This policy explains what information we collect when you use The Ecohome Network’s sites, services, mobile applications, products, and content (“Services”). It also has information about how we store, use, transfer, and delete that information. Our aim is not just to comply with privacy law. It’s to earn our Visitor’s trust.
Information We Collect & How We Use It
我们在生态家庭网络所做的跟踪是为了使我们的产品尽可能地工作。这包括基本的产品功能，如允许我们的计量付费墙工作，以及关键功能，如根据我们认为你会喜欢的内容个性化你看到的帖子。因此，为了让您在使用生态之家网络时获得最佳体验，我们从您与我们服务的互动中收集信息。其中一些信息，您主动告诉我们(如您的电子邮件地址，我们用来跟踪您的帐户或与您沟通)。其他信息，我们根据您在使用生态家园网络时采取的行动收集，如您查看的页面(包括给定页面的多少和多长时间)和您使用的产品功能(如保存到生态家园网络，突出显示，跟踪，分享和喜欢)。这些信息包括这些交互的记录、您的Internet协议地址、关于您的设备的信息(例如设备或浏览器类型)和推荐信息(您如何到达某个特定页面)。
We use this information to:
- provide, test, improve, promote and personalize the Services
- fight spam and other forms of abuse
- generate aggregate, non-identifying information about how people use the Services
When you create your Ecohome Network account, and authenticate with a third-party service (like Twitter, Facebook, Apple or Google amongst others) we may collect, store, and periodically update information associated with that third-party account, such as your lists of friends or followers. We will never publish something through one of your third-party accounts without your express permission.
Information Disclosure
The Ecohome Network won’t sell information about you to a third-party.
在某些情况下，我们可能会向第三方转让您的账户信息，包括:(1)经您同意或根据特定要求;(2)提供给符合我们数据保护标准的服务供应商、产品供应商或合作伙伴;(3)与学术或非营利研究人员合作，采用聚合、匿名化或匿名化;(4)当我们有善意的信念认为法律要求我们这样做，例如根据传票或其他法律程序;(5)当我们有一个良好的信念，这样做将有助于防止对某人的迫在眉睫的伤害。
If we are going to share your information in response to legal process, we’ll give you notice so you can challenge it (for example by seeking court intervention), unless we’re prohibited by law or believe doing so may endanger others or cause illegal conduct. We will object to legal requests for information about users of our services that we believe are improper.
Public Data
Search engines may index your Ecohome Network user profile page, public interactions (such as likes, shares or highlights), and post pages, such that people may find these pages when searching against your name online. Users may also share links to your content on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter or others.
Data Storage
The Ecohome Network may use third-party vendors and hosting partners for hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology we need to run The Ecohome Network. We maintain two main types of logs: server logs and event logs. By using the Services, you authorize The Ecohome Network to transfer, store, and use your information in Canada, the United States and any other country where we operate or prepare to operate.
Third-Party Embeds
Some of the content that you see displayed on The Ecohome Network is not hosted by The Ecohome Network. These “embeds” are hosted by a third-party and embedded in a The Ecohome Network page, so that it appears to be part of that page. For example: YouTube or Vimeo videos, Imgur or Giphy gifs, SoundCloud audio files, Twitter tweets, GitHub code snippets, or Scribd documents etc that appear within Ecohome Network posts. These files may well send data to the hosted site just as if you were visiting that site directly (for example, when you load a Ecohome Network post page with a YouTube video embedded in it, that video appears because of a pointer to files hosted by YouTube, and in turn YouTube receives data about your activity, such as your IP address and how much of the video you watch).
生态家庭网络不能控制第三方在这种情况下收集什么数据，或者他们最终用这些数据做什么。因此，Ecohome网络上的第三方嵌入不受本隐私政策的保护。它们受第三方服务的隐私政策的保护(因此，当你观看嵌入在Ecohome网络帖子中的YouTube视频时，关于你与视频互动的数据的使用将受YouTube的隐私政策的保护)。
一些嵌入可能会要求你的个人信息，如提交你的电子邮件地址，通过一个表单链接到从生态之家网络的帖子。我们尽最大努力让“不良行为者”远离生态家园网络网站。但是，如果您选择将您的信息以这种方式提交给第三方，我们不知道他们会如何处理这些信息。如上所述，他们的行为不在本隐私政策的范围内。因此，当您在生态家园网络上看到嵌入式表格，要求您的电子邮件地址或任何其他个人信息时，请小心。确保你了解你要向谁提交你的信息，以及他们说他们打算用这些信息做什么。我们建议您不要通过嵌入的表格向任何第三方提交您的电子邮件地址或其他个人信息，除非您确定他们的意图。
When posting on The Ecohome Network, you may not embed a form that allows submission of personal information by users. You must link offsite to a page that allows such submissions by users, and that page’s appearance must be distinct enough from The Ecohome Network to ensure it does not cause confusion among users over to whom they are submitting personal information. Failure to do so may lead The Ecohome Network to disable the post or take other action to limit or disable your account.
Tracking & Cookies
We use browser cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you return to our Services. We use them in various ways, for example to log you in, remember your preferences (such as default language), evaluate email effectiveness, allow our paywall and meter to function, and personalize content and other services. Without cookies, our metered paywall would not work, so they are necessary to The Ecohome Network’s basic and or future functionality.
The Ecohome Network saves data about the page URLs you may save to The Ecohome Network (an optional feature that you may choose to use or decline to use), but we do not otherwise track your visits or activities off The Ecohome Network Services. We track your interactions within The Ecohome Network Services (which encompasses The Ecohome Network custom domains hosted by The Ecohome Network, and your interactions with mobile applications).
Some third-party services that we use to provide the Service, such as but not entirely or exclusivelyGoogle Analytics,AdRoll’s Privacy Policy,Hubspot,Microsoft Power BI,Google 360,Amazon等可能会把自己的cookie在您的浏览器。本隐私政策仅涵盖Ecohome网络对cookie的使用，不包括第三方对cookie的使用。
Modifying or Deleting Your Personal Information
If you have an Ecohome Network account, you can access, modify or export your personal information, or delete your account by simple email to[email protected]
To protect information from accidental or malicious destruction, we may maintain residual copies for a time period (generally several weeks). But, if you delete your account, your information and content will be unrecoverable after that time. The Ecohome Network may preserve and maintain copies of your information beyond this time period when required to do so by law or if in an archived format for potential data recovery purposes.
Data Security
We use encryption (HTTPS/TLS) to protect data transmitted to and from our site. However, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, so we can’t guarantee security. You use the Service at your own risk, and you’re responsible for taking reasonable measures to secure your account.
Business Transfers
如果我们涉及合并、收购、破产、重组或资产出售，导致您的信息将被转移或受制于不同的隐私政策，我们将提前通知您，以便您可以在转移前删除您的帐户，选择退出任何此类新政策。
Email from The Ecohome Network
Sometimes we’ll send you emails about your account, service changes or new policies. You can’t opt out of this type of “transactional” email (unless you delete your account). But, you can opt out of non-administrative emails such as digests, newsletters, and activity notifications through your account’s settings page.
When you interact with an email sent from The Ecohome Network (such as opening an email or clicking on a specific link in an email), we may receive, log, analyze, save or use information about that interaction.
我们不会通过电子邮件询问您的密码或其他帐户信息。If you receive such an email, please forward it to us at[email protected]所以我们可以进行调查。
Changes to this Policy
The Ecohome Network may periodically update this Policy. We’ll notify you about significant changes to it. This page is always the most current version of the policy.

Legal Bases
In order to provide the Services, The Ecohome Network collects and stores personal data about its users to fulfill its contractual obligations to users as described in ourTerms of Serviceand to Members as described in ourMembership T & C’s.
如上文所述，生态之家网络还通过收集尽可能少的注销用户数据来提供服务，以追求其合法利益。这些合法的利益不会超过(也不会侵犯)我们用户的隐私利益，因为我们为这些目的收集了最少的用户数据，而且我们对这些活动是完全透明的。
Where The Ecohome Network collects and stores personal data about non-users mentioned in user-generated content, it does so under performance of contract obligations to users who use the Services to publish content on web sites hosted by The Ecohome Network. In such cases, users authoring such user-generated content containing personal data of third parties are responsible for that content. The Ecohome Network will consider related complaints in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation’s rights of the data subject, as well as rights of expression and access to information.
Public Nature of Personal Data
已登录的用户可以选择通过点赞帖子、突出帖子的部分内容、关注其他用户账户、在相关社交媒体账户上分享链接或撰写原创帖子等方式与服务进行公开互动。如果此类个人数据可能透露特殊类别受保护的数据，则会在用户明确公开的基础上对其进行处理。关于这种处理的潜在后果的更多信息见下文。如果您不同意这种公开使用，请不要创建帐户或使用服务的这些功能。
Search engines may index your Ecohome Network user profile page, public interactions (such as likes, shares or highlights), and post pages. Users may also share links to your content on social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter.

- Analytics
- Communication & Support

Payment Processors
The Ecohome Network provides Services in conjunction with several payment processors, including: Stripe, PayPal, Google Play, and Apple Pay amongst others, through which users may pay for The Ecohome Network services or receive payment based on participation in our Partner program. Those companies acting as payment processors may collect and store personal data related to your billing information and history in order to provide their services and may collect and store personal data and business data to prevent fraud and other abuse.
If you delete your Ecohome Network account, The Ecohome Network deletes your visible personal data as explained in this policy. However, to delete your payment or billing information, you will need to do so with your payment provider, as The Ecohome Network only has minimal secure access to those records as needed to provide the Services.
Use of Algorithms to Personalize User Experience
The Ecohome Network collects and stores personal data about its users to customize their reading experience by displaying content and eventually advertising tailored to the preferences and interests indicated by the users (including through their reading history and Services interactions). This does not constitute automated decision-making as that phrase is used in the GDPR because it does not produce any legal effects or similarly significant effects for users. The Ecohome Network also moderates content for the purposes of fighting and preventing spam, fraud, and other forms of abuse, and may rely on algorithms as part of doing so.
Potential Consequences of Processing
通过在生态家园网络上创建和使用一个帐户，用户可以公开自己的某些个人数据，并通过他们的个人资料和网络互动让其他人访问。在某些情况下，这可能构成用户明显公开的特殊类别受保护数据。
Due to the public nature of information posted to The Ecohome Network, it may be possible for third parties to derive identifying personal data from posts, whether by reading, inference, supplemental research, or automated extraction and analysis.
Users are free to use their real name and information, or potentially a pseudonym of their choosing, for their account. Users may also choose to use the service without posting data or engaging in network interactions. However, if you do not agree with and accept the risks of such usage, you may not use the Services.
Cross-border Transfers
The Ecohome Network is hosted virtually in the United States, Canada, in Europe and in the Southern Hemisphere. By using the Services, you authorize The Ecohome Network to transfer, store, and use your information in all countries where we operate. Where your data is disclosed to our processors, it is subject by contract to at least the same level of data protection as that set out in this statement.
Retention
The Ecohome Network retains accessible personal data associated with your account for the lifetime of your account. If you would like to delete your personal information, you can delete your account at any time. Deleted account profile pages will yield an error 404 “file not found” page, immediately upon initiating deletion, and will become unrecoverable in our system after a period of thirty days. It may take several additional days for your personal data to be de-indexed from search engines, depending on those search engines’ practices, over which The Ecohome Network may have limited or no control.
To delete your payment or billing information, you will need to do so with your payment provider, as The Ecohome Network only has minimal secure access to those records as needed to provide the Services.

- If you sign up for a Ecohome Network account, you may at any time request an export of your logged personal information.
- 您可以在帐户设置页面和自定义兴趣页面更正与您的帐户相关的信息，以更新您的兴趣。

- You may object at any time to the use of your personal data by contacting[email protected]. If your complaint relates to alleged misuse of your personal data by a third party, it may result in suspension of that post or account in keeping with relevant law, public interest, our contractual obligations, and the rights of expression and access to information of others.
- Under EU law you have the right to lodge a complaint regarding the processing of your personal data by The Ecohome Network with the dedicated Supervisory Authority of your EU member state.
