Privacy Policy

Last updated December 30, 2017. Please save for your records.

Your privacy is important to us. At Green Light Web Solutions we have a few fundamental principles:

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to operate or develop our services, comply with the law, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information unless required for the ongoing operation of our services.

Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, capitalized terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Green Light Web Solutions collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Green Light Web Solutions’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Green Light Web Solutions’ visitors use its website. From time to time, Green Light Web Solutions may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Green Light Web Solutions also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on Green Light Web Solutions’ websites. Green Light Web Solutions discloses logged-in user and commenter IP addresses only under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of Green Light Web Solutions’ website where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Green Light Web Solutions’ websites choose to interact with Green Light Web Solutions in ways that require Green Light Web Solutions to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Green Light Web Solutions gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for our email newsletter to provide an email address.

Those who engage in transactions with Green Light Web Solutions – by purchasing a service, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions.

We use WePay and Stripe to process payments. Your credit card information runs through WePay or Stripe and is never stored in our website. No one at Green Light Web Solutions has access to your credit card information. Here’s more about Stripe security and WePay security.

On some pages, you will submit information about your website or other accounts login credentials (web host login, for example).

We may collect information when you interact with us on social media.

When we advertise online, we may collect information about which ads are displayed to you, which ads you click on, and on which webpage the ad was displayed to you.

You may choose to provide personal information through your public participation in our open communications tools or other interactive webpages (e.g., blogs, comments, etc.). Such information may be available to anyone who has access to the website.

In each case, Green Light Web Solutions collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Green Light Web Solutions. Green Light Web Solutions does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Green Light Web Solutions’ websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.

Green Light Web Solutions will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Green Light Web Solutions discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Green Light Web Solutions believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Green Light Web Solutions, third parties or the public at large.

If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Green Light Web Solutions takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

We provide reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security controls to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Your personal information and data files are stored on our systems and the systems of companies that help us run our business.
