Privacy Policy:

 

Of course Enemy of the [SURVEILLANCE] State (EOTSS) has a Privacy Policy, as all sites should. The issue is that EOTSS is a small (read: one-man-operation) business and therefore relies on a third-party website hosting company for the purpose of even having a web site. EOTSS chose Wix as a place to build and maintain this site. So, while EOTSS does not gather any information except that which you provide directly to the site, other information may be (and almost certainly is) collected by Wix.

 

The following Privacy Policy is an honest attempt by EOTSS to disclose what type of information about you may be collected when you visit this site. As the name implies (and the content of the site demonstrates), EOTSS deeply abhors all types of digital surveillance, so the recommendation is that you only visit this site using a trusted VPN (see the SOLUTIONS page for suggestions on which VPNs to use and which to avoid). It is also recommended that you opt out of ALL cookies.

 

Now, on to the nuts and bolts of our Privacy Policy:

 

• What type of personal information is collected?

 

We receive, collect and store any information you enter on our website or provide us in any other way. In addition, we collect the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; login; e-mail address; password; computer and connection information and purchase history. We may use software tools to measure and collect session information, including page response times, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information, and methods used to browse away from the page. We also collect personally identifiable information (including name, email, password, communications); payment details (including credit card information), comments, feedback, product reviews, recommendations, and personal profile.

 

• How is personal information collected?

 

When you conduct a transaction on our website, as part of the process, we collect personal information you give us such as your name, address and email address. Your personal information will be used for the specific reasons stated above only.

 

• Why is personal information collected?

 

We collect such Non-personal and Personal Information for the following purposes:

 

1. To provide and operate the Services;

2. To provide our Users with ongoing customer assistance and technical support;

3. To be able to contact our Visitors and Users with general or personalized service-related notices and promotional messages;

4. To create aggregated statistical data and other aggregated and/or inferred Non-personal Information, which we or our business partners may use to provide and improve our respective services;

5. To comply with any applicable laws and regulations.

 

• How is personal information used, stored, shared, and disclosed?

 

This site is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides us with the online platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall.

 

All direct payment gateways offered by Wix.com and used by our company adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

 

• What about cookies and other tracking tools?

 

EOTSS does not employ ANY cookies or tracking tools, but — as explained above — Wix is another matter. The following is from the Wix page EOTSS used as a guideline for creating this Privacy Policy. It is copied verbatim:

 

If your website tracks personal information through the use of cookies, for example, you must make this clear to your site visitors. Be clear about what tracking tools (e.g. cookies, flash cookies, web beacons, etc.,) your website employs, what personal information they gather and why they are being used.

 

It's important to note that third-party services, such as Google Analytics or other applications offered through the Wix App Market, placing cookies or utilizing other tracking technologies through Wix´s services, may have their own policies regarding how they collect and store information. As these are external services, such practices are not covered by the Wix Privacy Policy.

• Privacy policy updates:

 

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated, so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.
