2. Types of Information Collected and Uses of Collected Information
|
| We collect two types of information about our Website Users: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. |
| |
| Personally Identifiable Information: Personally Identifiable Information is information that pertains to a specific End User. When you engage in certain activities on the Website, such as creating an account, ordering a product or service from us or our partners, submitting content and/or posting content in discussion forums, entering a contest or sweepstakes sponsored by us or our partners, filling out a survey, posting a review, sending us or our partners feedback, requesting information about our services, submitting an affiliate agreement, applying for a job, posting a video or signing up for special offers from third parties through the Website (collectively, “Identification Activities”), we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself. It is optional for you to engage in an Identification Activity. If you elect to engage in an Identification Activity, however, we may ask you to provide us with certain personal information about yourself, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including zip code), email address, telephone number and date of birth. When you order products or services, we may also ask you to provide us with your credit card number, expiration date and authentication codes or related information. Depending on the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some is identified as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory information for a particular activity that requires it, you will not be permitted to engage in that activity. |
| |
| Tell-A-Friend/Email it to a Friend: If you choose to use our referral service or recommend a deal to a friend, we will ask you for your friend's name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email with the information for them or inviting him or her to visit the site. Net Concepts stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email, sending them information, and tracking the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at info@webbig.com.my to request that we remove this information from our database. We use Personally Identifiable Information to provide products and services to you, administer sweepstakes and contests, enhance the operation of the Website, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, analyse Website use, improve our product and service offerings, and to tailor your experience with third parties as provided in Item 3 of this Privacy Policy. For example, if you send our customer service an email we may use your comments and feedback to tell others about our services, and may post your comment in our marketing materials or on our Website. Your comments may contain personal information such as your name, we will obtain consent from you to post your name along with your comment prior to posting your comment for public view. In addition, if you use our Website to send information or a product to another person, we may store your personal information. We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to troubleshoot, resolve disputes, accomplish administrative tasks, contact you, enforce our agreements with you, including our Website Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities. |
| |
| Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Non-Personally Identifiable Information is information that does not identify a specific End User. This type of information may include things like the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the website you visited before coming to our Website, the URL of the website you visit after leaving our Website, the type of browser you are using and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. We, and/or our authorized Third Party Service Providers and Advertisers, may automatically collect this information when you visit our Website through the use of electronic tools like Cookies and Web beacons or Pixel tags, as described in Items 4 and 8 of this Privacy Policy. We use Non-Personally Identifiable Information to troubleshoot, administer the Website, analyse trends, gather demographic information, comply with applicable law, and cooperate with law enforcement activities. We may also share this information with our authorized Third Party Service Providers and Advertisers to measure the overall effectiveness of our online advertising, content, and programming. |

3. Release of Personally Identifiable Information
|
| We will not share, sell, rent, or trade your Personally Identifiable Information with other parties except as provided below: |
| |
| We may share your information with Net Concepts Merchants. From time to time, we provide offers from particular merchants (referred to as “Net Concepts Merchants”) who, as part of the offer, request information on Net Concepts customers who purchased the offer in order to aid redemption. In those cases, we share some of your Personally Identifiable Information with Net Concepts Merchants. Sharing this Information may allow an Net Concepts Merchant to market directly to you should they choose to do so. However, we will only share Personally Identifiable Information with an Net Concepts Merchant if you engage in an Identification Activity, and then only to the Net Conceps Merchant involved in that Identification Activity. We specifically disclaim any responsibility or liability for the actions of such Net Concepts Merchant. While we inform them that they are only permitted to communicate with you for the purposes of the specific promotion with Net Concepts, we do not have any responsibility for the actions of the Net Concepts Merchant, and the actions of the Net Concepts Merchant are not in our control. |
| |
| We may remarket your information. Remarketing is a way for us to connect with users, based upon your past interactions with the Net Concepts website. Third-party marketing vendors may be hired by Net Concepts to perform remarketing services. As a result, third-party vendors, including Google, may show Net Concepts ads on sites on the internet. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to Net Concepts's website. Users may opt out of Google's use of cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page at http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html. This information is used only for remarketing purposes and will not be used by them for any other purpose. |
| |
| We may share your information in a Business Transfer. As with any other business, we could merge with, or be acquired by another company. If this occurs, the successor company would acquire the information we maintain, including Personally Identifiable Information. However, Personally Identifiable Information would remain subject to this Privacy Policy. |
| |
| We may share your information for our Protection and the Protection of Others. We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Website; enforce or apply this Privacy Policy, our Website Terms of Use or other agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of the Website, its Users or others. |

4. Release of Non-Personally Identifiable Information
|
| We may disclose or share Non-Personally Identifiable Information with Partners, Affiliates and Advertisers. For example, we may share aggregated demographic information (which does not include any Personally Identifiable Information) with “Third Party Advertisers” or “Third Party Advertising Companies” and other parties as provided below: |
| |
| We use Third Party Advertising Companies to serve ads when you visit our Website. These companies may use Non-Personally Identifiable Information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide, through the use of network tags, advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.

| Other Tracking Devices.

Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on certain pages on our Website, or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action. When you access these pages or open or click an email, pixel tags and web beacons generate a Non-Personally Identifiable notice of that action. Pixel tags allow us to measure and improve our understanding of visitor traffic and behavior on our Website, as well as give us a way to measure our promotions and performance. We may also utilize pixel tags and web beacons provided by our Affiliates and/or Marketing Partners for the same purposes. |
