This privacy statement provides Asia Climate Philanthropy Advisory’s policy regarding the nature, purpose, use, and sharing of any information collected via this website. It also describes how Asia Climate Philanthropy Advisory uses and protects personally identifiable information.

This privacy statement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Asia Climate Philanthropy Advisory relating to the publicly accessible portions of our website. By using our website, you consent to be governed by this privacy statement.

Asia Climate Philanthropy Advisory will not make personal information available to anyone other than our authorised employees, representatives, or service providers where necessary to deliver our work. We will never sell, rent, loan, trade, or lease any personal information collected online or offline.

All personal information shall be kept confidential unless consent has been given by the user, or unless disclosure is required by law.

We collect and temporarily store certain technical information about your visit for website management and security purposes. This information includes:

• Personal information
• Information collected for tracking and customisation via Google Analytics and cookies
• Automatically collected information

You may have the opportunity, via our website or other means, to provide us with personal information about you and your interests. This information may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, organisation, and areas of philanthropic or climate-related interest.

If you choose to share any personal data with us via our website or by email, we may store it and use that information to respond to your enquiries or provide information relevant to your engagement with Asia Climate Philanthropy Advisory.

We use industry-standard practices to review data quality and ensure that the information we hold is accurate and up to date where possible.

We may also store data that you voluntarily provide during Asia Climate Philanthropy Advisory’s events in order to keep you informed of other events, programmes, or opportunities of a similar nature. This may include event registrations, surveys, or other online forms completed in connection with our work.

You may visit our website anonymously. Except as described in this privacy statement, we do not collect identifying data from our visitors.

We do, however, use cookies, which are small computer files that stay on your device and help us understand when and how often you visit our website. Cookies allow us to collect and track general information about website usage. Cookies do not identify individual users, only the device used.

Cookies and similar technologies can make it easier for you to use the website during future visits. Cookies only record which areas of the website have been visited by the device in question, and for how long. This information allows Asia Climate Philanthropy Advisory to understand how our website is being used, assess how well it is working, and make decisions about how to improve it.

Allowing us to create a cookie does not give us access to the rest of your device. We will not use cookies to track your online activity once you leave our website. Cookies are read only by the server that placed them and are unable to execute any code or virus.

There are two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies last only as long as your web browser is open. Once you close your browser, the cookie disappears. Persistent cookies store information on your device for longer periods of time.

Asia Climate Philanthropy Advisory may use both session and persistent cookies. However, at no time is your personal information, whether stored in persistent cookies or elsewhere, shared with third parties who have no right to that information.

If you do not wish to have cookies stored on your device, you can change your web browser settings to refuse them or to notify you when you receive a new cookie. Please refer to your browser instructions to learn more about these functions. Refusing cookies, however, may restrict your use of the website. To enjoy the website in full, we recommend that you leave cookies switched on.

We collect and store certain technical information about your visit for website management and security purposes. This information includes:

• The internet domain from which you access our website
• The IP address from which you access our website
• The type of browser used to access our site
• The operating system used to access our site
• The date and time you access our site
• The URLs of the pages you visit
• If you visited this website from another website, the URL of the referring site

This information is used to help us make our website more useful for you. With this data, we learn about the number of visitors to our website and the types of technology our visitors use.

Except for authorised law enforcement investigations, no attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits. Raw data logs are retained temporarily as required for security and website management purposes only.

We use the personal data you provide:

• To keep you informed of developments linked to our services, programmes, events, or areas of work
• To respond to enquiries you may make
• To evaluate and improve our website
• To conduct surveys
• To comply with applicable legal requirements and industry standards
• To perform auditing, research, and analysis in order to maintain, protect, and improve our services

Should we use data for other purposes, you will be provided with specific notice at the time of collection. We store all data for a maximum period of seven years for evidentiary and administrative purposes, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

We will not make personal information available to anyone other than our authorised employees, representatives, or service providers where necessary to deliver our work. We will not sell, rent, loan, trade, or lease any personal information collected online or offline.

All information shall be kept confidential unless consent has been given by the user, or unless disclosure is required by law.

We engage third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, including but not limited to website and application development, hosting, maintenance, data storage, backup, analytics, and virtual infrastructure services (collectively, “Service Providers”).

To the extent necessary for the performance of such services, these Service Providers may have access to or process personal data on our behalf. In such cases, we ensure that all Service Providers are contractually bound to:

(a) process personal data only in accordance with our documented instructions;

(b) implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised or unlawful access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction;

(c) comply with applicable data protection laws, including the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 of Singapore (“PDPA”); and

(d) not retain, use, or disclose personal data for any purpose other than as necessary to perform services on our behalf.

Where personal data is transferred outside Singapore, we take appropriate steps to ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and that a comparable standard of protection is afforded to the personal data.

We remain responsible for the protection of personal data in our possession or under our control, including personal data processed by our Service Providers on our behalf.

If you receive emails from us, we may also share your information with third-party service providers, for example to send you mailings or manage event registrations.

When we use third-party service providers, we disclose only the personal information necessary to deliver the service. We require these service providers to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes.

We will not release your information to third parties unless you have given consent for us to do so, or unless disclosure is required by law.

We will revise or update this policy if our practices change, or as we develop better ways to keep you informed about them.

Please refer to this page for the latest information and the effective date of any changes. If we decide to change this policy, we will post a new policy on our website and change the date at the bottom.

Changes to the policy shall not apply retroactively.
