Consent

energyrethinking.org is committed to ensuring the privacy of all visitors. This Privacy Policy governs all pages on the energyrethinking.org website. The energyrethinking.org website may be linked to the websites of other parties, but those other sites may have their own privacy policies which apply to them.

By accessing and/or using the energyrethinking.org website, you consent to and accept the terms of this Privacy Policy. Burson-Marsteller may change the terms of this Privacy Policy from time to time. If such changes are made, we may place notices on the energyrethinking.org website so that you can be aware of them. Your continued access to or use of the website will be on the terms of this Privacy Policy as amended from time to time.

What types of information do we collect and store?

The type and amount of personal data we receive and store depends on how you use the energyrethinking.org website. You can access most of the pages on the website without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal data. Our web servers collect anonymous logs during user visits to the website. This information is used to create aggregate statistics, for example about when energyrethinking.org is accessed, the pages which refer visitors to the website, the type of web browsers visitors use and which pages are viewed. These statistics help us understand how the energyrethinking.org website is used and provide us with valuable information for improving it in the future.

We do not collect personal data (such as your name, address, phone number or e-mail address) on the website unless you choose to provide it. For example, where you express an interest in subscribing to our email updates, or wish to access certain restricted parts of the energyrethinking.org website.

How do we use personal data collected?

Your personal data will be retained by Burson-Marsteller and our service providers in a secure environment, will be kept confidential, and will only be used in the following ways: – In connection with the purposes for which it is submitted; – as otherwise explained on the website; and/or – as necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations.

For example, personal data submitted with an expression of interest in creating an account on the website will only be used to action your expression of interest in creating an account and provide you with information about how to manage your account.

Sharing of your personal data

The personal data you provide will not be sold or rented nor will it be shared with third parties (i.e. parties different from Burson-Marsteller or other cooperating organisations, including The Royal Dutch Shell Group and other partners that may subsequently be added) unless we have your permission, or are required to disclose the personal data by law or in the following circumstances: • Hosting and processing: the energyrethinking.org website is hosted by a third party service provider and therefore any personal details you submit through the website may be processed by that third party service provider. We may also use other third parties to process your personal details. For example, such third parties may process your personal data to action expressions of interest to open an account on the website or to process and forward mailing information on our behalf for users who choose to subscribe to our email updates. All of these third party services providers will process your personal data only on our behalf and will be bound by strict confidentiality conditions.

The disclosure of your personal data discussed above may involve transfer of that information outside of the UK and European Union. Countries outside of the European Union, such as the United States, may not have data privacy laws as strong as those in force in the European Union.
