Privacy Policy
About us
Green Living Enterprises is committed to protecting your privacy and safeguarding the personal information in our custody or control. This Privacy Policy tells you how we collect, use, store, transfer and disclose your personal information. By providing your information, you agree to your personal information being processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time.Information we collect
We collect some information which is not attributable to an identifiable individual. For example, when you visit www.greenlivingenterprises.ca (the “Website”), our web server automatically recognizes only your computer's domain name, but not your e-mail address or any other information that identifies you personally. This renders your visit virtually anonymous, unless you volunteer your personal information in connection with your visit. We may also collect anonymous aggregate information on what pages you access or visit. The aggregate information we collect is used for many different purposes in order to serve you better. Among these purposes are to improve the content of the Website, to provide services such as technical support, and to customize the content and/or layout of the Website for each individual visitor.Collection of personal information
From time to time we may also ask you to provide your personal information, including when you visit the Website, or engage with us for promotional purposes. Our collection of personal information is limited to that which is reasonable under the circumstances, and we only collect your personal information with your consent.How we may use your personal information
We use personal information for the purposes stated or implied at the time of collection, including for the following purposes:
- Confirming your identity
- Responding to your inquiries
- To meet the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to us
- Providing you with relevant information of interest
- Marketing of our products and services to you, as well as those of our affiliates and third parties
Anti-spam
Where applicable, we will seek your express consent to contact you, including by way of commercial electronic messages. This consent is sought by Green Living Enterprises and you can contact us at 416-360-0044 or info@green-living.ca. You can unsubscribe at any time from receiving commercial electronic messages by following the instructions in the message.
Even if you have opted out of receiving marketing communications from us, please be aware that we may still contact you for other purposes. For example, we may contact you to provide communications you have consented to receive, regarding the products or services we provide to you, or if you contact us with an inquiry.
Transfers and disclosures of personal information We will not disclose personal information to any external organization without your consent unless we are required or permitted to do so by law, including in the event of a corporate amalgamation, reorganization, change of control or sale.
Your personal information may be stored, processed or otherwise used by us, our affiliates or our service providers, both inside and outside of Canada. As a result, that country's courts, governments or law enforcement agencies could obtain disclosure of your information in accordance with that country's laws. Whenever we work with other organizations to provide support services, they will be required to conform to our privacy standards and to allow us to audit them for compliance.
Security and Retention
We take all reasonable steps to protect the security and confidentiality of your personal information. We protect the personal information within our custody or control with appropriate organizational, technological and physical safeguards.
We store personal information in electronic and physical files that are secure, and our security measures include secure on- and off-site storage, restricted access to records and data processing equipment, password protocols, and encryption and security software. We conduct audits and monitor compliance with our privacy practices.
We only retain personal information for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. When we no longer are required to retain the information, we will destroy, erase, or de-identify the information. Legal requirements, however, may require us to retain some or all of the personal information we hold for a period of time that is longer than that for which we might otherwise hold.
Personal information of children
We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information.
