Privacy Policy

Effective 6 November 2026 · Last updated 6 November 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how CarbonInsights OÜ ("we", "our", or "us") handles personal data when you use EUTL, an independent EU Transaction Log (EUTL) explorer powered by Carbon Insights. It works with our Terms of Use.

1. Data controller

CarbonInsights OÜ
Ahtri tn 12, 15551 Tallinn, Estonia
Business ID 17468248 · VAT EE102971943
Privacy: info@carboninsights.net
Product questions: info@carboninsights.net

2. What this product is

EUTL shows public EU ETS / EUTL registry figures. It is not an official European Union website and does not require an account to browse charts and tables.

3. Data we process

  • Technical logs: IP address, user agent, request path, and timestamps may be processed by our hosting provider (for example Netlify) to operate and secure the site.
  • Browser storage: the explorer may cache registry responses in memory, IndexedDB, or localStorage on your device to speed up reloads. That cache stays on your device unless you clear site data.
  • Optional analytics: if you select Accept All on the cookie banner, Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager) may process usage and session data (see §5).
  • Optional email: if you use a feature that asks for an email (for example a full-file export or update notice on related Carbon Insights surfaces), we process that address only to send the requested file or notice.
  • Contact email: if you write to us, we process the content of your message to reply.

We do not sell personal data.

4. Why we process it

  • To deliver and secure the explorer (legitimate interests / contract performance).
  • To respond to requests you send us (legitimate interests / consent where required).
  • Optional analytics cookies (Microsoft Clarity, Google Analytics): your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), given via Accept All.
  • To meet legal obligations when they apply.

5. Cookies and local storage

We use cookies and local browser storage in two categories. Google Tag Manager is present with Consent Mode denied by default; analytics cookies are set only after Accept All. Microsoft Clarity loads only after Accept All. Choosing Necessary keeps analytics storage off. You can change your choice anytime via Cookie settings in the site footer.

Necessary

Required for the explorer to work. Always on; no consent needed:

  • Running the application and security / hosting controls
  • Preferences (theme and your cookie choice itself)
  • Client-side cache of public registry responses on your device

Analytics (optional)

Legal basis: consent. Analytics cookies and storage stay off until you choose Accept All. We do not run third-party advertising cookies on EUTL.

  • Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager)

    Up to ~2 years

    Aggregated traffic and engagement. GTM is in the page with Consent Mode denied until Accept All; analytics cookies are set only after consent.

    Container: GTM-PLPNBBDD · Keys may include _ga, _ga_*

  • Microsoft Clarity

    ~1 year / session

    Heatmaps and session replay (sensitive fields masked where supported).

    Keys: _clck, _clsk

  • Carbon Insights

    Until cleared

    Stores your cookie choice (localStorage).

    Key: ci-cookie-consent

Withdraw via Necessary or Cookie settings (footer). Clears further analytics under our setup; necessary cookies stay on. Clearing site data resets the banner.

6. Sharing

We use processors that help run the product (hosting, email delivery when you request a file, and Microsoft Clarity / Google when you consent to analytics). They process data on our instructions. Registry figures come from public EU ETS / EUTL sources and are not personal data about you.

7. Retention

Server logs follow our host's retention settings. Emails you send are kept as long as needed to handle your request, then deleted or archived under normal business practice. Browser cache lasts until you clear it or it expires. Consent records are kept as long as needed to prove consent was given or withdrawn. Clarity retention follows Microsoft's product settings; Google Analytics retention follows your Google Analytics / Tag Manager property settings.

8. Your rights

If EU/EEA GDPR applies, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, or object to certain processing, and withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing. Contact info@carboninsights.net. You may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (for example the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate).
