Save for the foregoing, your Personal Data will not be knowingly transferred to any place outside Malaysia or be knowingly disclosed to any third party unnecessarily.

 

Links to Third Party Websites

The Website may contain links to other third party websites with confidentiality policies that are different from this Privacy Policy. Consequently, Big Bad Wolf Companies shall not be liable for the content or practices of the linked websites. We advise you to check the confidentiality policy of any website you access via the Website. The Personal Data you choose to give to unrelated third parties is covered by their privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.

If you use the chat rooms on the Website, you should be aware that any Personal Data you submit there can be read, collected, and used by other users of these forums and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We shall not be responsible for the Personal Data that you choose to submit therein.

 

Email Communications

To enable you to take advantage of related opportunities on the Website, we would be sending you email that contain information about your book-related interests. For example, if you have completed a search for a book on home designs on the Website and have saved your cart or otherwise not yet purchased your book, we may send you an email message reminding you about your saved item or about a home design. Similarly, if you receive an email from us about home design and demonstrate an interest in architecture by affirmatively clicking on a link about architecture in the email, you may receive an email about architectural books on offers or other information. We believe these email messages will provide you with useful information about book-related special offers available through the Website. Please note that you will have the opportunity to choose not to receive these email messages in any such email we send.

 

Protection of Personal Data

Please be rest assured that we take the necessary precautions, both administrative and technical, to prevent and safeguard your Personal Data against loss, theft, misuse and unauthorised access, disclosure, usage, alternation or destruction.

You are responsible for ensuring that the Personal Data you provide us is accurate, complete and not misleading and that such Personal Data is kept up to date. We may request your assistance to procure the consent of third parties whose Personal Data is provided by you to us and you agree to use your best endeavours to do so.

We shall endeavour to make it easy for you to keep your information accurate, complete and up to date by accessing the My Profile page on the Website. We will retain your personal data for the period necessary to fulfill the many different purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is permitted or required by law.

We store and process Personal Data in secure environments in the country or region where it is collected. In order to provide our services, we must transfer your Personal Data to countries where our third-party vendors are located. Such transfers of Personal Data will be conducted in accordance with local data protection laws.
