Information We Automatically Gather When You Visit Our Site
Like virtually all other Web servers, Greenspring’s Web server automatically creates log files for each visitor who accesses our site. These “access logs” allow us to make our site more useful to our visitors. The access logs do not record a visitor’s name, address, phone number, credit card numbers, or any other personally identifying information. Rather, these log files may contain some or all of the following information:
- The date of the visit
- The time and length of the visit
- The path taken through the Web site
- The browser being used
- A list of files downloaded or viewed
- The Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) of the machine accessing our Web site*
- A result code indicating success or failure
*Most Internet Service Providers use a “dynamic” form of assigning IP Addresses. This means that a visitor may have a different IP Address each time he or she visits a Greenspring Web site.
We use this information to aid the technical administration of the sites and to better understand how each site is functioning for its users. This information may be correlated with your profile, if you have provided this data, to provide special “personalized” services. This information may also be used in aggregate form.
We may track your visit to sections of our Web sites in order for some site features to function properly for you. In some instances, “cookies” or a similar technology may be used to update your registration records with session information. If you do not wish to accept a cookie from Greenspring’s servers, you can adjust the settings on your browser accordingly. Refusing to accept cookies from the Greenspring server may result in some limits on the benefits that we can automatically provide as you enjoy the Greenspring Web sites.
Information You Give Us
Greenspring does not collect personally-identifying information from Greenspring Web sites unless you choose to provide that information to us. Visitors under the age of 18 must obtain permission from their parents or guardians before sending any personally-identifying information to Greenspring.
Name and Contact Information
Greenspring may ask visitors (you) to provide certain personal
information when you: register for a contest; sign up for
an email list; request information; purchase products or
services. Greenspring tells you whether a specific piece of
information is required at the time it is requested.
This information may be used by Greenspring to: verify your identity; manage a contest; gather your editorial comments and feedback; contact you for additional information; and fulfill your order or request. Greenspring may also use this information for marketing and promotional purposes. By providing this information, you may receive occasional email from Greenspring or selected third-parties.
Your name and basic contact information may be exchanged for consideration with select companies and organizations. These companies and organizations may attempt to contact you to promote a product or service which they offer. Such contacts from third-parties will only be made with Greenspring’s consent, and Greenspring will only grant its consent when Greenspring considers the offer to be of potential interest and benefit to our Web site users.
If you do not want your name and contact information to be used in this way, you may notify us in an email addressed to info@greenspring.com. Greenspring cannot remove your name from any third party’s list; you will have to contact them directly.
Demographic and Profile Information
Greenspring occasionally conducts online surveys, sometimes in
association with a contest or other offer. These surveys
may ask you for demographic information such as ZIP code,
age, education or income level. This information is used
in an aggregate form to help us understand our audiences
and improve our services. Demographic and profile
information may be shared with selected third-party
organizations, only on an aggregate basis, to describe
the nature of our online audiences.
Credit Card Information
When you engage in money-related transactions on a Greenspring
site, you will be asked for a credit card number. All
financial transactions take place only on secure servers.
Electronic communication of credit card information is
sent only in a secured or encrypted format. Your credit
card information is saved, in an encrypted format, on
internal systems that are either not connected to the
Internet or are protected by advanced firewalls separate
from the computers that serve Greenspring public sites.
