This privacy policy - the Policy - describes Carbon Credit Network privacy practices for our web site located at www.CarbonCreditNetwork.org and related sub domains, including what types of information we might gather and track, how we use the information, and with whom we share the information.
Personal information refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are and can be used to identify, contact or locate you. You can visit our sites without telling us who you are and without revealing any information about yourself. However, personal information is requested for accessing certain portions of our web sites, or for accessing certain services we provide. You may also be sending us your comments or questions, or responding to an online survey. Personal information may include your name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, and other identification and contact information. At times we may also collect certain financial information, like your credit card number, to provide certain services to you.
In addition, when registering with Carbon Credit Network for certain services, we may ask you to choose a security question to answer (such as your mother's maiden name or your pet's name). This required information is necessary for a variety of tasks, such as should we need to issue a new password if you forget or lose your password or contact you should the need arise in administering your account.
We use your personal information for our own business or administrative purposes only, such as to deliver services requested by you, to collect payments, to keep you informed of our services, to provide customer support, to administer our sites and individual accounts, or to analyze the collected information.
Every computer connected to the Internet has a unique number called an Internet Protocol - IP - address. We do not track a specific IP address to identify an individual user. However, we reserve the right to use and disclose such information to identify a user if we reasonably determine that it is necessary to protect our sites, or to comply with legal requirements.
Non-personal information refers to information that does not identify a specific individual by itself or in combination with other information. We might gather certain information about you based on your activities by use of cookies, or other means. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregate basis. Non-personal information may include web site traffic information. When you arrive at or leave our site, we automatically receive the web address of the site that you came from or are going to. We also collect information on which pages of our site you visit while you are on our hosted site, the type of browser you use, your IP address, the times you access our hosted sites, and the time required to download the information you request. We use this information to try to better understand visitor preferences and to manage the load on our servers.
A cookie is an element of data that a web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your system. We sometimes use cookies to collect information from visits to our site to help us provide better and tailored service. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off all cookies. If you do so, however, some areas of some sites may not function properly.
Carbon Credit Network might work with third parties who provide administrative and technical support to us. Personal information, including financial information, may be shared with such third parties in order for us to provide these services to you. We may also disclose personal information in response to legal process, such as a court order or subpoena, or to protect our site, hosted sites, or users of these sites. In the event of a merger, consolidation, or sale or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets or business, one of the assets transferred may include the information we collect about our users.
In addition, we may use a third-party service partner to track the web traffic on our site. The only information gathered by a third-party service partner will be non-personal information. We do not share personal information submitted to our site with non-affiliate third parties.
We use reasonable security procedures and practice to protect the quality and integrity of your personal information. We have implemented physical, technical and organizational measures, such as using encryption for transmission of potentially sensitive information, to help keep your information secure.
