we put up links to partner sites for a limited time in order to promote our contests. We require such partners not to use the information collected for any other purpose. We may also provide links to newsworthy information or articles about Big Idea that may be of interest to Big Idea Web site visitors (e.g. awards and award nominations garnered by Big Idea video and theatrical releases, and published reviews of our products). Furthermore, we offer the visitor the option to view our video clips through third-party software, such as Apple QuickTime. We do not make representations and warranties as to other sites' content or information collection policies. Changes to the Privacy Policy: This policy is reviewed periodically by Big Idea and may be subject to change. Any changes will be posted here. |
