2.1 HemeraScope is an analytics product that helps organisations estimate the carbon footprint of their spend and supply chain. It applies recognised but approximate methodologies to information provided by customers, suppliers, and third-party sources.

3.1 You retain all ownership of, and intellectual property rights in, your Supplier Information. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of your Supplier Information to Hemera.

3.2 Hemera owns all intellectual property in the HemeraScope platform, its calculation engine and methodology, and any Aggregated Data, benchmarks, and reference datasets it generates. Your licence to us under Section 4 does not extend to any of these.

4.2 Subject to your confidentiality protections in Section 6 and to applicable data protection law, this licence includes the right to use your Supplier Information in Aggregated Data. Aggregated Data does not identify you and may be retained and used by Hemera indefinitely.

5.1 You acknowledge that the purpose of providing Supplier Information is, in most cases, to allow a Customer to account for the emissions associated with goods or services you supply to them. Where you provide Supplier Information in response to a specific Customer request, you permit Hemera to share the relevant Supplier Information, and outputs derived from it, with that Customer.

5.2 Where the same Supplier Information is relevant to more than one Customer (for example, a product carbon footprint for a product you sell to several Customers), you permit Hemera to reuse that Supplier Information across the relevant Customer workspaces, so that you are not asked to provide the same information repeatedly. If you do not want particular Supplier Information reused in this way, tell us when you provide it.

6.2 We may disclose Supplier Information to the Customers permitted under Section 5, to our sub-processors who help us operate the platform under equivalent confidentiality obligations, and where required by law or a regulator.

8.2 Non-personal Supplier Information may be retained for as long as needed for our business purposes, including in Aggregated Data as described in Section 4.
