Summary
This brief summary tells you the basics of our privacy commitment to you-how we collect and use your information, how we protect it, and who can see it. We encourage you to read the entire privacy policy below for full details.
What is “Personal Information”?
“Personal information,” as used in this policy, is information that specifically identifies an individual, such as an individual’s name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address. Personal information may also include information about an individual’s activities, such as, without limitation, information about his or her activity on Greenenergyreview.net, home ownership, home statistics, home energy usage or utility provider. It may also include demographic information, such as date of birth, geographic area, and preferences, when any of this information is linked to personal information that identifies that individual.
Personal information does not include “aggregate” or other non-personally identifiable information. Aggregate information is information that we collect about a group or category of products, services or customers that is not personally identifiable or from which individual identities are removed. We may use and disclose aggregate information, and other non-personally identifiable information, for various purposes.
