Privacy Policy
GreenTech ITM™, Inc. ("GreenTech") is
firmly committed to protecting your privacy. This policy describes our
information gathering, use and dissemination practices for our web site. This
policy does not apply to any web site to which our web site is linked, and you
are encouraged to review the privacy policies for such web site before using or
disclosing any information on the web site.
Information Gathering
We do not collect any personally
identifiable information from individuals who wish to browse our site.
We also collect personally identifiable information in
other areas of our site in which users voluntarily provide content submissions
or suggestions or otherwise participate in interactive online activities. In
addition, personally identifiable information may be collected as it is needed
to process your requests for information. We may also collect and store
statistics and other information about the online activities of our users on an
individual basis or an aggregate basis.
Use of Information
Gathered
As a general rule, GreenTech will not
disclose, sell or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to
unaffiliated companies, except when we have your permission, as part of a
possible sale of the company, or as otherwise provided below.
GreenTech may use personal information to
provide you with a customized experience on our site. This may include
personalization services, interactive communications, online ordering and many
other types of services. We may also use such information to fulfill licenses,
to track compliance with our Access Terms of Service, to provide editorial
feedback, for research purposes or for our own marketing and promotional
purposes, and such information may be shared with our advertisers, business
partners or other affiliates, as described more fully below.
Promotions that run on our site may
be sponsored by companies other than GreenTech, or may be co-sponsored by GreenTech and
another company. Some or all of your personal information that is collected
during a promotion may be shared with the sponsor. If you do not want your
information to be shared, you must not participate in the promotion. Many
promotions also offer opportunities to request additional information from
sponsors. By requesting additional information, you give GreenTech permission to
transfer your personal information to the sponsor so they can fulfill your
request.
If you link from our site to any
advertiser or merchant site for purchases or other interaction, the information
collected by those merchants during your visit, such as your credit card number
and contact information, is available to those merchants and is subject to their
privacy policies. GreenTech has no responsibility or liability for these independent
policies, and the information practices of those advertisers, merchants, and
other web sites are not covered by this Privacy Policy.
GreenTech may collect information on our
users' demographics, interests and behavior in order to better understand and
serve our users. This information is compiled and analyzed on an individual
basis (personally identifiable format) and in an aggregated format that does not
contain any personally identifiable information, and such information may be
shared with our business partners or other affiliates in both such
formats.
GreenTech may also disclose information
about you in special cases when we believe in good faith that disclosure is
necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who is
violating our Access Terms of Service or our Tools License Agreement, who is
infringing or misappropriating our legal rights, is injuring or interfering with
the property of GreenTech or third parties, where there is a risk of injury to you,
GreenTech, or third parties, or when required by law.
The description of our use of your
personally identifiable information above is not exhaustive. Particular pages or
particular programs or services within our site may use your information in ways
not described above. Please see the Access Terms of Use or the applicable
License Agreement for each of our products and services for more detailed
information about how your personal information may be used.
User Contact
In addition to any newsletters you
receive by e-mail, we may occasionally send you e-mail communications to provide
information that we think you will find useful. You can choose not to receive
future e-mails from GreenTech at any time, by contacting GreenTech customer service at
(804) 965-0026 or by e-mail to info@greentechitm.com.
However, to the extent that corrected or deleted information is also stored in
other databases, we cannot always ensure that such corrections or deletions will
immediately reach the other databases. Please note that we may occasionally
contact you for administrative purposes even if you unsubscribe from our
distribution lists.

Security
While no security system is 100%
guaranteed, GreenTech utilizes industry-standard tools to protect your information.
Strict security measures are employed whenever your personal information is
collected and transmitted.
Keep in mind that whenever you
voluntarily disclose personal information within public areas of our web sites -
for example on message boards, discussion groups, through e-mail, or in chat
areas -- that the information can be collected and used by others. In short, if
you post personal information on areas of our web site that are accessible to
the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your
passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible
whenever you are online.

supplement this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make any material modification
hereof, we will update this page with a notice of such changes and how they
would affect the security and disclosure of your personal information. Despite
any modifications to our Privacy Policy, once we collect your personally
identifiable information, we will continue to honor the policy that was in
effect at the time your information was collected unless we have your permission
to do otherwise. |
