Privacy Policy

Introduction

ZeroPact, Inc. (“ZeroPact” or “we”) operates the www.zeropact.co website (the “Website”). In addition, we also operate the ZeroPact application program interface (the “Software”) which you may encounter on the websites of our business-to-business customers (our “B2B Customers”). This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect about you or that you or our B2B Customers may provide to us when you visit the Website or use the Software. It also describes our practices for collecting, using, protecting and disclosing that information.

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect on the Website or through the Software, including information about you that is provided to us by our B2B Customers when you use the Software on such customers’ websites. It does not apply to information collected by us offline or through any other means, including information collected on any other website operated by ZeroPact, its affiliates or any third party. It also does not apply to any other information collected by a third party (including our affiliates) through any means, including information collected through any application or content (other than the Software) that may link to or be accessible from or on the Website.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. By accessing or using the Website or the Software, you agree to our collection, use, protection and disclosure of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not use the Website or the Software. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time, and your continued use of the Website or the Software after we make changes to this Privacy Policy is deemed to be an acceptance of those changes. Please check this Privacy Policy periodically for updates.

Information Collection
Information Provided by You

While using the Website, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”). Such Personal Information may include, but is not limited to, your email address and the username and password created if you register on the Website. We collect such information directly from you when you provide it to us. This includes information that you provide by filling out forms on the Website, such as information provided at the time of registering on the Website or requesting further services or information from us. This also includes records and copies of your correspondence if you contact us. We may also ask you for information when you report a problem with the Website.

If you use the Software, we may collect Personal Information about you, such as your mailing address, or information that is about you but does not individually identify you, such as your zip code. We collect such information directly from you when you provide it to us or from our B2B Customers when you provide such information to them. This includes information that you provide by filling out forms when using the Software, such as information provided to request services from us or from our B2B customers.

Information Collection
Information Collected Automatically

As you navigate through and interact with the Website, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment and browsing actions and patterns. This may include information that your browser sends whenever you visit the Website (“Log Data”), such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, location data, the pages of the Website that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other usage statistics.

The technology we use for this automatic data collection on the Website may include cookies. Cookies are files with a small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and placed on the hard drive of your computer. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. The help feature on most browsers provides information on how to accept cookies, how to disable cookies or how to receive notifications when receiving a new cookie. Please note, however, that if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some features of the Website.

We may also use automatic data collection technology to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (also known as behavioral tracking). Currently, the automatic data collection technology used on the Website does not respond to “Do Not Track” settings and similar mechanisms.

In addition, we may use third-party services, such as Google Analytics, that collect, monitor and analyze usage data on the Website. We may also use remarketing services (or behavioral advertising services) to advertise ZeroPact’s services to you on third-party websites after you have visited the Website. As discussed further below, these third-party service providers have their own privacy policies addressing how they use such information.

When your customer selects to donate to carbon offset projects through ZeroPact within your store, we may send them an email to provide information on the project they donated to. This is only for the sake of transparency. We will NEVER distribute or sell customer email addresses to third parties.

To provide our B2B Customers with information or services in connection with the Software. For example, if you use the Software on a B2B Customer’s website to apply renewable energy credits to such B2B Customer’s shipment of products to you, we will use your provided zip code to calculate the amount of renewable energy credits needed to cover such shipment;
To provide you with notices about your account;
To provide end customers with updates about their carbon offset donations;
