Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
Overview
Green Stories LLC respects your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. We do not sell, share, or trade your personal information with any third party.
Data We Collect
We collect information through our project inquiry form. Here is exactly what we collect and why:
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Name, business name, email, phone | Respond to your inquiry |
| Role, project type, scale, municipality, budget, property status, financing, timeline | Qualify project fit before follow-up |
| Project description | Understand scope of work |
| IP address, browser type, referring page | Prevent abuse and identify fraudulent submissions |
| Browser fingerprint (screen resolution, timezone, platform, GPU renderer) | Identify repeat abuse from the same device even with changed IP |
| Mouse movement, click count, scroll depth, field interaction timing | Distinguish human visitors from automated bots |
| Approximate geographic location (city, state, country via IP lookup) | Flag out-of-service-area submissions |
How We Collect It
All data is collected at the time you submit the project inquiry form. We do not track you across other websites. We do not use third-party analytics services (no Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, no tracking scripts). The behavioral and fingerprint data is collected by JavaScript running on the contact page only and is submitted with your form data — it is not collected on any other page of this site.
Cookies
This website uses the following cookies:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| gs-lang | Remembers your language preference (EN/ES/PT) | Persistent (localStorage) |
| gs_ct | Security token to verify the contact form was loaded in a real browser | Session only |
| PHPSESSID | Standard PHP session for CSRF protection on the contact form | Session only |
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or any third-party cookies.
How We Store Your Data
Form submissions are stored in a database on our own web server. The database is not accessible via the web. No data is stored on third-party cloud services. Submission metadata (IP, fingerprint, behavioral scores) is stored alongside your form data in the same database for security auditing purposes.
Data Retention
Successful project inquiries are retained indefinitely as business records. Failed or blocked submissions (spam, bots, rate-limited attempts) are retained for 12 months for security auditing, then deleted.
Who Has Access
Only the principal of Green Stories LLC has access to submitted data. We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your information with any third party. We will disclose information only if required by law or court order.
Third-Party Services
The contact form performs a geographic IP lookup using the ip-api.com free service to determine approximate location. Only your IP address is sent to this service — no other form data. See their privacy policy at ip-api.com/docs/legal.
This website loads fonts from Google Fonts. Google may log font requests. See Google Fonts privacy FAQ.
No other third-party services are used.
Your Rights
You may request:
- A copy of any data we hold about you
- Correction of inaccurate data
- Deletion of your data
Submit requests through our Data Rights Request form or by mail to the address below. We will respond within 30 days.
Children's Privacy
This website is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
