Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address, an email address or other contact information, and responses to the questionnaire for registering your home. In general, you can visit our pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself.
If you choose to provide us with your Personal Information online, we may transfer that Information within GreenPLUS or to GreenPLUS's third-party service providers.
GreenPLUS strives to comply with all applicable laws that are designed to protect your privacy.
