Information Collection

Some areas of our web sites may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, including your name, email address, etc., for purposes such as receiving promotional marketing, correspondence, or participating in online surveys. Whenever we collect personal information and supply that information to third parties who will market their products or services to you, it will be apparent that third parties will market to you and you will always have the option of not supplying your personal information if you object to receiving marketing materials.

Big Sky Topical may also retain electronic communications you send to our customer service representatives, webmaster or other associates. These may be shared within Big Sky Topical as a means to continually improve customer service.

Big Sky Topical web sites track information about the visits to those sites. For example, statistics are compiled that show the daily number of visitors to a site, the daily requests received for particular files on a site, and what countries those requests come from. These aggregated statistics are used to customize our web site to better meet your needs and may also be provided to others to show the effectiveness of any advertising.

Big Sky Topical uses a technology called "cookies" which can be used to provide you with tailored information from a web site.
