respect our customers’ right to privacy and need for secure communications.
Our Privacy Policy has been developed to provide you with an understanding of
how we will use any personally identifiable information which you provide to
us. Personally identifiable information is information that concerns you, individually,
and that would enable someone to contact you. Such personally identifiable information
is governed by our Privacy Policy and your use of this web site constitutes
your acceptance of our Privacy Policy and the practices it describes.
Please note that our Privacy Policy governs personally identifiable information

information.
What Personal Information About Customers Does StepStoneLLC.com Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually
improve your experience at StepStoneLLC.com. Here are the types of
information we gather:
Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information
you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not
to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage
of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such
purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you,
improving our online store, and communicating with you.
Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types
of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many web sites,
we use "cookies" and we obtain certain types of information when
your web browser accesses StepStoneLLC.com (which are explained below). There
are tools designed to help you visit web sites anonymously. Although we will
not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at StepStoneLLC.com
if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful
and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from
StepStoneLLC.com if your computer supports such capabilities.
Information from Other Sources: We might receive information
about you from other sources such as government census information and add
it to our account information. Any information gathered would be used for
the purpose of bettering communication to you.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information
Your personally identifiable information is used for our internal business purposes
only. StepStoneLLC.com does not sell, rent or lease your personal information to
independent third parties.
If you receive information
about our products from another company, StepStoneLLC.com has no control over the
use of their data. You will need to contact the company that delivered the email
to opt out of receiving ongoing emails.
Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information
We may use third party, unaffiliated companies to help us maintain and operate
our web site or for other reasons related to the operation of our business,
and those companies may receive your personally identifiable information for
that purpose. Should we be required to do so, we may also disclose personally
identifiable information about you in connection with a legal claim, governmental
request or investigation. Further, as our business develops, we may sell or
buy corporate assets, and in such transactions customer information may be shared
with third parties and become one of the transferred business assets.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric (letter and number) identifiers that we transfer
to your computer's hard drive through your web browser to enable our systems
to recognize your browser and to provide features that help your user experience.
The “Help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you
how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser
notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.
However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of StepStoneLLC.com’s
best features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
Optional Provisions
Changes to our Privacy Policy
As we strive to improve our products and services, we may revise our Privacy
Policy from time to time. We encourage you to periodically consult this Privacy
Policy. If there are updates, they will be posted to this Privacy page on our
web site along with the effective date of the revision. In the event of any
significant changes to our Privacy Policy, StepStoneLLC.com will notify affected
customers by e-mail.
