Submitting a form does not enroll you in an email marketing list. We do not use contact-form submissions to send unrelated promotional email unless you separately request or consent to such communications.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website, remember privacy or website preferences, understand how the Website is used, maintain security, and prevent spam and abuse.

Cookies are small data files that websites can store on your browser or device. Some cookies may remain on your device after you close your browser, while others expire when your browser session ends.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect the operation of some Website features.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors find and use the Website. Google Analytics may collect information about your use of the Website, including device and browser information, IP-derived information, pages visited, interactions with the Website, and other usage information.

Google processes information collected through Google Analytics to provide analytics services to us. We use this information to understand Website traffic and usage patterns and to improve the Website and our services.

We do not use Google Analytics on this Website for remarketing or to serve third-party personalized advertisements.

You can limit or block Google Analytics through browser settings and other privacy controls. Google also provides a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on for supported browsers.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA to help protect Website forms and other features from spam, fraud, abuse, and automated activity. reCAPTCHA may process technical, device, browser, network, and interaction information as necessary to determine whether Website activity appears to be legitimate or automated.

We use information processed through reCAPTCHA for Website security, fraud prevention, spam prevention, and abuse prevention. Google processes reCAPTCHA customer data on our behalf in connection with providing the reCAPTCHA service.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising and do not use information collected through this Website to serve third-party targeted advertisements.

We may disclose personal information to service providers that perform services on our behalf or help us operate our business and Website. These may include:

• Website hosting and infrastructure providers
• Website development and maintenance providers
• Form-processing and email-delivery providers
• Analytics providers, including Google Analytics
• Security, fraud-prevention, and spam-prevention providers, including Google reCAPTCHA

These providers may receive or process information as necessary to perform services for us.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; protect our rights or property; investigate fraud or misuse; protect the safety of our employees, customers, Website users, or others; or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

If 4th Generation Tree is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, information associated with the business may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

Third-Party Advertising

We do not display third-party advertising on the Website. We do not use the Website to conduct remarketing or cross-context behavioral advertising.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to inquiries, providing requested services, maintaining appropriate business records, complying with legal and regulatory requirements, resolving disputes, and establishing or defending legal claims.

Form submissions, emails, attachments, and other correspondence may be retained as part of our business records for as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes.

Website analytics, server logs, security information, and similar technical data are retained according to our applicable settings and the retention practices of the service providers that process that information on our behalf.

Information may remain in backup systems for a limited period after it is deleted from active systems.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing information electronically is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of personal information.

Your Privacy Choices

You may contact us to ask about personal information you have provided to us or to request that we correct or delete that information. We will respond to appropriate requests in accordance with applicable law and may need to retain certain information when required for legal, security, business-record, or other legitimate purposes.

You may also use your browser settings or other privacy controls to limit cookies and similar technologies. Blocking certain technologies may affect Website functionality.

California Do Not Track and Online Tracking Disclosure

Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting that communicates a visitor’s preference regarding online tracking. There is not a single universally accepted standard governing how all websites should respond to legacy DNT signals. The Website does not currently change its practices in response to a browser’s legacy DNT setting.

As described above, third-party service providers, including Google Analytics, may collect information about your interaction with the Website in connection with providing analytics, security, fraud-prevention, spam-prevention, and related services to us.
