NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
We also collect or may collect non-personally identifiable information from you through the use of technology, which may include, but is not limited to, "cookies" and pixel tags (or clear "gifs"). Because of the nature of such technology, it may not be readily apparent to you that such non-personally identifiable information is being collected. For example, when you come to this site your IP (internet protocol) address is collected. An IP address is automatically assigned to you whenever you access the Internet and is often associated with the place from which you enter the Internet like your ISP (Internet Service Provider), your company, or your university. This IP address may be the same each time you access the Internet or it may change. The information we collect in this manner is not personally identifiable. However, once you choose to furnish us with personally identifiable information, this information may be linked to such information
LOG FILES
As is true of most Web sites, we may gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
Even if you don’t voluntarily provide personal information, the URLs we collect through our web site sometimes contain personal information about you. For example, when you enter information on a Web the operator of the Web site may insert that information into its URL for that or the next page. This means that your name, your address, your e-mail address, or similar information you might consider private or personally identifiable which you enter into a Web page sometimes becomes part of a URL that is then transmitted to us.
We analyze logs of usage path collected from users to determine Internet usage in the aggregate. Further, by storing this information with users' cookie numbers, we correlate each user's usage path information and demographic information to each other.
COOKIES; PIXEL TAGS
18Greens reserves the right at any time to collect anonymous, non-personal information about your use of this site through the use of "cookies" and pixel tags.
"Cookies" are pieces of information that a website sends to your computer and puts on your computer's hard drive while you are viewing the website. "Cookies" allow us to know how often someone visits our site and the activities they conduct while on our site (such as the places you visited, etc.). "Cookies" can also be used to store personal preferences for your convenience and to track user trends and patterns. The information collected by "cookies" can help us better understand and improve areas of this site and our services or information that our users find valuable.
Cookies alone do not tell us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information. However, once you choose to provide us with personally identifiable information, such information may be linked to the data stored in the "cookie."
Your browser software can be set to reject all "cookies" or to warn you each time a cookie is being sent. You do this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser's Help menu to learn the correct way to reject "cookies" or receive warnings about "cookies." If you reject our "cookies," certain of the functions and conveniences of our site may not work properly.
Our partners, affiliates or sponsors on this site may also use their own "cookies" when you click on their advertisement or link to their site or service. We do not control these third parties' use of "cookies" or how they manage the information they gather from your visit to their sites. We recommend that you review the privacy policy of other sites you visit or link to from our site for information on how these other sites use "cookies" and your personal information.
In addition, visitors to our site who have received a targeted promotional campaign from us may have some of the pages they visit on our site noted by us or by such company through the use of pixel tags (also called clear "gifs"). The information collected in this way may be associated with personally identifiable information. The information collected by pixel tags is used for the purpose of targeting future campaigns and upgrading visitor information used in reporting statistics.
EMBEDDED CODE
We may use a tracking utility that uses a user’s IP address and code embedded in our site to gather non-personally identifiable information about web site usage and movement. This data is then analyzed and used to track user visits and user page habits for improving user experience and promoting our services.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use personally identifiable information in a variety of ways. We use the information to complete transactions, such as to fulfill your requests for our products, information, offerings, programs and services, to provide service-related information and to respond to your inquiries. We also use the information collected to communicate with you and to promote us and our products and services. For example, we may use such information to send you e-mail updates and newsletters about our site, to offer you other information, programs or services that we believe may be of interest to you, including e-mails relating to promotions and special notices from us, or to respond to your interest in employment with 18Greens. Your information will not be shared with any third parties.
We do not use your e-mail address to correlate your identity to your Internet usage paths. If you do not want to receive further newsletters, offers, or product and service information, simply click the unsubscribe or opt-out link at the bottom of the unwanted e-mail message.
We use IP addresses to diagnose problems with our servers and to administer our Web site. Your IP address also is used by 18Greens to gather broad demographic information, such as your general geographic location and Internet Service Provider. IP addresses are further used to help determine the number of users of our Web site. This demographic information may also be used by us to analyze aggregate Internet usage behavior.
PROFILE
We store information that we collect through cookies, log files, clear gifs, and/or third party sources to create a “profile” of your preferences. We may tie your personally identifiable information, and your purchasing history, to information in the profile, to provide tailored promotions and marketing offers and to improve the content of the site for you.
DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Except as described below, we will not share your personally identifiable information with third parties (aside from entities that perform services for us, such as processing credit card payments), unless you have “opted-in” to such sharing. We may in the future, however, share your name and e-mail address with our advertisers and sponsors so that they can send you information, offers, and promotions.
However, we may disclose information you provide if required to do so by law or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to: (1) comply with the law or with legal process served on us; (2) protect and defend our rights or property; or (3) act in an emergency to protect someone’s safety.
We may gather demographic information from you (for example, your age, education level or household income) from time to time. We will not share such information with any other person or entity in a manner that identifies you as an individual, unless we let you know that at the time of collection or we have your permission. When we share demographic information with third parties, we will give them aggregate information only.
As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets, and, depending upon the transaction, your personally identifiable information may be one of the transferred assets. In the event that we are acquired by another company, your personal information may be part of the assets transferred to the acquiring party.
DISCLOSURE TO SERVICE PROVIDERS, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE CONTRACTORS
Sometimes we hire companies to help us deliver services that sends you our products or materials or special offers or a service provider that may send you other communications from us, including e-mail communications from us. In those instances, we need to share your information with them. Access to your personal information by these companies is limited to the information reasonably necessary in order for them to perform such functions. These companies are allowed to use your personal information only to deliver the information, product or service.
Also, sometimes our operations and maintenance contractors have limited access to your information in the course of providing products or services to us. These contractors include vendors and suppliers that provide us with technology, services and/or content related to the better maintenance and operation of our sites. Access to your personal information by these contractors is limited to the information reasonably necessary in order for the contractor to perform its service for us. We require that our operations and maintenance contractors protect the privacy of your personal information consistent with this privacy policy and not use or disclose or use your personal information for any purpose other than providing us products and services.
DISCLOSURES REQUIRED BY LAW OR IN SPECIAL CASES
We will give out personally identifiable information to comply with valid legal requirements, such as a law, regulations, search warrant, subpoena or court order, or to protect the safety and security of consumers and our sites.
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION BY THIRD PARTY SITES
We may also at times have links to websites operated by companies other than us. You should be aware that any information you disclose once you access these other sites is not subject to this privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of these third parties. We recommend that you review the privacy policy posted on the third party's site to understand what that third party collects and how it uses your personal information.
CREDIT CARD SAFETY
We aim to provide you with a safe and convenient online shopping experience. When placing an order online, your information is transmitted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, the approved industry standard. To check the security of your connection, view the lower corner of your browser window as you place your order. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser), then SSL is active and the server is secure. You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your browser.
