1. Privacy policy

We know that by choosing to order products from Green-Ethic you have placed a great deal of trust in us. We also understand that you want the personal information that you share with us to be kept private and secure. Green-Ethic is therefore fully committed to ensuring the privacy of its website visitors. This policy explains how we use the information entrusted to us by you and the procedures that we have put in place to safeguard your privacy whilst you use this website.
When you register with Green-Ethic, we require your contact details (name, address, telephone number and email address). We keep a record of this information in order for us to recognise you as a registered member and, where appropriate, to process the orders you place with us and notify you of their status. Storing these contact details means that you do not need to re-enter this information each time you place an order.
All orders are fulfilled using a third-party service provider with which we will share your contact details so that it can deliver your goods to you. That third-party service provider is bound by a confidential agreement and may not as such use your personal information for any purpose other than delivering your ordered goods to you.
All personal information we receive is used only for the services described on the website in accordance with the terms and conditions outlined by the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL), which grant you the right to access and amend it. We do not sell, share or otherwise provide information on our website visitors for any other purpose.
The accuracy of your personal information depends largely on the information provided by you. Therefore, we ask that you ensure that your personal details are correct at all times and welcome notifications of any changes.

Payment details:
Every care is taken to protect the confidentiality of your payment details. For security reasons, we process payments via the encrypted server of our bank (BNP Paribas) and we have no access to your credit or debit card details at any time. For your peace of mind, all details remain entirely secure throughout the payment process, enabling you to shop with confidence.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at member.service@green-ethic.net

2. Security

Our server is protected by a firewall and antivirus.
Payments are made directly via the processing system of BNP Paribas (the largest banking corporation in France) using the encrypted SSL system, which is the industry standard and among the best software currently available for secure transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information including your debit or credit card number, name and address. This encryption ensures that nothing can be read as it travels over the Internet.
Please note that Green-Ethic is entitled to withdraw from any contract in the event of a suspect transaction.
