Legitimate interests

Where we rely on legitimate interests, those interests may include developing and operating our business, responding to business enquiries, assessing portfolios, administering participation, maintaining reliable evidence and records, preventing fraud or double counting, securing our systems, improving our services and building appropriate commercial relationships.

We consider whether those interests are necessary and whether they are overridden by the rights and interests of the individuals concerned.

When information is required

Some information is required so that we can respond to an enquiry, assess a portfolio, verify authority, meet programme requirements or perform a contract. If required information is not provided, we may be unable to progress the relevant enquiry, assessment or participation.

Marketing communications

We may send relevant business-to-business communications where permitted by law and where we believe the information is appropriate to the recipient’s professional role. We may also send communications where you have asked to receive them or given consent.

You can opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe option in the message or by emailing info@greenplanetmakers.co.uk. Service, contractual and programme administration messages are not marketing and may still be sent where necessary.

Who we may share personal data with

  • Website, hosting, cloud storage, email, CRM, form, file-transfer, security and IT service providers.

  • Carbon programme administrators, methodology providers, registries and market infrastructure providers where relevant.

  • Independent validators, verifiers, auditors, technical reviewers and other assurance providers.

  • Buyers, offtakers, brokers, marketplaces and transaction counterparties where information is needed to assess or complete a potential transaction.

  • Installers, programme partners, property organisations and other participants involved in the relevant portfolio or project.

  • Professional advisers, including legal, accounting, tax, insurance, banking and corporate-finance advisers.

  • Regulators, courts, law-enforcement bodies, public authorities or other parties where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

  • Potential investors, purchasers or successors in connection with a financing, reorganisation, sale, merger or transfer, subject to appropriate confidentiality and data-protection controls.

We do not sell personal data as a standalone commodity. Carbon credits and associated environmental rights are distinct from personal data.

International transfers

Some service providers or programme counterparties may process personal data outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, we use an appropriate legal mechanism, such as UK adequacy regulations, approved contractual safeguards or another lawful transfer mechanism, and apply additional protections where required.

How long we keep personal data

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to respond to enquiries, assess portfolios, administer contracts and programmes, manage claims or disputes, meet tax and accounting obligations, demonstrate rights and consent, prevent duplicate claims and comply with legal or regulatory requirements.

Retention periods vary according to the record, the status and duration of the relevant programme, legal limitation periods, assurance or registry requirements and whether information is needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. Business and tax records are generally retained for the periods required by applicable law. We securely delete or anonymise information when it is no longer required.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, disclosure or misuse. Access is limited to people and service providers who need the information for authorised purposes.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If you believe information has been sent to us in error or that a security issue has occurred, contact info@greenplanetmakers.co.uk.

Automated decision-making

We do not use solely automated decision-making through the website that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects for individuals. Portfolio assessments and programme decisions may use structured data and calculations, but relevant decisions are subject to human involvement and external programme requirements.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing, portability of information you provided, and withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exemptions. We may need to verify your identity and clarify your request before responding. To exercise a right, email info@greenplanetmakers.co.uk.

Right to object: You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests and to object at any time to the use of your personal data for direct marketing.

Complaints

Please contact us first if you have concerns about how we use personal data. You can email info@greenplanetmakers.co.uk.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority for data protection. Information is available at ico.org.uk.

We may update this notice when our activities, service providers, programme routes or legal requirements change. The current version will be published on this page with its last updated date.
