Superiortechnologygroup.net (the “Website,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) values your privacy and treats it with utmost seriousness. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy policy. Your visit to this website implies your consent to the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

  • What This Privacy Policy Covers:
    • This policy encompasses the treatment of personal information collected and received by the website. This includes data related to your previous usage of our products and services. Personal information refers to data that can identify you, such as your name, address, email address, IP address, or phone number, which is not publicly available.
    • This policy does not extend to the practices of companies not under our ownership or control, or to individuals we do not employ or manage.

Do Not Track Browser Settings

  • Take into consideration that advertisers may gather information about your online browsing behavior to present you with targeted ads, also referred to as “behavioral advertising.” To opt-out of receiving such targeted ads, you have the opportunity to submit opt-out requests to the relevant service providers. However, please be aware that opting out will only prevent targeted ads, and you may still encounter generic (non-targeted) ads from these companies. If you wish to opt-out of behaviorally targeted ads, you can do so at any time by clearing your browser’s cookies.

Cookies

  • We utilize cookies to set and access information on your computer, assisting us in Web Site and Systems Administration.
  • Cookies, alphanumeric identifiers transferred through your Web browser to your computer’s hard drive, allow our systems to recognize your browser and provide features like storing items in your Shopping Cart between visits.

Information Collection and Use General

  • The website is responsible for collecting personal information when you register with us.
  • During the registration process, we request specific details, including your name, address, phone number, email address, and zip code. Once the registration is complete and you access our services, you are no longer anonymous to us.
  • We gather information about your transactions with us, which encompasses your usage of the financial products and services we offer.
  • Automatically, the website receives and records information from your browser via our server logs. This information includes your IP address, cookie data, and the pages you request.
  • The collected information serves several general purposes, including fulfilling your requests for products and services, improving our services, contacting you, and conducting research.
  • We hold the right to send you specific communications regarding our services, such as service announcements, administrative messages, special offers, and a website Newsletter.
  • We may share your personal information with regulatory bodies, as required by the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Nevertheless, we assure you that we will never sell or rent your email address or other personally identifying information to third-party commercial entities or affiliate marketers. Your personal information may be used to communicate with you about offers from the website, and you may receive certain communications related to our services, such as service announcements, administrative messages, special offers, and a Newsletter.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

  • Information You Give Us: By providing information on our website or through other means, you enable us to receive and store it. While certain details can be omitted at your discretion, please note that this may restrict your access to many of our features. The information you share is used for purposes such as addressing your requests, personalizing your future shopping experiences, improving our stores, and staying in communication with you.
  • Automatic Information: When you interact with us, specific types of information are automatically received and stored. As with numerous other websites, we utilize “cookies,” and certain information is acquired when your Web browser accesses this site.
  • Agents: To carry out various functions, we engage other companies and individuals on our behalf. These functions include order fulfillment, package delivery, sending postal mail and email, data analysis, marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. Although they have access to the personal information necessary for their tasks, they may not utilize it for other purposes.
  • Legal Obligations: We respond to subpoenas, court orders, legal processes, and situations to establish, exercise, or defend our legal rights or against legal claims.
  • Investigation and Prevention: We believe in the necessity of sharing information to investigate, prevent, or take action against illegal activities, suspected fraud, violations of our terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.

Confidentiality and Security

  • To provide you with products or services or to perform their job responsibilities, we limit access to personal information about you to employees who, in our judgment, have a legitimate need for such access.
  • Our physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards are designed to comply with federal regulations and ensure the security of your personal information.

GDPR and CASL Compliance

  • Unfortunately, we are unable to accept registrants who are not U.S. Citizens. The CASL and GDPR regulations grant certain rights to their citizens that differ from those in the United States. As a result, we do not accept registrations from any citizen outside the United States. Our services are exclusively tailored for United States citizens. To the best of our knowledge, we have removed all data related to European Union Member and Canadian Citizens.
