Privacy Policy
Greenpeace believes you have a fundamental right to privacy on the web,
and we work to protect your security online as vigorously as possible.
This policy applies to all the pages hosted on greenpeace.org. It does
not apply to pages hosted by other organisations to which we may link
and whose privacy policies may differ.
We do not collect personally identifiable information on our web site
unless you voluntarily choose to give it to us via this website, email,
a phone call, by signing up as a supporter, or by postal mail. Even
when you choose to give us information, we keep it confidential, and we
bind suppliers who work with us by these conditions as well.
We do not sell or rent web-generated mailing lists or other personally
identifiable information outside Greenpeace.
Greenpeace does not share or otherwise disclose its files to other
organisations. However we may share files amongst national or regional
Greenpeace offices to effectively inform and activate the public to win
campaigns and help raise money to fund our activities.
We do not provide mailing lists to outside agencies unless they agree
to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy.
We will never send you unsolicited materials as a result of
participating in an online action.
If you sign up as a cyberactivist, you may be given the option to
participate in future on-line actions, to receive news of actions
results, to receive a newsletter or further information, or to be
invited to contribute to Greenpeace. You will always be given the
option to decline any or all of those choices.
If you make a donation or join Greenpeace you may be given the option
to participate in on-line actions or to receive a newsletter or further
information. Again, you will always be given the option to decline.
We maintain some records of individuals who contact us for further
information or help in case we need to contact them later or provide
further information to them in the future. However, we do not provide
this information to anyone else unless you give us your permission, and
we do not use this information for other purposes.
Our site is hosted on a variety of servers. Information collected for
fundraising purposes is collected on a server we own and maintain in a
secure environment. Information in our website logs is not personally
identifiable, and we make no attempt to link that information with the
individuals that actually browse the site. The server collects
information about the date and time in which our web site was accessed
and the Internet address of the server from which you linked to our
site. We may also track, anonymously, a user's movement within the
site. We use this data to improve our site performance and to evaluate
traffic statistics, such as the times of day and days of week at which
we see peak traffic, and to assess the relative popularity of different
areas of the site.
A cookie is a tiny element of data that our site can send to your
browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive. Our web site uses
cookies to customise certain options. This small amount of information
does NOT contain any private information stored on your computer. You
may set your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, or to
disable cookies altogether. We do not use cookies to track your content
choices.
Our Donation form page uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): a security
protocol that provides communications privacy over the Internet. The
protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that
is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. It
encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card
number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the information
travels over the Internet. While on a secure page, such as our giving
form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Firefox,
Opera, Netscape Navigator, and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
You can learn more about SSL at:
http://home.netscape.com/security/techbriefs/ssl.html
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we
also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line.
All of your information, not just the sensitive information like a
credit card number, is restricted. Only employees who need the
information to perform a specific job (for example, our donation
officers) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave
their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to
re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, all Greenpeace
employees who handle membership information are kept up-to-date on our
security and privacy practices. Our employees are notified and reminded
about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to
ensure our supporters' information is protected.
If you have any questions about the information we maintain about your
supporter details please contact supporter.services@int.greenpeace.org
By signing up as a cyberactivist or donor, you accept this privacy
policy and authorize Greenpeace to collect, store and process your
information in the ways mentioned above and for the purposes you
submitted it.
Our security measures and this policy are reviewed on a regular basis.
If you have any questions relating to this policy, please address them
