Privacy Policy

Last Updated: Apr 21 - 2026

At ICRegistry ("we," "us," or "our"), we are committed to protecting your privacy while ensuring the transparency and integrity of the international carbon market. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our registry services.

1. Information We Collect
We collect information that identifies you or can be used to contact you ("Personal Information").

• Account Information: Name, email address, phone number, and professional affiliation (company name) provided during registration.

• Project Data: Information related to climate projects, including locations, methodologies, and verification reports. Note: Some project data is made public to ensure market integrity.

• Financial Information: Payment details for registry fees and transaction history (processed via secure third-party providers).

• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and usage data collected via cookies to improve your experience on our platform.
   

2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data for the following purposes:

• Service Delivery: To manage your account, register projects, and facilitate the issuance, transfer, and retirement of International Carbon Credits (ICCs).

• Compliance: To verify the identity of account holders and ensure projects meet ISO 14064-2 and ICR requirements.

• Communication: To send you updates regarding your project status, registry news, or technical alerts.

• Public Transparency: As a carbon registry, we maintain a public ledger. Certain project-related information and credit statuses will be publicly accessible to prevent double-counting.
   

3. Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with:

• Validation & Verification Bodies (VVBs): To facilitate the independent audit of your staff applications.

• Service Providers: Third-party vendors who assist with hosting, & payment processing.

• Legal Authorities: When required by law or to protect the safety and rights of ICRegistry and its users.
   

4. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with services. Because carbon credits represent long-term environmental claims, project-related data may be archived indefinitely to maintain the integrity of the historical record.

5. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies to remember your preferences and analyze site traffic. You can manage your cookie settings through your browser; however, disabling cookies may limit your ability to use certain features of the registry.

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you.

• The right to request the correction of inaccurate data.

• The right to request the deletion of your data (subject to legal and registry record-keeping requirements).

• The right to object to or restrict certain processing activities.
   

7. Security
We implement industry-standard security measures, including SSL encryption and secure database protocols, to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
 
8. International Data Transfers
ICRegistry is headquartered in [Insert Country, e.g., Iceland]. Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of your residence. We ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.
