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.

  • Transactions involving Third Parties: We make available to you services, products, applications, or skills provided by third parties for use on or through Big Bear Discount Services. For example, you can order products from third parties through our stores, download applications from third-party application providers from our App Store, and enable third-party skills through our Alexa services.

We never share your name or other information that directly identifies you when we do this. Instead, we use an advertising identifier like a cookie or other device identifier.
