General: As former military employees stationed overseas, we realize the unique security challenges that our OCONUS families face. The threat of terrorism is real to our overseas servicemembers and is foremost in our minds. Because of this, we limit the personal information that is collected on this site. Any personal information that is collected for our newsletter or various contests is strictly confidential and will not be given to any third party without your explicit consent. We do have several partners, including Interliner.com and the AFVClub that make special offers to our users through forms located on our site. Both the AFVClub and Interliner.com have privacy policies that we believe satisfy our requirements. All information we obtain for our Oconus-Deals newsletter is stored on a secured database server that is protected by a firewall and other security measures. We discourage the use of your full name on any of our message boards, including our free classified ads. You should be aware that no member of our staff will ever contact you to request detailed information about where you live (what town, street, etc...). Should you be contacted by an individual who asks for detailed personal information, you should immediately report it to your local military police.

Cookies: We do reserve the right to use cookies to make your web experience with us a more personalized and enjoyable one. Cookies are small text files that we use to store information about your preferences or to prevent our web server from showing you the same banner information again and again. In the future, we hope to allow you to filter content and special offers based on the country you are serving in and your favorite merchants. This would allow someone who lived in Germany to have a homepage that was Germany specific. Cookies are also used to ensure that you don't see the same banner advertisement multiple times during a visit to our site. The vast majority of our merchant partners also use cookies, and you should not feel at all threatened by them. If you have additional questions about cookies, please send us an email at info@oconus-shopper.com.

Use of Free Services: We do not use any free portal services such as Everywhere.net, which collect email addresses in return for content. Our site has been completely built by our development team and we do not use any third party components which require us to share information about our visitors.

Merchant Partners: We also screen our merchant partners for a reasonable privacy policy before we add them to our site. Those merchants who cannot guarantee the privacy of our visitors or who use tactics that are considered to be in poor taste will not be listed on our site. If you have a question or concern about one of our merchants, please contact us at info@oconus-shopper.com.
