Effective date: 19 September 2026
1. About this Privacy Policy
Climate Initiative respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly and transparently.
This Privacy Policy explains how Climate Initiative collects, holds, uses and discloses personal information during its pre-launch phase, including through its website, pre-launch signup pages, customer relationship management systems and email communications.
Climate Initiative is operated by Eco Green Group Pty Ltd ACN 657 510 766 as trustee for the Griffiths Family Trust, operating under the registered business name Climate Initiative.
In this Privacy Policy, Climate Initiative, we, us and our refer to that business.
Contact: [email protected]
We aim to manage personal information consistently with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles where they apply.
2. Personal information we collect
During the pre-launch phase, we may collect personal information including:
your first name;
your last name;
your email address;
your organisation or business name, if you choose to provide it;
information about when and how you joined the Climate Initiative contact list;
records of your consent to receive communications;
whether and when you confirmed your email address;
email delivery, confirmation-link and engagement information;
subscription and unsubscribe status;
correspondence between you and Climate Initiative; and
limited technical information associated with your use of our website and communications.
We do not currently ask people joining the pre-launch contact list to provide sensitive information.
3. How we collect personal information
We primarily collect personal information directly from you when you:
complete a Climate Initiative signup form;
confirm your email address;
communicate with Climate Initiative;
unsubscribe or otherwise change your communication preferences; or
voluntarily provide information to us.
Limited technical and interaction information may also be collected automatically through our website, customer relationship management system and email systems.
4. Why we collect and use personal information
We may collect and use personal information to:
administer the Climate Initiative pre-launch contact list;
verify signup requests and email addresses;
send Climate Initiative news, development and launch updates where you have agreed to receive them;
respond to enquiries and correspondence;
maintain consent, confirmation and unsubscribe records;
operate, secure and improve our website and communication systems;
understand the effectiveness of our communications;
prevent inappropriate or unauthorised communications; and
maintain appropriate business, compliance and audit records.
Joining the pre-launch contact list does not constitute an application for certification, membership or participation in any future Climate Initiative program.
5. Signup consent and email confirmation
When you join the Climate Initiative pre-launch contact list, you are asked to agree to receive Climate Initiative news, updates and other communications.
Climate Initiative currently uses a double opt-in process.
After submitting the signup form:
your signup is recorded;
a confirmation email is sent to the email address you provided;
you are asked to click a confirmation link; and
only after that confirmation are you treated as a confirmed subscriber for mailing purposes.
We retain records of the signup and confirmation so that we can demonstrate how and when consent was provided.
You may withdraw your consent at any time using the unsubscribe facility included in our marketing communications.
6. Automated workflows
Climate Initiative uses automated workflows to perform administrative functions including:
processing signup forms;
organising contact records;
recording signup and confirmation status;
sending confirmation emails;
recording confirmation-link clicks;
maintaining mailing-list eligibility; and
suppressing future email communications where a person unsubscribes.
These current pre-launch processes are administrative and are not intended to make substantive decisions about certification eligibility or other matters that significantly affect an individual's rights or interests.
Climate Initiative will review this position as its systems and activities develop.
7. Service providers
We use third-party service providers where reasonably necessary to operate Climate Initiative.
Our current pre-launch systems include HighLevel, which provides website, customer relationship management, workflow and email-related functionality.
We may also use domain, email, hosting, security, analytics and professional-service providers where required.
We do not sell or rent the Climate Initiative pre-launch contact list to third parties.
We may disclose personal information where required or authorised by law, or where reasonably necessary to protect our legal rights, systems or users.
8. Overseas processing
Some of the technology providers used by Climate Initiative process personal information outside Australia.
Based on our current pre-launch technology arrangements, personal information may be processed in countries including the United States and India.
Our service providers and their subprocessors may change over time. We will review this Privacy Policy where changes materially affect our privacy practices.
9. Security
Climate Initiative takes reasonable steps to protect personal information against misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Information is primarily held electronically in business and technology systems, with access restricted to authorised persons as appropriate.
No electronic or internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
10. Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate legal, administrative, audit and compliance purposes.
If you unsubscribe, we may retain limited information recording:
your previous signup;
your confirmation of consent; and
your unsubscribe or email-suppression status.
This helps us honour your request and avoid inadvertently resuming marketing communications.
Where personal information is no longer reasonably required, we will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it, subject to applicable legal requirements and normal backup or archival processes.
11. Access and correction
You may ask to access personal information Climate Initiative holds about you or request correction of information that you believe is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.
Requests may be sent to:
We may need to verify your identity before providing access or making changes.
12. Privacy complaints
If you believe Climate Initiative has mishandled your personal information, please contact:
Privacy Officer
Climate Initiative
[email protected]
Please provide enough information for us to understand and investigate your concern.
We will aim to respond within a reasonable period.
Where the Privacy Act applies and you remain dissatisfied after giving us an opportunity to address the matter, you may have the right to make a complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
13. Website and email information
Our systems may record information associated with website and email use, including:
page visits;
form submissions;
email delivery;
confirmation-link clicks;
email engagement;
unsubscribes; and
related technical events.
We use this information to operate the signup process, confirm delivery, troubleshoot problems, understand engagement and improve Climate Initiative communications.
If we introduce materially different analytics, cookies or tracking technologies, we will review whether additional notices or consent mechanisms are appropriate.
14. Changes to this Privacy Policy
Climate Initiative is currently under development and its activities are expected to expand.
We may update this Privacy Policy as our activities, technology, legal obligations or information-handling practices change.
The current version will be made available through the Climate Initiative website.
