Energy Demand has created this privacy policy to demonstrate our commitment to the privacy of the users of our website. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy, and how we treat personally identifiable information collected from our visitors and users.

This privacy policy covers Energy Demand’s treatment of personally identifiable information collected by Energy Demand through a website owned and operated by Energy Demand Ltd. This privacy policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Energy Demand does not own or control, or of persons that Energy Demand does not employ or manage, including any third-party content contributors bound by contract and any third-party websites to which Energy Demand’s websites link.

You can visit the websites of Energy Demand without revealing any personal information. However, Energy Demand needs certain personal information if you wish to purchase our products, receive the Energy Demand newsletter, or use certain Energy Demand services. Where required, this information may include your personal contact information and/or your company contact information. Energy Demand will use this information to reply to your inquiries, to provide you with requested products and services, to set up your member’s account, and to contact you regarding new products and services. By accessing the services of Energy Demand and voluntarily providing us with the requested personal information, you consent to the collection and use of the information in accordance with this privacy policy.

Energy Demand may disclose your personal information to third parties who work on behalf of Energy Demand to provide products and services requested by you. We will share personal information for these purposes only with third parties whose privacy policies are consistent with ours or who agree to abide by our policies with respect to personal information.

Energy Demand may otherwise disclose your personal information when:

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and click data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our readers as a whole. We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.

If you wish to subscribe to our newsletters, we will use your name and email address to send the newsletter to you. Out of respect for your privacy, we provide you a way to unsubscribe in each newsletter. Please see the ‘unsubscribe’ feature at the bottom of each newsletter. Your email address and registration details are managed and stored in a third party system.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be considered 100% secure. However, your Energy Demand Information is protected for your privacy and security. In certain areas of our websites, as identified on the site, Energy Demand uses industry-standard SSL-encryption to protect data transmissions. We also safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access, through access control procedures, network firewalls and physical security measures. Further, Energy Demand retains your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes identified above or as required by law.

Energy Demand may at any time, without notice to you and in its sole discretion, amend this policy from time to time. Please review this policy periodically. Your continued use of Energy Demand websites after any such amendments signifies your acceptance thereof.
