Our Privacy Commitment
GREENYARD TRADING has been concerned about our customers and user privacy for many years, long before it became fashionable, politically correct, or legally binding to take such a position. We ask for only the least amount of information necessary, gathering only what we believe is essential for doing business, or for the specific transaction at hand. We let customers know the information we have on them and allow them to opt out of specific engagements. We avoid fundamental conflict of interest between gathering customer information and fueling advertising revenue, and the unavoidable compromises in customer privacy that it brings.
The goal of this policy is to make explicit the information we gather on our customers and users, how we will use it, and how we will not. This policy is unfortunately longer than we would like, but we must unambiguously address all the relevant cases as stipulated by the law. We will try and keep the language simple and direct as much as possible.
We assume that all Users of our website or platforms have carefully read this document and agree to its contents. If someone does not agree with this Policy, they should refrain from using our website, and mobile applications. We reserve the right to change our Policy at any time and inform by using the way as indicated herein. Continued use of our website and mobile applications implies acceptance of the revised Policy.
Our Policy applies to all of the services offered by us and our affiliates, but excludes services that have separate privacy policies that do not incorporate this Policy.
Our Policy does not apply to services offered by other companies or individuals, including products or sites that may be displayed to you in search results, sites that may include our services or other sites linked from our services.
Our Policy may change from time to time. We will post any Policy changes on our website and, if the changes are significant, we may consider providing a more explicit notice (including, for certain services, email notification of Policy changes).
Scope Of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to all GREENYARD TRADING Zoo websites that link the company to it. It also applies to the products and services provided by GREENYARD TRADING through these websites, our mobile applications, and applications posted by GREENYARD TRADING on Sharman’s online marketplace and in other third-party online marketplaces. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of our websites, products or services that have a separate privacy policy.
This Privacy Policy Is Divided Into Three Parts:
This part deals with how GREENYARD TRADING collects and uses information about website visitors, potential customers, users of Sharman’s products and services, and others who contact GREENYARD TRADING through forms or email addresses published on or linked to our websites.
Part II – Information that GREENYARD TRADING processes on your behalf This part deals with how GREENYARD TRADING handles data that you entrust to GREENYARD TRADING when you use our products and services, or when you share any personal or confidential information with us while requesting customer support.
