Privacy
1. Scope and Applicability.
This Privacy Policy only applies with respect to information Solar Technologies, Inc. (“Solar”) collects from websites on which a direct hyperlink to this “Privacy Policy” is posted. It describes the way Solar handles information learned about you from your visit to our website. Other websites (including those we link to) not owned or operated by or for Solar have different data processing practices for which Solar does not vouch or assume responsibility.
2. Collection of Information.
Solar may collect statistical information about you, such as the pages visited on the Solar websites, unique URLs visited within our websites, the domains from which people visit our websites, browser type and IP address. Generally, Solar does not link such information to any of your contact information (such as name, email address or user name). Most of this information would be collected via cookies or other analysis technologies. Accepting the cookies does not grant Solar access to your personal information, but Solar may use the cookies to identify your computer. Solar may also collect personally identifiable information about you that you voluntarily submit, such as by submitting a request or inquiry for products or services on our websites, filling out a form or survey, registering your email address with Solar or emailing us. Solar may also collect personal information from you at other points on our websites that state that personal information is being collected. Personally identifiable information that Solar collects from you may consist of your contact information, product purchase information or product usage information.
Solar is committed to protecting the privacy needs of children, and Solar encourages parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children and we do not knowingly market our products or services to children.
3. Disclosure.
Solar does not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to any third parties, unless otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy or required by law. Solar may share your personally identifiable information and aggregated (non-personally identifiable) information with our affiliates if lawfully allowed to do so. The affiliated companies may be in the United States or in other parts of the world. If required under applicable laws, whenever you submit personal information to Solar during your visit to our websites, Solar shall provide a method for you to (a) prevent the use of this information for marketing purposes or, (b) prevent the disclosure of this information to third parties for marketing purposes, if you so choose.
Solar may disclose your information when responding to subpoenas, court orders, government inquiries or legal processes, when establishing or exercising its legal rights or defending against legal claims, when performing contracts with you or in other circumstances permitted or required under applicable law.
Solar may collect and possibly share your information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding unlawful activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Use posted on our websites, or as otherwise required by law.
Solar could merge with or be acquired by another business entity or some or all of our assets could be acquired. If such a combination or acquisition occurs, Solar shall notify you by posting a prominent notice on our website in the event Solar shares with the merging or acquiring entity some or all of your personal information.
4. Use of Information.
Solar may use personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information for our marketing and sales purposes, for website administration, and for such purposes as expressly stated when you provided your information. Solar shall not use this information for other purposes, unless you consent to the new usage or if required or permitted by applicable law. When applicable, Solar shall use personally identifiable information to perform the services for which such data was collected. (For instance, if you order a product or service, Solar shall deliver the product or provide the service as requested or if you sign up for an email newsletter, Solar shall send the email newsletter to the address you provide us).
If you want to opt-out of receiving communications you have expressly requested (such as e-mail newsletters), you may do so by selecting the “opt-out” or “unsubscribe” link in each email that you receive from Solar or by returning to the website where you originally submitted your information, if applicable, and following the opt-out instructions therein.
Solar may send you e-mail communications with information, which may be useful to you, including information about available products and services. When you first provide Solar with your e-mail address, you will be given the option of not receiving any such e-mail communications. Solar shall include instructions in e-mail messages on how to unsubscribe if you later decide you do not want to receive any future e-mail communications.
From time-to-time, Solar may request information from users via surveys or other forms of questionnaires. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose the requested information. This information will be used for our marketing and sales purposes, for website administration and for such purposes as expressly stated in the survey.
Personal data provided to Solar in one country may be transferred to a different country for the purpose of processing, data consolidation, storage and simplified customer information management, unless prohibited by applicable law.
5. Cookies and Other Tracking Methods.
When you view Solar’s websites or advertisements, Solar may store some information on your computer. This information may be in the form of a “cookie” or similar file. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on the websites, to help you navigate a website as easily as possible. Cookies can help better understand how users use the websites, which in turn helps Solar focus its resources on features that are more popular with our users. If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing the Solar website, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies. If your browser permits, you can refuse a cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence or generally refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser, but some parts of the websites may not work properly in that case.
6. Security.
Solar is committed to protecting your privacy. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of the information, Solar has in place physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard the information it collects. However, E-mail communications are not necessarily secure when they are transmitted through the Internet. If your communication is sensitive or includes highly confidential information, you may want to consider providing it by post or via telephone. When appropriate, Solar limits the number of employees internally who may gain access to such data and instructs such employees that the data is to be strictly used in adherence with the principles set forth in this Privacy Policy and our internal policies and procedures.
7. Amendments.
Solar shall amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Such amendments shall become effective when posted at this URL or other section or sections of the website.
