DATA COLLECTION
We collect the following categories of data:
- personally identifying information (PII)
- data about your CO₂ emissions
- analytic and technical feedback data
- Location data (if permission granted in the app)
PII data includes your name, email address, password, postal code and country of residence.
The data about your CO₂ emissions consists of the answers provided in the CO₂ calculator questionnaire and the data collected in the background via the dynamic calculator.
The analytic and technical data includes page/screen views (when you visit web pages and app screens) and details of any issues you encounter. This data is anonymised.
In order to estimate your mobility CO₂ footprint, and assuming that you grant location tracking permissions to the Scone app, we track your location, even when the app is not in use.
PURPOSE AND LEGAL BASIS OF PROCESSING
Scone processes your personal data for the following purposes:
- To help you build your CO₂ profile and provide insights into your emissions.
- To provide you with climate, energy, and mobility news and events.
- To analyse aggregated user data and identify popular reduction measures.
- To offer relevant products and services from Scone partners to help you reduce your emissions.
- To identify issues in our apps and website and to improve the user experience
CATEGORIES OF RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA
Scone may share your personal data with the following recipients:
- Municipalities and cities collaborating on policy measures based on shared information.
- Technology partners responsible for security, storage, data analysis, and message delivery.

However, we retain CO₂ emissions data on an anonymous basis for further analysis and improvement purposes.
In all cases, we commit ourselves to immediately delete data once it is not useful anymore for the described purposes, as we also commit to the data minimization principle of the GDPR.
