Privacy Policy

Thank you for choosing to be part of our community at Himmelfarb Sustainability Consulting (hereafter, “Website”, “Site”, “Company”, “we”, “us,” “our”). Protecting your personal information is of utmost importance to us. If you have any questions, comments or concerns after reviewing this Privacy Policy, please contact us at info@himmelfarb.com.

When you visit and use (register, answer surveys, fill out a form, and contact us through a form) our Website and services, this means you trust us with your personal information. Therefore, this Privacy Policy describes how we use the information we collect from you when you use our Website and services and what rights you have in relation to your information.

If you disagree with any terms in this Privacy Policy, please discontinue your use of our Site and services.

This Privacy Policy applies to all the information collected through your use of our Website and services and other third-party tools. By using our Website and/or services, or by clicking “Agree” or “Accept” to the Terms of Use when this option is explicitly made available to you, you acknowledge, accept, and agree to be bound by the Privacy Policy terms and to abide by them.

1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Personal Information You Disclose to Us
During your visit and use of our Website and services, we collect certain data that you provide to us when you fill out opt-in forms, contact forms, and surveys, when you purchase products and/or services, and when you enter your information for events, giveaways and/or competitions.

The personal information that you provide to us can be your name, email address, location, and occupation. Moreover, if you are purchasing products or signing up for paid events, then you are also providing us with payment and address information. (However, your payment information is not stored in our system because purchases are processed through payment processors.) Therefore, should you have any questions about payment activities and/or information, contact the specific payment processor directly.

Your Rights If Outside the European Union (“EU”)
If you are outside of the EU and enter your information to receive a freebie, make a purchase, respond to a survey, register for a free training, or participate in a webinar, then we will automatically enroll you to receive future communications. If you do not wish to receive any communications from us, you can opt-out by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link located at the bottom of the emails.

Your Rights If Inside the European Union
If you are inside the EU and opt to receive a freebie or participate in a free training, register for a webinar or live event, or purchase a product, your email address will not be added to the email list to receive future communications, unless you affirmatively consent to it. If you change your mind at any point and do not want to receive electronic communications, simply unsubscribe.

If you have trouble unsubscribing by clicking the link at the bottom of an email or do not see an “Unsubscribe” link, please email us at info@himmelfarb.com and request to be unsubscribed from future emails.

Visitors’ Rights Under GDPR
As someone who resides in the European Union, you are entitled to exercise certain rights that you are given under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Any information or data that you chose to provide us will be kept with Himmelfarb Sustainability Consulting until one of these happens: (1) you ask Himmelfarb Sustainability Consulting to DELETE the information and/or data; (2) Himmelfarb Sustainability Consulting decides to STOP USING the existing data processors, or (3) Himmelfarb Sustainability Consulting decides that the cost of retaining the data outweighs the value in retaining it.

As a consumer and/or visitor on our Site who is located in the European Union region, you have the right to request access to the data that Himmelfarb Sustainability Consulting collected on you and store it.

You are within your rights to demand to know exactly what data and information Himmelfarb Sustainability Consulting has collected on you. Keep in mind that some parts of this data were provided by you personally, while others were gathered through cookies and pixels.

You have the right to withdraw consent on data that you previously gave us consent to collect and process. The right to withdraw consent applies to any future processing of that data. However, any data that has been collected and processed previously based on valid consent is lawful and not subject to liability based on any legal grounds.

You also have the right to request the erasure of your data and all your information from data storage. Once you request that your data be erased from Himmelfarb Sustainability Consulting‘s databases, we have thirty (30) days to comply with your request. If it’s impossible to comply within 30 days, then Himmelfarb Sustainability Consulting will respond to your request and let you know about the issue, and also give you a reasonable time as to when your request for deletion will be honored.

Aside from rights such as request to access and request to delete and rectify, an EU user also has the right to place restrictions on the data processing itself. This means a user can limit certain things that Himmelfarb Sustainability Consulting can and cannot do with your data. You can choose to limit the transfer of your data to third-party businesses (unless it’s essential for Himmelfarb Sustainability Consulting’s basic functions).

You further have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority who oversees and handles issues related to the GDPR.

Lastly, it’s Himmelfarb Sustainability Consulting’s duty to inform you that we only require information that is reasonably necessary. We do not collect any unnecessary data, and any information we acquire is used for legitimate business purposes such as growing and scaling our business or providing satisfactory customer service to you and other users.

Information Collected Through Third-Party Sources
During the time you visit and use our Site, certain limited data are collected from public databases, marketing partners, social media platforms, and analytics sources.

The types of data collected about you from other sources are your location, your computer system, which pages you have visited on our Site, how long you spend on each page, your IP address, your country, and possibly even your social media profiles and referrals.

2. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY AND DATA

Our Website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We and our Website do not knowingly and intentionally collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you are under 13 years of age, please do not use or provide any information on our Website. Do not use any third parties that might have links present on our Website. Do not provide your name, address, phone number, or any payment information.

If a parent or guardian believes that our Website unknowingly collected personally identifiable information from a child under the age of 13 in its database, please contact us at once at info@himmelfarb.com, and we will do our best to immediately remove any and all such information from our database.

3. HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU?

Information Collected Directly from You
We use the information we collect from you to send you targeted marketing, promotional communications, and thought leadership/informational communications. If at any time you indicated an interest in a particular field related to our Site, then we and/or our third-party marketing partners may use this relevant information to send you additional communication regarding similar products/services.

If you do not want to receive any marketing, promotional or informational communications, you can opt-out at any time by UNSUBSCRIBING from either a particular list or topic or from all the emails coming from us by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link located at the bottom of every email you receive, or contacting us directly at info@himmelfarb.com.

Information Collected from Third-Party Apps and Tools
Any information collected from third-party tools is used for statistical and analytical purposes and for evaluating and making improvements to our Site. This automatically collected information will not include personal information data.

4. WILL WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH ANYONE?

We respect your privacy and the value of your information. We do not share, disclose, sell, lease, or rent your information to anyone or any third party without your express consent.

Only under limited circumstances will necessary information be shared with third parties. Here are the situations in which we will share your information:
  • You gave us express consent to do so;
  • You entered into a contract for recurring payments—for this reason, your information will be processed on an as-needed basis to uphold the agreement;
  • Performance of a contract—if you are obligated to pay or perform an action, and you fail, we reserve the right to share necessary information with a third-party company, such as a collection agency or an attorney; and
  • Mandated by law—if legal proceedings are initiated, and there is a subpoena (unlikely, but better to be prepared than surprised).

5. WE MAY USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

We may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as pixels, to collect and process data on advertisements, website use, and information retention (e.g., time spent on our Website, pages visited, and links clicked on). Cookies include statistics cookies that measure user performance using Google Analytics. Unless this Privacy Policy is updated to provide otherwise, selected cookies will only be essential (necessary for our Website to function) or performance-based (helpful for understanding interactions with our Website).

6. EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS & POLICIES
If you decide to contact us through email, we reserve the right to retain the content of your email messages, your email address, and our responses.

Your privacy is important to us. Therefore, your email address will never be shared, sold, or leased to any third-parties.

In compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, any and all communications sent from Himmelfarb Sustainability Consulting or our Website will clearly state who the email is from, who the email is for, and how to contact the sender.
