The UI is quite bizarre. The "not creepy" face changes based on scroll position, not what you point at. It's unclear which products it's even referring to.

I don't understand why they didn't display an ordinary table with checkboxes for each security feature.

Not only that, but several of the "Very Creepy" items have a star with a laurel wreath around it, like it's won some sort of award for being not creepy on the site. WTF?

That's exactly what it means. The award is Meets Our Minimum Security Standards: Encryption, Security updates, Strong password, Manages vulnerabilities, Privacy policy

Yeah, the UI isn't great. The fact the face got out of your way and animated made its changes non-obvious.
