This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes the types of information, including Personal Information (defined below), that we gather from you when you use the Service, as well as your choices regarding use and disclosure of your Personal Information.
By accessing the Service, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use our Service.
We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by revising the “Effective Date” at the top of this Privacy Policy. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy or the way we use, share or collect Personal Information, we will post an announcement of the changes on our Service, prior to the new policy taking effect. In all cases, your continued use of our Service or our products and services constitute consideration and your binding acceptance to any such changes. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure that you are familiar with our current practices.
We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or device (“Personal Information”). This includes Personal Information collected from the use of our Service or other means, such as documents or other materials or information that you may provide to us. As to the Service, it collects information (i) that users knowingly and voluntarily provide (such as through forms or profile screens) including account registration information, and (ii) that we can collect from users’ web browsers, cookies and other similar technologies.
We may aggregate and/or anonymize all information that we collect from you, including Personal Information, for the purpose of market research on brands and products, marketing campaigns, and advertising.
We collect information that you knowingly and voluntarily provide when you use our Service (such as through web forms or profile screens), including registration/account setup information, profile details, and payment information. Personal Information includes basic information we collect when you apply for membership such as your name, your company’s name, contact information and type of business you are in. We primarily use this information to fulfill your transaction requests. You can choose not to provide us with certain Personal Information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of the Service or other available features we offer.
We keep track of your participation in our member services so we can understand our members’ interests and evaluate the effectiveness of our offerings. We also collect generic demographic information from other sources to help us better serve our members and to improve our programs, activities and resources. We also collect information online in additional ways that are described below.
We may also collect and store Personal Information about other people that you provide to us, as well as information about you provided by others. If you or other users use our Service to upload, share and/or distribute content (including comments, videos, images, or other submissions), and such content contains Personal Information about you or others, such information may be stored in order to allow for such uploading, sharing and/or distribution. As a requirement to use our Service, you acknowledge that you have the appropriate consent(s) from any individual (or the parent of any child under the age of 13) to share their Personal Information with us.
We collect standard information about Service users such as IP addresses, browser type, operating system, what you searched for, the dates and times of visits, and other Service usage behavior (“Service Visitation Data”). Service Visitation Data is used to administer the Service and provide general statistics regarding the use of the Service. We may also use Service Visitation Data to display advertising or send targeted email marketing that you may find interesting and to suppress advertising that might not interest you.
Cookies
We may also collect other types of information that do not allow us to identify your name, email address or other personal characteristics. This “non-personal information” includes the number assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet (“IP address”) and the type of browser you use. None of this non-personal information allows us to identify or contact you. We use this information to help us evaluate how our site is being used. We may also assign a “cookie” to your computer in some situations. Like an IP address, a “cookie” is a kind of online identification tag that allows us to recognize your computer each time you visit our site. We may also use Web beacons in conjunction with cookies to help us monitor the activity on our website. A Web beacon is an image file contained in an advertisement or other content that indicates when the ad or the content has loaded on to a user’s screen. We refer to cookies and Web beacons together here as “cookies.”
We may work with advertising partners to place advertising on our Service. Such third-party advertising partners often use a cookie or third-party web beacon to track when a click becomes a sale, connection to the advertiser’s services or expression of interest. No Personal Information is ever sent to these advertising partners.
Our primary purpose in collecting electronic information is to provide you with access to the products and services you request, and to evaluate and improve other services that we offer. We ask for information so that we can process your membership application and provide you with special offers for Small Trades Evolution members. We may use this information to service your membership account, send you publications, and answer any questions you may have about our membership offerings. On occasion, we will also use your membership information to send you notices in the mail or by email about special member benefits, discounts and offers.

We may also use online Personal Information we collect about you on its own or combine it with other information we have about you to:
We share your personal information with companies we have partnered with to provide our members various products and services or support our operations. Some of these providers of products and services, including many of those listed on the Stevosol.com website, may pay a fee for access to our membership list. Our contracts with these companies require them to keep the member information confidential and allow them to use the information only to offer the contracted products or services to our members. Some of our service providers may also collect data about our members through their interactions with our members. The providers may share some or all this data with us so that we may offer more effective and personalized service to our members.
We also have relationships with certain companies that we have selected and approved to offer our member benefit products and services on linked sites. On some of these sites, you may be asked to enter personal information in order to take advantage of their services or programs. If you decide to purchase products or services on one or more of these linked websites, you may be asked for your name, member number, company name and address, email address and credit card information to enable the provider to contact you about your purchase transaction. The contracted member benefit providers of these linked sites may have their own privacy policies that apply to the information you have given them, and you should review these policies. Other Small Trades Evolution affiliates may also have access to member information that we have acquired.
