Privacy Notice
Updated: April 28, 2026
Climate Solutions International, Inc. (CSI), a Delaware corporation, is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.
CSI processes personal information in accordance with the principles and requirements of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We apply GDPR principles including transparency, lawful processing, data minimization, appropriate security safeguards, and respect for individual privacy rights.
Please read the following carefully to understand how CSI uses your personal information and for information about your privacy rights.
This Privacy Notice applies to climatesolutionsintl.com and any other CSI sites, forms, or services, in addition to any event attendance or general interactions with CSI or its representatives (” CSI Services ”). Your use of CSI Services is also governed by our Terms of Use.
When you access CSI Services through an organization such as a government agency or institutional customer, your use of the Services may also be governed by an agreement between CSI and that organization.
1. What personal information do we collect and process?
The personal information we may collect includes name, email address, employer, job title, business address, telephone number, location or any additional information you elect to provide directly to us. In some cases, personal information may also be contained within documents or materials that users upload to CSI Services.
In providing CSI Services, we may also log technical information such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, cookie information, access times and device type.
2. How do we collect personal information?
We obtain personal information from when you provide it directly to us, for example when you engage with our staff, fill in a form on our website, or use CSI Services. We also obtain personal information indirectly from you when you visit our websites, including technical information about your device and browsing such as IP address and your interactions with the sites, and via cookies.
We also receive some personal information about you when you use social logins (see section 4 below).
We may collect your information from publicly available sources, such as your organisation’s or employer’s website (for example, your business contact details including your email address).
3. How and why do we use this personal information?
We may use your personal information in a number of ways, including:
to provide you with services or information that you have requested and to communicate with you in general;
to facilitate your, or your organization’s, participation in CSI’s programs and/ or events – and to administer those programs and events;
to provide you with information about our activities, including CSI events, work and other services;
to analyse and improve our work, including our services and activities and to report on the impact and effectiveness of our work;
for administration purposes including to create an account for you if you register with us; to notify you about changes to CSI Services; to keep CSI Services safe and secure; and to ensure that content is presented in the most effective manner;
for company administration purposes including to satisfy legal obligations which are binding on us (e.g. in relation to tax and law enforcement bodies), for the prevention of fraud or misuse of services, and for the establishment, defence and/ or enforcement of legal claims;
We may provide you separately with specific further information about our use of your personal information (for example if you apply to work at CSI). Also, if we anticipate processing your information in a way that could reasonably be considered outside of what you could reasonably expect, then we will notify you in advance, obtain your consent, where appropriate, or refrain from processing your information in the new way.
We may also analyze how users interact with CSI Services in order to improve the reliability, functionality and effectiveness of those services. Where possible, such analysis is carried out using aggregated or de-identified information.
4. Social logins
Some CSI Services may enable you to register or log-in to your account through a third-party platform such as Google. When you do so, the third-party platform will share some of your (basic account) personal information with us, such as the name and email address you use for your third-party account. We use this personal information to identify you when you log-in and allow you to access CSI Services.
We do not require you to use social log-ins – if you prefer, you can always register or log-in using your email address and creating a CSI account. You can also un-link your social account from your CSI account by updating your settings / preferences with the third-party social log-in provider.
5. What is our lawful basis for using your personal information?
CSI has elected to abide by the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which requires entities to rely on one or more lawful basis to process your personal information. The following are relevant to us:
Where you give consent (for example, to receive our newsletter).
We have entered into a contractual arrangement or taken steps at your request prior to entering into one (with you).
Where necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
If you are under eighteen, please ensure you have the consent of your parent or guardian to share your personal information with CSI.
6. Do we share your personal information with anyone else?
We provide your information to our contractors, suppliers and partners who provide services on our behalf, or with whom we collaborate, to the extent necessary to enable us to provide you CSI Services – provided we are satisfied that they provide sufficient guarantees in respect of safeguarding your personal information and privacy rights, and that we have in place an appropriate agreement with them.
We may also need to disclose your information to local authorities or law enforcement agencies, if required to do so by law, or as expressly permitted under relevant data protection regulations. If we merge or undergo a reorganisation, in doing so we may acquire or transfer personal information as part of that transaction, but your personal information would continue to be used for the same purposes.
7. Security
CSI is committed to keeping your personal information safe and secure. We take appropriate and proportionate measures to ensure that your personal information is kept secure and to prevent its loss, destruction and misuse. We use strict procedure and security features, such as encryption, permission controls, and audit logging, to ensure your data is handled securely. However, you should be aware that the transfer of information over the Internet is not entirely secure and although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal information which is transferred online from or to you.
8. Cookies
Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.
9. Your privacy rights and choices
If we rely on your consent to use your personal information (for example if you sign up for a newsletter and consent to us providing you with marketing information), you can withdraw that consent (including the right to ‘opt–out’ of our using your information for marketing purposes generally) at any time by emailing privacy@climatesolutionsintl.com or by clicking “Unsubscribe” at the bottom of any marketing email.
You also have the following rights:
To request from us access to (including a copy of) your personal information.
To ask us to update your personal information if it is inaccurate (and you can ask us to check if you are unsure)
To ask us to delete your personal information in some cases.
To ask us to restrict processing, if there is disagreement about its accuracy or legitimate usage.
To object to processing where we are (i) relying on the basis of legitimate interests, or (ii) using your personal information for direct marketing or (iii) using your personal information for statistical purposes.
To data portability in certain circumstances – where we are processing your personal information (i) on the basis of your consent, (ii) because the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, and the processing is carried out by automated means, you may ask us to provide it to you or another service provider in a machine-readable format.
To exercise your rights, email privacy@climatesolutionsintl.com. Please note that these rights are subject to exemptions and may only apply in limited circumstances. We may also ask for additional information to confirm your identity and for security purposes before we are able to comply.
If your data is subject to the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint to the Supervisory Authority in your country, if you believe that we have not complied with the requirements of the GDPR with regards to your personal information.
10. How long will we keep your personal information?
In general terms, we will retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and/ or it is used. However, if before that date (i) your personal information is no longer required in connection with such purpose(s), (ii) we are no longer lawfully entitled to process it or (iii) you validly exercise your right of deletion (please see section 9 above), we will remove it from our records at the relevant time.
Where required, in some cases we will keep personal information at least as long as necessary to comply with relevant regulatory or statutory requirements. We will also retain information, when and as long as necessary, to resolve legal disputes.
