We also may share Personal Information to enforce our rights, protect our property or protect the rights, property or safety of others, or as needed to support external auditing, compliance and corporate governance functions. We will disclose Personal Information as we deem necessary to respond to a subpoena, regulation, binding order of a data protection agency, legal process, governmental request or other legal or regulatory process. We may also share Personal Information as required to pursue available remedies or limit damages we may sustain.

We may transfer information, including your Personal Information, in connection with a merger, sale, acquisition or other change of ownership or control by or of us or any affiliated company (in each case whether in whole or in part). When one of these events occurs, we will use reasonable efforts to notify users before your information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

 

7. Information Storage and Security

We retain information as long as it is necessary and relevant for our operations. This includes the possibility that we will retain your data indefinitely. We also retain Personal Information to comply with applicable law, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigation, enforce our Terms of Use, collect any fees owed and other actions permitted by law. We delete data at our discretion, typically in accord with our data retention and destruction policies.

We, and our third party service providers, employ industry-standard security measures designed to protect the security of all information submitted through the Services.

When we receive your requests, we will verify your identity using your name, address, and phone number to match against the information we have. This process is necessary to identify the consumer making the request to a reasonable degree of certainty. If we cannot verify your identity, we will reject your request. If you make requests on behalf of your household, we will verify the identities of each member of your household.

To exercise these rights, contact us at Big Bolt, c/o Mercer Oak LLC, 29 N. Ada St., Chicago, IL 60607 or at Legal@bigbolt.net. We will process your request within 45 days unless we have a specific reason requiring additional time.
