At METIS ESG, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect the information you provide when visiting our website or engaging with our services. It also outlines your rights under relevant data protection laws.

- Reason for Collection: We collect this information based on (i) your consent (e.g., when you sign up for newsletters), (ii) contractual necessity (e.g., to provide requested services), or (iii) our legitimate interests (e.g., to improve our offerings).
- Automatically Collected Information
- Technical Data: IP addresses, browser type, operating system, and similar technical details.
- Cookies: We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience, diagnose technical issues, and analyze how our website is used.

We use the collected information to:

- Communications: Notify you about updates to our services or industry developments, subject to your communication preferences.
We do not share, sell, or rent your information to third parties for their commercial purposes.
- Data Retention
We will retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and to comply with legal or regulatory obligations. The exact retention period may vary based on factors such as the nature of the information, the legal requirements in your jurisdiction, and any ongoing legitimate business needs.
- Data Sharing and Security
- Limited Sharing
- We may share your information with trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website or providing services (e.g., IT hosting, email distribution), but only to the extent necessary and with your consent where required by law.
- These third parties are contractually obligated to protect your information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
- We may share your information with business partners in case of a merger, acquisition, or corporate restructuring, subject to confidentiality agreements.
- Security Measures
- We employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, theft, and loss.
- However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee its absolute security.
- International Data Transfers
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or another region with data transfer restrictions, your information may be transferred to and stored in countries outside of those areas.
- Safeguards: In such cases, we implement appropriate safeguards—such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally recognized mechanisms—to ensure that your data remains protected according to the standards required by applicable data protection laws.

- Deliver Relevant Content: Provide content and advertising tailored to your interests.
- Analyze Performance: Understand website traffic patterns and user behavior.
- Cookie Preferences
- You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings or by using the cookie management tool on our website.
- In jurisdictions requiring explicit consent (e.g., EU/UK), we may display a cookie consent banner when you first visit our site. You can choose which types of cookies to accept or reject.
