  1. Who We Disclose Your Personal Information To. We disclose personal information only to the categories of recipients below, and only for the business purposes described in this Privacy Policy. These disclosures are not sales of personal information and are not sharing of personal information for unauthorized cross-context behavioral advertising. When we disclose personal information to a service provider or contractor, we do so under a written contract that requires them to use the information only to perform services for us and prohibits them from selling it or using it for unauthorized purposes. We disclose personal information to:
  • Our affiliates
  • Service providers we use to help deliver our products and/or services to you, such as installers, financial partners, payment service providers, warehouses, and delivery companies
  • Other third parties we use to help us run our business, such as marketing agencies or website hosts
  • Third parties approved by you, including social media sites you choose to link your account to or third-party payment providers
  • Our insurers and brokers
  • Our bank[s]
  • In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the new owner

We only allow our service providers to handle your personal information if we are satisfied they take appropriate measures to protect your personal information. We also impose contractual obligations on service providers to ensure they can only use your personal information for authorized purposes only. We may also share personal information with SLP’s auditors, e.g., in relation to the audit of our accounts.

We may disclose and exchange information with law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

We may also need to share some personal information with other parties, such as potential buyers of some or all of our business or during a re-structuring. We will typically anonymize information, but this may not always be possible. The recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations.

  1. Use of Computer Tracking Technologies. We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience as described in this section.
  • No Tracking of Personal Information. The Website is not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information not entered by visitors. Through Website access logs, SLP  collects clickstream data and HTTP protocol elements, which generate certain kinds of non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to our sites. This information is used for internal purposes by technical support staff for research and development, user analysis and business decision making, all of which provides better services to the public. The statistics garnered, which contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information, may also be provided to third parties.
  • Use of Cookies. SLP or its third-party vendors, collects non-identifiable and personal information through the use of various technologies, including "cookies". A cookie is an alphanumeric identifier that a website can transfer to customer's hard drive through customer's browser. The cookie is then stored on customer's computer as an anonymous tag that identifies the customer's computer, but not the customer. Cookies may be sent by SLP or its third-party vendors. Customer can set its browser to notify customer before a cookie is received, giving an opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. Customer may also set its browser to turn off cookies; however, the Website may not then work properly.
  • Use of Web Beacon Technologies. SLP may also use Web beacon or other technologies to better tailor its Website to provide better customer service. If these technologies are in use, when a visitor accesses these pages of the Website, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by SLP or by its suppliers. Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If customer does not want cookie information to be associated with customer's visits to these pages, customer can set its browser to turn off cookies; however, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded.
  • Collection of Non-Identifiable Information. SLP may collect non-identifiable information from user visits to the Website in order to provide better customer service. Examples of such collecting include: traffic analysis, such as tracking of the domains from which users visit, or tracking numbers of visitors; measuring visitor activity on the Website; Website and system administration; user analysis; and business decision making. Such information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." SLP or its contractors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics.
  • Collection of Personal Information. SLP collects personal identifying information from customer during a transaction. SLP may extract some personally identifying information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information, such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level (not at an individual level) to help SLP understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level.
  1. Personal Information We Do Not Sell or Share. We do not sell your personal information, and we have not sold your personal information in the preceding 12 months. We do not have actual knowledge that we sell or share the personal information of consumers.  Because we do not sell or share your personal information, we do not offer a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link, and you have no personal information to opt out of selling or sharing. 
  2. Categories of Personal Information We Disclosed for a Business Purpose. In the preceding 12 months, we have disclosed the following categories of personal information for a business purpose:
  • Identifiers (e.g., a real name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, Internet Protocol address, email address, account name, or other similar identifiers)
  • Information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is capable of being associated with, a particular individual, including, but not limited to, their name, physical characteristics or description, address, telephone number
  • Commercial information (e.g., records of personal and/or real property, products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies)
  • Internet or other electronic network activity information (e.g., browsing history, search history, and information regarding a consumer's interaction with an internet website, application, or advertisement)
  • Inferences drawn from any of the information identified above to create a profile about a consumer reflecting the consumer's preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes –and–
  • Sensitive personal information

  • Provide a different level or quality of goods or services to you –or–
  • Suggest that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services

Please note that we may charge a different price or rate or provide a different level or quality of goods and/or services to you, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to our business by your personal information. We may also offer loyalty, rewards, premium features, discounts, or club card programs consistent with these rights or payments as compensation, for the collection of personal information, the sale of personal information, or the retention of personal information. We do not offer financial incentives or price or service differences in exchange for the collection, retention, sale, or sharing of your personal information.

 

  1. How to Exercise Your Rights. If you would like to exercise any of your rights as described in this Privacy Policy, you can call us at (510) 845-2997, or email us at info@sunlightandpower.com.

We will confirm receipt of your request and respond within 45 days of receiving a verifiable request. If we need more time, we may extend this period once by an additional 45 days and will notify you of the extension and the reason for it within the first 45-day period. 

  • Please note that you may only make a CCPA/CPRA-related data access or data portability disclosure request twice within a 12-month period.

You may also use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. If you use an authorized agent, we may require the agent to provide proof that you gave them signed permission to submit the request, and we may require you to verify your own identity directly with us or confirm that you provided the agent permission to submit the request.

 

  • If you choose to contact us directly by email or phone, you will need to provide us with:
  • Enough information to identify you (e.g., your full name, address and customer or matter reference number)
  • Proof of your identity and address (e.g., a copy of your driving license or passport and a recent utility or credit card bill) –and–
  • A description of what right you want to exercise and the information to which your request relates
  • We are not obligated to make a data access or data portability disclosure if we cannot verify that the person making the request is the person about whom we collected information or is someone authorized to act on such person's behalf.
  • Any personal information we collect from you to verify your identity in connection with your request will be used solely for the purposes of verification.
  1. Data Retention and Security. We retain each category of personal information, including sensitive personal information, only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected as outlined in this Privacy Policy,  and we do not retain it for longer than is reasonably necessary for those purposes. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider criteria such as: the length and nature of our relationship with you and the duration of your solar system’s warranty and service life; whether we have a legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory obligation to retain the information (for example, records relating to permits, rebates, inventive programs, and financing); whether retention is necessary to  resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements; and whether the information remains necessary to provide products or services you have requested. When personal information is no longer needed, we securely delete, destroy, or de-identify it. We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost or used or accessed in an unauthorized way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to access it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
  2. How to File a Complaint. We hope that we can resolve any query or concern you raise about our use of your information. You also have the right to file a complaint about our privacy practices with the California Privacy Protection Agency  or the California Attorney General.
  3. Changes to This Privacy Policy. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or our business practices. We will notify you of significant changes through reasonable means, such as email or announcements on our Website.
