SustainabilityZero (“we”, “us”) publishes independent sustainability journalism at sustainabilityzero.com. This page explains what information we collect when you visit the site, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little as possible.
We use Google Analytics to understand which articles people read and how they find us. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as the pages you visit, how long you stay, the type of device and browser you use, and your approximate location (city or region). We do not use this information to identify you personally.
Our web host keeps standard server logs, which include your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. These logs are used for security and to keep the site running, and are deleted on a regular schedule.
The site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google’s servers and shares your IP address with Google.
If you leave a comment, we collect the name, email address and comment you submit, along with your IP address and browser details to help detect spam. Your email address is never published.
If you email us, we keep your message and email address so we can reply. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address with our email provider so we can send it to you. Every newsletter includes a link to unsubscribe.
Some articles include embedded content such as videos or charts from other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you had visited that website, and it may collect data about you under that website’s own privacy policy.
We use this information only to run and improve the site, respond to you, send newsletters you have asked for, and protect the site from spam and abuse. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not accept payment for editorial coverage.
We share data only with the service providers that help us run the site: our web host, Google (Analytics and Fonts) and our newsletter provider. Each processes data on our behalf and under its own privacy terms.
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use Google Analytics cookies to measure readership, and WordPress sets cookies if you leave a comment or sign in. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work.
Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and similar laws elsewhere, you can ask us to tell you what personal data we hold about you, correct it, or delete it, and you can withdraw consent at any time. To do so, email editor@sustainabilityzero.com. We will respond within 30 days.
Comments and their details are kept for as long as the comment is published. Emails are kept for as long as needed to respond. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is kept according to Google Analytics retention settings.
We may update this page from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
