Policy Last Updated: Aug 24, 2022

1. Information We Collect

Non-identifiable Session Data (IP Address, Cookies, Etc)

  • We collect anonymous tracking data of website visits, allowing us to analyze our website performance and make changes to improve the user experience.

  • We capture non-personally identifiable IP and user-session information for security purposes, such as analyzing malicious or questionable traffic.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google and Facebook, may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect or receive information from our website and use that information to provide measurement services and target ads.

  • In our newsletter, we track the percentage of people who open our newsletters; and we may track “clicks” via encoded URLs, meaning we track whether you click on the links contained in our e-mail messages. This information is used internally only to help us deliver relevant messaging and is not shared with any third parties.

Personally Identifiable Information (Email, Phone Numbers, Address, etc.)

  • Any personally identifiable information voluntarily submitted to us via contact forms is used for purposes of answering said inquiries. 

  • Users who submit information via a contact us form or signing up for events/webinars permit Green Mountain Solar to send them email communications.

  • You may be part of a user subset who has their email addresses encrypted, anonymized, and shared with vendors such as Google and Facebook for the purposes of creating advertising campaigns for similar groups of internet users (more about this form of advertising). Basically all it does it allow us to find like-minded people using computer algorithms. Your actual affinity group, tastes, demographic information, etc. is never reported back to us and the web vendors (Google, Facebook) do not know it was you who was part of this subset.

We never rent, sell, or otherwise share our lists with other vendors. If you choose to provide personal information about yourself, Green Mountain Solar will use this information only to communicate directly with you.
