How personal information is handled when you visit ESG.Observer or contact the Foundation about environmental science, ESG understanding, research and education.
This policy applies to esg.observer, a non-commercial environmental research and educational initiative operated by the Euro-Eurasia Environmental Science & Education Foundation (EEESEF). It should be read alongside our Legal Notice.
ESG.Observer is an initiative of EEESEF, not a separate legal entity. EEESEF is responsible for personal information processed in connection with the website, where it determines the purposes and means of that processing.
ESG.Observer shares educational information on environmental monitoring, resource recovery, emissions, ESG understanding, industrial sustainability and related environmental science. It also directs readers to research and further learning resources.
When you contact us, we may receive your name, organisation, contact details and the information you choose to include in your enquiry or correspondence.
Our hosting and security systems may process limited technical information, such as IP address, browser or device details, access times, requested pages and server logs.
ESG.Observer does not use automated contact forms. Please do not send sensitive personal information in ordinary email enquiries.
We may use personal information to respond to enquiries, communicate about environmental research, ESG understanding or educational matters, operate and secure the website, investigate misuse and meet legal obligations.
Depending on the circumstances, our legal bases under UK GDPR may include legitimate interests, legal obligations or consent where required. Where a particular processing activity requires another legal basis, it will be identified as appropriate.
Website hosting, infrastructure, maintenance and security providers may process technical data on our behalf to deliver and protect ESG.Observer.
We do not sell website visitors' personal information to advertisers or commercial data brokers. Providers should handle personal data under applicable contractual and legal protections.
ESG.Observer is not intended to use advertising or behavioural profiling cookies. Its hosting or website platform may use strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies for essential functionality and security.
If optional analytics, embedded services or other non-essential technologies are introduced, we will review their use and provide information and consent controls where legally required. This policy does not itself confirm which technologies are active on a particular visit.
Hosting or service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where international transfers of personal data are subject to legal safeguards, EEESEF will seek to apply appropriate protections as required by applicable law.
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose, including handling correspondence, website security, institutional records and legal requirements.
EEESEF uses reasonable technical and organisational security measures. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure.
Subject to applicable law and relevant exceptions, you may request access to your personal information, correction, erasure, restriction, portability or object to certain processing. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it.
To make a request, please use the ESG.Observer contact page. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
ESG.Observer links to environmental science publications, research resources, educational materials and third-party websites, including EEESEF.org. Other website operators may apply their own privacy and cookie policies.
We encourage you to review those policies when leaving ESG.Observer.
For privacy enquiries or concerns, please contact EEESEF through the ESG.Observer contact page. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk.
We may update this Privacy Policy as website features, data handling practices or applicable requirements change. The latest version will be published here with an updated date.
