Brújula Verde (“the Project,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the personal data we collect. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle information gathered through our website (https://brujula-verde.com) and our interactions with partners, stakeholders, and community members.

2. Information We Collect

Given the nature of the Brújula Verde project, we collect data in the following ways:

  • Professional Inquiries: If you contact us regarding carbon credits, partnerships, or technical data (dMRV), we collect your name, professional email, organization, and the nature of your inquiry.
  • Technical Data & Monitoring: Our website may display data related to soil biodiversity (eDNA), LiDAR imaging, and carbon sequestration. While this is environmental data, any associated metadata linked to land stewardship or specific stakeholders is handled with strict confidentiality.
  • Recruitment & Social Programs: Data from individuals participating in our “Círculo de Mujeres” or community initiatives in La Esmeralda is collected solely for program administration and social impact reporting.
  • Cookies & Analytics: We use standard cookies to analyze website traffic and improve user experience.

3. Purpose of Processing

We use the collected information to:

  • Facilitate communications with investors and environmental partners.
  • Provide updates on project milestones (e.g., Gold Standard certification, BeZero ratings).
  • Manage social and community development programs in the Vichada Department.
  • Ensure compliance with international environmental and social safeguards (IFC Performance Standards 1 and 6).

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your data based on:

  • Contractual Necessity: To fulfill agreements with our partners (e.g., GenZero, Trafigura, South Pole).
  • Legitimate Interest: To promote the project’s environmental goals and maintain transparent reporting.
  • Consent: Where you have explicitly opted-in to receive project updates or participate in community programs.

5. Data Sharing and International Transfers

As a global initiative, your data may be shared with our project partners (located in Singapore, Switzerland, and elsewhere) strictly for project-related purposes. We ensure all partners adhere to high standards of data protection. We do not sell or lease personal information to third parties.

6. Data Security

We implement advanced technical and organizational measures to protect data, particularly regarding our digital MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) systems and stakeholder databases, to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights, or if you have questions regarding the data handled by InverBosques S.A. in relation to Brújula Verde, please contact us at [Insert Email].

8. Updates to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our project operations or international regulations. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Important Implementation Tips for your Site:

  1. Corporate Alignment: Since you work with firms like South Pole and Trafigura, ensure your “Contact” or “Connect” form includes a link to this policy.
  2. Gold Standard Compliance: If you are listing the project on the Gold Standard Registry, they may require specific wording regarding the transparency of “Stakeholder Consultation” data.
  3. Language: Since the project is in Colombia but the partners are global, it is standard practice for this site to have the policy in English, though a Spanish version is recommended for local community transparency.
