01Who we are
This Privacy Policy explains how CenterNode Energy Services, LLC (“CNES,” “we,” “us”), a CenterNode Group company, collects, uses and shares personal information through this website, and the choices and rights you have. It applies to this site only. Information we receive in the course of a client engagement is governed by that engagement’s agreement.
02Information we collect
Information you give us. When you use the contact form or email us, we collect what you provide: typically your name, email address, the option that best describes your role (for example, asset owner or lender), and your message, which may describe an asset, project or loss. When you submit a privacy request, we collect the details needed to verify and fulfil it.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider and the services that deliver the site’s fonts receive standard technical information when your browser loads a page: your IP address, browser and device type, the pages requested, the referring page and the date and time. The site itself does not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, as defined by California law, through the site, and ask that you not include it in messages.
03How we use information
We use personal information to:
- respond to your enquiry and discuss a potential engagement;
- operate, secure and improve the site, and protect against misuse;
- keep business records and meet our legal, regulatory and compliance obligations;
- respond to privacy requests and enforce our terms.
We do not use personal information from the site for automated decision-making or profiling.
04How we share information
We share personal information only as follows:
- Service providers that process it on our behalf under contract, such as our website host (Vercel), our form submission service (Resend), our email provider, and Google Fonts, which delivers the site’s typefaces;
- Affiliates, including CenterNode Group and The Forest Road Company, where needed to respond to your enquiry or to operate our business;
- Legal and safety: when required by law, subpoena or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property or safety of CNES, our clients or others;
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality protections.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We have not done so in the past 12 months.
05Cookies and similar technologies
The site does not set advertising or analytics cookies. Your browser may store technical data needed to load the site efficiently, such as cached files. Because we do not track visitors across sites, the site does not currently respond differently to “Do Not Track” signals. If we ever begin selling or sharing personal information, we will honor Global Privacy Control signals as an opt-out request.
06How long we keep information
We keep enquiry correspondence for as long as needed to respond and, where an engagement follows, for the period our records and legal obligations require. Technical request logs are kept by our hosting provider for a limited period under its own retention settings.
07Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
08Your California privacy rights
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the “CCPA”), gives you the right to:
- Know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources, the purposes, and the categories of third parties we disclose it to;
- Delete personal information we collected from you, subject to legal exceptions;
- Correct inaccurate personal information;
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share it, so there is nothing to opt out of today;
- Limit the use of sensitive personal information. We do not collect it through the site;
- Non-discrimination: we will not treat you differently for exercising these rights.
Categories collected in the past 12 months: identifiers (name, email address, IP address); professional or employment-related information (organization, role); internet or network activity (pages requested, browser details); and the content of messages you send us. Sources: you, and your browser. Disclosed for business purposes to: service providers and affiliates, as described above.
How to submit a request. Use our CCPA Request Form, or email privacy@forestroadco.com with “CCPA request” in the subject line, or call +1 424 788 1966.
Verification. To protect your information, we will verify your identity before acting on a request to know, delete or correct, usually by matching the details you give us with the information we hold and confirming by email. We will confirm receipt within 10 business days and respond within 45 calendar days, or tell you if we need an additional 45 days.
Authorized agents. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request. We may ask the agent for your signed permission and ask you to verify your identity directly with us.
Shine the Light. California residents may ask whether we disclosed personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year. We do not do so.
09Children
The site is intended for business users and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
10Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page shows when it last changed. If we make material changes, we will post the updated policy here.
