  • (iii) Web Beacons.

            A “Web Beacon” is an object that is embedded in a web page. It is usually invisible to you but allows site operators to check whether you have viewed a              particular web page or email communication. We may place Web Beacons on pages of this Site. You may not decline Web Beacons. However, they may              be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept              or decline cookies on an individual basis.

  • Security. We take reasonable precautions to protect the security of your information. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof. Therefore, while we use reasonable efforts to protect your Personally-Identifying Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. 
  • Storage of Personally Identifying Information Outside of the United States and Canada. Personally-Identifying Information may be stored on servers outside of the United States and Canada, and, as a result, may be subject to access requests from law enforcement in other jurisdictions.
  • Other. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Privacy Policy, we will disclose Personally- Identifying Information in the following limited circumstances:(i) Employees, Third-Party Processors and Third-Party Service Providers. We will disclose Personally-Identifying Information to our employees, contractors, affiliates, distributors, dealers, vendors and suppliers who process Personally-Identifying Information on our behalf, participate with us in the provision or operation of this Site or provide you with services relating to your Daylight Energy Solar system. For example, if you sign up for our solar panel monitoring service, we combine information we collect from your PV solar system (including solar electrical production, inverter operation and home electrical consumption) with your Personal Information (such as your name, address and phone number) and provide this to dealers who provide installation, operation, maintenance, analytics or energy service management services for your Daylight Energy Solar system. This information may be combined with other information about you or your household that is obtained from third parties in order to allow us to provide you with a more personalized service.(ii) By Law, to Protect Rights and to Comply with Our Policies. We disclose Personally-Identifying Information if: (1) required to do so by law, or in response to a subpoena or court order; (2) we believe in our sole discretion that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect against fraud, to protect the property or other rights of us or other users, third parties or the public at large; or (3) we believe that you have abused the service by using it to attack other systems or to gain unauthorized access to any other system, to engage in spamming or otherwise to violate applicable laws. For example, we may be required by law to provide your Personally-Identifying Information to the California Public Utilities Commission.(iii) Business Transfers; Bankruptcy. We reserve the right to transfer all Personally-Identifying Information in our possession to a successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of our assets. Other than to the extent ordered by a bankruptcy or other court, the use and disclosure of all transferred Personally- Identifying Information will be subject to this Privacy Policy, or to a new privacy policy if you are given notice of that new privacy policy and you affirmatively opt-in to accept it. Personally-Identifying Information submitted or collected after a transfer, however, may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor entity.
    (iv) Marketing Communications. We may email you about products and services that we believe may be of interest to you. We may also provide your Personally-Identifying Information to third parties so that those third parties may directly contact you about products and services. If you wish to opt-out of receiving emails from us or from third parties, please follow the instructions at the bottom of each email.



5. Collection and Use of Information by Third Parties. Third parties other than our Third Party Processors and our Third Party Service Providers are under no obligation to comply with this Privacy Policy with respect to Personally-Identifying Information that you provide directly to those third parties or that those third parties collect for themselves. We do not control the third-party sites or applications that may be accessible through this Site. Thus, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information provided to third-party sites or gathered by the third parties that operate them. Before visiting a third-party site or using a third party application, whether by means of a link on this Site or otherwise, and before providing any Personally- Identifying Information to any third party, you should inform yourself of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that site or application, and should take those steps necessary to your discretion, to protect your privacy and security.


6. Tailored Messages.

  • Do Not Track Policy. California law requires that operators of websites and online services disclose how they respond to a Do Not Track signal and whether other third parties may collect personally identifiable information about an individual’s online activities from their site or service. Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” features. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the website or online service that a user visits, indicating that the user does not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret Do Not Track signals, Direct Solar does not currently respond to Do Not Track signal. We continue to work with the online industry to define a common understanding of how to treat Do Not Track signals. However, in the meantime, if you do want your use of the Daylight Energy Service not to be tracked so that we can send you targeted advertisements, please contact us as indicated in the “Contact Us” section below.
  • Third Party Cookies. We allow third parties with which we have a separate agreement to use cookies and other technologies to collect information about the use of the Site. These third parties include (1) business partners, who collect information when you view or interact with one of their advertisements on this Site; and (2) advertising networks, which collect information about your interests when you view or interact with one of their advertisements. The information gathered by these third parties is used to make predictions about your interests or preferences so that they can display advertisements or promotional material on this Site and on other sites across the Internet tailored to your apparent interests. We do not do not share with these third parties any information that would readily identify about you (such as email address); however, these third parties may have access to information about your device (such as IP or MAC address). We do not have access to, or control over, the technologies that these third parties may use to collect information about your interests, and the information practices of these third parties are not covered by this Privacy Policy.
  • Privacy Policy Changes. We may update this Privacy Policy in the future. We will post a copy of the new Privacy Policy with its effective date on this Site. We will notify you about material changes to this Privacy Policy in accordance with applicable laws.
  • Access to Information. You have a right to contact us in order to access or update any personal information that we may store about you.
