At
GreenPhone, we are committed to protecting your privacy and
ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and
responsible manner.
As part of the normal operation of our services, GreenPhone
collects and, in some cases, discloses information about you. This
Privacy Policy describes the information we collect about you and
what may happen to that information. Please read on.
Background
When you trade a cell / mobile telephone through the
greenphone.com web site, it becomes the property of GreenPhone
Inc. GreenPhone in turn contracts with certain partner
organizations to offer you gift certificates or other forms of
value for your phone. Per our agreements with the retailer you
pick, GreenPhone Inc. will send your contact information on to
them so they can send you a gift certificate for whatever
product(s) you have chosen. Some of these retailers have privacy
policies stated on their web sites, others may cause you to have
to register / create an account on their sites. Please understand
that these third party agents run their businesses on their own
terms and conditions, and GreenPhone cannot control their
actions.
Our Privacy Policy
At GreenPhone, preserving the privacy of your personal
information is important to us. We respect your privacy and have
designed an approach to handling your personal information that
you should find reassuring. This Privacy Statement explains our
commitment to privacy. GreenPhone pledges to our customers:
Greenphone.com uses cookies to personalize your user experience.
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your
browser on your computer's hard drive. Most web browsers are
automatically set to accept cookies. To change this, or to show a
warning each time a cookie request is received, please review your
browser's guidelines. USE OF COOKIES IS REQUIRED TO UTILIZE
Greenphone.com. Our cookies expire automatically.
We will not sell, publish, or divulge information about your
transaction to anyone outside of GreenPhone and the specific
retail partners whom you have selected for gift certificates or
product offers.
We offer a complete and straightforward explanation of how we use
information collected from donors.
We provide an anonymous way to recycle your old cell / mobile
phones if you wish via the www.greenphone.com web site. To donate
your phones anonymously, simply leave all of the contact
information blank. Of course, this will also make it impossible
for us to acknowledge your donation.
Our Use of Information Collected:
Our donation forms ask for contact information (e.g. name, address
and email address). You would enter that information on the blank
form you fill in on our site. You would provide your contact
information via that form and send the form with the cell / mobile
phones you are trading with us by mail. The donor information is
shared with the retail organization you picked to receive gift
certificates from. The contact information is also used to contact
customers in the rare cases when partial information makes that
necessary (for example: phones were entered incorrectly into the
web site - affecting pricing of the trade offer made on line).
The information you provide is used to enhance your experience
with greenphone.com. We occasionally use it to update you on our
products and services. We will also occasionally notify you of
special offers from GreenPhone or our merchant partners. If
you never want to receive any announcements or special offers from
us, simply send us an e-mail at service@greenphone.com.
Data Security
GreenPhone ensures that all donations made through the site
are stored on a secure server, and that this data is downloaded
frequently into a master database that is kept off-line, further
minimizing any risk for data security. GreenPhone never
collects any information that is confidential, such as social
security numbers, credit card or bank information.
This Web site contains links to other sites. We are not
responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web
sites.
Disclosure of Information Collected
In the current regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that
private communications and other personally identifiable
information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise
described in this Privacy Statement. By way of example (without
limiting the foregoing), we may be compelled by statute or court
order to disclose information to the law enforcement or third
parties in some circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully
intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We
can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information you provide
to us, as we are required to do by court order or law as we, in
our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in
connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property
infringements, or other activity that is unlawful or may expose us
to legal liability. We use industry standard practices to protect
your privacy, but we cannot guarantee and you should not expect
that information you provide or private communications will remain
private under these circumstances.
