Please refer to your device's settings or your Internet browser's "Help" section for more information on how to delete and/or disable cookies or to control your tracking preferences.

Our Sites may not recognize "do not track" requests or headers from some or all browsers. We may use cookies or other technologies to deliver more relevant advertising and to link data collected across other computers or devices that you may use.

B. Interest-Based Advertising Choices

To understand your choices for receiving more relevant advertising provided on the Sites or across other websites and online services, please review the information below:

C. Unsubscribing from Our Marketing Communications

We provide our customers, as well as individuals referred by our customers, with the opportunity to opt out of having their information used for purposes not directly related to placement, processing, fulfillment, or delivery of a product or service.

To opt out of marketing communications or to request to be added to our Do Not Call List or Do Not Mail List, you may use one of these convenient methods:

Email Offers: If you receive commercial email from us, you may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions contained within the email, or by sending us an email at info@sunrun.coma or writing to us at the addresses listed below. You should note that unsubscribing from our emails will not automatically unsubscribe you from emails sent by any third party, and you will need to separately unsubscribe from such third party's communication, if desired.

Direct Mail Offers: If you do not wish to be notified by postal mail regarding products, services, events, programs, and offers that we believe you may find of interest, send us an email or write to us at the addresses listed below.

Telemarketing: If you do not want to receive marketing phone calls from us, you may: (i) email us at info@sunrun.com with "Do Not Call" in the subject line; (ii) call customer care at 800-680-8554; (iii) ask to be placed on our Do Not Call list when you receive a call from us; or (iv) mail us at the address listed below. Once we place your name on our internal "Do Not Call" list, we will no longer call you for marketing purposes (unless you submit another inquiry or request another consultation/quote from us after your initial do-not-call request). We will honor your request as soon as reasonably practicable. You may still receive calls from third parties who are not calling on our behalf regarding their products and services, and you will need to separately request that those parties not call you.

If you receive marketing communications from one or more of our affiliates or subsidiaries, you must opt out individually from each of the brands from which you are receiving brand-specific marketing communications.

D. With Respect to Other Third-Party Communications

Any third parties to whom we may disclose your information may have their own privacy policies which describe how they use and disclose your information, and your choices. If you want to learn more about their privacy practices, we encourage you to visit the websites of those third parties. Service providers who process personal information on our behalf are not third parties for purposes of this section.

If you become a Sunrun customer, you can create an account with us. You can contact your sales representative or Sunrun Customer Care representative to request a correction to or deletion of certain information you provided in connection with your account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

 

6. NOTICE OF ACCESSING, COLLECTING, STORING, USING AND DISCLOSING ENERGY USAGE INFORMATIONBack to top

To standardize some of the rules regarding customer privacy, the California Public Utilities Commission has issued “Rules Regarding Privacy and Security Protections for Energy Usage Data.” These rules allow us to disclose information about a customer (or a customer’s family, household, or residence) to a third party without the customer’s consent as is necessary for us to:

• Provide or bill for electrical power services;
• Provide services required by state or federal law or as specifically authorized by an order of the California Public Utilities Commission;
• Plan, implement or evaluate energy management, demand response or energy efficiency programs under contract with us or with the California Public Utilities Commission. To opt-out of sharing your information for this purpose, please email us at info@sunrun.com.

7. THIRD PARTY CONTENT, LINKS, AND PLUG-INSBack to top

The Sites may contain links to third parties who partner with us. If you use those links, these third parties may collect information about you. We do not control third-party links or how these third parties collect and use your personal information. If you have any questions about their privacy practices, you should view their privacy policies and/or contact those third parties directly.

The Sites also may offer you the ability to interact with social plugins from social media sites, which may allow us and/or the social media site to receive data from or about you. In some cases, we may know that you clicked on a social plugin, such as a Twitter Follow button, or received other information from the social media sites. Similarly, if you have previously provided personal information to a third party operating a plug-in on the Sites, then such third party may recognize you on the Sites. Your choice to use social network plugins and provide your information to them is subject to each social media site's privacy policy, which may be different from ours, so please read these policies carefully to understand their policies and your options. As with linked sites, we have no control over the information that is collected, stored, or used by social network plugins, and are not responsible for the practices of such sites.

 

8. CHILDREN'S PRIVACYBack to top

Protecting children's privacy is important to us. We do not direct the Sites to, nor do we knowingly collect any personal information from, children under the age of sixteen. If we learn that a child under the age of sixteen has provided personally identifiable information to the Sites, we will use reasonable efforts to remove such information from our files.

 

9. DATA SECURITYBack to top

We have implemented measures designed to secure your information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee our security measures.

 

10. CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICYBack to top

We will post any changes to our Privacy Policy here, as well as provide a notice of the update on applicable website and mobile app home pages. If we make material changes that allow us to use your personal information in a less restricted way, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you. The date the Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the bottom of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting the Sites to check for updates to the Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the Sites and/or Services after we change the Privacy Policy means you accept those changes.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. However, if necessary, we may retain personal information for longer periods of time, until set retention periods and deadlines expire, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, tax and accounting requirements set by a legislature, regulator or other government authority.

To determine the appropriate duration of the retention of personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal information and if we can attain our objectives by other means, as well as our legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other applicable obligations.

Therefore, we retain personal information for as long as the individual continues to use our Sites and/or Services for the purposes explained in our Privacy Policy. When an individual discontinues the use of our Site and Services, we will retain their personal information for as long as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes and defend claims, as well as, for any additional purpose based on the choices they have made, such as to receive marketing communications. In particular, we will retain personal information supplied when joining our services, including complaints, claims and any other personal information supplied during the duration of an individual’s contract with us for the services until the statutory limitation periods have expired, when this is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Once retention of the personal information is no longer necessary for the purposes outlined above, we will either delete or de-identify the personal information or, if this is not possible (for example, because personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store the personal information and isolate it from further processing until deletion or de-identification is possible.
