Furthermore, your information is encrypted and is protected utilizing the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption software. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Firefox, Google Chrome or Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just surfing.

Only those of our employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our account or customer service representatives) are granted access to personally identifiable information.

For instance, by setting a cookie on our Site, we can provide you with storage of items in your shopping cart between visits. However, if a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our Site although we will be unable to provide our users with the personalized shopping experience we can offer using the cookie data.

Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary, and the users of the Site have a choice whether to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as your name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level, etc.). We use such information to notify contest winners, award prizes, and for analyzing the Site traffic to improve the users experience on the Site.

CHILDREN ON-LINE PRIVACY

StealthEnomics™ recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of children. Consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we will not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.

SPECIAL OFFERS, ACCOUNT UPDATES AND OPTING OUT

StealthEnomics™ occasionally sends our customers and the users of the Site announcements and updates, which contain important information about the Site and service offerings which we believe to be of value to our customers and users. To do this, we may enhance or merge the information we collect on the Site with data from third parties for purposes of marketing products or services to our customers and users.

We may communicate with the users of the Site via e-mail, telephone, mail, or fax to provide requested services, content, product information, notification of special offers, or regarding customer service issues relating to an account. The users of the Site are always given the opportunity to opt-out of having their online information used for purposes not directly related to the Site at the point at which we ask for the information or when they receive an online requested promotional communication.

For example, our e-mail messages have an “unsubscribe” feature for users of the Site who buy from us, but do not want to be notified about special offers in the future. Users can simply “Reply” back to the e-mail message and type “unsubscribe” in the subject field. Upon receipt of the reply, we will remove that e-mail address from our e-mail list. If a user has more than one e- mail address, he or she should include the other addresses as well to ensure proper updating of their account information.

If you do not wish to have your postal mail information, phone number or ordering information shared with third-party organizations, users can opt out by:

Telephone at (704) 565-9798;
