Emails are sent only to customers who have chosen to receive them (opted-in). At any time, you may stop receiving these emails (opt out) if you desire.

In addition, we will keep track of past purchases you have made to provide you with a personalized profile of your shopping history. We may also ask you for feedback regarding our products and your shopping experience with evaluehouse.com in order for us to better fill your needs. However, all information not necessary to fulfill your order is optional.
