Nonpersonally Identifiable Data: Any time you visit the GROUNDSMART® Site, we may gather certain nonpersonally identifiable information regarding the means you use to access our site and where you go on our website. This information may include the type and version of your browser, your service provider, your IP address and any search engine you may have used to locate the site. We may use this information to help diagnose problems with our server, administer the website and compile broad statistical data.

Information Voluntarily Provided: Any information you provide to us (i.e., name, email address, etc.) when you request information, or use any of the other interactive portions of our websites, is maintained on our Web server and internal systems. This information may be used to provide you with information you’ve requested about our company, our products and our services, or to provide you with special notices. You may opt-out of receiving future communications at any time (see Opt-Out Procedures below).

Information Collected from Other Sources: We may in the future receive information about you from other sources. We will maintain any such information in accordance with the standards set forth in this privacy policy.

Disclosure of Personal Information: Information about our website visitors is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We may share your information only as described below and with other interested parties that either are subject to this Privacy Policy or follow practices similar to those described in this Privacy Policy.

Business Partners: We may partner with select retailers and other companies at various times to provide expanded services to our website visitors. As part of such a relationship, we may share with these companies the use of certain interactive website functions. Information provided by our website visitors through the use of such interactive functions may be available to both us and our partners.

Agents: We may use other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf (e.g., administering email services). Such parties only have access to the personal information needed to perform these functions and may not use or store the information for any other purpose. You should not receive unsolicited email messages from agents working on our behalf.

Business Transfers: In the event that we, or substantially all of our assets, are acquired, website visitor information will most likely be one of the transferred assets.

Compliance with Law/Safety: We may disclose specific personal information based on a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply with the law or protect the rights, property or safety of GROUNDSMART® and its Parent Company and owned subsidiaries.

We Make Use of Cookies: We send cookies to your computer and use such cookies as described here. A cookie is a piece of data that identifies you as a unique user. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service and make the service easier to use for our members. We do this by storing user preferences in cookies and by tracking user trends — for example; we use cookies to allow you to automatically log-in to the service after the first user session. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Be aware, however, that some parts of GROUNDSMART.com may not function properly if you refuse cookies.

Notification of Changes: This privacy policy may be revised over time as new features are added to the GROUNDSMART® website and as Internet privacy standards evolve. We will post all changes to this policy on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the policy’s effective date.
