1. What this privacy notice covers

This privacy notice sets out information on the personal information collection and use when you provide personal information to us, when you visit our website, or when you interact with a pledge platform. You should also read the Website Terms and Conditions.

2. Who we are

Count Us In is a brand name of Leaders’ Quest Foundation (LQF). We are a community of people protecting what we love from climate change before it is too late. We want people to take practical steps that when aggregated, will make a significant impact in reducing carbon pollution and challenge leaders to act boldly to deliver global systems change.

To achieve this we create platforms for partner clients on climate-related topics that matter to them based on content they provide. Through these platforms individuals can pledge to take specific steps to make a difference.

Where we use ‘Count Us In’ and ‘CUI’ in this notice, the legal organisation is Leaders’ Quest Foundation.

Our partners

Our platforms are co-branded with our partners and each partner may have multiple projects each with their own platform.

Controller and processor

Primarily, the partner whose platform you are interacting with will be the data controller. CUI acts as a data processor to provide the platform and its services.

CUI is a data controller for your account information (e-mail, username and password) and where we use data from the platform to create aggregate, anonymised statistics to be able to report on pledges people are making on climate matters.

3. Personal information collection and use

When you pledge to take action

You will need to create an account on the platform and provide the following information.

• Name
• E-mail address
• The commitment(s) you make on climate change

We also use part of your IP address to assign you a country location to report on the geographic spread of individuals using the platform.

CUI use of your information

We only use information for our own purposes in aggregate form to report on how many people have pledged and what type of pledges they have made. We will aggregate data from other platforms we provide to get these statistics.

We also send automated e-mails once you have signed up to welcome you to the platform and to remind you of the pledges you have made. We will only send you e-mails about our work and projects if you have opted in.

We may need to use your information as part of administering the website and platform and for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing and research.

As a processor for our partners, we also provide them with reports on platform-specific performance indicators, aggregated impacts and other insights they request.

Partner use of your information

Our partners will have access to the information you provide. Please review the Netflix terms of use and privacy statements.

If you have opted into their marketing, they will send you e-mails from which you can unsubscribe.
