Payments are processed by third-party payment processors (e.g. Stripe), so please refer to the applicable processor’s terms and privacy policy for more information about how payment information is processed and stored.

Information We Get From Others
We may collect personal information about you from third-party services and other sources so we can better understand you and provide you with services that may be of interest to you. Specifically:

• Website behavior: Bigscreen uses Google Analytics to track user behavior on the company's website. Google has its own privacy policy and self-certifies compliance with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework that the U.S. Department of Commerce developed in consultation with the European Commission to meet the European 'adequacy' standard for privacy protection. Google's privacy policy can be found here. You may opt out of the use of Google Analytics cookies by downloading and installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On, found here.
• Analytics: Bigscreen stores some user and behavioral information with a service (e.g. Oculus) that aggregates user behavior to produce trends and community metrics. Oculus has its own privacy policy and can be found here.
• Third-party Platforms: We may automatically receive your personal information from the platform through which you downloaded and use our Services (e.g. Oculus and Steam). Personal information collected by the third-party platform that you use to access our Services is subject to the applicable third-party terms of use and/or privacy policy (for more information, please see the Oculus Privacy Policy or Steam Privacy Policy Agreement as applicable). For instance, when you first use our Services using the Oculus store, your Oculus ID will automatically be transmitted to us, with no action on your part. Our use of your personal information collected through our Services is limited to the purposes described in USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION section below.
• Newsletter: Users that elect to sign up for the Bigscreen newsletter must agree to share an email address so that the newsletter can be delivered to them. The service we use (e.g. Revue) allows users to opt out of the newsletter after signing up.
Additionally there are a few special cases of information collection/retention to note:
