Privacy Policy:

Green Tech Media ("Green Tech Media") operates greendesignbriefs.com and may operate other websites. It is Green Tech Media's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Green Tech Media collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Green Tech Media's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Green Tech Media's visitors use its website. From time to time, Green Tech Media may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Green Tech Media also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on greendesignbriefs.com blogs/sites. Green Tech Media only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Green Tech Media's websites choose to interact with Green Tech Media in ways that require Green Tech Media to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Green Tech Media gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at greendesignbriefs.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Green Tech Media are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Green Tech Media collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Green Tech Media. Green Tech Media does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Green Tech Media may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Green Tech Media may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Green Tech Media does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Green Tech Media's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Green Tech Media will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Green Tech Media discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Green Tech Media believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Green Tech Media, third parties or the public at large.
