Use of Cookies

Cookies are pieces of information that a Website transfers to an individual’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes so that we may track site and user activity. The use of cookies is an industry standard and you will find them at most major Websites. By showing how and when visitors use the site, cookies help Big Al’s Cycles to determine better which areas of our site are popular and which areas are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you’d prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some parts of our site will not function properly if you do so.

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information to Provide a Service or Correspondence

There are instances where Big Al’s Cycles requests and collects information which may be personally identifiable to provide the Website visitor a service or correspondence (e.g., e-newsletters, promotions, mailed brochures, and/or press releases). This personal information, such as name, mailing address, e-mail address, type of request, and possibly additional information, is collected and stored in a manner appropriate to the nature of the data, and may be passed on to our sponsors, affiliates, and fulfillment associates. Once our sponsors, affiliates, and/or fulfillment associates receive this information that data also becomes the property of each respective sponsor, affiliate, and/or fulfillment associates. Any request to opt out of future communications from such sponsors, affiliates and/or fulfillment associates must be made directly to each such party.


Transmission of Information

Our website uses Secure Sockets Layering (SSL) to encrypt your personal credit information, including your credit card number, before it travels over the Internet. SSL technology is the industry standard for secure online transactions. Because we use SSL, placing an order online at our website is just as safe as giving your credit card number over the phone.

When you make a purchase online, either a solid key or a locked padlock icon will appear in the lower right of your browser window. This icon indicates that your transaction session is secured through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). If one of these icons does not appear, please contact Big Al’s Cycles at bigalscycles@gmail.com to complete your purchase.

Big Al’s Cycles does not store this information and the information is used for the sole purpose of sending this one-time e-mail.
