Green Solution's Magazine Privacy Highlights

Our Privacy Committment

Protecting personal information online is one of Green Solutions Magazine core values. We're committed to respecting the privacy rights of our online visitors and recognize the importance of protecting all information that you may choose to share with us. To further this commitment, we have adopted this Online Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") to guide how we collect, store, and use the information you provide us.

Personal Information

We don't require personal information to access our website. However, if you prefer not to disclose personal information, you will not be able to enjoy certain features of our website. Personal information is information that identifies you and may be used to contact you. To offer our guests certain features on our website, we collect several types of personal information.

Information You Provide to Us

We collect personal information from adults who choose to register to our website. All of the personal information we receive comes directly from our guests. We collect personal information from our guests to:

1. register to receive Green Solutions Magazine newsletter
2. register to receive Publisher information
3. register to receive Retailer information
4. participate in polls, surveys, and questionnaires
5. apply for a job
6. submit general consumer inquiries or complaints to Green Solutions Magazine

Typically, this information may include any or all of the following:

1. name
2. email address
3. telephone number, and
4. mailing address.

Additionally, we may also collect other types of non-personal information (known as demographic information) such as your age or date of birth, gender, hobbies, platform preferences, and environmental preferences. This demographic information may be associated with your personal information.

Children

We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. We take kids privacy seriously, and encourage parents to play an active role in their children's online experience at all times.

Information Collected Through Technology

We collect information through technology to make our websites more interesting and useful to you. For example, when you come to one of our websites, we collect your IP address. An IP address is often associated with the portal through which you enter the Internet, like your ISP (Internet service provider), your company, or your university. Standing alone, your IP address is not personally identifiable. At times, we also use IP addresses to collect information regarding the frequency with which our guests visit various parts of our websites. We may combine this information with personally identifiable information.

Cookies

Our websites also use cookies. Cookies are pieces of information that a Website sends to your computer while you are viewing the Website. We and other companies use cookies for a variety of purposes. For example, when you return to one of our websites after logging in, cookies provide information to the website so that the website will remember who you are. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You can do this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to many features that make your web experience smoother, like the features mentioned above, and some of our services may not function properly.

Finally, once you've clicked on an advertisement and have left our Websites, our Privacy Policy no longer applies and you must read the privacy policy of the advertiser to see how your personal information will be handled on their website.

Uses

We don't share, sell, or rent your personal information to third parties without your consent. We don't require personal information to access our website. However, if you prefer not to disclose personal information, you will not be able to enjoy certain features of our website.

Whatever the purpose may be, we will only collect information to the extent reasonably necessary to fulfill your requests and our legitimate business objectives.

Green Solutions Magazine Tools and Updates

Information collected from those who voluntarily submit it to us is used to provide services like updates on special events, environmental news, and email announcements of interest to our users.

Operational Uses

We may also use your personal information for other purposes such as "Operational Uses." For example, we may use your information to send you administrative communications either about your account with us or about features of our websites.

We occasionally use other companies, agents or contractors to perform services necessary to our operations. For example, we have partnered with other companies to personalize our web pages, process credit card transactions, analyze customers' interaction with our website, and process consumer surveys. In the course of providing such services, these companies may have contact with your personally identifying information. These entities have agreed to securely store and maintain the personal information received from us.

Your Choices

As mentioned above, you have control over the personal information you submit to us. If at any time you decide to update or remove your personal information from our database, you may do so by visiting our newsletter subscription page.

Secure Information

The security and confidentiality of your information is extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access and improper use. From time to time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods. However, please understand that, despite our best efforts, no security measure is perfect or impenetrable.

You can access and update the contact information you gave us during registration (that is, your e-mail address or any other information that would directly enable us to contact you), by visiting our newsletter subscription page.
