As you may know, on May 25th, 2018, the European Union implemented stronger data protection rules that affirm and strengthen the privacy rights of EU citizens. These rules extend to entities based outside the EU, including US-based organizations like ImpactAssets. In addition, the California Consumer Privacy Act took effect in January 1, 2020 to protect the data and privacy of California consumers.
No matter where in the world you are, we want to make sure you know about (and know where to find) ImpactAssets Privacy Policy (below), which details in plain language how we use the information you provide to us via our website and online forms. We recently updated this policy to make clear that you are always welcome to email us at info@impactassets.org to 1) request to review/update your personal information 2) ask us to unsubscribe you from our emails or 3) ask us to completely delete your information from our records.
