General Privacy Policy
This document contains the privacy practices for the GreenOurPlanet.org web site and GoP’s other web sites (collectively, the “Sites”). These Sites are owned and operated by or on behalf of Green Our Planet, Inc. (“GoP”). We at GoP take your privacy seriously. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you about the information that is collected about you on the Sites, how GoP may use and disclose the information that is collected, how information can be corrected or changed, and your obligations regarding information about others you may encounter in using the Sites. Please note that this Privacy Policy only governs information gathered from you online through these Sites.
Our web server automatically recognizes and collects the domain name and IP address of visitors to our Sites. In addition, we collect information volunteered by the visitor to participate in activities on the Sites, such as making a donation, or funding a project in someone’s honor, opening a gift registry of favorite projects, creating or participating in a challenge, responding to surveys, registering to create an account, requesting email newsletters and/or contacting us through one or more of our contact email addresses. GoP also collects personal information when you create an account. When you create an account we ask for information such as your name, email address, postal address, and phone number. If a visitor has enabled cookies in their browser, we also will send a cookie file that will only store a unique, random session ID that is maintained throughout the session to track the pages visited, allowing us to provide visitors to our Sites with certain conveniences, such as delivering unique content. We also use cookies to track the path of users through our Sites, and to keep track of where they came from (for example, if they arrive via a search engine). We also collect aggregate tracking information derived mainly from tallying page views throughout our Sites.
GoP exerts reasonable efforts to protect personal information received from users of our Sites from unauthorized use or disclosure. We do not allow unauthorized access via the Internet to the portion of our server that contains personally identifiable user information. All credit card information provided as requested on the Sites for donations is encrypted using the SSL protocol and we do not retain any end-user credit card information after the processing of the transaction is complete.
3.1 General.
GoP uses information for the following general purposes: to evaluate project proposals, provide information regarding approved proposals to the Sites’ visitors and potential donors or volunteers, to customize the content and/or layout of the Sites for each individual user, to improve the content of our Sites, our services or programs, and to contact you.
3.2 Contacting You.
By creating an account on a Site, you agree to receive emails based on transactional activity, which may include confirmation emails, receipts, acknowledgement messages, updates on projects you’ve funded, or updates on feedback you send us. You can unsubscribe from these emails at any time by contacting GoP or logging into your account.
Email addresses provided by users of the Sites will only be used to send email from or related to GoP and its programs. GoP strictly enforces email privacy, and email addresses are not given, sold, leased or bartered to or with any third parties.
Postal addresses collected online may be used for various mailings from GoP and its affiliates, including the forwarding of thank-you notes or other correspondence and pictures in appreciation of your donation or volunteered time. Postal addresses are not given, sold, leased or bartered to or with any third parties.
3.3 Donations, Registries and Other Services.
By voluntarily providing us with your name, credit card information, e-mail address, postal address, telephone number, billing address, and any other personally identifiable information, you consent to our use of such information for the purpose(s) for which it was collected, such as processing your donations, opening a gift registry, funding a project in someone’s honor, and/or for providing any other service or product you request.
3.4 Aggregate Data.
GoP may collect information about the use of the Sites, such as the types of services used and how many users we receive daily. This information is collected in aggregate form, without identifying any user individually. GoP may use this aggregate, non-identifying statistical data for statistical analysis, marketing or similar promotional purposes. This may include disclosure of this information to a third party market analysis firm.
We do not give, sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others without your express consent. We disclose your personal information only to process your credit card donations, or in the following circumstances:
4.1 Governmental Order.
GoP may provide your personal information if necessary, in GoP’s good faith judgment, to comply with laws or regulations of a governmental or regulatory body or in response to a valid subpoena, warrant or order or to protect the rights of GoP or others.
4.2 Business Transition.
If GoP goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, we reserve the right to transfer your personal information, which will likely be among the assets transferred.
4.2 Contractors and Other Third Party Service Providers.
GoP may employ contractors or other third parties. These contractors or other third parties may have access to your personal information if necessary to perform services for us; however, they may only use such personal information for the purpose of performing that function and may not use it for any other purpose.
4.3 Gift Registry.
When a visitor to a Site creates a gift registry account enabling donors to contribute funds for a specific project in honor of a named person (for example, contributing funds to honor someone’s birthday, anniversary or other special event), the named person’s first and last name may be displayed to various users of the Sites; however, no other personal information about the named person will be disclosed on the Sites. By providing such named person’s first and last name, you represent to GoP that you have permission to provide and grant GoP the right to disclose such information.
4.4 Matching Contributions.
We may disclose your contact information (name, postal address, email address and telephone number) and donation information (donation amount and supported projects) to your employer if you have notified us that your employer will match your donation for the purposes of enabling your employer to make a matching donation. GoP is not responsible for the privacy practices of your employer. For more information regarding the handling of your information by your employer, please refer to your employer’s privacy policies.
4.5 Third Party Websites.
GoP is not responsible for the contents, services or the privacy polices or practices of websites to which we may provide hyperlinks from these Sites, or of the websites of its affiliates, sponsors or corporate partners.

Recipients of such information include Site visitors, donors, third party contractors, and other projects.
6.2 Verification of Affiliation.
The contact information (name, postal address, email address and telephone number) of project contacts who have indicated an affiliation with an organization (e.g., an environmental non-profit, church organization, school, etc.) may be shared with the associated organization for purposes of verification that the contact belongs to the organization (See Section 4 above). However, our agreements with the affiliated organizations only permit them to use such personal information for the purpose of performing that function and prohibits them from using it for any other purpose.
