Privacy Policy

Why Pave Green provides web-based access to a database of learning resources where the user can search for, locate, download, and comment on resources to aid their learning or teaching process of Storm Water Management.

Each time you use this website, you signify your acceptance of our Privacy Policy. You also signify your acceptance of the Privacy Policy when you submit information to this site. Check often for updates, and especially before submitting personal information, as we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected online through this website (and any other website we expressly tell you this Privacy Policy is applicable to), and does not include information collected by phone or through regular mail, e-mail, or fax.

1. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY.
This website is not intended for use by individuals under 13 years of age. If you are under the age of 13, please get your parent or guardian's permission to visit this site. We will not knowingly collect personal information from any individual outside of this intended audience.

2. THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT.
The information we collect at this site falls into two categories:

  • personal information voluntarily supplied by visitors to the site when the visitor accesses resources, which information may include name, postal address, e-mail address, age, birthdate, phone number, interest in specific events, feedback, statements of support, schedule/availability, consents, and any additional information voluntarily provided; and
  • internal tracking information that is "passively" and anonymously gathered as visitors navigate through our website, using various technologies, such as "cookies" (discussed further below), Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection (such as log files, server logs, and clickstream).

Please note that visitors may also supply information to Affiliated Sites (as described in paragraph 6 below) which may include the above listed personal information, as well as credit card or other financial information. Such personal information will be treated in accordance with the applicable privacy policies on the Affiliated Sites.

E-mail that you send to us may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you not send confidential information such as credit card information, Social Security, driver's license or account numbers to us through an unsecured email.

Please note that any comments or suggestions provided to Why Pave Green shall be deemed non-confidential and non-proprietary. Why Pave Green shall be entitled to use and distribute such comments and suggestions to any other parties and for any purpose, including, but not limited to, developing and improving services and opportunities offered through the Why Pave Green website.

3. USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION.
We may use information collected via this site for a variety of purposes, including providing you with the information and links you request, fulfilling any order you place, providing you with access to our volunteering related pages, contacting you with regard to volunteering opportunities (if applicable), improving the content of our site, for our internal research purposes, and as otherwise consistent with this Privacy Policy and with any further information provided at the point of information collection. If you provide us with your name and your e-mail address, we may e-mail you regarding updates, or send you newsletters or reminders. You have the opportunity to opt-out of receipt of such e-mails from Why Pave Green through a link at the bottom of the e-mail, or by contacting us as discussed below.

Currently, the only situation in which Why Pave Green divulges information about an individual user to a third party is to inform authors of materials within WHY PAVE GREEN about usage and downloads of their items -- and then, only with the user's express consent.

This site contains links to other sites. Why Pave Green is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

We may make full and unrestricted use of any information acquired through this site that is not in personally identifiable form.

Why Pave Green uses information collected by cookies for tracking purposes and to enhance users' experience with the site. We may also use such information to analyze traffic patterns on our site.

5. SECURITY.
We have implemented what we judge to be reasonable and appropriate technical, administrative and physical security measures to protect against unlawful access to or use of the personal information in our possession.
