The Greenbook® Web site at http://www.greenbook.net is produced by Vance
Communication Corporation and Food360º. Food360º
is committed to safeguarding your privacy online. Please read the following
policy to understand how your personal information will be treated as you make
full use of our many offerings. By accessing, browsing or using the Vance Food
Systems Web sites, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to
be bound by this privacy policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this
privacy policy, do not use this Web site. Food360º may, from
time to time, revise this privacy policy. If changes are made to the Privacy
Policy, the date of the change will show next to the Privacy Policy link at the
bottom of the home page. Accordingly, you should check the Update Date to
keep aware of any changes.
Food360º's primary goal in collecting personal information is
to provide you, the user, with a customized experience on our site. This includes
personalization services, interactive communications, online shopping and many
other types of services, most of which are completely free to you. By knowing a
little about you, Food360º is able to deliver more relevant
content and advertisements, and hence, better service to you.
When you are on a Food360º site and are asked for personal
information, you are sharing that information with Food360º
alone, except as noted in the following paragraphs.
Food360º collects information in several ways from our Web
sites. Some personal information is gathered when you register. The more
information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able
to customize your experience. Once you register, you are no longer anonymous to
Food360º, which means you are able to take full advantage of Food360º's many offerings. In addition to registration, we may ask
you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to)
when you enter a sweepstakes, contest or promotion sponsored by the Vance Crop
Division and/or our many partners; when you post a classified ad; when you
submit a listing for a Web site; and when you report a problem with one of our
sites or services. If you contact Food360º, we may keep a record
of that correspondence. Food360º also occasionally asks users to
complete surveys that we use for research purposes.
Keeping your personal financial information private is vitally important to
us. Food360º will never rent or sell your personal credit card
information. Any time we ask for a credit card number, we transmit that credit
card number in an encrypted format.
As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services,
Food360º uses cookies to store and sometimes track information
about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from
a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. By modifying your
browser preferences, you may choose to accept all cookies, be notified when a
cookie is set or reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies, you
will be unable to access certain areas or use certain services available at
this Web site. Generally, we use cookies to:
(1) Remind us of who you are and to access your user information (stored on
our computers) in order to deliver to you a better and more personalized
service. This cookie is set when you register or log on to a Food360º
Web site.
(2) Estimate our audience size, track usage by a registered user versus by
an unregistered user and to help evaluate advertisements based on user
interests and behavior.
(3) Track your progress and number of entries in some of our promotions,
sweepstakes and contests.
(4) Measure certain traffic patterns, which areas of a Food360º
Web site you have visited, and your visiting patterns in the aggregate. We use
this research to understand how our users' habits are similar to or different from
one another, so that we can make each new experience on a Food360º
Web site a better one. We may use this information to better personalize the
content, banners and promotions that you and other users will see on our sites.
Food360º also collects IP addresses for system administration
and to determine aggregate information for our advertisers and/or partners.
Promotions that run on Food360º sites may be sponsored by
companies other than Food360º or may be cosponsored by the Vance
Crop Division and another company. No data collected during a promotion will be
shared with the sponsor.
Please be aware that Food360º partners, advertisers and Web
sites that have links on our site may collect personally identifiable
information about you if you visit their Web sites. The information practices
of those partners, advertisers and Web sites linked to Food360º
are not covered by this privacy policy.
As a general rule, Food360º will not disclose any of your
personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or
under special circumstances, such as in response to (a) requests from local,
state or federal law enforcement officials; (b) any judicial, administrative or
similar proceeding or order, such as a subpoena; or (c) if required by law or
under the circumstances described below.
The following describes some additional ways that your information may be
disclosed:
From time to time, you may receive materials or special offers we send out
for our business partners. If you respond to these notices, the Vance Crop
Division may share your personally identifiable information with them.
Food360º discloses aggregated user statistics in order to
describe our services to current and prospective partners, advertisers and
other third parties, and for other lawful purposes. Food360º may
also disclose personal information in special cases when we have reason to
believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or
bring legal action against someone who may be violating or may be causing
injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the
Food360º's rights or property, other Food360º users, or
anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Food360º
will disclose or access account information in response to (a) requests from
local, state or federal law enforcement officials; (b) any judicial, administrative
or similar proceeding or order, such as a subpoena; or (c) if required by law.
Food360º may disclose or access account information for
administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service
and improve our products and services. Food360º may, from time
to time, send you email regarding our products and services. Only the Vance
Crop Division (or agents working on behalf of Food360º and under
confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings and only if you
indicated that you do not object to these offers. If you do not want to receive
such mailings, simply email us.
Food360º does research on our users' demographics, interests
and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration, during
a promotion, from our server log files or from surveys. We do this to better
understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an
aggregated basis. Food360º may share this aggregated data with
advertisers or business partners.
Food360º is committed to protecting the privacy of children
online. However, we do not collect the age of our users. To that end, we do not
know the age of a person using the sites. Therefore, it is the parent or
guardian’s responsibility to ensure that children only use this site under an
adult’s supervision. At a parent or legal guardian's request, we will delete
the child's personal information and prevent any further collection or use of
such information. Finally, any information we collect for sweepstakes, contest
or promotion will be limited to what is reasonably necessary for participation.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal
information online -- for example on message boards, through email or in chat
areas -- that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you
post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may
receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your
passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible
whenever you are online.
