Global Energy Insight privacy policy

Global Energy Insight (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects and processes personal data as part of providing our oil-inventory data services. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect from users of our websites and API, how we use it, and how we protect it. It covers all personal data submitted or gathered during use of our services – for example, data you provide when signing up (name, email, etc.) and data collected automatically (via cookies and logs). Below is a summary of the key categories of personal data and our practices regarding them:

• • Information We Collect: We collect the contact and identifying information you provide (e.g. name, business title, email address, phone number, billing address, etc.) as well as technical/usage data. This includes login credentials, IP addresses, device or browser type, and details about how you interact with our API and dashboard (such as visited pages, accessed features, and query logs). We may also collect inferred information, like general location from your IP address. We do not intentionally collect sensitive data such as information on health, religion, or political views and ask that you do not provide such data.

• • Use of Information: We use the data we collect to operate, maintain, and enhance our services. This includes delivering requested features, supporting user accounts, responding to inquiries, and keeping you informed of service-related updates. With your permission, we may also send marketing or informational emails. We respect your communication preferences and honor opt-outs where requested.

• • Cookies & Tracking: We use cookies and similar tools to remember user preferences, identify repeat visitors, and understand how our services are being used. These technologies may place a small file on your device to help personalize your experience. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; however, doing so may affect how the website or dashboard functions. We may also log anonymous metrics such as page visits and API usage to support performance monitoring and product improvement. Some third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) may also place cookies on your browser.

• • Sharing & Disclosure: We do not sell or rent your personal data to unrelated third parties. We may share your information with service providers who assist us with functions such as cloud hosting, billing, or analytics—strictly for use on our behalf and under confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose information where required by applicable law or in response to lawful legal requests. Any external parties that handle personal data on our behalf are required to protect it and use it only for the purpose we specify.

• • Data Security & Retention: We apply appropriate technical and organizational safeguards—such as access controls, encryption, and secure networks—to help protect your personal data against loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. We only retain your information as long as needed for operational or legal purposes. Once the information is no longer necessary, we securely delete or anonymize it.

• • International Transfers & Data Residency: Global Energy Insight is based in the United States. If you are located outside the U.S., especially in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, please note that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction. In such cases, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that your data remains protected. This includes relying on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or other lawful transfer mechanisms under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By using our services or submitting your information, you consent to the transfer of your personal data to the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate.

• • Changes to Policy: We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect modifications in our business or to meet legal requirements. If significant changes are made, we will notify users through appropriate channels such as email or on-site notices. Continued use of our services after updates are posted means you accept the revised policy.

In sum, Global Energy Insight collects only the data needed to operate its business (contact/usage data, cookies) and uses it to provide and improve our analytics and communications, while safeguarding your privacy. We handle data in accordance with U.S. law and industry best practices. If you have questions about our privacy practices or wish to exercise any applicable rights, you can contact us at info@globalenergyinsight.com.
