Privacy Policy
Green Grid Solutions (“Green Grid Solutions,” “we,” “us” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website at ggs.earth (the “Site”), how we use and share it, and the choices you have. By using the Site or contacting us through it, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Information you give us
When you submit one of our forms or email us, we collect the information you choose to provide. On the general contact form this may include your name, email address, location, area of interest, and your message. On the forestry supplier form it may also include your phone number, the name and type of your operation, the materials you can supply, and approximate volume. We only ask for information that helps us respond to your inquiry and route it to the right person on our team.
Information collected automatically
We take a deliberately privacy-minimal approach to understanding how the Site is used. Our own visitor measurement is cookieless and does not store your IP address or any information that identifies you personally. It records only coarse, aggregate signals, such as which page was viewed, general timing, and an approximate area within our local region, so we can gauge interest without tracking individuals. Our hosting provider may separately log standard technical data, such as IP address and browser type, for security and reliability.
Cookies and similar technologies
Our own analytics does not set cookies and does not track you across other websites. Our hosting platform (WordPress.com) may set a small number of essential or functional cookies needed to operate the Site and measure aggregate usage. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings, though some features may not work as intended if you do.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- respond to your inquiries and communicate with you about your interest in the project;
- route forestry and feedstock inquiries to the right people on our team;
- operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
- understand how visitors use the Site in the aggregate;
- protect against fraud, abuse, and security threats; and
- comply with our legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use the information you submit to send unrelated marketing.
How We Share Information
We share personal information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers. We rely on a small set of trusted vendors to run the Site and handle your inquiries: Automattic Inc. (WordPress.com), which provides hosting; Cloudflare, Inc., which receives your form submission at the edge and stores it securely; Resend, which delivers your inquiry to us by email; and Google LLC (Google Workspace), where our team receives and reads that email. These providers process your information on our behalf and are expected to protect it.
- Legal and safety. We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
- Business transfers. If the project or its assets are involved in a financing, transfer, or similar transaction, your information may be transferred as part of it, subject to this Policy.
Data Retention
We keep the information you provide for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and maintain a record of our communications, and thereafter only as long as reasonably necessary for legitimate business or legal purposes. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.
Your Choices and Rights
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you have submitted through the Site. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act or the European Union General Data Protection Regulation. To make a request, email us at info@ggs.earth. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect, including encrypted connections and access controls on the systems that store inquiries. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Links
The Site may link to third-party websites or services that we do not control. This Policy does not apply to those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy practices before providing any information.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for a general and business audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
International Visitors
Green Grid Solutions is based in the United States, and the Site is operated from the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information will be processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your country.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised Policy.
