The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to explain why and how we gather, store and process the information you are asked to provide. To fulfil its mission, CCAECI requires information from some visitors to its website. Some of the data collected might, if not secured effectively, allow thieves to access your vital personal information. CCAECI feels strongly that it is imperative to exercise due care with all data you provide, and to do everything within its power to prevent identity theft. If you have any questions about this statement, please contact us at info@ccaeci.org.
Visits and click behaviour
CCAECI gathers general visiting data, for example the computer’s IP address, user name, time of visit and any data that a visitor’s browser provides, for statistical analysis of visits and click behaviour. We also use these data to optimise the operation of this website. We anonymise data as much as possible. This information will not be forwarded to third parties.
Which personal data do we collect and why?
CCAECI gathers, stores, processes and uses information from some of its website visitors. CCAECI will retain these data for 15 years. By entering the CCAECI website to access one of its services — volunteering, donating or signing up for its newsletter — and by providing the required information, you explicitly permit CCAECI to use it in the manner described here.
Volunteers
CCAECI performs extensive research and development in the fields of environmental law, pollution, oceanography, economics, recycling, maritime law and more, and is always looking for volunteers willing to offer their support. Potential volunteers must provide CCAECI with the following data: name, address, email address, telephone number, education, abilities, availability and skills. CCAECI will store and process these data to enable it to contact you about your volunteer role. All data will be treated confidentially.
Google Analytics
CCAECI uses Google Analytics to track how our visitors use our website. The resulting information, including your computer’s IP address, is transferred to Google and stored on its servers in the United States. Google will use this information to provide CCAECI with reports on visitors’ use of the website, and to offer Google’s advertisers information about the effectiveness of their campaigns. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required to do so by law, and third parties can process the information on Google’s behalf.
Third-party services
CCAECI uses third parties to help us provide services such as receiving donations, helping us understand how our services are used, and collecting volunteer contact information. These third-party services may collect information your browser sends as part of a web-page request, such as cookies or your IP address. Third parties may share information with us, such as the cryptographic hash of a common account identifier (for example an email address), or help us measure ad quality and display ads about things you may already have shown an interest in. If you prefer, you can turn off tailored ads in your privacy settings.
Availability and changing of your personal data
You may at all times, and without any cost, access the data you have provided to CCAECI and, if you wish, have these data amended or deleted. You may also decline to receive information by email, telephone, post or SMS. To use one of these options, please give notice in writing to:

You may also send an email to info@ccaeci.org.
Protection of personal data
CCAECI follows appropriate technical and organisational security procedures to ensure that no unauthorised party has access to your personal data, and to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of these data, to the extent that may be expected from CCAECI.
Amendments or changes to this policy
CCAECI reserves the right to amend this page at any time. Please consult it regularly so that you are aware of any changes that may affect your privacy.
