Greenlight Guru, together with its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Greenlight Guru,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) respects your privacy, and takes the responsibility of protecting the Personal Information (as defined herein) that you provide to us very seriously. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose Personal Information we receive about individuals (collectively, “you” or “users”) using our products and/or services (our “Services”) and/or using our websites or online features (each a “Site” or collectively, our “Sites”).
We have adopted this Privacy Policy to explain what Personal Information may be collected in connection with the use of our Sites and/or Services, the purposes for which we may use that Personal Information, and under what circumstances we may disclose Personal Information to third parties. For purposes of compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), where applicable, we are the Controller of the Personal Information that we receive about you in connection with your use of our Sites and/or Services.
This Privacy Policy also describes your rights, where applicable, and how to exercise them. You may contact us at any time with questions related to our Privacy Policy and the processing of Personal Information and privacy at privacy@greenlight.guru.
This Privacy Policy applies regardless of whether you use our Sites and/or Services via a computer, mobile device, or any other platform or equipment (collectively, your “Equipment”).
A. TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED
We collect the following kinds of information about users:
(1) Personal Information: For purposes of this Privacy Policy, Personal Information means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes any information that may be used to directly identify or contact you, such as your name, address, or phone number. Personal Information also includes information that may be used to indirectly identify you in combination with other readily available information, including by reference, for example, to an online identifier, location data, or an identification number. Certain information may not be Personal Information when standing alone (e.g., your age), but may become so when combined with other information (e.g., your age and address). Personal Information, as defined herein, is intended to cover all information subject to personal data processing and privacy laws applicable to our business.
Examples of Personal Information that we may collect from or about you include, among other things, your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, business contact information, payment information, username and password, demographic information, and any other information that meets the definition of Personal Information provided herein.
(2) Non-Personal Information: For purposes of this Privacy Policy, Non-Personal Information is any information that does not identify an individual, and cannot be used in combination with other readily available information to identify an individual.
(3) Device Information: For purposes of this Privacy Policy, Device Information refers to information that may be automatically collected from devices that you use when visiting or using our Sites. Examples of Device Information that we may collect from or about you include, among other things, IP address, device identifier, cookies, log files, and any other information that may be collected from your devices. Under some circumstances, Device Information may constitute Personal Information (i.e., if it can be combined with other information to identify an individual). However, Device Information does not always constitute Personal Information, and whether it does will depend on the circumstances.

De-Identified Information. We may also share and otherwise process aggregated or de-identified information that does not identify you individually, and such information may be shared with other parties. For example, from time to time, we may collect survey information from you on an aggregate and/or de-identified basis. We also de-identified information for various business purposes, including the creation, marketing, and sale of products and services to our customers and prospective customers. Such information is not traceable to any particular individual and will not be used by a third party to contact you.
