Privacy Policy

Date Last Revised: March 10, 20011

GreenMadeSimple.com is committed to the confidentiality, integrity and security of any personal information provided by our users. We constantly re-evaluate our privacy and security policies and adapt them as necessary to deal with new challenges.

1. Your Privacy is not for sale

We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone. Your data is yours and only you (through your Registration Information) have access to your data on the Service.

We use a combination of firewall barriers, encryption techniques and authentication procedures, among others, to maintain the security of your online session and to protect GreenMadeSimple.com accounts and systems from unauthorized access.

2. We limit use of personal information

Certain areas and features of GreenMadeSimple.com are available to you without registration or the need to provide to us any information. However, in order to benefit from the full functionality of the Service, you need to provide your zip code and to register as a member and in so doing, to provide a Login ID in the form of a UserName, an email address, a password and your zip code (collectively the “Registration Information”). You are free to choose a Login ID and password that keeps your personal identity anonymous.

Access to your Registration Information and your personal data is strictly restricted to GreenMadeSimple.com employees and contractors, as needed, in order to operate, develop or improve the Service. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations.

Personally identifiable information generally includes information that could be used to determine your identity, such as your name, phone number, e-mail address (if it contains some part of your name) gender, birth date, occupation, personal interests and other demographic information. With the exception of an email address as part of the Registration Information, which may be provided on an anonymous basis, and your Third Party Account Information, which is entered one time by you and is not stored by GreenMadeSimple.com, GreenMadeSimple.com does not require any information from you that might constitute personally identifiable information.

GreenMadeSimple.com requires an email address from you in the following circumstances:

  • Registration for the Service;
  • Registration for any GreenMadeSimple.com Newsletter;
  • The use of any service on GreenMadeSimple.com in which you choose to identify yourself
  • To respond to any correspondence, such as emails or letters, from you.

3. Your Registration Information is kept private

GreenMadeSimple.com uses your Registration Information only as follows:

  • to analyze site usage and improve the Service;
  • to deliver any administrative notices and communications relevant to your use of the Service;
  • to fulfill your requests for newsletters, certain products and services;
  • for market research, project planning, troubleshooting problems, detecting and protecting against error, fraud or other criminal activity;
  • as otherwise set forth in this Privacy and Security Policy.

We only use your zip code to improve your experience. This allows the Service to provide you with accurate information on the incentives available in your geographic area and to identify merchants appropriate to your needs both nationally and locally.

4. Changes to your Registration Information

If your registration information changes during your subscription to GreenMadeSimple.com, you may update the email address and zip code by sending us an email and providing us with your new information. You may also use the same email address to notify us if you want us to terminate your account.

GreenMadeSimple.com uses your Account Information as follows:

  • to offer the Service to you;
  • to deliver information relevant to your financial interests, such as savings offers from third party product and service providers (“GreenMadeSimple.com Offers”)
  • to deliver administrative notices such as alerts and communications relevant to your use of the Service;
  • for market research, project planning, troubleshooting problems, detecting and protecting against error, fraud or other criminal activity; and
  • as otherwise set forth in this Privacy and Security Policy.

5. Online session information is only used to improve your experience

When you visit GreenMadeSimple.com, we may collect technical and navigational information, such as computer browser type, Internet protocol address, pages visited, and average time spent on our Web site. This information may be used, for example, to alert you to software compatibility issues, or it may be analyzed to improve our Web design and functionality.

We may use third party service providers to help us analyze certain online activities. For example, these service providers may help us measure the performance of our online campaigns or analyze visitor activity on GreenMadeSimple.com. We may permit these service providers to use cookies and other technologies to perform these services for GreenMadeSimple.com. We do not share any personally identifiable information about our customers with these third party service providers, and these service providers do not collect such information on our behalf. Our third party service providers are required to comply fully with this Privacy and Security Policy.

6. External service providers will not be given your personal information without your permission

There are a number of separate products and services offered by third parties advertised by us on our site and through our Marketplace sector that may be complementary to your use of GreenMadeSimple.com. If you choose to use these separate products or services, disclose information to the providers, and/or grant them permission to collect information about you, then their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy. You should evaluate the practices of external services providers before deciding to use their services. These third party Web sites may have different privacy policies than GreenMadeSimple.com and GreenMadeSimple.com is not responsible for their privacy practices. If you click on a link to a third party Web site, GreenMadeSimple.com encourages you to check the privacy policy of that Web site.

GreenMadeSimple.com may present links in a format that enables us to keep track of whether these links have been followed and whether any action has been taken on a third party Web site. We use this information to improve the quality of the GreenMadeSimple.com Offers and customized content on the Service.

7. Disclosure of information to protect our rights or if required by law

Notwithstanding the foregoing, GreenMadeSimple.com reserves the right (and you authorize GreenMadeSimple.com) to share or disclose your Registration Information and Account information when GreenMadeSimple.com determines, in its sole discretion, that the disclosure of such information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against you if:

  • You are or may be violating this Privacy and Security Policy;
  • to prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities; or
  • Necessary or required by any applicable law, rule regulation, subpoena or other legal process.

8. Your data may be transferred if GreenMadeSimple.com is acquired but only in accordance with this policy

Registration Information and Account Information may be transferred to a third party as a result of a sale, acquisition, merger, reorganization or other transfer (a “Transfer”) involving GreenMadeSimple.com. GreenMadeSimple.com specifically reserves the right to transfer Registration and Account Information to a third party in connection with a Transfer. Should such a Transfer occur, we will use our best efforts to require that the new combined entity follow this privacy and security policy with respect to your personal information, as and to the extent required by applicable law and require that you receive prior notice if your personal information could be used contrary to this policy.

9. You can transport or delete your data

Your data is yours. You can take it with you or remove it anytime you want. When you request us to delete your account for the Service, your data will be permanently expunged from our primary production servers and further access to your account will not be possible. We will also promptly disconnect any connection we had established to your Account Information. However, portions of your data, consisting of aggregate data derived from your Account Information, may remain on our production servers indefinitely. Your data may also remain on backup server or media. GreenMadeSimple.com keeps these backups to ensure our continued ability to provide the Service to you in the event of malfunction or damage to our primary production servers.

10. Cookies are used to analyze site usage and improve the Service

“Cookies” are alphanumeric identifiers in the form of text files that are inserted and stored by your Web browser on your computer’s hard drive. GreenMadeSimple.com may set and access cookies on your computer to track and store preferential information about you. GreenMadeSimple.com may gather anonymous information about you through cookie technology on an aggregate level only. For example, GreenMadeSimple.com may assign a cookie to you, to limit the amount of times you see a particular GreenMadeSimple.com Offer or to help better determine which GreenMadeSimple.com Offers to serve to you. Please note that most Internet browsers will allow you to stop cookies from being stored on your computer and to delete cookies stored on your computer. If you choose to eliminate cookies, the full functionality of the Service may be impaired for you. We encode our cookies so that only we can interpret the information stored in them.

11. We use authentication to ensure only you access your account

Authentication is the process you go through on GreenMadeSimple.com to access secure areas of our Website. This process takes place when you log into your account, the two key components of which are your Login ID and Password.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Login ID and Password. You may not provide these credentials to any third party. If you believe that they have been stolen or been made known to others, you must contact us immediately to request a change. We are not responsible if someone else accesses your account through Registration Information they have obtained from you or through a violation by you of this Privacy and Security Policy.

If you have a security related concern, please contact us. We will work closely with you to ensure a rapid and personal response to your concerns.

12. We will notify you of any changes in this Privacy and Security Policy

If we decide to change our privacy and security policy, we will post those changes to this policy, the home page, and at other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.

13. Former Customers

If you are a former customer, we treat your information in the same manner that we treat information about our current customers.
