Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals: If you have questions about accessing or correcting your personal data please contact privacy@earth911.com.

Earth911 Inc. (“Earth911”) offers services, features, content, applications and widgets (“Services”). Earth911 stores any information you enter on our Services or provide to us in any other way. When using any of Earth911’s Services you consent to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. Regardless of your country of residence or where you create information from, your information may be used by Earth911 in the United States or any other country where Earth911 operates.

When you use the Services, Earth911 automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser or mobile platform, including but not limited to your location, IP address, cookie information, and the page you requested. We treat this data as non-Personal Information, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law.

We may provide aggregate information to our partners about how our customers, collectively, use our site, so that our partners may also understand how often people use their services and our Service.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Our servers automatically record information (“Log Data”) created by your use of the Services. Log Data may include information such as your IP address, browser type, the referring domain, pages visited, and search terms. Other actions, such as interactions with advertisements, may also be included in Log Data.

You may choose to provide certain information to us, including your name, phone number, address, email address, organization name, title, comments, survey responses and other volunteered information you provide to us.

By providing this information you understand that you may be contacted by email, mail, or phone by Earth911 regarding your information and for marketing purposes. We will not sell or share your information with any outside third party.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Earth911 discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Earth911’s behalf or to provide services available at Earth911’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Earth911’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Earth911 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, Earth911 discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Earth911 believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Earth911, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Earth911 website and have supplied your email address, Earth911 may send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Earth911 and our products. With respect to Earth911’s business operations, we expect to keep this type of email communication to a minimum. 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. Earth911 takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
