Privacy Policy

The Comprehensive Action for Climate Change Initiative (CACCI) is committed to safeguarding the privacy of personal data. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information when you use our site.

We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this privacy policy. We use your personal information for providing and improving the site. By using the site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

This site collects information automatically through the use of cookies and third-party tracking technologies. We use this information primarily to monitor the use of this site and to better target and create content for our users. While using our site, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. Personally identifiable information (“personal information”) may include, but is not limited to:

COOKIES

“Cookies” are small text files used to collect information about website activity. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device. You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org. This site uses cookies to carry information about your current session at this site from one web page to the next and to identify you on this site on return visits.

You have the option of disabling or not accepting cookies by changing the preferences on your browser. If you opt to disable cookies, you will still be able to use certain sections of our site. However, you will not be able to use any parts of this site that require a login.

THIRD-PARTY TRACKING TECHNOLOGY

This site uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to obtain site usage information, such as users’ Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, internet domain and host names, browser software and the date and time that the site is visited, which may be considered personal data in some jurisdictions. Data from Google Analytics allows us to monitor the use of this site, understand how users find our site, and improve the site’s function and content.

Site usage data collected through Google Analytics is not shared with other Google products and tools. Our use of Google Analytics is in compliance with Google’s Terms of Service. Google provides more information about Google’s privacy practices and information on how to opt out of Google Analytics tracking of your web browsing.

EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

WHAT RIGHTS YOU HAVE OVER YOUR DATA

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

SECURITY

The security of your personal information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

We will disclose your personal information where required to do so by law or subpoena.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update our privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new privacy policy on this page.

You are advised to review this privacy policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this privacy policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
