Who we are
This Privacy Policy describes in more detail how Each Green Corner (“EGC”) may collect and use your personal information, and the choices you have concerning our use of such information.
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSESING OR USING THE WEBSITE AT https://www.eachgreencorner.org (the “Site”) OR OUR SERVICES (the “Services”), OR BY SUBMITTING ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIALS TO OR THROUGH THE SITE OR OUR SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THE COLLECTION AND USE OF SUCH INFORMATION OR MATERIALS BY EGC AND OTHERS AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, OR TO THE COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION OR MATERIALS FROM YOU BY EGC, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE OR OUR SERVICES.
Voluntary Disclosure of Personal Data
Personal information is data that can be used to identify or contact a single person.
The Site and our Services allow you to fill out forms for the purpose of learning more about EGC and the services we provide, applying to volunteer, using our Services, making a donation, or making general inquiries. You can always elect not to fill out these forms. By filling out these forms, however, you agree to send to us all of the information you input into those forms, including personal information in some cases. These forms may prompt you to fill in your:
- First and Last Name;
- Email address;
- Telephone number;
- Title;
- Company;
- Reason for contacting us; and
- Payment information.
EGC may associate the data you voluntarily disclose to us with the data we collect when you visit the Site or use our Services, as well as with data obtained from outside sources. By voluntarily disclosing such information to us, you expressly permit this use of your personal information by EGC. You also should be aware that if you include information such as your name in a comment on the Site, such information becomes public information, meaning that you lose any privacy rights you might have with regard to that information. Such disclosures also may increase your chances of receiving unwanted communications from third parties.
For users outside the United States, please note that any information you enter into the Site or our Services will be transferred out of your country and into the United States. You consent to such transfer through your use of the Site or our Services. You also warrant that you have the right to transfer such information outside your country and into the United States.
The Site and our Services also link to EGC’s pages on various social networking sites, such Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. If you become a fan, follow us, or otherwise interact with EGC on these social networking sites, then we may be able to personally identify you because we may be able to see whatever information you make publicly available about yourself on that social networking site. By doing so, you expressly permit this use of your personal information by EGC.
Use and Sharing of Personal Information
EGC and its affiliates may use the personal information you submit, consistent with this Privacy Policy. Our uses may include in order:
- To fulfill your requests to access, participate in and/or use our Services, and to provide you with the services you request from us, including by others involved in such provision of services.
- To contact you for customer satisfaction surveys, Service-related research or in connection with certain transactions.
- To provide you with notices such as communications about Services and changes to our terms, conditions and policies.
- To communicate with you—via telephone, email, SMS or other means—as may be required in the context of our business relationship related to your access, purchase or use of our Services or related services.
- For marketing and/or fundraising purposes.
- For internal purposes such as auditing, analysis (e.g., clickstream data) to improve our Site or Services or our advertising.
- To develop our business relationship, if you represent an EGC Business Partner or Vendor.
EGC does not sell or rent any of the personal data we collect or maintain. EGC does not maintain or use any payment information beyond the immediate need to process a transaction.
In the course of meeting our customers’ needs and in improving our products and services, we may share certain data, including personal information, with service providers, partner organizations, vendors, marketing agencies and services, data management and analytics services, affiliates, and contract workers. If you tell us that you do not want your personal information used for further marketing contact, please contact us at admin@eachgreencorner.org and we will respect your wishes.
Additionally, we may store certain data, including personal information, on servers located at third-party data centers. In addition, we may obtain data, including personal information, from outside sources.
EGC takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of the data we collect and maintain.
Other than as described above, EGC discloses your personal information only when permitted to do so by law, or when EGC believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property, rights or safety of EGC, third parties or the public at large. This may include providing or using personal information to comply with any valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order or to assist in any legal investigation or other proceeding when we deem necessary or appropriate.
Information We May Collect When You Visit the Site
We also may use, collect, track, and store certain data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. This data may be collected when you visit the Site or use our Products, including:
- Your IP address;
- The website that referred you to the Site;
- The search terms you used to find the Site;
- Your device information, such as operating system, browser type, and device type, used to access the Site;
- Session information, including how you use the Site; and
- Cookies and other technologies, such as pixel tags.
We might use this non-personal information, for example, to better understand customer behavior, to improve our products, services and advertising, or to provide our customers with more useful information about our Site or Services.
We might aggregate the information we collect in order to make use of it; aggregated data is considered non-personal information for purposes of this Privacy Policy. If we combine non-personal information with personal information, the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Security
EGC takes very seriously the security of the information we collect and maintain. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosures, we utilize physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect all of the information we collect and maintain, including any personal information you voluntarily provide. Please be aware that, although we endeavor to provide appropriate security for the information we collect and maintain, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches.
Children
We do not intend to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13. The use of this Site is conditioned, in part, on a certification that the user is at least 13 years of age. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with information without their consent, he or she should contact us at admin@eachgreencorner.org. We will delete such data from our files upon request.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Choice and Op-Out
EGC strives to only send permission-based email for any marketing and/or fundraising purposes. In addition, users always have the opportunity to opt-out or change preferences via a link in the footer of all non-transactional email messages. These options are made available when you sign-up for our email lists and in email messages delivered from our company. Alternatively, you may email us at admin@eachgreencorner.org. If you believe that you have received an unsolicited commercial email from EGC, please report it to us at admin@eachgreencorner.org.
Some communications (e.g. important account notifications and billing information) are considered transactional and are necessary for all customers of our Services. Customers may not opt out of these communications.
Links to Third Party Sites
This Privacy Policy only applies to information collected by EGC. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies or other parties that ETC does not own or control, or their employees that EGC does not manage. The Site and our Services pages may contain links to third party websites. Any information you provide to, or that is collected by, third-party sites may be subject to the privacy policies of those sites, if any. We encourage you to read such privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. It is the sole responsibility of such third parties to adhere to any applicable restrictions on the disclosure of your personal information, and by using the Site or our Services you agree that EGC and its affiliates shall not be liable for the wrongful use or disclosure of your personal information by any third party.
Updates to Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, and in our sole discretion. When we do so, you will see the changes on this page, and we will update the effective date of the Privacy Policy on this page. In all cases, EGC’s use of the information we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.
