How the information is used
Anonymous data is used in aggregate to better understand visitor preferences

Policy effective October 20, 2004.
Greenbelt Alliance will not sell, trade, or release credit card or banking information. We will only ask for the personal information that we specifically need to process orders or membership donations. Once information is received, we will make our best effort to ensure its security. In communications with our members, we may send routine information in the future by either email or postal mail, unless you specifically requested that we not do so.
We occasionally trade postal addresses with other like-minded organizations. If you would not like to receive information from these organizations, please write us at the address below, email us or call us at (415) 543-6771 and we will add your name to our "Do Not Trade" list. This option is often included in our membership materials. We do not trade phone numbers or email addresses with other organizations for fundraising purposes.
Through Groundspring.org, our on-line donation service, we make every effort to preserve donor and customer privacy. We may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our organization.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to our home page, this privacy statement, and other places we deem appropriate so our donors and customers are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
Policy effective January 27, 2005.
