Privacy Statement
for www.greenstar.org
and www.e-greenstar.com


Greenstar has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for two linked websites, www.greenstar.org and www.e-greenstar.com. These sites are operated by two separate but co-operating organizations: Greenstar Development Foundation and Greenstar Development World-Wide, Inc.., respectively.

Your IP address may be used to gather broad geographic information. No personal information on you or your computer is gathered, stored or used in any way, unless you enter that information yourself for a specific purpose and give permission.

Our site's email subscription invitation invited users to give us contact information (like their name and email address). We use customer contact information from the registration form to send the user information about our company. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.

This site contains links to other sites. Greenstar is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

Our site uses an externally-operated map and search facility, both provided by FreeFind. We also use an external forms application, provided by Formsite, and an email processing system provided by Postmaster General. These companies follow responsible security practices for information they collect, and do not share or allow access by anyone to Greenstar's data on their systems.


Security

This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Customer information files are kept on a single secure computer which is not connected to a local or wide-area server; backups are stored in a safety deposit box. Access to email files is password-controlled; the password is known to three people, all directly responsible to and working with Greenstar.
