Green Globe Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 24, 2018

This Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected, used and disclosed by Green Globe. This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you use our websites, mobile sites, mobile applications and other online services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Sites”) or when you otherwise interact with us.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you an email notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Sites to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

Information You Provide to Us:

We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you fill out a form, send us an email, sign up to receive email updates, participate in a contest or promotion, make a purchase, communicate with us via third party social media sites, request information, or otherwise communicate with us. The types of information we may collect include your name, email address, postal address, phone number, mobile number, credit card information and other contact or identifying information you choose to provide.

Information We Collect Automatically When You Use the Sites:
We do not collect any data from you while visiting our websites or applications.

Information We Collect From Other Sources:

We may also obtain information from other sources and combine that with information we collect through our Sites. For example, if you create or log into your account through a social media site, we will have access to certain information from that site, such as your name, account information and friends lists, in accordance with the authorisation procedures determined by such social media site. We may also use such information for list matching purposes.

Use of Information:

We may use information about you for various purposes, including to:

Provide, maintain and improve our Sites;

Provide and deliver the information you request, process contributions and transactions and send you related information, including confirmations and invoices;

Send you confirmations, technical notices, updates, security alerts and support and administrative messages;

Request feedback and to otherwise contact you about your use of the Sites;

Respond to your comments, questions and requests and provide customer service;

Send you newsletters and otherwise provide you with information or services you request or that we think will be of interest to you, such as sending you information to keep you informed about various issues, events, resources, promotions, contests, products and services;

Monitor and analyse trends, usage and activities in connection with our Sites; and

Carry out any other purpose for which the information was collected.

Green Globe is based in the United States and the information we collect is governed by U.S. law. By accessing or using the Sites or otherwise providing information to us, you consent to the processing and transfer of information in and to the U.S. and other countries.

Sharing of Information:

We may share information about you as follows or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy:

With vendors, consultants and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf;

In response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with any applicable law, regulation or legal process, or as otherwise required by any applicable law, rule or regulation;

If we believe your actions are inconsistent with the spirit or language of our user agreements or policies, or to protect the rights, property and safety of Green Globe, its employees or others;

In connection with, or during negotiations of, any reorganisation, formation of new organisation, asset sale or transfer, financing or lending transaction or in any other situation where personal information may be disclosed or transferred as one of the assets of the Organisation; and

With your consent or at your direction, including if we notify you through our Sites that the information you provide will be shared in a particular manner and you provide such information.

We may also share aggregated or anonymised information that does not directly identify you.

Social Sharing Features:

The Sites may offer social sharing features and other integrated tools (such as the Facebook “Like” button), which let you share actions you take on our Sites with other media, and vice versa. The use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the entity that provides the social sharing feature. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the entities that provide these features.
