Privacy Policy
Last Updated: Aug. 6th, 2026
Torch Clean Energy, LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates torchcleanenergy.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we act as the "data controller" of the personal information described below, and this policy is intended to address the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as applicable to a small business site like ours.
Information We Collect
Information you provide directly. When you submit our contact form, we collect the information you enter, which may include your name, email address, and the content of your message.
Information collected automatically. Our Site is hosted on Squarespace, which automatically collects certain technical and usage data on our behalf, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and general location (city/region level). Squarespace may also use cookies and similar tracking technologies for analytics purposes. You can learn more about this in Squarespace's Privacy Policy.
We do not use any other tracking, advertising, or analytics tools beyond what Squarespace provides by default.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected through the contact form solely to:
Respond to your inquiry or request
Communicate with you about the subject of your message
Maintain records of correspondence
We use the automatically collected technical/usage data only to understand general Site traffic and performance.
Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases to process your information:
Consent — when you voluntarily submit the contact form.
Legitimate interests — for basic technical/analytics data collected by Squarespace, to maintain and improve the Site's security and performance.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us on our contact page; this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
We may share information with:
Squarespace, Inc., our website hosting provider, which processes data as described in their Privacy Policy.
Service providers we use to manage email or correspondence (e.g., our email provider), solely to help us respond to you.
Legal authorities, if required to comply with a law, regulation, or valid legal process.
International Data Transfers
We are based in the United States, and our hosting provider (Squarespace) processes data in the United States. If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, which may have different data protection laws than your home country. Squarespace maintains its own safeguards for international transfers, described in their Privacy Policy.
Cookies
Our Site may use cookies set by Squarespace for basic site functionality and analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how parts of the Site function.
Data Retention
We retain contact form submissions for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period afterward for our records, unless you request earlier deletion.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information.
If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the right to:
Access the personal information we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request erasure ("right to be forgotten")
Restrict or object to certain processing
Request a portable copy of your information
Withdraw consent at any time
Lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority
If you are located elsewhere in the world, including the United States, you may still request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information, and we will honor reasonable requests to the extent practicable.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [contact email]. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe, and in any event within one month for EEA/UK/Switzerland requests, as required by GDPR.
