1. Introduction

Green Band ("we," "us," or "our") operates the getgreenbanded.com website and platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal and health-related information. By using our services, you agree to the terms described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: Name, email address, phone number, and login credentials.
• Health Data: STI/STD test results, test dates, testing facility details, and positive status reports submitted voluntarily by you.
• Event & Attendance Data: Event RSVPs, check-in records, and QR code scan logs used for contact tracing purposes.
• Device & Usage Data: IP address, browser type, and basic usage analytics to maintain and improve the platform.

3. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used solely for the following purposes:

• Verifying your STI testing status and generating your Green Band eligibility.
• Facilitating contact tracing when a member voluntarily reports a positive result, so that potentially exposed attendees can be anonymously notified.
• Managing event attendance, QR-code-based check-in, and host verification features.
• Sending you notifications related to your health status or potential exposure.
• Maintaining and improving platform functionality and security.

4. Your Data Will Not Be Sold

We will never sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information or health data to any third party. Your data is not used for advertising targeting, profiling, data brokering, or any purpose beyond the core contact tracing and health verification services described in this policy. No member information — personal, health, or otherwise — is ever shared with or made available to donors, partners, affiliates, or advertisers.

5. Platform Revenue & Commercial Activity

Green Band is free for all members. To sustain the platform and keep it free, we reserve the right to generate revenue through donations, sponsorships, partnerships, affiliate relationships, and other commercial arrangements. These activities may include displaying sponsored content, affiliate links, or partner branding on the platform.

No member data is ever used in connection with these revenue activities. Our commercial partners do not receive, access, or benefit from any personal information or health data submitted by members. Revenue activities are entirely separate from member data and platform functionality.

6. Disclosure of Data

We will not share your personally identifiable information or health data with any third party except in the following limited circumstances:

• Court Order or Legal Process: We may disclose your data if required to do so by a valid court order, subpoena, or other binding legal process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
• Contact Tracing Notifications: When a member reports a positive result, potentially exposed attendees are notified anonymously — the identity of the reporting member is never revealed to other users.
• Service Providers: We may use third-party services (e.g., email delivery, SMS notifications) strictly to operate the platform. These providers are contractually bound to use your data only for the services we engage them to perform.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), secure password hashing, and access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel only.

8. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at info@getgreenbanded.com. Certain data may be retained as required by law or for legitimate record-keeping purposes.

9. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data, subject to legal retention requirements.
• Withdraw consent for optional communications at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@getgreenbanded.com.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
