Climate Collaboratorium Privacy Policy

The MIT Climate Collaboratorium respects your privacy. We do not collect personally identifiable information about you unless you voluntarily provide it, such as when you provide email contact information to send feedback to us, subscribe to the Collaboratorium newsletter, or respond to a survey. If you voluntarily provide your email address or other contact information, we might also use it to inform you of changes to the Collaboratorium or to survey you about your use or opinion of Collaboratorium. At your request, we will remove your contact information from our files.

We do not make your contact information or any other personally identifiable information available to anyone outside the Collaboratorium or its service providers (who use the information only for authorized Collaboratorium purposes) unless we are legally required to do so.

In addition to the above, we collect certain anonymous (non-personally identifiable) information to help us improve the Collaboratorium site and to evaluate the access and use of Collaboratorium materials and the impact of Collaboratorium.

We collect information you provide about your use of and satisfaction with Collaboratorium through email you send us and through Collaboratorium surveys, whether or not you voluntarily include your contact information.

We may use web analysis tools that are built into the Collaboratorium site to measure and collect anonymous session information.

We also use "cookies" to improve your Collaboratorium web experience and to collect anonymous information about how you use Collaboratorium. However, cookies are not required for Collaboratorium use. If your browser is configured not to accept cookies, you will still be able to access Collaboratorium and its content.

When we report information about Collaboratorium access, use, and impact, we report aggregate, non-personally identifiable data. Occasionally, we report quoted feedback from users. We do not attribute feedback to specific individuals unless we obtain permission to use that person's name along with the feedback.
