Go Green Etc., LLC, Gathers User Information In The Following Processes: Optional Voluntary Information

 

We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users:

 

PRIVACY POLICY

 

1. Electronic newsletters policy (Dispatches)

 

We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. Go Green Etc. gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the time of registration.

 

2. Message boards/forums policy

 

Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register separately for these services (both are free of charge) in order to post messages, although they do not need to register to visit the site. During registration, the user is required to supply a username, password, and confirmation email address.

 

3. "E-mail this to a friend" policy

 

Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The user must provide their email address, as well as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email. The information is not used for any other purpose.

 

4. Polling

 

We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about specific products or services. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user. Go Green, Etc., may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular product or service. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.

5. Surveys

 

Go Green, Etc., may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.

 

6. Children

 

Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.

 

7. Usage tracking

 

Go Green, Etc. tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. Go Green, Etc. does break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser).

 

Go Green, Etc. sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.

 

8. Cookies

 

We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain personal information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Go Green, Etc. uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). Our advertising system delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and click rates.

 

You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.

As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. Go Green, Etc. never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.

 

When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas.

We will not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
