  • GR will not pass your information on to third parties without your consent. If you submit your personal data but do not notify GR that you are not giving your consent to have your data used as described above, then GR will treat your submission as your granting of consent to use your data as described above.

Right To be Forgotten (Under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation):

Anyone in the GR database (current members, past members, master mailing list, etc.) has the right to obtain from the Geothermal Rising (GR) the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the GR shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • The person withdraws consent to which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
  • The person objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
  • The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
  • The personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the GR is subject.
  • The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and the person wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by the GR, he or she may, at any time, contact the GR by email at info@mygeoenergy.org or phone at (530) 758-2360. The GR shall ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

Where the GR has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the GR, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. GR will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
