1. Acknowledgement and acceptance of terms
One Earth is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy
Statement sets forth our current privacy practices with regard to the information we collect when you or your computer interact with our website. By accessing one-earth.com, you acknowledge and fully understand One Earth’s Privacy Statement and freely consent to the information collection and use practices described in this Website Privacy Statement.
2. Participating Merchant Policies
Related services and offerings with links from this website, including
vendor sites, have their own privacy statements that can be viewed by
clicking on the corresponding links within each respective website.
Online merchants and others who participate in One Earth’s services are
encouraged to participate in industry privacy initiatives and to take a
responsible attitude towards consumer privacy. However, since we do not
have direct control over the policies or practices of participating
merchants and other third parties, we are not responsible for the
privacy practices or contents of those sites. We recommend and
encourage that you always review the privacy policies of merchants and
other third parties before you provide any personal information or
complete any transaction with such parties.
3. Information We Collect and How We Use It
One Earth collects certain information from and about its users three
ways: directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.
1. Web Server Logs.
When you visit our Website, we may track information to administer the
site and analyze its usage.
Examples of information we may track
include:
- Your Internet protocol address.
- The kind of browser or computer you use.
- Number of links you click within the site.
- State or country from which you accessed the site.
- Date and time of your visit.
- Name of your Internet service provider.
- Web page you linked to our site from.
- Pages you viewed on the site.
2. Use of Cookies
One Earth may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user
experience. A cookie is a small 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. For example, if you personalize a web page,
or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your
specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the
process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by
providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as
providing personalized functionality.
One Earth reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics
with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place
cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer
value (such as merging into TreeHugger.com a site that relies on
third-party cookies).
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 reject cookies by changing your
browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the
functionality on our Website.
3. Personal Information Users
Visitors to our website can register to purchase services. When you
register, we will request some personal information such as name,
address, email, telephone number or facsimile number, account number
and other relevant information. If you are purchasing a service, we
will request financial information. Any financial information we
collect is used only to bill you for the services you purchased. If you
purchase by credit card, this information may be forwarded to your
credit card provider. For other types of registrations, we will ask for
the relevant information. You may also be asked to disclose personal
information to us so that we can provide assistance and information to
you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide online
technical support and troubleshooting.
- We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect
from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent
necessary including: - To fulfill your service requests for services.
- To protect ourselves from liability,
- To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.
4. Use of Web Beacons or GIF files
One-Earth.com Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web
beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow One
Earth to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver
co-branded services. One Earth may include Web beacons in promotional
e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages
have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service
providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising
campaigns or email communications. These Web beacons may be used by
these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer.
This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time
you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in
relation to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service
providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our
website and how you use the site. One Earth prohibits Web beacons from
being used to collect or access your personal information.
5. Accessing Web Account Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally
identifiable information in your web account file is correct and
current. You may review this information by contacting us by sending an
email to our support attendant –privacy@one-earth.com.
6. Changes to this Statement
One Earth has the discretion to occasionally update this privacy
statement. When we do, we will also revise the “updated” date at the
top of this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review this
privacy statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect
the personal information we collect. Your continued use of the service
constitutes your agreement to this privacy statement and any updates.
