This Web site is operated by Giant RV Inc. This privacy policy (“Privacy
Policy”) applies to information that you provide to Giant RV via this

that may be provided by other means or media, including as set forth below
and as defined in the applicable Terms of Service or other terms.
This Privacy Policy is intended to provide you notice of Giant RV's information
management practices, including the types of information gathered, how it is
used and safeguarded, and the degree to which you may control the maintenance
and sharing of your information. Your use of any Giant RV Service or Web site
constitutes acceptance of this Privacy Policy and any other applicable terms.

will need to provide personally information, such as name, mailing address,
e-mail address, phone number, and date of birth. Your information may be collected
by Giant RV or by a third party, such as a co-sponsor or a vendor involved
in, or providing services in connection with, a Special Promotion, or an e-commerce
partner in the case of a Purchase
If you make a Purchase or enter a sweepstakes or other Special Promotion on
one of our sites or through our Services, Giant RV will collect your personally
identifiable information, and you are deemed to consent to us providing your

of credit card transactions, customer service, promotion or sweepstakes administration,
order fulfillment and/or prize delivery, as applicable. Personally

information for their own marketing purposes and/or from sharing, selling,
or otherwise distributing any personal data of our customers, unless you
choose to opt in to for such additional uses and/or disclosure by the third

If you make a purchase or enter a promotion (such as a sweepstakes) in which
Giant RV is participating on a third party's Web site (or through some other
means or medium), we will collect your information from the third party only
if you opt-in to receive additional communications from us, or we are required
to fulfill some function in relation to your activity (e.g., to send your order
or deliver a prize).
Information Collected by Other Means or Media
In some situations, we may also collect personally identifiable information
and other information about you through other means, directly or indirectly.
For example, if you access any Giant RV content, or purchase such content via
your wireless carrier or through another third party, Giant RV may collect
information directly from you or through the third party. Likewise, if you
use our software, or provide information to other companies who share information
about their customers, we may collect additional information about you. In
each of these cases, Giant RV will apply this policy to any personally identifiable
information.

you regarding your account status, technical support, product information,
changes to account terms, and any other matter that might affect our service

applicable.
As stated in the Terms of Service, you will be deemed to have consented to
the disclosure to, and use by, a subsequent owner or operator of a Giant RV
Web site or Service, of any information about you contained in the applicable
Giant RV database, if Giant RV assigns its rights and obligations regarding
any of your information at the time of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all
or substantially all of Giant RV's assets related to the applicable site or
Service to a subsequent owner or operator. In the event of such a merger, acquisition,
or sale, your continued use of the site or any related Service signifies your
agreement to be bound by the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy of the site's
or Service's subsequent owner or operator.
Giant RV may work together in order to provide portions of the Giant RV site
and some Services (e.g., to fulfill prizes won in a sweepstakes, or to provide
other support for a Service). These companies will handle your personally identifiable
information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
As stated above, Giant RV may also work with third parties to provide some
Services on our sites. In connection with those Services, you are deemed to
consent to us sharing your information with third parties who provide services
such as processing of credit card transactions, customer service, promotion
administration, order fulfillment and/or prize delivery, as applicable. Third
parties who provide, or participate in, Services on Giant RV sites are prohibited
from using our customers' personally identifiable information for marketing
purposes and/or from sharing, selling, or otherwise using such information,
unless you choose to opt in to marketing, sharing, or other uses by the third
parties. If you do not want your information to be used for marketing or other
purposes unrelated to the provision of Giant RV, by a third party who participates
in a Service on one of our sites, do not opt in to such use by that third party
when you register to participate in the Service.
Please note that whenever you opt in to receive future communications from
a third party, your information will be subject to the third party's privacy
policy. If you later decide that you do not want that third party to use your
information, you will need to contact the third party directly, as we have
no control over how third parties use information. You should always review
the privacy policy of any party that collects your information to determine
how that entity will handle your information.
Giant RV will not share, sell, rent, or disclose any personally identifiable
information that we have collected except as stated herein, or in the following
instances: 1) we have been given your consent to disclose; 2) we have previously
informed you of the disclosure, including by means of our Privacy Policy or
on the Web site, or through the Service where you provided your information;
3) we are required by law, legal process, or court order to disclose; 4) disclosure
is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who
may cause or be causing harm to, or interference with, Giant RV’s rights
or property, other Giant RV Web site users, or anyone else; or 5) to respond
to an inquiry, request or complaint that you have made. Giant RV may also use
IP addresses in cooperation with Internet service providers to identify users
if we deem it necessary to comply with law, to enforce compliance with this
Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service, or to protect our sites, customers,
or others.
Our Commitment to Data Security
While Giant RV takes reasonable and appropriate precautions to protect your
personally identifiable information from unauthorized disclosure and to prevent
possible security breaches in our Web sites, Services, and customer databases,

access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur. Your use of
the Giant RV sites and Services is at your own risk. Giant RV urges you to
take steps to keep your information safe by memorizing your password or keeping
it in a safe place (separate from your account information), logging out of
your User Account, and closing your Web browser.
Whenever you give Giant RV sensitive or confidential information (for example,
credit card numbers for Purchases), Giant RV will take commercially reasonable
steps to protect the information by establishing a secure connection with your
Web browser. Unless otherwise specified herein or on the site where you make
a Purchase, credit card numbers are used only for payment processing and are
not retained for marketing purposes.

not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of non-Giant RV sites,
expressly disclaims any statements or assertions made on such Web sites, and
denies all liability associated with your use of, and the content on, such
