The Green Tent Company - Online Privacy Statement
|
The Green Tent Company is committed to protecting
your privacy. Please read the The Green Tent Company Online Privacy Statement
below and also any supplemental information listed to the right for additional
details about particular The Green Tent Company sites and services that you may
use.
This The Green Tent Company Online Privacy Statement applies to data
collected by The Green Tent Company through all of its Web sites and services. It
does not apply to those The Green Tent Company sites, services and products that
do not display or link to this statement or that have their own privacy
statements.
Collection of Your Personal InformationIn order to access some
The Green Tent Company services, you will be asked to sign in with an e-mail
address and password, which we refer to as your credentials. In most cases, you
can use the same credentials to sign in to many different The Green Tent Company
sites and services, as well as those of select The Green Tent Company partners. By
signing in on one The Green Tent Company site or service, you may be automatically
signed into other The Green Tent Company sites and services.
At some
The Green Tent Company sites, we ask you to provide personal information, such as
your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. We may also
collect demographic information, such as your postcode, age, gender,
preferences. If you choose to make a purchase or sign up for a paid subscription
service, we will ask for additional information, such as your credit card number
and billing address, which is used to create an The Green Tent Company billing
account.
We may collect information about your visit, including the
pages you view, the links you click and other actions taken in connection with
The Green Tent Company sites and services. We also collect certain standard
information that your browser sends to every Web site you visit, such as your IP
address, browser type and language, access times and referring Web site
addresses.
In order to offer you a more consistent and personalised
experience in your interactions with The Green Tent Company, information collected
through one The Green Tent Company service may be combined with information
obtained through other The Green Tent Company services. We may also supplement the
information we collect with information obtained from other companies. For
example, we may use services from other companies that enable us to derive a
general geographic area based on your IP address in order to customise certain
services to your geographic area.
Use of Your Personal InformationThe Green Tent Company collects and uses
your personal information to operate and improve its sites and deliver the
services or carry out the transactions you have requested. These uses may
include providing you with more effective customer service; making the sites or
services easier to use by eliminating the need for you to enter the same
information repeatedly; performing research and analysis aimed at improving our
products, services and technologies; and displaying content and advertising that
are customised to your interests and preferences.
We also use your
personal information to communicate with you. We may send certain mandatory
service communications such as welcome letters, billing reminders, information
on technical service issues, and security announcements. Some
The Green Tent Company services, such as Item Listings or Job Advertising, may
send periodic member letters that are considered part of the service. We may
also occasionally send you product surveys or promotional mail outs to inform
you of other products or services available from The Green Tent Company.
Personal information collected on The Green Tent Company sites and
services may be stored and processed in the United Kingdom or any other country
in which The Green Tent Company or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain
facilities, and by using an The Green Tent Company site or service, you consent to
any such transfer of information outside your country.
Sharing of Your Personal InformationExcept as described in this
statement, we will not disclose your personal information outside
The Green Tent Company and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates without your
consent. Some The Green Tent Company sites allow you to choose to share your
personal information with selected The Green Tent Company partners so that they
can contact you about their products, services or offers.
We
occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf,
such as handling the processing and delivery of mail outs, providing customer
support, hosting Web sites, processing transactions, or performing statistical
analysis of our services. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the
personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to
maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it
for any other purpose.
We may access and/or disclose your personal
information if we believe such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law
or legal process served on The Green Tent Company; (b) protect and defend the
rights or property of The Green Tent Company (including the enforcement of our
agreements); or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety
of users of The Green Tent Company services or members of the public.

Security of Your Personal InformationThe Green Tent Company is committed
to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of
security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information
from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. For example, we store the personal
information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are
located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential
information (such as a credit card number or password) over the Internet, we
protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
protocol.
If a password is used to help protect your accounts and
personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password
confidential. Do not share this information with anyone. If you are sharing a
computer with anyone you should always choose to log out before leaving a site
or service to prevent access to your information by subsequent users.
We
encourage you to talk to your children about communicating with strangers and
disclosing personal information online. You and your child can visit our online
safety resources for additional information about using the Internet safely.
Use of CookiesThe Green Tent Company Web sites use "cookies" to enable
you to sign in to our services and to help personalise your online experience. A
cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page
server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a Web server in
the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs
or deliver viruses to your computer.
The Green Tent Company Web sites use
cookies to store your preferences and other information on your computer in
order to save you time by eliminating the need to enter the same information
repeatedly and to display your personalised content and appropriate advertising
on your later visits to these sites.
You can choose to accept or decline
cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually
modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to
decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use other interactive
features of The Green Tent Company sites and services that depend on cookies.
Use of Web BeaconsThe Green Tent Company Web pages may contain electronic
images known as Web beacons - sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that may be
used to assist in delivering cookies on our sites and allow us to count users
who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. We may include
Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or our newsletters in order to
determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Finally, we
may work with other companies that advertise on The Green Tent Company sites to
place Web beacons on their sites in order to allow us to develop statistics on
how often clicking on an advertisement on a The Green Tent Company site results in
a purchase or other action on the advertiser's site.
Use of Third Party Ad NetworksThe majority of the online banner
advertisements you see on The Green Tent Company Web pages are displayed by
The Green Tent Company. However, we allow other companies, called third-party ad
servers or ad networks, to display advertisements on The Green Tent Company Web
pages. Some of these ad networks may place a persistent cookie on your computer
in order to recognise your computer each time they send you an online
advertisement. In this way, ad networks may compile information about where you,
or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine
which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver
targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you.
The Green Tent Company does not have access to the cookies that may be placed by
the third-party ad servers or ad networks.
Controlling "Spam" or Unsolicited E-mailThe Green Tent Company is
concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail, or "spam".
The Green Tent Company will not sell, lease or rent its e-mail subscriber lists to
third parties. While The Green Tent Company continues actively to review and
implement new technology, such as expanded filtering features, there is no
currently available technology that will totally prevent the sending and
receiving of unsolicited e-mail. Being cautious about the sharing of your e-mail
address while online will help reduce the amount of unsolicited e-mail you
receive.
We will occasionally update this privacy statement to reflect
changes in our services and customer feedback. When we post changes to this
Statement, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this statement.
If there are material changes to this statement or in how The Green Tent Company
will use your personal information, we will notify you either by prominently
posting a notice of such changes prior to implementing the change or by directly
sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this statement
periodically to be informed of how The Green Tent Company is protecting your
information.
Contacting UsThe Green Tent Company welcomes your comments regarding this
privacy statement. If you have questions about this statement or believe that we
have not adhered to it, please contact us by using our Contact Us Page.
