Mailchimp privacy policy

The Company uses MailChimp to analyse mailing campaigns. When you open an email sent by MailChimp, a file included in the email (called a web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the United States. This allows the Company to determine if a newsletter message has been opened and which links you click on. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to a specific recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of mailing campaigns.

The Company can also ensure that subscribers who are no longer engaging with ESG Ireland insights can be unsubscribed. At least every 6 months, the Company will e-mail inactive subscribers for confirmation that they wish to continue receiving our updates. If there is no response within 7 days, they will be removed from the Company’s mailing list.

If you do not want your usage of our updates to be analysed by MailChimp, you will have to unsubscribe from our updates. For this purpose, we provide a link in every mail we send.

The data provided when subscribing to ESG Insights will be used to distribute the latest insights until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted from our servers and those of MailChimp. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses) remains unaffected.
