Greenpeace believes you have a fundamental right to privacy on the web, and we work to protect your security online as vigorously as possible.
This policy governs all pages hosted at www.greenpeace.se,
www.greenpeace.fi, www.greenpeace.dk and www.greenpeace.no. Some of the pages that
appear on these sites may be hosted at greenpeace.org, which has its
own privacy policy very similar to this one. It does not apply to pages
hosted by other organisations to which we may link and whose privacy
policies may differ.
We do not collect personally identifiable information on our
web site unless you voluntarily choose to give it to us via an
electronic mail message, a phone call, by signing up to e-newsletter(s)
from us, or by postal mail. Even when you choose to give us
information, we keep it confidential, and we bind suppliers who work
with us by these conditions as well.
We do not sell or rent web-generated mailing lists or other
personally identifiable information outside Greenpeace. Greenpeace does
not share or otherwise disclose its e-mail address lists to other
organisations. We do not provide mailing lists to outside agencies
unless they agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy.
We will never send you unsolicited materials as a result of participating in a cyberaction.
If you become a supporter of Greenpeace or sign up to our
e-newsletter(s) or participate in an online action such as signing a
petition, sending an e-mail, letter, or fax, you may be given the
option to participate in future online actions, to receive news of
action results, to receive a newsletter or further information, or to
be invited to contribute to Greenpeace.
When participating in an online action, you are not always
anonymous to our target. Corporations and Governments which receive
e-mail or fax communications via our cyberactions will sometimes
respond to your personal e-mail or physical address if you have
provided these. If you believe your private information has been
gathered or disclosed by one of our targets as a result of
participating in a Greenpeace action online, please contact us.
We maintain some records of individuals who contact us for
further information or help in case we need to contact them later or
provide further information to them in the future. However, we do not
provide this information to anyone else unless you give us your
permission, and we do not use this information for other purposes.
Our site is hosted on a variety of servers. Information
collected for fundraising purposes is collected on a server we own and
maintain. The main server is housed with a hosting company whose
privacy policies conform to our own. Information in our website logs is
not personally identifiable, and we make no attempt to link that
information with the individuals that actually browse the site. The
server collects information about the date and time in which our web
site was accessed and the internet address of the server from which you
linked to our site. We may also track, anonymously, a user's movement
within the site. We use this data to improve our site performance and
to evaluate traffic statistics, such as the times of day and days of
week at which we see peak traffic, and to assess the relative
popularity of different areas of the site.
A cookie is a tiny element of data that our site can send to
your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive. Our web site
uses cookies to customise certain options. For example, when you choose
a language we store a unique, anonymous and encrypted amount of data
that allows our servers to keep track of your choice, so you get that
language the next time you return to our site. This small amount of
information does NOT contain any private information stored on your
computer. You may set your web browser to notify you when you receive a
cookie, or to disable cookies altogether. We do not use cookies to
track your content choices. We are committed to providing our
supporters and e-newsletter subscribers with ways of monitoring and
amending the information you provide to us, and are currently
developing the tools to do so.
Our donation form pages on greenpeace.fi, greenpeace.dk and
greenpeace.se use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): a security protocol that
provides communications privacy over the Internet. The protocol allows
client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to
prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. It encrypts all
of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and
address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the
Internet. While on a secure page, such as our giving form, the lock
icon on the bottom of Web broswers such as Opera, Netscape Navigator,
and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to
un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
You can learn more about SSL at:
http://home.netscape.com/security/techbriefs/ssl.html
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 your information, not just the sensitive information
like a bank account or credit card number, is restricted to our
offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (for example, our supporter database and supporter services staff)
are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our
employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave
their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to
re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, all Greenpeace
employees who handle membership information are kept up-to-date on our
security and privacy practices. Our employees are notified and reminded
about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to
ensure our supporters' information is protected.
Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable
information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked door.
If you have any questions about information we maintain about
your supporter details, or any other question related to the above
please contact
