Use of Demographic and Profile Data

We use personal information to provide the services you request. To the extent we use your personal information to market to you, we will provide you the ability to opt-out of such uses. We use your personal information to resolve disputes; troubleshoot problems; help promote a safe service; collect fees owed; measure consumer interest in our products and services, inform you about online and offline offers, products, services, and updates; customize your experience; detect and protect us against error, fraud and other criminal activity; enforce our terms and conditions; and as otherwise described to you at the time of collection.

As we continually improve on our product and service offerings, we collect and analyze demographic and profile data about our users' activity on our website. We identify and use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our website. Your IP address is also used to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information.

We may from time to time request you to complete some simple and optional online surveys. These surveys may ask you for contact information and demographic information (like location, local government area, age, or income level or gender). We use this data to tailor your experience at our Website, providing you with content that we think you might be interested in--and to display content according to your preferences.

Sharing of personal information

We may share personal information with our other corporate entities, our suppliers and affiliates in an effort to detect and prevent identity theft, fraud and other potentially illegal acts; correlate related or multiple accounts to prevent abuse of our services; and to facilitate joint or co-branded services that you request where such services are provided by more than one corporate entity.

We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary.

We may disclose personal information to law enforcement agencies, Governmental offices, third party rights owners, or others in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to: enforce our Terms or Policy or protect the rights, property or personal safety of our users or the general public.

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling our customers' personal information to others. We share customers' personal information only as described below:

• Transactions involving Third Parties: We make available to you services, products, applications, or skills provided by third parties for use on or through PG Bison Services. We also offer services or sell product lines jointly with third-party businesses.
• Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders for products or services, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links, processing payments, transmitting content, scoring, assessing and managing credit risk, and providing customer service. These third-party service providers have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
• Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other businesses or services. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the event that PG Bison or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets. PG Bison therefore reserves the right to transfer all information, including your personal information, to a third party in the event of a merger, sale, liquidation, receivership or transfer of assets of our company provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of our Policy.
• Protection of PG Bison and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of PG Bison, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when personal information about you might be shared with third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

Links to Other Sites

For some of the functions within our Website we use third party suppliers and our website may contain links to other websites of interest. These links (and any other content from third party suppliers) may contain third party cookies, and we encourage you to consult the privacy and cookie policies of these third party vendors on their websites for information regarding their use of cookies. PG Bison is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those linked websites, as such websites are not governed by this Policy.

Security Precautions

PG Bison has taken security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information. Once your information is in our possession we adhere to strict security guidelines, protecting it against unauthorized access. However, data relay over the internet is inherently insecure, and we do not guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.

You can change your preferences for our website and/or the websites of any third party suppliers by changing your browser settings. Please note that most browsers automatically accept cookies. Therefore, if you do not wish cookies to be used, you may need to actively delete or block the cookies. If you reject the use of cookies, you will still be able to visit our websites but some of the functions may not work correctly. By using our website without deleting or rejecting some or all cookies, you agree that we can place those cookies that you have not deleted or rejected on your device.

How Secure is My Information?

We design our systems with your security and privacy in mind. We work to protect the security of your personal information during transmission by using encryption protocols and software.

We follow the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) when handling credit card data. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage, and disclosure of personal customer information. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.

It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computers, devices, and applications. Be sure to sign off/log out when finished using a shared device.
