This Policy also covers Green Value Management’s treatment of any Personal Information that Green Value Management may share with its business partners or other third parties under very limited circumstances.
This Policy does not apply to the general practices and treatment of information by third parties that Green Value Management does not own or control, including but not limited to any third party websites or services that you elect to access through the Website or via a link from the Website (“Third Party Website”), or to individuals that Green Value Management does not manage or control. While we attempt to facilitate access or link to only to those Third-Party Websites that share our respect for your privacy, we cannot take responsibility for the content or privacy policies of those Third-Party Websites. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third-Party Website you access.
Finally, this Policy does not cover any Personal Information you send to Green Value Management via any non-secured mode of communications such as email, instant messenger, or social media, as communications via these methods may be subject to interception, loss, or alteration.

Limited Gathering of Information for Statistical and Security Purposes
Green Value Management may automatically collect certain information using a third-party analytics program, to help us understand how our users use the Website, but none of this information identifies you personally.

Green Value Management may also make use of information gathered for statistical purposes to keep track of the number of visits to the Website and which pages on the Website with a view to introducing improvements and better serving the users of the Website.
