Thank you for visiting Credit Tracker of Micro Energy Credits.
As with most modern organizations, Micro Energy Credit (MEC) uses computers to run our business.
Under some circumstances, some of our computer systems may hold information about individuals.
This document describes the ways in which this information is collected, what we do with it, and what
you can do about it. This privacy policy covers the information that we hold on our website, and on the
systems that support our web site and web applications.
THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
You can access our public Web site home page and browse some portions of our site without disclosing your personal data. We collect the personal data that you may volunteer while using our services. We do not collect information about our visitors from other sources, except as it relates to the role within the Microfinance Institution.
At our site, you may create a bid, track carbon credits earned, subscribe to one of our online newsletters, or participate in an online forum or community. The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected at these pages include: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number and information about your interests in and use of various programs, and services. At certain parts of our site, only persons who provide us with the requested personally identifiable information will be able to view information, order products, programs, and services or otherwise participate in the site's activities and offerings.

In addition, in order to provide exceptional value to both the microfinance organizations and our eventual purchasers of the credits, we expect the MFI users to provide us with personally identifiable data about their customers, including location (in lat , long coordinates), address, and name. We only disclose this information as necessary to promote the carbon offset credits or to verify them.

We may disclose personally identifiable information in response to legal process, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency's request.

Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy. We may on occasion combine information we receive online with outside records to enhance our ability to market to you those products or services that may be of interest to you.
