About
GreenHo.ws is really a simple idea: how to have or make a “green” home in a simple, usually affordable fashion. For the most part, we focus on the house, gadgets, projects, home DIY stuff, but may occasionally stray if a topic seems related in an interesting way.
We are not Sierra Club, Greenpeace, the Green party, or even regular eaters of granola (well, maybe the occasional granola bar). We are skeptical, sometimes stubborn, often cynical, and not associated with one political party (although you may see occasional politcal rants).

Greenho.ws Privacy Policy
This policy covers how Greenho.ws treats personal information that Greenho.ws and associated websites collect and receive. It is Greenho.ws’ policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
Website Visitors
Greenho.ws does not ever share any personal information you may provide to any other parties. Greenho.ws does not sell, lease, or distribute e-mail addresses to others.
Like most website operators, Greenho.ws collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Greenho.ws’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Greenho.ws’ visitors use its website. Occasionally, Greenho.ws may publish aggregated, non-personally-identifying information, reports on trends in the website traffic.
Greenho.ws also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Greenho.ws does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than possibly publishing aggregated, non-personally-identifying information, such as reports on trends in the website traffic.
Greenho.ws uses traffic tracking tools from Google, Performancing, and Feedburner. Privacy policies are available on each provider’s site for Google Analytics, Performancing Metrics, and Feedburner.
Greenho.ws visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Greenho.ws’ websites. This may impact your ability to post comments or otherwise interact with the website.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Greenho.ws discloses potentially personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Greenho.ws believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Greenho.ws, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the Greenho.ws website and have supplied your email address, Greenho.ws may occasionally send you an email to solicit your feedback. We primarily use our our website and our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request or comment, we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Greenho.ws takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Links to Other Sites
Our site may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other websites, and our linking to these websites does not indicate any endorsement of these websites or any affiliation with their providers. You must check the privacy statements of these other websites to understand their policies for collecting and using such information.
Our Policy Toward Children
This site is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with personal information without their consent, he or she should contact us at privacy@greenho.ws.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Greenho.ws may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Greenho.ws’ sole discretion. Greenho.ws encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
Technology
We use Wordpress, which is quite possibly the most amazing blogging software available today (tumblr, blogger, twitter included). Our WordPress Theme is based on a design by Free CSS Templates. They did a great job, and we’ve been customizing it for our needs.
