Privacy Policy Statement

Growing Organisations is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy Policy applies to the Growing Organisations Web site and governs data collection and usage. By using the Growing Organisations website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Growing Organisations collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. Growing Organisations also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP or Postal code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favourites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by Growing Organisations. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by Growing Organisations for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Growing Organisations Web site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Growing Organisations’ public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Growing Organisations does not read any of your private online communications.

Growing Organisations encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from Growing Organisations so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. Growing Organisations is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Growing Organisations web site and the Growing Organisations family of Web sites.

Growing Organisations collects and uses your personal information to operate the Growing Organisations Web site and deliver the services you have requested. Growing Organisations also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Growing Organisations and its affiliates. Growing Organisations may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Growing Organisations does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Growing Organisations may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Growing Organisations may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Growing Organisations, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Growing Organisations does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

Growing Organisations keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within Growing Organisations, in order to determine which Growing Organisations services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Growing Organisations to customers whose behaviour indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Growing Organisations Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Growing Organisations or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Growing Organisations; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Growing Organisations, or the public.

The Growing Organisations Web site uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Growing Organisations pages, or register with Growing Organisations site or services, a cookie helps Growing Organisations to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Growing Organisations Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Growing Organisations features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Growing Organisations services or Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

Growing Organisations secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Growing Organisations secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Your business information (such as customer details) is your own and Growing Organisations will not use it for any purpose other than to deliver the services you have requested or approved.

Changes to this Statement

Growing Organisations will occasionally update this Privacy Policy Statement to reflect company and customer feedback. Growing Organisations encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Growing Organisations is protecting your information.
