What information does this site obtain?
Information You Provide Us. The personal information we collect includes name, phone number, address, email address, and information about your solar needs (including, but not limited to, homeownership, quantity of shade on your roof, electricity bill amount and provider).
Automatically Collected Information. We automatically collect certain information from visitors to the site, such as Internet addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring and exit page, operating system, timestamps, and clickstream data. We also track and analyze non-identifying and aggregate usage and volume statistical information from our visitors. This information is logged to help diagnose technical problems, and to administer our site so that we can constantly improve the quality of the services we provide.
Cookies. Cookies are small data files placed in your browser. Cookies transmit information such as session ID, user ID, and conversion data. This information helps website providers recognize a browser or mobile device and helps us gather information such as how many users have visited our site and which pages and advertisements have been seen and clicked on. We use first-party cookies and third-party cookies together to report ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with ad impressions related to your visit to our Site. Such information is used to tailor your experience on our Site. We never collect sensitive personal information (such as information about your race, religion, sexual orientation or health) from cookies.
Third-Party Analytics. We may collect certain information via third-party analytics services, which may collect your non-sensitive user information. This may include: the information you provide us, your session ID, your user ID, and conversion data. This information provides us with tools to calculate the numbers and frequency of visitors on the Site and to understand how you and other users use the Site so to improve your experience.
How is the obtained information used and shared?
We use the information that we collect to provide our services and help you find a solar company, to contact you regarding other products and services in which we hope you will be interested, and to improve our site. We also use this information—directly, indirectly, and in combination with data we exchange with other parties—to introduce you to informational, service, and product offerings of Solar Save, its subsidiaries, affiliated companies, partners, and brands that are owned by, licensed by, or partnering with Solar Save (collectively, “Our Companies”) and select unaffiliated companies and assigns (collectively, “Other Companies”). We do this by transferring, licensing, and sharing your personal information with Our Companies and Other Companies and hope you will be interested in the marketing materials and promotions with which you are presented. Our Companies also transfer, and share your personal information with unaffiliated list brokers, affiliate marketers, and companies that want to advertise other products and services. Once a third-party obtains your personal information, its subsequent use is controlled by their business practices, which is beyond our control.
Third Party Advertisers: Any question on any page is optional and is not required unless you want to receive solar quotes. When you answer any question, we will transfer some or all of the information that you submit during the registration process to Our Companies that we believe, based on your answer, may have offers that may be of interest to you.
Emails & Newsletters: When submitting any information on our website you expressly authorize Solar Save, Our Companies and Other Companies to use your personal information as explained in this privacy policy, and you consent to receiving commercial email from Solar Save, Our Companies and Other Companies. You can expect to receive offers regarding specific products and/or services, newsletters, promotions, and other similar offers. Should you wish to discontinue receiving these e-mailings simply unsubscribe using the link in the email you receive.
Advertising: Solar Save may provide you with advertisements, including in-text link ads. Information we collect through cookies and other technologies that does not by itself identify you is used to assist us in delivering you relevant ads when you are on a webpage. We may work with third-party advertising networks and advertisers who help deliver these ads to you and who may collect information about your browsing activity over time and across different sites in order to make this advertising more relevant. We also use cookies to improve the performance of our advertising on other websites. Although you may not opt out of receiving online advertisements generally, you may control the collection of data on our Site used for targeted Solar Save advertising during your visits to other websites. To opt-out of Solar Save data collection for targeted advertising on other sites, see "Tracking" under the section "What are my opt-out rights?"
Other Data Sharing: In addition, we may share information that we collect with our vendors or service providers who help us operate our business; in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; when we believe disclosure is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of our company, our employees, our web site users, or others; or to enforce our website terms and conditions or other agreements or policies. We may also transfer any data we collect in connection with a corporate change such as a merger, our acquisition by another company, or a partial or total sale of our assets (including as part of a bankruptcy proceeding).

Tracking: At this time, when we collect information from you for the purpose of tracking your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services, we do not respond to "Do Not Track" signals or frameworks requesting an alteration to our online tracking of individual users who visit our Site or use our services. We may also partner with third-party service providers to serve ads on our behalf on non-affiliated third party sites. Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information we or the online advertising network serving the ad collect about your online activities here and elsewhere over time. To opt out of these types of ads, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative for information about how to opt-out of interest-based advertising by their members.
