We have developed this policy so that you can feel confident about the privacy and security of the personal information that you provide to us.

Disclosure of information

Bigcyprus takes all reasonable care to prevent any unauthorized access to and the use of your personal data.

Our staff and those working for our agents and contractors maintain a responsibility to keep your information confidential and will only use it to offer relevant products and services related to your enquiry.

Any personal details that we use to provide or promote our products and services to you (e.g. name, address, email address, telephone number, or any details of the services you have purchased or about which you have enquired) will not be passed to any third party organisation for marketing purposes without your permission and will not be used by us for any purpose other than that which you requested.

The Internet is not a secure medium. However to protect your data we put in place various security procedures including use of firewalls, backup measures, we limit access to data to relevant personnel and password protect all machinery holding personal data.

Personal information

You don't have to register to access Big Cyprus's website, however, we want to help you find exactly what you require as quickly and smoothly as possible. Therefore the more we know about your preferences the easier it is for us to help you. For this reason we encourage you to register with us.

Once registered we are in a better position to recommend specific properties or services of potential interest to you. Your details may be combined with other information in our records in order to:

• Save you having to keep giving us the same information for different Big Cyprus services.
• Help you to get more out of your visits to our website by suggesting information about products and services which may be useful to you.
• Keep other parts of Big Cyprus up to date with your details in order to offer you products and services by post or e-mail that may interest you.

When you register you consent to us using your personal data in the manner described in this Policy.

If you do not register, the personal data we collect from you will be limited to the specific enquiry you have made. Big Cyprus will use that data for no other purpose than to facilitate that transaction.

If any of the information that you provide to Big Cyprus changes, for example if you change your email address, name, address or contact numbers, please let us know the correct details by sending an email to Big Cyprus.

Cookies
