Here's our privacy policy in plain, simple
English. We respect your privacy. We strongly dislike unsolicited
email. We think we need to ask your permission before we use any
information you give us for any other purpose than to improve the product, and
improve our service to you. This means we don't sell or rent your
information to any party.
1. What sort of information is requested from me on
this site?
If you elect to sign up for access
to our recipe archive, we need your email address. This is so we (or
other users) can contact you in the event that your posted recipes or comments
have problems.
If you purchase the product, or
provide additional optional information to us, we keep it private. You
can always
opt-in or opt-out of our newsletter
at any time.
2. What is done with my email address?
The email address that you give us will
be used to send you any newsletters that you signed up for.
3. What is done with the information collected by the
Message Board or the Recipe Archive?
We refer to it to improve the service
and product we deliver to you. Over time, we will be customizing BigOven
further to make it even more focused on your individual needs, and this
information may be used in that effort.
Statement of Copyright
BigOven's recipe software and unique method of retrieving, posting, rating and
sharing recipes is proprietary. The recipe archive at BigOven.com is a
mechanism for other users to share, discuss and swap recipes, in conjunction
with our proprietary, copyrighted software. Users are not permitted to
access our electronically hosted archive through any other means than via
BigOven for Windows or manually, via an internet browser without the expressed
written consent of Lakefront Software, Inc. The starting content resident
on it is a collection of recipes that have been posted or shared in public
newsgroups, forums or bulletin boards by a number of people from around the
world over many years, but it has gone through substantial editing by Lakefront
Software, Inc. and that editing and improvement process is ongoing.
Neither the edited and formatted content, nor the method to access it, search
and post recipes and user ratings have been placed in the public domain, and are
copyright Lakefront Software, Inc. The recipe archive allows other users
to swap and share recipes more easily; we do not claim copyright ownership of
the recipes themselves. Except as explicitly noted in each individual
recipe itself, the recipes are deemed purely instructional content and thus in
the public domain. Many of the recipes have been modified for
categorization, spelling and/or accuracy by BigOven editors, but we do not claim
copyright ownership on the content itself.
Are you the older of work you believe has been shared here improperly? We'd
be happy to quickly investigate and respond. Please visit our
copyright section for more information.
