We respect your privacy and Green Building Africa is committed to protecting it. We will only use the information you supply to us. There are certain very special exceptions to this rule that we detail below in our Privacy Policy. Green Building Africa does not sell customer names to mailing lists or marketing companies.

When An Order Is Placed
The only information we ask is specified on the Green Building Africa Community registration page, the application form (for advertising and service providers) and the order form (when making a purchase). This information includes your name, contact number, delivery address, e-mail address and credit card information if you are making a purchase. In some cases a file download or a comment option can be made. This information is treated with the strictest of confidence and used to process the specific application you have requested e.g. your order so that delivery can be carried out.
In order to personalise your shopping experience, your details will also be included as a member in our exclusive Green Building Africa Community once your specific application is made. It is on this platform that a newsletter is circulated, articles are discussed, notifications are made and specials are announced.
Personal Data Storage
We value confidentiality in all our dealings. As such, whenever you place an order at Green Building Africa or make an application, you’ll be using our secure server, which prevents any unauthorized access.
