Privacy policy

1. Who we are and what this covers

1981 LLC (dba Stealth Seller) ("Stealth Seller", "we", "us") is a company incorporated in Delaware, United States. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you use our web app, our Chrome extension, and our website, register for one of our live classes, or join our affiliate program (together, "the Service"), what we do with it, who we give it to, and what you can tell us to do about it.

It applies to everyone who uses the Service. Sections 9.1 and 9.2 add rights that apply only if you live in a US state that grants them; section 9.3 covers people using the Service from outside the United States.

2. Information we collect

We collect the following categories of personal information. The category names in brackets are the ones used by the California Consumer Privacy Act, so you can match this list against the rights in section 9.1.

Account and contact information [identifiers]. Your name, email address, and password (stored only as a cryptographic hash). If you contact support, whatever you choose to put in that message.

Billing information [commercial information]. Your plan, billing period, subscription status, and payment history. Card details go straight to our payment processor and are never stored on our systems — we keep only the last four digits and the card brand so you can tell your payment methods apart.

How you use the Service [internet or other network activity]. The sellers you track, the searches you run, the listings you open, the folders you create, the calculations you run, and which features you use. This is the substance of the product, so we hold it in order to show it back to you.

Live class registrations [identifiers]. Your first name, email address, and mobile phone number when you register for a live class (a webinar). We use the phone number only to text you reminders about that class; see our SMS terms.

Affiliate information [identifiers, commercial information]. If you join the affiliate program: your name, email, the audience you describe in your application, your referral link activity, the commissions you earn, and the payout and tax details our affiliate platform collects to pay you.

Device and connection information [identifiers, internet activity]. IP address, browser and version, operating system, screen size, referring page, and timestamps. We derive an approximate location — country and region, not a precise position — from your IP address.

Marketing and attribution information [internet or other network activity]. How you reached us: the campaign parameters and ad click identifiers in the link you followed, the referring page, the page you landed on, the affiliate code if an affiliate sent you, and whether you went on to sign up. Advertising pixels on our website collect some of this directly; see section 7.

Cookies and similar technologies. See section 13 and our Cookie policy.

We do not ask for and do not want sensitive personal information as defined by California law: no government identifiers, no precise geolocation, no biometrics, no health, racial, religious, union, sexual-orientation, or genetic data. Please do not put any of it into a support ticket or a folder note.

3. Where the information comes from

Directly from you, when you register, subscribe, configure the Service, or contact us. Automatically from your device and browser, when you use the Service. From our payment processor, which tells us whether a charge succeeded and what it was for. From our affiliate platform, which tells us which affiliate referred a signup. And from advertising platforms, which report in aggregate how our ads performed.

We do not buy personal information from data brokers, and we do not enrich your account with information bought from anyone else.

4. What we use it for

• Running the Service: authenticating you, storing your trackers, folders, searches, and calculations, and showing you your own data
• Taking payment, managing your subscription, and sending receipts and billing notices
• Answering support requests
• Registering you for a live class you signed up for and sending you its reminders by email and text message
• Running the affiliate program: tracking referrals, calculating commissions, and paying them
• Measuring which ads, links, and affiliates bring visitors and customers, and showing our ads to people who have visited our website (see section 7)
• Understanding which features get used, so we know what to build and what to fix
• Detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, credential sharing, scraping, and security incidents
• Sending you product and marketing email, which you can stop at any time using the unsubscribe link in any such email or by emailing us. Service email — receipts, security alerts, billing failures, material changes to these terms — is not marketing and continues while your account is open.
• Meeting our legal, tax, and accounting obligations

AI search. When you use AI search, the text of your query and the product data needed to answer it are sent to a third-party AI model provider that processes them as our service provider, to return the answer to you.

We do not use your personal information to train machine-learning models that serve anyone other than you, our AI model providers may not use it to train theirs, and we do not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you by automated means alone.

5. The Chrome extension

The extension only runs on Amazon listing pages and the supported retailer sites where a stock check makes sense. On those pages it reads the product identifiers and pricing already displayed in order to fetch fees, profit, rank, and stock and show them back to you.

Specifically, the extension:

• does not read, collect, or transmit your browsing history on any other site
• does not read the content of pages outside the sites it supports
• does not record keystrokes, form contents, or credentials
• does not sell, rent, or share browsing activity with anyone

What it does send to us is the product identifier being looked at and the account token that says which subscription the lookup belongs to. That is what makes the lookup work and what counts it against your plan's quota.

Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

6. Who we share it with

We share personal information only in these situations:

• Service providers, in order for them to perform a service for us: cloud hosting and databases, payment processing, transactional and marketing email, text-message delivery, AI model providers (for AI search), live-class hosting (which receives your first name and email, never your phone number), affiliate tracking and payouts, error monitoring, product and website analytics, and the support helpdesk. Each is bound by contract to use the information only to provide that service to us and not for its own purposes. Under California law these are "service providers" or "contractors", not third parties buying data.
• Advertising platforms — Google and X — through the pixels on our website, as described in section 7.
• Professional advisors, such as lawyers and accountants, where they need it to advise us.
• Legal and safety: where we are required by subpoena, court order, or law, or where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to investigate fraud or abuse, enforce our terms, or protect the rights or safety of anyone.
• A successor, if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets. If that happens, the information moves under this policy, and we will say so on this page before anything changes about how it is handled.

We do not give your information to data brokers, and apart from the advertising pixels in section 7, we do not give it to anyone for their own marketing.

Mobile phone numbers. We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or your consent to receive text messages with any third party or affiliate for their marketing or promotional purposes. The only outside party that receives it is our text-message delivery provider, so that it can deliver the texts you signed up for.

7. Advertising, and your right to opt out

We do not sell personal information for money.

Our website does load advertising pixels from Google (Google Ads, through Google Tag Manager) and from X. When you visit, they tell those platforms that your browser came to our site and, where we report it, whether you went on to sign up, so that we can measure our ads and show them to people who have already visited. Each platform links that to the identifiers it holds for your browser or device.

California law calls this "sharing" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and other state laws call it "targeted advertising". In the twelve months before the date at the top of this page we have shared these categories, with these platforms, for this purpose: identifiers (cookie and device IDs, IP address) and internet or other network activity (pages visited on our website, the ad you clicked, and whether you signed up).

You can opt out, and opting out costs you nothing:

• Turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser. When our website receives the signal, it does not load the advertising pixels at all. Firefox, Brave, DuckDuckGo, and several extensions can send it.
• Email privacy@stealthseller.co with "Do not sell or share" in the subject, and we will opt out the account and email address you write from.
• Use the platforms' own controls: Google ad settings, X personalization settings, and the industry opt-outs at optout.networkadvertising.org and optout.aboutads.info.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16.

8. How long we keep it

While your account is open, we keep your account and product data so the Service can show it to you.

Live class registrations are deleted from our systems 21 days after you sign up; the live-class host keeps its own copy of your name and email under its own policy. Affiliate records are kept for as long as you are in the program and then for seven years, for the same tax reasons as billing records.

When you delete your account, we delete or irreversibly anonymize your personal information within 30 days, with two exceptions: billing and tax records, which we keep for seven years because federal and state tax law requires it, and security and abuse logs, which we keep for up to twelve months. Backups age out on their own rolling schedule, at most 35 days behind live data.

9. Your privacy rights

9.1 If you live in California

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, you have the right to:

• Know what personal information we have collected about you, where we got it, why we collected it, who we disclosed it to, and to get a copy of it in a portable format
• Delete the personal information we hold about you, subject to the exceptions the statute allows
• Correct personal information you believe is inaccurate
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information — we do not sell it; how to opt out of sharing is in section 7
• Limit our use of sensitive personal information — we do not collect any, so there is nothing to limit
• Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights. We will not deny you the Service, charge you a different price, or give you a worse experience because you asked.

You may use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf; we will ask for proof that you gave them permission and may ask you to confirm directly.

California's "Shine the Light" law (Civil Code §1798.83) lets residents ask which personal information we disclosed to third parties for their own direct marketing. We do not make such disclosures.

9.2 If you live in another US state with a privacy law

Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Minnesota, Maryland, Tennessee, Indiana, Kentucky, and Rhode Island each grant broadly similar rights: to confirm whether we process your personal data, to access and obtain a copy of it, to correct it, to delete it, and to opt out of targeted advertising, sale, and profiling with legal effects. We do not sell personal data or profile anyone for decisions with legal effects. Our advertising pixels are targeted advertising, and section 7 explains how to opt out of them.

If we deny your request, you may appeal that decision by replying to our response or writing to privacy@stealthseller.co with "Appeal" in the subject line. We will answer an appeal within 45 days and explain our reasoning. If we deny the appeal, we will tell you how to complain to your state Attorney General.

9.3 If you are outside the United States

We are a US company and your information is stored and processed in the United States, where privacy law differs from that of your own country. By using the Service you understand that this transfer takes place.

If you are in the UK, the European Economic Area, or Switzerland, we handle your information consistently with the GDPR: we process it to perform our contract with you, to pursue our legitimate interest in operating and securing the Service, to meet legal obligations, or with your consent where we ask for it. You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. You may also complain to your local supervisory authority.

9.4 How to make a request

Email privacy@stealthseller.co, or write to us at 4846 Via Fonti Ln Unit 8, Fontana, CA 92336. Access, correction, and deletion can also be done directly in your account settings, which is faster.

We verify requests by matching them against the email on the account, and for a request to know or delete we may ask you to confirm from that address or to re-authenticate. We answer within 45 days and will tell you if we need a further 45, which the statutes allow. There is no charge unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case we will tell you before doing anything.

10. Security

We encrypt data in transit with TLS and at rest, hash passwords rather than storing them, restrict internal access to the people whose job needs it, log administrative access, and require multi-factor authentication on the systems that hold customer data.

No system is perfectly secure and we do not claim otherwise. If a breach affects your personal information we will notify you and the relevant authorities within the deadlines the applicable state breach-notification law sets.

11. Children

The Service is for business use by adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13, which is the threshold set by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and our terms require every account holder to be at least 18. If you believe a child has given us personal information, email privacy@stealthseller.co and we will delete it.

12. Third-party sites

The Service links to Amazon, to retailer sites, and to other places we do not run. This policy does not cover them. What they do with your information is governed by their own policies, which are worth reading.

13. Cookies and similar technologies

We use:

• Strictly necessary cookies and storage, to keep you signed in, remember your theme, and protect against cross-site request forgery. The Service does not work without these, so they are not optional.
• Attribution and referral cookies, to remember which campaign, link, or affiliate brought you, so the signup can be credited.
• Analytics cookies, to count visits and feature usage in aggregate and find what is broken.
• Advertising pixels from Google and X, described in section 7. They are not loaded when your browser sends Global Privacy Control.
• Support cookies, so the support messenger can keep your conversation.

Each one, what it is for, and how long it lasts is listed in our Cookie policy. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings; blocking the strictly necessary ones will sign you out and break parts of the Service.

14. Changes to this policy

We will post any change on this page and move the "Last updated" date. If a change materially affects your rights or how we use your information, we will tell you by email or in the app at least 14 days before it takes effect, and where the law requires your consent we will ask for it rather than assume it.
