5.1 OPT-OUTS

In some cases, ClimateHero can give the user the option of an “opt-out” from the fact that the personal data is used for certain purposes when it is collected. If the User chooses to opt-out, ClimateHero cannot guarantee that the Service will work properly.

If the User no longer wants to receive newsletters or similar communication, it can unsubscribe from these by following the instructions in the communication or in the Service.

5.3 BLOCKING COOKIES AND AD TRACKING

The User can delete or block certain cookies by using functions in the browser settings. The User may also opt out of ad tracking by shutting down and resetting it in the device or Google account, but ClimateHero cannot guarantee that the service will work fully if this is done.

6. Accessing and Changing Personal Data

The User is able to access their personal data in the Service, change their personal data in the Service, and delete their personal data in the Service. ClimateHero strives to make it as simple as possible for the User to do the above actions in the Service or, if it is not possible for the User to do it themselves, implement it for the User. Users can access, review, correct, update, modify or delete their information at any time. In that case, the User must send an e-mail to hello@climatehero.me from the User’s registered e-mail address in the Service. The email should include the User’s name and the information it wishes to access, correct or delete. ClimateHero may refuse requests if the sender’s identity cannot be substantiated, if the requests are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, compromise the handling of other’s personal data, are in practice impossible, are impractical or in cases where access to the information is not required. Requests are handled free of charge by ClimateHero, but not if they require disproportionate work or expenses.

If the User’s personal information has been processed in violation of the Personal Data Act, the User is entitled to request that the personal data be corrected, blocked or deleted. The User may at any time request that identifiable personal data be permanently deleted by sending an e-mail to hello@climatehero.me from the User’s registered e-mail address. If the User ceases to use the Service or if ClimateHero shuts down or deletes the User’s account in accordance with the Terms of Use, the User is no longer able to access or change the personal information. ClimateHero may retain unidentifiable information if it is necessary for the Service to function and identifiable information if it is required to maintain legal obligations or resolve disputes.

7. Changes of Data Policy

ClimateHero reserves the right to change these terms. Changes to the terms are notified to the User no later than 30 days before the changes take effect. ClimateHero may also apply a change in terms immediately if the change is necessary due to law, order, image company, court or image decision or other similar circumstance. ClimateHero informs the User of such change as soon as it can take place and in the manner that is appropriate in the circumstances. If the User does not accept a change of terms, the User has the right to terminate this agreement effective immediately and thereby cease his or her use of the Service.

8. Safety

Safe handling of personal information is important for ClimateHero. Therefore, a number of technical, practical and organizational measures have been taken to protect data in the Service. Only in cases where it is necessary will employees or people who work for ClimateHero have access to the information. ClimateHero carries out security measures to resist intrusions or other harmful activity according to prevailing circumstances and abilities. Data management on the internet or other type of electronic data management is never 100% secure. Therefore, although it is sought, ClimateHero cannot guarantee complete security.
