Website Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting www.hydrogenfwd.org, a project of Cummins Inc. This Privacy Policy contains our online privacy and security practices and describes the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

Information We Collect

You may visit our website without providing any information about yourself. However, in order to provide some of our web-based services to you or to permit you to enter certain sections of our website, we require you to provide a small amount of personal information.

 

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics to help analyze how users use the site, which uses cookies. Cookies are used to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including IP address) is transmitted to Google. This information is then used to evaluate visitors’ use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity for Hydrogenfwd.org.

Google Analytics collects information anonymously. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Neither Hydrogenfwd.org nor Google will link, or seek to link, an IP address with the identity of a computer user. We will not associate any data gathered from this site with any Personally Identifiable Information from any source, unless you explicitly submit that information via a fill-in form on our website. Google Analytics reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics without affecting how you visit our site – for more information on opting out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites you use, visit this Google page.

 

Social Media Platforms:

Any information, communications, or material of any type or nature that you submit to our site (including, but not limited to any of our pages contained on a social media platform or web site such as Twitter) by e-mail, posting, messaging, uploading, downloading, or otherwise (collectively, a “Submission”), is done at your own risk and without any expectation of privacy. We cannot control the actions of other users of any social media platform or web site and we are therefore not responsible for any content or Submissions contained on such sites and platforms. By visiting any of our pages or web sites that are contained on a social media platform or web site, you are representing and warranting to us that you have reviewed the applicable privacy policy and terms of use of such platform or web site and that you will abide by all such provisions contained therein.

Additionally, in the event that we offer a message board or any other interactive or social-type feature on a web site administered directly by us, please be aware that these areas may allow you to publicly post, and share with other users, certain messages, content, or other information (e.g., opinions, stories, etc.).

 

Use and Sharing of Your Information

Hydrogenfwd.org does not sell or share personal information provided to us with third parties for their own separate use.

 

Cross-Border Transfers of Personal Information

Like most global organizations, and to the extent warranted, Hydrogenfwd.org transfers (shares) some of its personal data with relevant affiliates (personnel) in other countries, as well as with external partners who assist with business activities. The data privacy laws that apply to personal data differ from country to country, and do not always offer a consistent level of protection for the personal data that is transferred out of the country of origin. Nevertheless, Hydrogenfwd.org has adopted measures that are designed to ensure that cross-border transfers of personal data take place in accordance with applicable data protection laws and requirements. The measures include assessments of the data importer as well as applicable host country laws to ensure that the recipient is capable of upholding an adequate level of protection for the data and entering into appropriate written agreements with the data importer confirming that commitment. Hydrogenfwd.org also relies on the E.U. Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent data transfer mechanism.

 

EU-US Privacy Shield Certification

Hydrogenfwd.org adheres to the principles of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s EU-US Privacy Shield framework for its human resource and customer personal data. However, in light of the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-311/18 (“Schrems II”), Hydrogenfwd.org discontinued its reliance on the Privacy Shield framework as a legal basis for transfers of personal data. Hydrogenfwd.org nevertheless continues to remain certified to that framework as part of the company’s overall commitment to ensuring compliant and responsible data protection practices in the countries where we operate. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification, please visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield website at: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list or, please see our Privacy Shield Notice.

 

California Consumer Privacy Act

Residents of California have the right to request certain personally identifiable information shared with third parties by a business with whom the California resident has an established business relationship as well as the names of the third parties with whom the information has been shared. In addition, an operator of a commercial website subject to California Business and Professions Code Section 22581 is required to fulfill requests from California residents under age 18 who are registered users of online sites, services or applications to obtain removal of content or information they have publicly posted.

If this applies to you and you wish to request this information, ensure that your request includes a detailed description of the specific content or information to be removed. Please be aware that your request does not guarantee complete or comprehensive removal of content or information posted online and that the law may not permit or require removal in certain circumstances.

We use cookies to display information more effectively to you and to gather data about the usage of our site. You can always set your browser to refuse all cookies or to warn you when a cookie is sent to you. This will provide you with more control over the acceptance of cookies on your computer. However, it is possible that some portions of this website will not function properly or may perform more slowly if you choose to reject cookies.

 

Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy

This website is not intended to collect or maintain any information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we mistakenly collected any information from anyone under the age of 13, we will purge it immediately, except for responding to a question or inquiry on a one-time basis from the individual.

 

Right of Access, Correction, and Objection

We take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information on file with us is accurate and up to date. In that regard, we invite you to contact us to update your information if it changes, such as your email address, so that you can continue to receive information from us that you have requested.

Retention of Personal Data

Hydrogenfwd.org retains personal information based on our legal and business needs, and then securely destroys the information.

 

Changes to This Privacy Policy

As we continue to provide additional services and as the privacy laws and regulations evolve, it may be necessary to revise or update our Privacy Policy. If we decide to change our policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage, so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way the notification information that we have available. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner.
