Information Sharing
Service Providers
We share your information with third-party service providers who help us operate our business, and only as far as each needs to do its job: Stripe (payment processing), UPS and the United States Postal Service (shipping and delivery tracking), Resend (sending our email), Clerk (account sign-in and credentials), Supabase and Vercel (database and website hosting), PostHog (website analytics), Sentry (error monitoring), and Google (advertising measurement and product listings).
Google Customer Reviews
If you opt in at checkout, we pass your email address, order number, and expected delivery date to Google so that Google can email you a review survey after your order arrives. This happens only if you choose it, and you can decline without affecting your order.
Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information when required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or safety.
We Never Sell Your Data
US Elite Inc. does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
Data Security
All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS/SSL (HTTPS).
Payment information is processed directly by Stripe and never stored on our servers.
Account sign-in and passwords are handled by Clerk, a specialist authentication provider. We do not hold your password.
We implement rate limiting, CSRF protection, and security headers to prevent common web attacks.
Access to customer data is restricted to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis.
We regularly review and update our security practices to address emerging threats.
Cookies & Tracking
Essential Cookies
Required for the website to function properly — authentication, shopping cart, and session management. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics
We use PostHog to understand how visitors use our website — pages viewed, and actions such as adding an item to the cart. If you are signed in, this activity is linked to your account; if you are not, it is held against an anonymous identifier only. We do not record your screen or keystrokes, and session recording is switched off.
Advertising
We use Google Ads conversion tracking to see which adverts lead to orders. Google may set cookies on your device for this purpose and may link them to your Google account if you have one.
Email Tracking
Our emails contain a small invisible image and redirected links, which tell us whether a message was opened and which links were clicked. We use this to tell whether our emails are reaching you and to stop sending to addresses that never receive them. Blocking images in your email program prevents open tracking.
Your Choices
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.
Your Rights
Access — Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correction — Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Deletion — Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention requirements.
Opt-Out — Unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in any email.
Data Portability — Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@useliteinc.com.
Children's Privacy
Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. We will notify you of significant changes by posting a notice on our website or sending you an email. Your continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
