The information that is received and collected depends upon what you do when you

- Automatically Collected Information. Some information is automatically received
and collected from you when you visit the stcusa.com Web site. This type of information

Use Of Personal Information
STC will use your personally identifiable information to fulfill your order for
products and services, to respond to your inquiries and to send you information
about STC’s other products and services which it believes may be of interest to
you and to send you other marketing or promotional updates and information. You
can opt out of receiving marketing and promotional materials from STC by either
e-mailing STC at optout@stcusa.com or by
calling an STC customer service representative at 1-800-782-1223 between the hours
of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) and in either case, providing the relevant information
and stating that you are no longer interested in receiving further marketing or
promotional materials from STC. In addition, STC may track the automatically collected
information that it receives and collects and use that information to enhance the
stcusa.com Web site based upon customer demand, usage and other statistical factors.
Sharing Personal Information
STC may have engaged third parties to work with it, or on its behalf, to provide
services such as fulfilling orders, processing payments, monitoring site activities
and the like. Your personally identifiable information will be disclosed to those
third parties to the extent necessary for the purposes of performing the specific
services for which those third parties were engaged by STC. STC will disclose personally
identifiable information when it has reason to believe that your actions violate
any applicable laws or any usage restrictions for the products or services purchased
from STC. In addition, STC will disclose such information in connection with legal
action or if STC reasonably believes that such disclosure is necessary to protect
the rights, property, or safety of STC, its customers or the users of any STC controlled
Web site. STC will disclose personally identifiable information in response to a
court order, subpoena, law enforcement agency inquiry, other legal process or when
required to do so by law. STC will not sell or intentionally disclose your personally
identifiable information to third parties for use in external marketing, promotional
or advertising purposes without your consent.
Security
STC uses industry standard e-commerce security technology to protect personal customer
information. When credit card information is transmitted, STC uses industry standard
SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. However, while STC takes your privacy seriously,
STC cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit
to or through the stcusa.com Web site and you do so at your own risk. If at any
time, you would like to make a purchase but do not want to provide your credit card
information online, you may contact an STC sales representative via telephone. Simply
call (800) 782-1223 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) and a
sales representative will be available to assist you.
