We have implemented security policies, rules and technical measures to protect the personal data that we have under our control from unauthorized access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorized modification, unlawful destruction or accidental loss.
All our employees and data processors, who have access to, and are associated with the processing of personal data, are obliged to respect the confidentiality of our visitor’s personal data.

Your credit information is never re-transmitted over the internet, assuring that the information you enter on our site, is processed locally and never goes beyond this site.

Ultimately, our visitor’s personal information is protected by the password he/she created when he/she created an account at Giant Tiger (or another password he/she chose after changing a previous password). The visitor must keep this password confidential. No Customer Service Representative or any other representative of Giant Tiger will ever ask the visitor for his/her password. The confidentiality of the visitor’s password is his/her responsibility to protect. He/she may change it anytime.

Giant Tiger ensures that the visitor’s personal data will not be disclosed to Provincial or State institutions and authorities except if required by law or other regulation.

 

5. Automatic Collection of Information; Cookies and IP Addresses [ back to top ]

Giant Tiger uses a feature of the visitor’s web browser called a "cookie" to assign a unique identity to his/her computer. Cookies are files that the web browsers place on computer’s hard drive. Our cookies enable us to provide features such as welcoming the visitor by his name, saving his/her  Wish List, storing items in his/her Shopping Cart between visits, and setting up other preferences the visitor establishes during each visit to the website.

Giant Tiger also uses cookies to help determine whether the visitor came to the website from a particular Internet link or banner advertisement. Cookies can be used to help save and retrieve usernames used on the website and provide information on past purchases. This is done for convenience and saves the visitor the trouble of re-entering information on every visit to the website. Cookies cannot be used by Giant Tiger to retrieve any personal information about the visitor unless he/she has previously purchased from or registered with the Giant Tiger website. We do not and cannot use cookies to retrieve personal information about the visitor from his/her computer unless such information was knowingly and willingly provided by him/her.

Every computer on the Internet is identified by a unique number called an IP address. If the visitor has a static IP address, he/she gets the same number each time she connects to the Internet. If the visitor has a dynamic IP address, a number is assigned from a pool of addresses maintained by his/her ISP (Internet Service Provider) on a first-come basis. Giant Tiger only uses the visitor’s IP address to help diagnose problems with its server, to administer its Site, and to gather basic demographic information.

 

6. Changing and Modifying Your Account [ back to top ]

Giant Tiger gives the visitor choices and control over the collection and use of his/her Personal Information. He/she can update his/her Personal Information or remove his/her email address from Giant Tiger’s email list.

There are known methods that spammers can use to hide their identity by using other people's email address to send out emails. If the visitor has any question about the genuineness of an email he/she received that appears to be from Giant Tiger, contact us at onlinesupport@gianttiger.com and do not furnish any kind of personal information in response to that email until you receive a response from us.

The visitor can also choose to receive email communications such as Giant Tiger’s list of releases, promotions, featured items and bulletins and other forms of communication. At any time, the visitor can change his mind and cancel these FREE subscriptions.
