Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 23, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Zero Global Waste, LLC ("Zero Global Waste," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit zeroglobalwaste.com (the "Site") or submit a form on it. We keep this short on purpose. We collect very little, and we do not sell it.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

• Contact form: your name, email address, organization (optional), the reason you are reaching out, and your message.
• Pledge form: your first and last name, email address, city and country (optional), how you are signing (individual, business, or public official), and whether you want updates from us.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider may log basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you view, and the time of your visit. We use this only to keep the Site running and secure. We do not use advertising trackers.

If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent first.

2. How we use it

• To reply to your message.
• To tally pledge support, including by city and region, and to share those totals with the people making waste decisions in those places.
• To send you occasional updates about our progress, only if you asked for them. Every email includes a way to opt out.
• To operate, secure, and improve the Site.

3. What we do not do

• We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
• We do not share your email address publicly. If we publish pledge totals, they are numbers only. We do not publish names or emails.
• We do not send marketing email to anyone who has not opted in.

4. Who we share it with

We share personal information only with service providers who help us run the Site and handle form submissions and email, such as our hosting, form, and email providers. They may use your information only to provide services to us. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, our users, or the public.

5. How long we keep it

We keep contact messages as long as needed to respond and follow up. We keep pledge responses for as long as the pledge campaign is active, and we keep update-list subscriptions until you unsubscribe. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.

6. Your choices and rights

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete your personal information, to stop sending you updates, or to remove your pledge response by emailing hello@zeroglobalwaste.com. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with data protection laws, you may have additional rights under those laws, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

7. Cookies

The Site uses only the cookies or browser storage strictly necessary for it to function. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

8. Children

The Site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it.

9. International transfers

Zero Global Waste operates in the United States and Croatia. Information you submit may be stored and processed in either country or wherever our service providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for those transfers.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed. Material changes will be noted on this page.
