Privacy Policy

Our Green Privacy Policy

This privacy policy applies only to the website controlled by Step Into My Green World (SITMGW) and affiliated entities where this privacy policy is posted (collectively, the “Sites”).

This privacy policy does not pertain to information that is collected offline.

BY USING THE SITES, YOU CONSENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND TO OUR PROCESSING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES WE STATE BELOW.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SITES.

A. INFORMATION COLLECTED

This privacy policy applies only to information collected on the Sites and does not apply to information collected by Step Into my Green World (SITMGW) through any other means.

We collect two types of information from visitors to the Sites: (1) Personally Identifiable Information; and (2) Non-Personally Identifiable Information, such as your IP address.

(a) Personally Identifiable Information

“Personally Identifiable Information” is information about you: such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, or company name.

SITMGW collects and stores the personally identifiable information that you have provided to us. Here are some examples of manners in which we may collect your personally identifiable information on the Sites:

We may collect your email address, first and last name and zip code if you subscribe to our online newsletter;

We may collect your first and last name, date of birth and email address if you participate in a contest or Giveaway.

If you do not want SITMGW to collect your personally identifiable information, please do not provide it to us.

(b) Non-Personally Identifiable Information

“Non-Personally Identifiable Information” can be technical information or it can be demographic information, such as your age, gender or interests.

The information does NOT identify you personally.

Here are some examples of the non-personally identifiable information that is collected via the Sites and a description of how this information is used:

Internet Protocol (IP) address — Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet know where to send you data — such as the web pages you view.

We use this information to deliver our web pages to you upon request, to tailor our Sites to the interests of our users and to measure traffic within our Sites.

Cookie — A “cookie” is a small text file that may be used to collect information about your activity on the Sites. For example, when someone visits a page within the Sites, a cookie is placed on the user’s machine (if the user accepts cookies) or is read if the user has visited the Sites previously.

Demographic Information — “Demographic Information” may be your gender, age, zip code and interests, which you voluntarily provide to us on the Sites.

B. USE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED BY THE SITE

(a) Personally Identifiable Information

We use your personally identifiable information that is collected on these Sites in order to do the following:

To send newsletters.

To alert you about updated information

To complete a transaction or service requested by you if any

To notify you about a material change to this privacy policy or the Visitor Agreement, if necessary

To contact you in response to sign up forms such as Contact Us or Order Inquiry

(b) Non-Personally Identifiable Information

Non-personally identifiable information is used as described above and in other ways as permitted by applicable laws, including combining non-personally identifiable information with personally identifiable information (except with respect to non-personally identifiable information collected from children under the age of 13).

C. SHARING INFORMATION

(a) Personally Identifiable Information

We may share or disclose your personally identifiable information in the following instances:

(1) To fulfill a service to you. For example, if you email us a question, we may use your email address to process your request and respond to your question. Also, if you are entering a contest, we may use your personally identifiable information in order to fulfill the terms of that promotion. This means that we may share the information for prize fulfillment purposes or mail carriers. We also may share your information with the co-sponsor of that promotion.

(2) To affiliates, strategic partners or other unaffiliated parties who are offering products or services that we believe may be of interest to you or who require your personally identifiable information for research, administrative and/or internal business purposes. These parties may use your personally identifiable information to contact you with an offer or advertisement related to a product or service, or they may use such information for their own research, administration or business purposes. If you do not want us to share your personally identifiable information in this manner, please do not provide us with this information.

(3) To unaffiliated third-party service providers, agents or independent contractors who help us maintain our Sites and provide other administrative services to us (including, but not limited to, order processing and fulfillment, maintaining and analyzing data, sending customer communications on SITMGW’s behalf, and entry collection, winner selection and prize fulfillment for contests and other promotions).

These unaffiliated third parties will not use the personally identifiable information for any other purpose than to provide the administrative services for which they are responsible. Because such unaffiliated third-party service providers that help us administer our Sites will have access to users’ personally identifiable information, if you do not wish for our unaffiliated third-party service providers to have access to your information, please do not register or submit any personally identifiable information to us.

(4) To comply with the law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the requirements of law or comply with legal process served on us, protect and defend our rights or property, including the rights and property of SITMGW and its sites or act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of our end users.

(5) To third parties as part of any corporate reorganization process including, but not limited to, mergers, acquisitions, and sales of all or substantially all of our assets.

(6) To track and analyze non-identifying and aggregate usage and volume statistical information from our visitors and customers and provide such information to third parties.

(2) Non-Personally Identifiable Information

We use non-personally identifiable information collected on the Sites in the manner disclosed above. We may share this non-personal information with third parties.

D. COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 13

We won’t knowingly allow anyone under the age of thirteen to register with any of our Sites, or to access those features that require registration.

E. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER

If you choose to provide us with personally identifiable information, SITMGW may transfer that information to its affiliates and subsidiaries or to other third parties, across borders, and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.

If you are visiting from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that you are transferring your personally identifiable information to the United States which does not have the same data protection laws as the EU and by providing your personally identifiable information you consent to:

The use of your personally identifiable information for the uses identified above in accordance with this privacy policy; and the transfer of your personally identifiable information to the United States as indicated above.

F. UNSUBSCRIBE

We communicate with our subscribers on a regular basis via email.

We will use your email address to confirm your request, to send you information about changes to our products and services, and to send notices and other disclosures as required by law. Generally, users cannot opt-out of these communications, but they will be primarily informational in nature rather than promotional.

However, we provide you the opportunity to exercise an opt-out choice if you do not want to receive other types of communication from us, such as emails or updates from us regarding new services and products offered on this Site or if you do not want us to share your personally identifiable information with third parties. The opt-out choice may be exercised by clicking or un-clicking the appropriate box if such checkbox is available at the points where personally identifiable information is collected or by contacting us. We will process your unsubscribe as soon as possible.

You also may opt-out of receiving such emails by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link within the text of the email.

G. THIRD PARTY WEB SITES

This statement applies solely to information collected on the Sites. The Sites may contain links to other web sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other web sites.

H. THIRD PARTY ADVERTISERS

We may use advertisers, third party ad networks, and other advertising companies, to serve advertisements on SITMGW sites. Please be advised that such advertising companies may gather information about your visit to the Sites or other sites (such as through cookies and other technologies) to enable such advertising companies to market products or services to you, to monitor which ads have been served to your browser and which web pages you were viewing when such ads were delivered. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS POLICY DOES NOT COVER THE COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION BY SUCH ADVERTISING COMPANIES.

I. ASSIGNMENT

In the event that all or part of our assets or sold or acquired by another party, or in the event of a merger, you grant us the right to assign the personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information collected via the Sites.

J. PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES

We reserve the right to change this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will also revise the “last update” date at the bottom of this privacy policy.

For changes to this privacy policy that may be materially less restrictive on our use or disclosure of personal information you have provided to us, we will attempt to obtain your consent before implementing the change by sending a notice to the primary email address specified in your account or by placing a prominent notice on the Sites.

K. SECURITY

No data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you understand that any information that you transfer to SITMGW is done at your own risk.

If we learn of a security systems breach we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using SITMGW sites or providing personally identifiable information to us you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of these sites. We may post a notice on our sites if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you.

L. AGE SCREENING

Some parts of the Sites require that personally identifiable information be submitted in order to participate. For example, if you want to receive one of our newsletters, you must give us your email address. We won’t knowingly allow anyone under the age of thirteen to register with any of our Sites, or to access those features that require registration.
