The Cooling Report is a newsletter and editorial publication covering data center cooling and thermal infrastructure. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have over it, including under the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (CCPA).
The Cooling Report is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. For any privacy question or to exercise a right described below, contact us at privacy@thecoolingreport.com.
We do not knowingly collect special categories of personal data, and the publication is not directed at children under 16.
Subscription data is collected only when you actively subscribe through a form on our website or a partner sign-up that clearly identifies The Cooling Report. We operate a confirmed opt-in model. We do not purchase, rent, or append email lists. Engagement and site usage data are collected automatically through our email and analytics providers when you open an email or visit the site.
We share personal data only with the service providers that operate the publication on our behalf, under contracts that require them to protect it and use it only for our purposes:
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose data if required by law or to protect our legal rights. If the publication is acquired, data may transfer as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.
Our service providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where data is transferred out of the EU or UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
We keep subscription data for as long as you remain subscribed and for a reasonable period afterward to honor suppression and unsubscribe requests. You can ask us to delete your data at any time. Aggregate, de-identified metrics that no longer identify you may be retained indefinitely.
If you are in the EU or UK, you have the right to:

To exercise any right, email privacy@thecoolingreport.com. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for analytics and basic functionality. Our emails contain a tracking pixel that records opens and use tagged links that record clicks. You can disable cookies in your browser, and most email clients let you block remote images, which prevents open tracking. Note that Apple Mail Privacy Protection automatically loads images and makes open data unreliable, which is why we rely primarily on click data.
We use reputable providers and reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and limit access to it.
We may update this policy as our practices or the law change. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated through the newsletter.
