More of The Last Green Valley :: Privacy Policy

We believe that you have a right to know, ahead of time, exactly what information we might collect from you, why we collect it and how we use it.

What Personal Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you choose to provide voluntarily when using The Last Green Valley web site to become a member, make a donation to the organization, or register for a program or event. We may also ask for personal information when you contact the staff in our office. This will allow us to protect your confidentiality by verifying your identity.

When you make a transaction using a credit card, we collect your name, your billing address for the card, the card type, number, and expiration date. We collect this information in order to complete your transaction. We also collect information that allows us to mail necessary information to you, including name, address, and phone number.

• Deliver membership information and member card
• Register you as a member of The Last Green Valley, Inc.
• Bill your credit card for your transaction
• Respond to your inquiries or requests
• Notify you of special events and news, if you choose to receive such notices

When and With Whom We Share Your Personal Information

We never sell or rent your personal information to any parties under any circumstances. We will share personal information only within our organization for limited purposes, including notification of events and news; providing member services; and completing credit card transactions.

Aside from the purposes described above, we will never share your personal information with any parties unless we have your express permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the disclosure is required by law. We may share aggregated demographic and statistical information with our partners. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual.

How We Protect the Security of Your Personal Information

The security of your personal information is very important to us.  Your personal information will be automatically encrypted, or encoded, before it is sent over the Internet.

When you enter a secure portion of our site (which is any page containing any of your personal information), an image of a closed lock or a solid key should appear in the bottom bar of your browser window. If you click on this image, a small popup window displaying site-security information will appear. This certificate guarantees that your personal information is being transmitted in secure (encrypted) form to The Last Green Valley web server, not to some unknown or unauthorized server.
