Usage data: Standard website analytics such as pages visited and time spent on site (collected via cookies — see Section 9).
We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as health data, financial account details, or government ID numbers).
We use your personal data on the following legal bases:
We send our newsletter and company updates to professional contacts — investors, industry practitioners, and organisations — who have a reasonable expectation of hearing from companies operating in the carbon markets space. We have assessed that our business interest in communicating with these professionals is proportionate and does not override their privacy rights. You can object to this use at any time (see Section 7).
We use this basis for:
Where we have obtained your explicit agreement to receive marketing communications (for example, via a sign-up form on our website), we rely on consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
Where we have a contractual relationship with you or your organisation, we process your personal data as necessary to fulfil that contract.

Every newsletter we send includes a clear unsubscribe mechanism. To stop receiving emails from us, simply reply to any email with "Unsubscribe" in the subject line, or email us at team@residualcarbon.com.

We maintain a suppression list of unsubscribed contacts to ensure you are not accidentally re-added in the future.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties.
We may share data with trusted service providers who help us operate our business (for example, email service providers and website hosting). These providers are contractually required to process data only on our instructions and in accordance with applicable data protection law.

Right to restriction: You can ask us to restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances.
Right to object: You can object to our use of your data under legitimate interests at any time. We will stop processing immediately unless we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
Right to data portability: Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you can request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at team@residualcarbon.com. We will respond within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
