GreenInfo Network Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 21, 2026

GreenInfo Network (“GreenInfo,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it by complying with this policy. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit greeninfo.org (our “Website”), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

This policy applies to information we collect on this Website, and in email, text, and other electronic communications sent through or in connection with this Website. It does not apply to information collected by any third party, including through any application or content that may link to or be accessible from the Website.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect several types of information from and about visitors to our Website:

• Information you provide directly. This includes information you give us when you fill out a contact form, sign up for our newsletter, make a donation, apply for a job, or otherwise correspond with us. This may include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, organization or employer, and payment information (if you make a donation).
• Information collected automatically. As you navigate the Website, we may automatically collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, operating system, and information about your visit, such as the pages you view, links you click, and the dates and times of your visit. We collect this information using cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies, as well as tools such as Google Analytics.
• Information from third parties. If you make a donation through a third-party payment processor, or sign up for our newsletter through a third-party email service, those providers may share limited information with us (such as confirmation that a transaction or signup occurred).

2. How We Use Your Information

In general, we don’t collect or use user-specific information. Information that you voluntarily share may be used:

• To respond to your inquiries, provide information you request, and communicate with you about our work.
• To send newsletters, updates, and other communications you have signed up to receive.
• To process donations and provide donation receipts.
• To evaluate and improve our Website, services, and communications.
• To consider job or consulting applications you submit to us.
• To comply with legal obligations, and to protect the rights, property, and safety of GreenInfo Network, our clients, and others.

3. Client and Project Data

In the course of our GIS, mapping, and technology consulting work, GreenInfo Network may collect, host, or process data on behalf of client organizations and public agencies (for example, geospatial data, survey responses, or other data submitted through client-facing tools we build). That data is governed by the terms of our agreement with the applicable client, not by this Website policy. If you have questions about data collected through a specific GreenInfo-built application or tool, please contact the client organization that commissioned it, or reach out to us and we will direct your inquiry appropriately.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may disclose information we collect:

• To vendors and service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as email delivery, donation processing, website hosting, and analytics (who are permitted to use the information only as necessary to provide these services to us).
• To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including responding to any government or regulatory request.
• To enforce or apply our policies and agreements.
• If we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of GreenInfo Network, our staff, our clients, or others.
• In connection with a merger, sale of organizational assets, or similar transaction (in which case we will notify you of any change in ownership or use of your personal information).

5. Cookies and Analytics

Our Website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to distinguish you from other visitors, help us provide a good experience when you browse our site, and improve the Website. We may use Google Analytics or similar services to understand how visitors use our Website in aggregate. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies; if you disable cookies, some parts of the Website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

6. Data Security

We have implemented reasonable measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our Website is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information promptly.

8. Links to Other Websites

Our Website may contain links to other websites, including those of our clients and partners. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit.

9. Your Choices

You may opt out of receiving our newsletter or other communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in those communications, or by contacting us directly. If you would like to review, correct, or request deletion of personal information you have provided to us, please contact us using the information below.
