Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how The Statement Group (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit thegreenest.com (the “Site”). By using the Site you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

Scope

This Policy applies to information collected through the Site, our newsletters, and any related services we provide. It does not apply to information collected by third parties whose websites or services you visit through links on the Site, even if we link to them.

Information we collect

Information you provide directly

Contact details such as your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter, save an article, or contact us.
Account information if you create an account on the Site, including username, password, and profile details you choose to add.
Messages you send us through contact forms, comments, or email.
Survey or feedback responses you choose to share.

Information collected automatically

Device and browser information including IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, and screen resolution.
Usage data such as the pages you visit, time spent on pages, referring URL, exit pages, and clicks.
Approximate location inferred from your IP address (typically city or region level).
Cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookies Policy.

Information from third parties

We may receive information about you from third parties such as analytics providers, advertising partners, and social media platforms when you interact with our content on their services. We treat that information consistently with this Policy.

How we use information

To operate, maintain, and improve the Site.
To deliver newsletters, saved-article notifications, and other communications you have requested.
To respond to your questions, comments, or feedback.
To personalize content and recommendations.
To measure how readers use the Site so we can improve our content and design.
To serve advertising and measure ad performance through our advertising partners.
To detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, or technical issues.
To comply with our legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money. We share information in the following situations:

Service providers. We use third-party vendors who help us operate the Site, including web hosting, content delivery, email delivery, analytics, customer support tools, and security services. These providers process information on our behalf under contractual obligations.
Advertising partners. We work with third-party advertising partners that may serve ads on the Site and use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, and similar technologies to collect information about your interactions with the Site and other sites over time. This information helps deliver more relevant advertising and measure ad performance. Under some US state laws this exchange of information may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. You can opt out as described in the “Your privacy rights” section below.
Affiliate partners. When you click an affiliate link on the Site (for example, a link to a product retailer), the destination site may receive information that you came from thegreenest.com so it can attribute any subsequent purchase. We may earn a commission on qualifying purchases. We aim to disclose affiliate relationships in line with FTC guidance.
Legal and safety. We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is required to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights or property, protect the safety of any person, or investigate fraud.
Business transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you and seek your consent where required by law.
With your consent. We may share information for any other purpose disclosed to you with your consent.

Cookies and tracking technologies

We and our service providers use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, analyze usage, and deliver advertising. For details — including a description of each category of cookie, how to manage cookies in your browser, and how to opt out of advertising cookies — see our Cookies Policy.

Your privacy rights

California residents (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives you the following rights:

Right to know what categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources, the purposes, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
Right to delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
Right to correct inaccurate personal information.
Right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information, including the sharing of personal information with third-party advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Right to limit use of sensitive personal information.
Right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights.

To exercise these rights, email us at [email protected] with the subject line “California Privacy Request.” We may need to verify your identity before responding. You may also designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf.

We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out of “sale” and “sharing” for browser-based requests where the signal is detected.

Other US state residents

Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, and other states with comprehensive consumer privacy laws have rights similar to those described above — typically including the rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out of targeted advertising and the sale of personal information. To exercise your rights, email us at [email protected] with the subject line “State Privacy Request” and include your state of residence.

EU, UK, and EEA residents (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (and equivalent UK and Swiss laws) including:

Access to your personal data;
Rectification of inaccurate data;
Erasure of data we no longer have a lawful basis to process;
Restriction of processing;
Data portability;
Objection to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling for direct marketing;
Withdrawal of consent at any time where processing is based on consent;
Lodging a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

Our legal bases for processing your personal data include consent (for example, for newsletter signups and non-essential cookies), legitimate interests (for example, to operate and improve the Site and to detect fraud), and compliance with legal obligations. To exercise your GDPR rights, email [email protected] with the subject line “GDPR Request.”

Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for users 16 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, please email [email protected] and we will take appropriate steps to delete the information.

Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as needed to provide our services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary by data type and purpose.

Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted over the internet.

International transfers

We are based in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and may be subject to laws different from those of your country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal data from the EEA, UK, and Switzerland.

Third-party links

The Site contains links to third-party websites, including retailers, brand sites, and affiliate destinations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any information.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top. If we make material changes, we will provide additional notice on the Site or via email where appropriate.
