Global Recyclers, the owner of this website, has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our deep commitment to the privacy of our site visitors and customers.
As a company, we strictly adhere to all industry guidelines and we continually review our policy and procedures to ensure the safety and protection of our visitor and customer information. Global recyclers has fulfilled the requirements of the 1998 Data Protection Act.
There follows an explanation of our commitment to protecting the privacy of Internet Users.
Information Collection and Use
Global Recyclers, is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others. Global Recyclers collects information from our users at several different points on our website.
Forms
We request information from the user on our registration form. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and address) and possibly financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to complete a customer's order. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track site use, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we Global Recyclers are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as country, postal or zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, the information is protected both online and off-line. When our registration/membership upgrade form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best available encryption software in the industry - SSL in conjuction with worldpay.
While on a secure page, such as our membership upgrade form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just surfing. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our user information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
