Last Revised: November 25, 2002.

It is important to GlassyGreen.com to protect your privacy. We are committed to making your experience at this site a secure one. This policy describes our PRIVACY POLICY. By visiting GlassyGreen.com, you are accepting the practices described in this, the GlassyGreen.com PRIVACY POLICY.

Please read the PRIVACY POLICY so as to understand how your personal information will be treated as you make use of our Web site. Please check back periodically since this policy may change from time to time.

GlassyGreen.com ("GG") does not sell, rent, barter or freely distribute user information to anyone. Personal information you submit to GG in either your Member Profile, or your Customer Profile, is stored in a secure operating environment, and is for GG's use alone. GG requests standard information for purchasing, and only minimal information for membership; most information contributed is voluntary. This information is used only for limited purposes, such as processing orders. It also helps GG know you a little better, which helps us provide better Web site content, service, and products. Credit card transactions are encrypted and run through a separate, dedicated secure server.

Your Membership/Customer Profile, and/or account information is password protected so only you can access your personal information. We recommend you do not disclose your password to anyone. Remember to log off your computer, or close your browser window when you have finished your time on the computer to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence.

Be aware that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we make every effort to protect your personal information, GG cannot ensure or affirm the security of any information you transmit to us, and to do so is at your own risk. However, once we receive your transmission, we make our best efforts to ensure its security on our systems.

The GG PRIVACY POLICY applies only to those pages inclusive within the GG Web site/domain. While GG provides links to many other Web sites on the internet, GG is not liable for the security of those other Web sites, and therefore encourages users to carefully examine the privacy statements of any other sites users link to from GG. Personal information that you choose to provide to other sites will be subject to the privacy policies of those other Web sites.

Whenever you post to a forum or discussion thread, link to another site, or have your membership profile public, you should be aware that you may be revealing personal information which others may take note of, and collect for their own use, such as sending you an unsolicited message. This type of personal information which you voluntarily make available publicly is not covered by this, the GG PRIVACY POLICY. GG is not able to monitor or control use of public content. You should always be careful when distributing personal information regarding yourself (or others) in this manner. Users should remember that online forums are public; you are solely responsible for your own communications in these areas. Be aware that marketers or others can get your e-mail address from bulletin boards and newsgroups, and the access of that information is not protected by this PRIVACY POLICY. It is also important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

GG may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law; (b) comply with legal process served on GG or the site; (c) protect and defend the rights or property of GG, the site or the users of GG; (d) protect against fraud, and (e) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of GG, the site or the public.

What personal information about members and/or customers does GG gather?
The information we learn from members and/or customers helps us to personalize or improve the GG Web site for our users, as well as improve upon the shopping experience at GG. Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Share With Us
Some personal information is gathered when you become a member or when you chose to purchase an item. We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site, or give us in any other way. This is so we may recognize you when you return and log in to the site. You may choose not to provide certain information, although then you might not be able to take advantage of some of our features. Information you provide is used for purposes such as responding to your requests, improving our Web site and product line, filling your order and for communicating with you. We recommend you visit the Federal Trade Commission's Web site for information they provide on online privacy:
E-Commerce and the Internet

Automatic Information
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses GG's servers.

This automatic information cannot identify a specific individual. We automatically gather certain information about you based upon your behavior on our site in several ways. This information may include the web site's Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address This information is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. For example, we may know that several hundred people visited our surf links page today, but we do not necessarily know their names or addresses; they are anonymous to us. GG uses this information to do internal research on our visitors' demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand and serve our visitors.

A search on the internet will reveal a number of companies which offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although, we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at GG if we cannot recognize you, we want you to know these tools are available to you. GG is not able to endorse the products these companies provide.

Cookies are used for a) reminding us of who you are, and for accessing your account information on our computers; b) for estimating our number of members; c) to determine what members view and how much time they spend in different sections of the Web site, thus helping us determine what is valuable to you; and d) to measure traffic patterns.

The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.

Information from Other Sources
Sometimes we receive updated delivery and address information from our shippers so we can correct our records, and deliver your next purchase or communication with more ease and efficiency.

Does GG Sell, Rent or Share the Information it Receives?
Information about our members and/or customers is an important part of our business, and we do not sell it to others. GG will not share your personal information except when release may be required as follows: GG may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law; (b) comply with legal process served on GG or the site; (c) protect and defend the rights or property of GG, the site or the users of GG; (d) protect against fraud and reduction of credit risk, and (e) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of GG, the site or the public.

Agents
We employ, or may employ in the future, other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. These individuals have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Business Transfers
In the event that GG is acquired by, or merges with another business entity, then be aware that in transactions of this nature, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets.

How Secure Is Information About Me?
