This privacy notice discloses the privacy practices of Aavan International, Inc. and its corporate family (as defined under clause “Other Corporate Entities”) which includes the brand “Giant Media LLC” and other brands owned by the corporate family (collectively referred to as “We”, “Our” or “Group Bayport). This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by Giantmediaonline.com. It covers the following:

  • What personally identifiable information is collected from you through the website, how it is used and with whom it may be shared.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing:

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone outside of our corporate family. We will share this within our corporate family for business purposes.

Giant Media will continue to provide high quality and low prices for our customers, to generate the highest customer satisfaction, and to be the supplier of choice for the online Giant Media market.

We will use your information to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, except when needed to fulfill your request (e.g., to ship an order).

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products, or services, or notify you of changes to this privacy policy.

When you provide your mobile phone number on a form or website of Giant Media or our corporate family, you are consenting to receive SMS or WhatsApp messages, automated calls, and IVR that enable us to share important updates about your orders, promptly address your queries, and provide crucial service-related information. If we collect your mobile phone number, we may use the mobile phone number to send SMS or WhatsApp messages to you. You may opt out of SMS and WhatsApp messages by following the instructions below under the heading, “Opt Out Instructions.”

Further, your personal information is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share your personal information only to categories of persons that are either subject to this Privacy Policy or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Policy as more particularly described below. 

Internal Service Providers

We may employ third party services to facilitate or outsource one or more aspects of the business, product, and service operations that we provide to you on Giant Media (e.g., search technology, discussion boards, bill collection, affiliate and rewards programs, and co-branded credit cards). Therefore, we may provide some of your personal information to these internal service providers as permitted by law. These internal service providers are subject to confidentiality agreements with us and other legal restrictions that prohibit their use of your personal information for any other purpose except to facilitate the specific outsourced service. In the event of your direct involvement with the internal service provider, any additional information disclosed by you to them shall be subject to the internal service provider’s own applicable privacy policy and you agree and acknowledge that We shall not be responsible for the same.

Other Corporate Entities

We share much of our data, including personal information about you, with our “corporate family” (Doing Business as “Group Bayport”) comprising Aavan International, Inc. (“Aavan”) and its affiliates, subsidiaries, brands, and joint ventures that are committed to serving your online trading needs and related services for marketing purposes, product updates, product safety information or customer service information. For example, we partner with companies that assist us in identifying other products and services from our corporate family and brands to market to you. Unless you opt out, you may receive marketing communications from giantmediaonline.com, or other entities that form part of our corporate family. Even if you do opt out of receiving marketing information from our corporate family, you may still receive communications related to product updates, product safety information or customer service information that you purchased or expressed an interest in purchasing. To the extent that these entities have access to your personal information, they remain bound by the existing Privacy Policy. As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, the customer’s personal information generally is one of the transferred business assets, but which remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy. You may contact us at any time to tell us to stop sharing your information with our related corporate family entities. If you decide at a later time to opt out of receiving marketing notifications from us or them, you may contact us at any time to do so. 

Legal Requests

We cooperate with law enforcement and regulatory inquiries, as well as other third parties to enforce laws, such as: intellectual property rights, fraud, and other rights, to help protect you and the community from bad actors. Therefore, in response to a verified request by law enforcement or other government officials relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity, we may (and you authorize us to) disclose some of your personal information as is reasonably necessary to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process. We may disclose personal information to law enforcement offices, third party rights owners, or others in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our Terms or Privacy Policy; respond to claims that an advertisement, posting, or other content violates the rights of a third party; or protect the rights, property or personal safety of our users or the general public.
