Privacy Policy

Introduction

Carbon Advisors ("Carbon," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website or request access to our platform, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using our website, you agree to the practices described here.

This policy applies to Carbon's website and related services. It does not apply to third-party websites we link to, which have their own privacy practices.

Information We Collect

Information you give us

When you submit a "Request Access" form, contact us, or otherwise communicate with Carbon, we collect the information you choose to provide. This typically includes your name, business email address, company, role, and any details you share about your interest in Carbon's services.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our website, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information through cookies and similar technologies. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, links clicked, the referring website, and the dates and times of your visits.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18. Carbon's services are intended for businesses and the professionals who represent them.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your requests, including evaluating and processing access requests
• Communicate with you about Carbon's services, engagements, and relevant updates
• Operate, maintain, and improve our website and services
• Understand how visitors use our website so we can make it more effective
• Send marketing and informational communications, where permitted, which you can opt out of at any time
• Protect the security and integrity of our website, and detect and prevent fraud or misuse
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, analyze traffic, and measure the performance of our communications. These fall into a few categories:

Analytics

We use analytics services, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors interact with our website. These services help us see which pages are visited and how the site is performing.

Advertising and retargeting

We use advertising technologies from third parties, including LinkedIn and Meta, that place cookies or pixels on your device. These allow us to measure the effectiveness of our outreach and to show Carbon content to relevant audiences on those platforms. Under some state privacy laws, this kind of activity may be considered "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising, even though Carbon does not sell your information for money. See "Your privacy rights" below for how to opt out.

Email engagement

Our email marketing tools may use tracking technologies to tell us whether messages were opened or links were clicked, so we can understand what is useful to our audience.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Some features of the website may not function properly if you disable cookies. Many advertising platforms also offer their own opt-out tools, and you can use industry opt-out pages such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) and the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org).

How We Share Information

Carbon does not sell your personal information for money. We share information only in the following circumstances:

Service providers

We share information with vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, analytics, email delivery, and advertising. These providers are permitted to use the information only to provide services to Carbon.

Advertising partners

As described above, advertising and analytics partners may receive information through cookies and pixels on our website.

Legal and protective reasons

We may disclose information when required by law, in response to legal process, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Carbon, our clients, or others.

Business transfers

If Carbon is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.

We do not share the confidential details of any client engagement or marketplace activity through this website. Information you share with us in the course of an engagement is governed by the terms of that engagement, not solely by this policy.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information. California residents, under the California Consumer Privacy Act, have the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose
• Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions
• Opt out of the "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising
• Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below. We will verify your request before responding, and we will not charge you for making a reasonable request. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.

To opt out of advertising-related sharing, you can adjust your cookie settings, use the industry opt-out tools listed above, or contact us directly.

Data Retention and Security

We retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to maintain our business relationship with you, and to comply with our legal obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to other websites and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be reflected on this page, and your continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
