We recognize and respect your need for privacy and security as you visit our site. When you visit our site to view any pages, read product information, or use our on-line calculators and tools, you do so without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. While we do not collect identifying information about visitors to our site, we do use standard software to collect information for the strict purpose of tracking activity on our site. This allows us to better understand how many people use our site and which pages and features are most popular. The only information we normally collect and store is:
There are instances where you may elect to provide us with personal information. If you fill out one of our feedback or request forms or send us email, you are transmitting the information that appears to you in the form or the message. This will typically include information like your name, mailing address, email address, the kind of request you are making, and any other information necessary to fulfill your request. You never transmit personally identifying information that you do not enter yourself. And this is always your option; this information cannot be collected unless you specifically elect to send it to us. This information is used internally only for the purpose of fulfilling the request or for contacting you directly and is not given or sold to any other organization.
When you choose to make a purchase from us you will be required to submit personally identifying information via our order forms. This information is used to create your Carbon Footprint Offsetters Certificate and to record the number of credits sold for auditing purposes. It is necessary for us to record each transaction in this manner to meet pending industry regulations. Only the name you choose to provide us to be placed on your Carbon Offset Certicate, the amount of the offset, and the date of purchase are recorded by our servers. All transaction information including your Credit Card or Debit Card information is handled entirely by our Financial Processor (Moneris Solutions Corporation.) via an encrypted authorization form.
We hope you find our website useful and informative and are always willing to answer questions and receive suggestions. If you have either, please e-mail the webmaster at webmaster@offsetco2.ca. Thank you.
* We reserve the right to change our privacy policy. A revised policy statement will only apply to data collected subsequent to its effective date. Any revisions will be posted at least 30 days prior to its effective date.
