Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Bigfoot Containers respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected.

This Privacy Policy explains the information we collect when you visit Bigfoot Containers, interact with our website, submit a container inquiry, or use features offered through the site.

It also explains how analytics, advertising, cookies, and similar technologies may be used and the privacy choices available to you.

4. Container One Fulfillment

Bigfoot Containers operates as a shipping-container buyers guide.

When you request container pricing, availability, delivery assistance, or fulfillment, information you provide may be shared with Container One so a Container One specialist can respond to your request.

Information shared may include:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number
• ZIP code
• Container interests
• Details included with your inquiry

Container One receives this information for the purpose of responding to and fulfilling the request you initiated.

5. HubSpot and CRM Processing

Bigfoot Containers may use HubSpot or similar customer-relationship-management services to receive, organize, track, and manage container inquiries.

Information submitted through Bigfoot Containers may therefore be processed through our CRM and made available to authorized personnel involved in responding to your inquiry.

6. Analytics, Session Replay and Advertising Technologies

Bigfoot Containers may use third-party technologies to understand website usage, improve performance, and measure advertising.

These may include:

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Google Analytics may collect information about how visitors find and use the website, including pages viewed, approximate location, device information, referral source, interactions, and similar usage information.

MICROSOFT CLARITY

Microsoft Clarity may be used to understand how visitors interact with website pages through tools such as aggregated heatmaps and session-interaction analytics.

Bigfoot Containers will configure such technology to avoid intentionally capturing information entered into lead forms where technically supported.

META PIXEL

The Meta Pixel may be used to measure advertising performance, understand whether users take actions after viewing or clicking an advertisement, create advertising audiences where permitted, and improve campaign measurement.

OTHER ADVERTISING TECHNOLOGIES

We may later use comparable advertising, attribution, analytics, conversion-measurement, or audience technologies provided by platforms such as Google, Meta, Microsoft, or other marketing providers.

These technologies may use cookies, pixels, browser identifiers, device identifiers, or similar mechanisms.

The FTC has long recognized that behavioral advertising involves tracking online activity to deliver or measure tailored advertising and recommends clear disclosure and consumer choice around such practices.

7. Cookie Categories

Our website may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies.

STRICTLY NECESSARY

These technologies are required for core website functions such as:

• Security
• Form processing
• Website navigation
• Privacy preference storage
• Fraud prevention

These cannot generally be disabled through our preference center because the website may not function properly without them.

ANALYTICS

Analytics technologies help us understand:

• Number of visitors
• Pages viewed
• Traffic sources
• Device types
• Website performance
• How visitors navigate the website

Examples may include Google Analytics.

EXPERIENCE AND SESSION ANALYTICS

These tools may help us identify usability issues, understand navigation patterns, and improve website design.

Examples may include Microsoft Clarity.

ADVERTISING AND TARGETING

Advertising technologies may be used to:

• Measure advertising campaigns
• Attribute inquiries to advertisements
• Limit repetitive advertising
• Build or measure audiences
• Deliver advertising that may be more relevant to visitors

Examples may include Meta Pixel and advertising technologies from Google or other platforms.

8. Your Cookie and Tracking Choices

Where supported or required, Bigfoot Containers provides controls allowing you to:

• Accept all optional technologies
• Reject non-essential technologies
• Enable or disable particular categories
• Change your choices later through Your Privacy Choices

Necessary technologies remain active because they are required for core website functionality.

Your selections may be stored in your browser so the website can remember your privacy preferences.

9. Global Privacy Control and Opt-Out Preference Signals

Bigfoot Containers intends to recognize legally applicable browser-based privacy signals, including Global Privacy Control (GPC) and other qualifying opt-out preference signals.

Where such a signal legally represents an opt-out from sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, Bigfoot Containers will treat that signal accordingly.

California regulations recognize opt-out preference signals as a mechanism through which consumers can automatically exercise sale/sharing opt-out rights.

10. Sale, Sharing and Targeted Advertising

Bigfoot Containers does not sell personal information for money.

However, certain advertising technologies can constitute “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a “sale” under some state privacy laws even where no money changes hands.

For this reason, visitors may be provided with the ability to opt out of:

• Sharing personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising
• Targeted advertising
• Certain advertising-related disclosures

Where required, these choices may be accessed through Your Privacy Choices.

Bigfoot Containers will also honor qualifying browser-based opt-out preference signals where legally required.

11. Information We Do Not Intentionally Send to Advertising Platforms

Bigfoot Containers should not intentionally transmit information entered into its container-request forms directly to advertising pixels or analytics tools, including:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Free-form inquiry text

Advertising and analytics tools should instead receive permitted event information such as a successful form submission or conversion event, subject to applicable privacy choices.

12. Communications

If you submit a container inquiry, Bigfoot Containers and/or Container One may contact you by human-initiated telephone call or email concerning that inquiry.

Submitting a website form does not by itself enroll you in recurring automated promotional SMS communications.

If automated marketing communications are introduced later, appropriate consent and opt-out mechanisms will be implemented separately.

13. Service Providers

We may disclose information to service providers that perform functions on our behalf, including:

• Hosting providers
• CRM providers
• Form-processing providers
• Analytics providers
• Advertising and attribution platforms
• Security providers
• Email providers
• Technical support providers

We expect service providers to handle information in accordance with applicable contractual and legal requirements.

14. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Respond to requests
• Provide requested services
• Maintain business records
• Conduct reasonable follow-up
• Measure website or marketing performance
• Prevent abuse or fraud
• Resolve disputes
• Satisfy legal obligations

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, it may be deleted, anonymized, or securely disposed of.

15. Data Security

Bigfoot Containers uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

No electronic system or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

16. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights including:

• Accessing personal information
• Correcting inaccurate personal information
• Requesting deletion
• Obtaining certain copies of your information
• Learning how information has been collected or disclosed
• Opting out of sale or sharing
• Opting out of targeted advertising
• Opting out of certain profiling
• Appealing certain privacy-request decisions
• Exercising your rights without unlawful discrimination

California specifically provides applicable rights involving knowing/accessing, deletion, correction and opt-outs from sale or sharing.

17. Exercising Your Rights

Privacy inquiries and requests may be submitted to:

Bigfoot Containers
privacy@bigfootcontainers.com

You may also use the Your Privacy Choices link available in the website footer to manage applicable cookie, advertising, sale/sharing, or targeted-advertising preferences.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

Where applicable, privacy appeals may be submitted to the same email address with Privacy Appeal in the subject line.

18. Children's Privacy

Bigfoot Containers is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If we discover that such information has been collected improperly, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

19. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party sites.

Bigfoot Containers is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites or services controlled by other organizations.

We encourage visitors to review their privacy policies separately.

20. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in:

• Website functionality
• Tracking technology
• Advertising practices
• Service providers
• Legal requirements
• Business operations

The Last Updated date at the top identifies the latest version.
