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.
What
Are Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that are transferred
to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser
to enable our systems to recognize your browser and
to provide features such as storage of items in your
Shopping Cart between visits. GG uses cookies to store
and sometimes track information about you for analyzing
site activity, thus helping us improve upon the Web
site, and products.
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?
GG does not retain your credit card number within your
online Customer Profile/account information. Each purchase
you make from GG requires that you re-enter a credit
card number. During order processing, we transmit your
credit card number encrypted to the appropriate credit
card company.
What Information Can I Access?
GG gives you access to the following information about
you for the purposes of viewing and/or updating your
membership profile and/or customer profile. This list
may change as the GG Web site evolves.

Choices Do I Have?

information, even though it might be needed to make
a purchase or to take advantage of GG's features. You

advise you on how to prevent accepting new cookies,
how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, or
how to disable cookies altogether.
