Your Privacy Matters to Us

1. Information We Collect

Canonical ESG is committed to minimal data collection. Our platform operates as a client-side application with no backend data storage or processing.

1.1 No User Data Storage

We do not store any user-entered data. All calculations, analysis, and processing occur locally in your web browser. No data is transmitted to our servers, stored in databases, or retained for any purpose.

1.2 No Account Creation Required

Our tools are accessible without registration, login, or account creation. We do not collect email addresses, names, or any personally identifiable information.

1.3 Automatic Browser Data

Like all websites, we may receive standard web server logs containing:

• IP addresses (anonymized)
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time spent
• Referring website information

This information is used solely for website analytics and security purposes, and is automatically deleted within 30 days.

2. Cookies and Tracking

Cookies Policy: Canonical ESG does not set, use, or access any cookies on user devices. We do not use third-party analytics services, tracking pixels, or any form of behavioral tracking.

3. Data Processing and Security

3.1 Client-Side Processing Only

All data processing occurs locally in your web browser. No data is ever transmitted to external servers, cloud services, or third-party processors. Your information never leaves your device.

3.2 No Data Retention

Since we don't collect or store data, there is no data retention policy to manage. Any temporary processing that occurs happens entirely in your browser's memory and is discarded when you close the browser tab or navigate away.

3.3 Security Measures

Our website is served over HTTPS with SSL/TLS encryption. While we don't store user data, we maintain industry-standard security practices for our website infrastructure.

4. Legal Compliance

4.1 GDPR Compliance (European Union)

As a website with no data collection, storage, or processing, we are fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). No personal data is collected, so no GDPR rights requests (access, rectification, erasure, etc.) are applicable.

4.2 CCPA Compliance (California)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), we do not collect, sell, or share personal information. Since no personal data is processed, CCPA rights (notice, access, deletion, etc.) are not applicable to our services.

4.3 International Privacy Standards

Our privacy practices align with international privacy standards including ISO 27001 information security principles and privacy-by-design approaches.

5. Third-Party Services

Canonical ESG does not integrate with or use any third-party services that collect user data, including but not limited to:

• Analytics platforms (Google Analytics, etc.)
• Social media widgets
• Advertising networks
• Customer support chat systems
• Email marketing services

6. Children's Privacy

Our platform is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a child under 13, we will delete such information immediately.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Modified" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
