Introduction

At BigCircle, our mission is to provide exceptional service through our service-based company. As part of this process, we collect, use, and share personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how BigCircle manages this process and provides you with the choices and rights you have in relation to your information.

Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of BigCircle's platforms and services, including our websites, technology, and other services (collectively referred to as the "Service" or "Services"). This Privacy Policy outlines how BigCircle collects, retains, and uses information, including personal data ("Personal Data") and non-identifiable data, about Service users. The policy also covers data collected in-person, such as at business conferences and trade shows, or through client support. Your access to and use of the Services is also subject to our Terms of Service.

Information We Collect

We collect Personal Data that is entered on our Service or sent to us electronically, such as when you complete a web form to provide Personal Data directly to us (e.g., when you contact our support), when you voluntarily provide information during registration for access to the BigCircle Service (e.g., account level data including your name, email, and password), or when you contact us with inquiries or respond to our surveys.

When you interact with BigCircle through the services, we automatically collect certain information, including via cookies.

As a user of our Service, our servers record information ("log data") that your computer or browser automatically sends whenever you use the Service. This log data includes your Internet Protocol ("IP") address (from which we understand the country you are connecting from at the time you visit the Service), browser type and settings, and the date and time of your request.

How We Use Your Information

To Provide The Services And Respond To Requests BigCircle uses the Personal Data you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data for a specific reason, we may use the Personal Data in connection with that reason.

For example, if you contact us by email, we will use the Personal Data you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. Additionally, if you provide Personal Data to obtain access to the Service, we will use your Personal Data to provide you with access to the Service, maintain your account, contact you regarding your use of the Service or notify you of important changes to the Service, and monitor your use of such services.

For Marketing Purposes We may use your contact details to inform you about services we believe will be of interest to you, upcoming events, or other promotions. Each marketing communication we send you will contain instructions permitting you to "opt out" of receiving future marketing communications. Please note that as a user of our services, you may not be able to opt out of certain administrative communications that are reasonably necessary for the services.

Where required by applicable law, we will only send you marketing information by email if you consent to us doing so. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by following the instructions to "opt out" of receiving marketing communication in each marketing email we send you or by contacting us.

As Necessary For Certain Legitimate Interests We use your Personal Data for legitimate interests, including:

• Sending administrative information, such as information regarding the Service and changes to our terms, conditions, and policies.
• Responding to your inquiries and fulfilling your requests.
• Conducting analytics on how our Service is being used to improve our offerings and services.
• Preventing fraud or criminal activity and ensuring the security of our IT systems and networks.
• Complying with legal obligations and protecting our rights and the rights of others.

If we intend to use Personal Data in a manner that is not consistent with this Privacy Policy, you will be informed prior to or at the time of collection, as required by applicable law.

Non-Identifiable or Aggregated Data

When you interact with BigCircle through the Service, we receive and store certain non-identifiable information. This information, collected passively using various technologies, cannot be used to specifically identify you. We may store and use this information to track the total number of users, the number of hours worked, the location of our users, and how users interact with the Service. We may also share this non-identifiable and aggregate data with our affiliates, agents, and business partners for lawful purposes.
