Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Climate Jobs National Resource Center (“CJNRC”) collects, uses, and discloses information with respect to your use of the website located at https://www.cjnrc.org, as well as other websites and applications owned and/or operated by CJNRC that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”).

Before you use or submit any information in connection with the Services, carefully review this Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as outlined below. The terms “you” or “user” refer to all individuals and entities accessing the Services for any reason. The terms “us” or “we” refer to CJNRC.

Information We Collect

The information we collect from you and about you depends on how you use the Services and the information you provide to CJNRC. We collect information in three main ways: (1) information you choose to provide to us; (2) information we collect automatically through technology when you use the Services; and (3) information we collect from others.

Information You Provide To Us

We collect information about our users when users choose to provide that information to us. For example, we may collect information from users when they sign up to receive email or text updates from us.  The kinds of information we collect include your name, your email address, your mailing address, and your phone number. We may also collect your social media handles, your preferred language, and any other information you provide to us in connection with your use of the Services. Sometimes you may provide the information to a trusted third party on our behalf instead of directly to us. In such circumstances, the third party’s privacy policy and terms apply as to how it collects and processes the information you provide.

Information that Is Passively and Automatically Collected

When you visit the Services, we may automatically receive and record information from your device. This information allows us to understand how people are navigating and using our Services and how we can improve your experience based on the information we collect. The types of information we may collect include, by way of example only, your IP address, browser type, browser language, operating system, pages viewed, time and date of visit, referring/exit pages, clickstream data, the date and time you used the Services, error logs and other similar information. From your IP address, we may be able to infer your general location (e.g., city and state or postal code).

We may use third-party analytics providers and technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, or scripts, to help us collect the data described above. We use the term “cookie” in the broad sense to include all similar techniques and technologies. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your device when you visit a website that stores certain information about your website usage. For example, cookies enable us to recognize your device; store your preferences and settings; enhance your user experience by delivering content specific to your interests; perform searches and analytics; and assist with security administrative functions.

You can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. If you disable cookies, some functionality of the Services may be impaired.

Information We Collect from Others

We may receive additional information about you from third parties and other sources, such as from public records, marketers, researchers, analysts, social media networks, data aggregators, and other organizations. We may combine this information with information we collect directly from you to derive your possible interests and to provide a more relevant experience for you and to improve the Services.

How We Use Your Information

We may use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • For the purposes for which you provided the information, including to sign you up to receive our email or text updates;
  • To maintain and improve the Services, including:
    • To provide the features and services available through the Services;
    • To improve the content and features of the Services or to develop new services;
    • To administer and troubleshoot the Services.
  • To communicate with you, including:
    • To send you information about your relationship with us;
    • To contact you with information that we believe may be of interest to you;
    • To process and respond to your inquiries or to request your feedback.
  • For internal research and reporting.
  • For our business operations, including for security, fraud prevention, and legal compliance.
  • To comply with laws and regulations for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others.
  • For other purposes for which we seek your consent in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

If you provide us with your email address, we may add you to our email distribution list. If you wish to stop receiving emails from us, please email us at info@cjnrc.org or click the unsubscribe link in the footer of an email from us. Please note that opting out or unsubscribing will not prevent you from receiving communications that are not marketing in nature, such as important notices about changes to our terms and policies.

 When We Disclose Your Information

We may disclose your information to or with third parties under the following circumstances:

  • With Consent. We may disclose your information with your consent.
  • To Service Providers. We may provide access to or disclose your information to select third parties that perform services for us to help us run our organization. These may include, for example, entities that provide help desk software and email services, advertising, security, research and analytics, and legal services.
  • With Collaborators and Other Select Entities. We may disclose your information (except for text messaging opt-in data and consent information) to other entities with whom we may collaborate such as CJNRC Action Fund and state Climate Jobs coalition partners.
  • Protection of CJNRC and Others. CJNRC may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that disclosure is permitted by this Privacy Policy or reasonably necessary or appropriate for any of the following reasons:
    • to comply with legal process;
    • to enforce our legal terms, including this Policy, as well as investigation of potential violations thereof;
    • to respond to your requests for assistance;
    • to respond to claims that our content violates the rights of third parties; and/or
    • to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of CJNRC, its agents and affiliates, users, and the public. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection, spam/malware prevention, and similar purposes.
  • Organizational Transfers. If we participate in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other transfer or reorganization of assets (including in contemplation thereof, e.g., due diligence), we may disclose your information because user information collected through the Services may be among the transferred assets.
  • Aggregated Data. We may disclose aggregated and de-identified information.

How We Protect Your Information

We are committed to protecting your information. We have implemented reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your information. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect and store. However, we cannot and do not guarantee that these measures will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose your information because, despite our efforts, no Internet and/or other electronic transmissions can be completely secure.

Retention of Your Information

We retain information for different lengths of time, depending on the purposes for which we collect and use the information. We may delete or de-identify information when it is no longer needed to fulfill these purposes, unless a longer retention period is required to comply with applicable laws. If there are technical or other reasons why we are unable to fully delete or de-identify your information, we will take reasonable measures to prevent further processing of your information.

 Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

The laws in some jurisdictions require that website operators tell you about the legal grounds they rely on to use or disclose your information. To the extent those laws apply, our legal grounds for processing your information are as follows:

  • Where use of your information is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others (for example, to provide security for our Services; to provide the services we provide through our Services; to defend our legal rights; to analyze the use of our Services; to improve our services);
  • Where we have a reason to process the information in accordance with applicable law;
  • Where we have your consent to engage in a particular type of processing activity.

Online Analytics

We may use third-party web analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics) in connection with the Services to collect and analyze the information discussed above, and to engage in auditing, research, or reporting. The information (including your IP address) collected by various analytics technologies described in the “Information that Is Passively and Automatically Collected” section will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Services, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive, analyzing usage trends, assisting with fraud prevention, and providing certain features to you. Information about how Google uses information collected from sites that use its services is located at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Privacy Rights

Individuals in some jurisdictions have certain legal rights with respect to their information. They can request, among other potential rights, that we (i) provide access to and/or a copy of certain information that we hold about them, (ii) update information that is incorrect, (iii) delete certain information that we hold about them, (iv) restrict the way we process and disclose certain information, and (v) revoke consent for the processing of their information. To exercise these rights, please email us at privacy@cjnrc.org with the nature of your request. We will consider all requests and will provide a response within the time period set by applicable law. Please be aware that certain information may be exempt from such requests. In addition, we may ask that you provide us with information necessary for us to confirm your identity before responding to your request.

Information Sales/Processing for Online Targeted Advertising

Under the laws in certain U.S. states, you may also have the right to opt out of our processing or disclosure of your information for online targeted advertising purposes. Note that certain state laws also allow you to opt out of the “sale” of your information to third parties in exchange for valuable consideration. We may use analytics and online advertising tools that result in the disclosure of your information to third parties and that are subject to this opt out right.  You may opt-out from these activities as explained above in the sections above entitled “Online Analytics” and “Online Advertising.”

 Children’s Privacy

The Services are intended for general audiences and are not directed at children. If we become aware that we have collected information without legally valid parental consent from children under an age where such consent is required under applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as possible.

 Third-Party Links and Websites

The Services may contain links to third-party websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. The collection, use and disclosure of your information will be subject to the privacy policies of those third-party websites, not this Privacy Policy. Therefore, we encourage our users to be aware when they leave our Services and to read the privacy policies of every site they visit that collects their information.

Revisions to Privacy Policy

We will continue to review this Privacy Policy and we may make changes to the Policy from time to time. The date at the bottom of this page indicates the last time changes were made. You should check this page periodically for updates. If we make material changes to this Policy, we will provide you with notice as required by law. Your continued use of the Services will signify that you have read, understood, and accepted the terms of the updated Privacy Policy.

Contact Us

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or if you wish to exercise your rights, you can contact us by emailing us at privacy@cjnrc.org or send a letter to us at 350 W 31st Street, Floor 8, New York, NY 10001-2797.

IN NO EVENT SHALL CJNRC OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM ANY (I) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES, (II) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES, (III) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SECURE SERVERS AND/OR ANY AND ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION AND/OR FINANCIAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN, (IV) ANY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM THE SERVICES, (IV) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE, THAT MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH THE SERVICES BY ANY THIRD PARTY, AND/OR (V) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF ANYTHING POSTED, EMAILED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Exclusions and Limitations

THE FOREGOING WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you. If you are a New Jersey resident, or a resident of another state that permits the exclusion of these warranties and liabilities, then the limitations above specifically do apply to you.
