We take your privacy concerns seriously. GreenDare.com is firmly
committed to protecting your privacy. The following statement explains
our policy in regard to the use of any personal information you may provide
us.
By using GreenDare.com and providing us with your personal information,
you are accepting the privacy practices described in this policy statement.
We may update this Privacy Policy on occasion. We reserve the right to
change or modify this policy at any time. Please check back
occasionally to find the latest version posted here.
We never sell, rent, or distribute your personal information to any
company under any circumstances. We do not share your email address
with other parties - we absolutely hate spam as much as you!
If you choose to purchase a product, we collect your name, email address,
and shipping address. We collect this information in order to properly
process your purchase.
If you choose to contact us and provide personal information about
yourself, we will use this information only to respond to your
inquiry (e.g. if we need to send you products, we will obviously disclose
your name and mailing address to the Post Office). We will absolutely
not sell or rent personal information to third parties.
Each time you request a page during a visit to GreenDare.com, our servers
may collect certain technical information from your computer. This
information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, your computer's
browser type, operating system and the address of a referring website, if
any. We collect this information to enhance your experience during
your visit to our site and will not sell or rent this information to any
third parties. We use this information to analyze general traffic
patterns (e.g. what pages are most/least popular, where are most referrals
originating, etc.).
GreenDare.com contains links to other websites. We are not responsible
for the content or privacy practices of such websites. Please review
the privacy policies of linked websites before you disclose personal
information.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998 provides
safeguards to protect children by regulating the online collection of
personal information from children who use the Internet under the age of 13.
GreenDare.com is a website intended for the general public. We do
not intentionally collect personal information from children under 13.
GreenDare.com does not sell products for purchase by children. We sell
eco-friendly conservation products for purchase by adults only.
If you are under 13, you may use GreenDare.com only with the participation of a
parent or guardian.
Advise your children: "Never talk to strangers!"
Please teach children that they should not reveal personal information
(e.g. their name, passwords, street address, etc.) to anyone they encounter
on the Internet. They should also be instructed not to register at any
website or fill out any forms without parental consent and knowledge.
Parents can also limit or prevent a child's access to inappropriate material
on the Web by using commercially available parental control protections
(such as filtering services or computer software). A good online
resource for parents can be located at
www.getnetwise.org.
The security of your personal information is really important to us.
For secure e-commerce transactions, all credit card information submissions
use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology, the most extensively
used data encryption coding system. GreenDare.com utilizes a
third-party payment service called PayPal because they use 128-bit SSL
encryption and they do not reveal customers’ credit card numbers or
bank account numbers to merchants. All of your information is encrypted
(scrambled) prior to being sent over the Internet to PayPal’s web server.
To verify that your connection is secure, look for a locked padlock icon or
solid key icon at the top or bottom of your browser window. You are
also using a secure browser when the letters "https" (rather than "http")
are located in the URL address window at the top of your browser.
PayPal has acquired a digital certificate from Verisign, Inc., a leading
provider of Internet trust services. When you enter a secure portion
of the GreenDare.com website (PayPal’s shopping cart), an image of a closed
lock or a solid key will appear in the top or bottom bar of your browser
window. Clicking on this lock or key will activate a small popup
window to display site-security information. This certificate guarantees
that your personal information is being transmitted in secure (encrypted)
form to a PayPal web server, not to some unauthorized or unknown server.
Once GreenDare.com receives your shipping and email address information, it is
protected by placing it on a system behind a secure firewall.
GreenDare.com does not use "cookies." Our payment service, PayPal,
uses "cookies" to allow the use of online payments. PayPal is a
certified participant of the BBBOnLine® Privacy Program
and a licensee of the TRUSTe Privacy Program. To review
PayPal’s privacy policy, please visit their website,
PayPal Privacy Policy.
A "cookie" is a small text file that a website can place on your
computer's hard drive to allow, for example, the use of an online shopping
cart to track items you wish to purchase or the collection of information
about your activities on the site. The "cookie" transmits this
information back to the website's computer, which basically is the only
computer that can interpret it. When consumers visit web pages, most
do not know that "cookies" are being placed on their computers. To
prevent "cookies" from occurring or if you want to know when "cookies" are
implemented, you can set your browser to warn you when a website attempts to
place a "cookie" on your computer.
Please check third-party website privacy policies before you disclose personal information to them. This site uses a third-party payment service called PayPal. For information about PayPal’s Privacy Policy, please visit their website, PayPal Privacy Policy.
