Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using this website, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.

Your privacy is very important to us. At The Green Journalist we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

• We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
• We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law or protect our rights.

What kind of information do we collect from website visitors?

Like most website operators, The Green Journalist 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.

Why do we collect it?

The Green Journalist’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how The Green Journalist visitors use its website.

The Green Journalist also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in WordPress users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Awesome Motive only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to The Green Journalist websites choose to interact with The Green Journalist in ways that require The Green Journalist to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that The Green Journalist gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, The Green Journalist collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with The Green Journalist. The Green Journalist 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.

Aggregated Statistics

The Green Journalist may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, The Green Journalist may monitor the most popular blog posts and may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, The Green Journalist does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

The Green Journalist 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, The Green Journalist discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when The Green Journalist believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of The Green Journalist, third parties or the public at large.
