Welcome to Greenish Guide; a place for the sustainably curious. We’re glad you stopped by and pleased to share a little about our privacy policy.
Your trust matters to us. So does your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the choices you have about your information.
The Short Read
Here’s the short-and-sweet version:
- We keep it simple. We collect the information we need to run Greenish Guide and give you a better experience.
- We use it thoughtfully. That might mean sending you the Greenish goodness you signed up for, understanding what you like to read or making the site work better for you.
- Your information isn’t our product. We don’t sell your personal information. Period.
- You have choices. Want to unsubscribe, update your information or ask us what we have? We’ll make it easy.
Pretty simple. But because privacy deserves more than a short read, the details are below.
The Serious-ish Stuff
This Privacy Policy explains how Greenish Guide (“Greenish Guide,” “we,” “us” or “our”) collects, uses, shares and protects personal information when you visit or interact with greenishguide.com (the “Site”), sign up for our newsletter, communicate with us or otherwise use our services.
“Personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes or could reasonably be linked with you. Depending on where you live, applicable law may use terms such as “personal data” or define personal information somewhat differently.
This Privacy Policy applies only to Greenish Guide. If you follow a link to another website, that website’s privacy practices and policies will apply.
Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you interact with Greenish Guide.
Information You Give Us
You may choose to provide information directly to us. For example:
- your name;
- your email address;
- information you provide when you subscribe to a newsletter or other communication;
- messages, questions or feedback you send us;
- information you submit through forms on the Site; and
- other information you choose to provide.
If Greenish Guide later offers products, services, memberships, accounts or other features that require additional personal information, we will update this Privacy Policy as appropriate.
Information We Collect Automatically
Like most websites, Greenish Guide may collect certain information automatically when you visit the Site. This may include:
- your IP address;
- browser and device type;
- operating system;
- pages you visit and content you interact with;

- referring and exit pages;
- approximate location derived from your IP address; and
- information about how you use and navigate the Site.
We may collect this information through cookies and similar technologies, as described below.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Despite the name, cookies are not, sadly, the chocolate-chip kind. Cookies are small files that websites place on your browser or device. Greenish Guide may use cookies, pixels and similar technologies to:
- make the Site work properly;
- remember preferences;
- understand how readers use the Site;
- support affiliate activity ; and
- deliver or measure relevant advertising
Some cookies may be placed by companies that provide services to us, such as analytics, email, hosting or advertising providers.
Where required by law, we will ask for your consent or provide a way to opt out. Some US state privacy laws also provide rights concerning targeted advertising or activities defined as the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. Where applicable, Greenish Guide will recognize browser-based opt-out signals, including Global Privacy Control.
You can find more information and manage your choices through our Cookie Policy and cookie settings . Blocking certain cookies may affect how some parts of the Site function.
How We Use Information
We use personal information for purposes reasonably related to operating and improving Greenish Guide, including to:
- provide and maintain the Site;
- send newsletters or other communications you have requested;
- respond to your questions, comments or requests;
- understand how visitors use and interact with our content;
- improve our content, Site and reader experience;
- protect the security and integrity of the Site;
- detect or prevent fraud, misuse or other unlawful activity;
- comply with legal obligations; and
- establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.
We may also use information in an aggregated or de-identified form that does not reasonably identify you.
A Little Greenish in Your Inbox
If you sign up for the Greenish Guide newsletter, we’ll use the information you provide—typically your email address and, if you provide it, your name—to send you the content you requested.
That may include Greenish tips, thoughtful reads, planet-friendlier picks, news from Greenish Guide and other content we think our subscribers will enjoy.
We may use an email service provider to help us manage subscriptions and deliver our emails. That provider may process your information on our behalf in order to provide those services.
Changed your mind? No hard feelings. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in our emails.
Even if you unsubscribe from marketing communications, we may still contact you when reasonably necessary for non-marketing purposes, such as responding to a request you sent us or providing legally required notices.
How We Share Information
We do not sell lists of our readers’ personal information for money.
We may, however, share personal information in limited circumstances, including:
Service Providers
We may share information with companies that perform services on our behalf, such as providers of:
- website hosting and technology;
- analytics;
- email and newsletter services;
- payment processing, if applicable;
- security;
- customer support; and
- other services necessary to operate Greenish Guide.
These companies may access personal information as necessary to provide services to us and are expected to handle that information appropriately.
Legal and Safety Reasons
We may disclose information if we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:
- comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request;
- enforce our agreements or policies;
- protect the rights, property or safety of Greenish Guide, our readers or others;
- investigate fraud, security issues or unlawful activity; or
- establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Business Transactions
If Greenish Guide is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets or similar business transaction, personal information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction.
Any successor’s handling of personal information will remain subject to applicable law and the privacy commitments applicable to the information at the time of the transaction.
Aggregated or De-identified Information
We may use or share information that has been aggregated or de-identified so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
Advertising and Technology Partners
We may share information about how you use Greenish Guide, such as cookie identifiers, device and browser information, pages viewed and interactions with content, with selected technology and advertising partners. They may use this information to help us promote content we believe will interest readers and to measure the effectiveness of that promotion.
Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before sharing this information and provide appropriate controls to withdraw consent or opt out.
Advertising and Affiliate Links
Greenish Guide may include advertising, sponsored content or affiliate links.
If you click an advertisement or affiliate link, the link may contain a referral identifier and may direct you through an affiliate network before taking you to the third-party website or service. The affiliate network or third party may receive information associated with the click, such as the referring page, the date and time of the interaction, your IP address, device or browser information, and the referral identifier. This information may be used to attribute purchases or other activity to Greenish Guide.
Your cookie choices on Greenish Guide apply to cookies and similar technologies used on our Site. Cookies and similar technologies that are not strictly necessary will be used only with your consent where required by applicable law. You can review or change your choices through our cookie settings.
Your choices on Greenish Guide do not automatically apply to a third-party website or service. Once you leave Greenish Guide, the third party is responsible for explaining its data practices and providing any privacy or cookie choices available to you under its own privacy policy. Greenish Guide does not control the cookies, technologies or data-processing practices used on third-party websites or services.
Greenish Guide may receive reports from affiliate partners confirming that a purchase or other qualifying action has taken place. These reports may include information needed to attribute the activity and calculate commission. Greenish Guide does not receive your payment card details from the third-party seller.
We take care when selecting advertisements, affiliate partners and links that we believe may be relevant or useful to our readers. However, Greenish Guide does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.
If Greenish Guide earns a commission when you purchase something through an affiliate link, we’ll provide appropriate disclosures where required.
Your Privacy Choices and Rights
We believe your information should come with choices.
Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
- request access to personal information we have about you;
- ask us to correct inaccurate personal information;
- request deletion of certain personal information;
- obtain a copy of certain personal information;
- withdraw consent where we rely on consent;
- opt out of certain uses or disclosures of personal information; and
- appeal a decision we make regarding a privacy request, where applicable.
You may also unsubscribe from Greenish Guide marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in the email.
To make a privacy request, contact us at info@greenishguide.com.
We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights provided by applicable law.
Protecting Your Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
That said, no website, network or method of electronic transmission is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by Greenish Guide.
We encourage you to use appropriate precautions when using the internet and your devices.
How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide our services, maintain appropriate business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
How long we retain particular information may depend on the type of information, why we collected it and applicable legal requirements.
When personal information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete or de-identify it in accordance with our practices and applicable law.
Children’s Privacy
Greenish Guide is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to Greenish Guide, please contact us at info@greenishguide.com.
Links to Other Websites
Part of being sustainably curious is exploring. So Greenish Guide may link to websites, products, services or resources operated by other companies or organizations.
Once you leave Greenish Guide, their rules apply.
We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy, security or content practices of third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
California and Other U.S. State Privacy Rights
Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under applicable state law.
Depending on where you live and whether the relevant law applies to Greenish Guide, those rights may include the ability to request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information; obtain a copy of certain information; or opt out of certain uses of personal information, including targeted advertising or activities legally defined as the sale or sharing of personal information.
You may submit a request by contacting us at info@greenishguide.com or through any privacy request mechanism we make available on the Site.
We will process applicable requests in accordance with the law and may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
International Visitors
Greenish Guide is based in the United States.
If you visit the Site from another country, information you provide to us may be transferred to, processed or stored in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.
Privacy and data protection laws in those countries may differ from the laws where you live.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
Greenish Guide will continue to grow and change, and this Privacy Policy may occasionally need to do the same.
If we update the Policy, we will post the revised version here and update the Last Updated date below.
If we make a material change to how we collect, use or share personal information, we will provide additional notice where required by law.
We encourage you to check this page occasionally so you know how we’re handling your information.

Privacy policies are serious. Asking questions about them shouldn’t be difficult.
