We’re committed to protecting and respecting your privacy and this policy explains when and why we collect personal information about people who contact us, visit our website or interact with us on our external communication platforms (e.g. social media, email), how we use it, where we store it and whether we disclose it to others.</p> <script data-cfasync="false" src="/cdn-cgi/scripts/5c5dd728/cloudflare-static/email-decode.min.js"></script></body> </html> </div> <div class="content__text"> <h3>How do we collect information from you?</h3> <p>We obtain information about you when you correspond with GRI, become a member of one of our governing bodies or networks, share your contact details with a member of GRI over e-mail, at a meeting or event, when you visit our website or if you register to receive our newsletters or a service.</p> </div> <div class="content__text"> <h3>What information is being collected?</h3> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The personal information we collect includes your name, e-mail address, the organization you work for, country and your role title. We process your personal data in our contact relationship management (CRM) system. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Accessing resources on GRI’s website often means registering as a user. Users access services like online newsletters, GRI Services and Products, discussion forums, report registration, E-shop purchases, and specialized information sources.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Users give contact information - such as name, email address and country - and choose a username and password. This information ensures that users get the services they request. In some instances we ask users for their information when accessing our offerings, for example when downloading a GRI Standard. User information collected in this way is used to inform our current and future products and better understand market demands.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">GRI does not share user information with third parties or contact users for any reason other than to provide the information or services requested. Registration is free of charge.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">We also use anonymized data to understand how visitors to our websites are using the sites.

Buckaroo does not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">billing and shipping address.
