This Privacy Policy describes what information may be collected via the Center for Energy and Environmental Analysis website (“Website”) and how it may be used. By using this Website, you agree to the collection and use of your information as outlined below.

Collection, Use and Disclosure of Information

We may collect information via this Website in two ways:

• We collect information about you when you choose to provide that information to us, such as when you sign up for a newsletter via this Website or send us a message through a “contact us” feature on this Website. The kinds of information we collect may include your name, your email address, as well as any other information you elect provide.
• When you visit this Website, we may automatically receive and record information from your computer or mobile device. This information allows us to understand how people are navigating and using the Website. The types of information we may collect include, by way of example only, your IP address, browser type, operating system, state or country from which you accessed the Website, software and hardware attributes (including device IDs), referring and exit pages and URLs, the number of clicks, pages viewed, amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time you used the Website, and other similar information. We may use third-party analytics providers and technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, or gifs, to help us collect the data described above. You can change your browser settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether.

We may use the information we collect: (a) for the purposes for which you provided the information, including to send you any newsletter(s) or other communications you have requested, or to respond to your messages; (b) to maintain and improve this Website; (c) for internal research and reporting; (d) for our business operations, including for security and fraud prevention; and (e) to comply with laws and regulations for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others.

If you provide us with your email address, we may add you to our email distribution list. If you wish to stop receiving emails from us, please email [insert email address] or click the unsubscribe link in the email from us.

We may disclose your information: (a) to third parties with your consent, (b) to select third parties that perform services for us to help us run our business (e.g., entities that provide data hosting and storage, help desk software and email services, security, research and analytics, and legal services), (c) with other organizations or business with whom we may collaborate, (d) if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that disclosure is permitted by this Privacy Policy or reasonably necessary or appropriate to comply with legal process, to enforce this Privacy Policy, to respond to your requests, and/or to protect our rights, property, or personal safety, or that of our users and/or the public (including exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection, spam/malware prevention, and similar purposes).

We also may aggregate or de-identify information we collect from you so that it is no longer linked to you or your computer or device, or we may collect information that is already in de-identified form. Our use and disclosure of aggregated or de-identified information is not subject to any restrictions under this Privacy Policy, and we may use and disclose such information for any lawful purpose.

Non-U.S. Visitors

This Website is not intended for individuals located outside of the U.S. If you are a non-U.S. resident, you acknowledge that our collection and processing of personal information is subject to U.S. law, and that any personal information you provide to us shall be processed in the U.S., where the laws and regulations may not provide the same level of data protection rights as in the jurisdiction in which you are located.

Third-Party Websites

This Website may contain links to third-party websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. The collection, use and disclosure of your information will be subject to the privacy policies of those third-party websites, not this Privacy Policy.

Revisions to Policy

We will continue to review this Privacy Policy and we may make changes to the policy from time to time. The date at the bottom of this page indicates the last time changes were made. You should check this page periodically for updates. Your continued use of the Website after any such update will signify that you have read, understood, and accepted the terms of the updated Privacy Policy.
