We at LeadVision appreciate how much you value your privacy. That is why we have developed this Privacy Policy: to describe the types of information we may collect from you, how we may use that information, how we store it and the steps we take to protect it, the circumstances under which we may disclose or transfer it, and the choices you have regarding submitting and maintaining the information you provide to us. We urge you to read this Privacy Policy, and to become familiar with our privacy practices.
By visiting GreenlifeSolar.com (the “Site”), you are consenting to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. This policy does not apply to the privacy practices of companies or organizations that are not owned or controlled by LeadVision, or to people who are not employed by LeadVision. This Privacy Policy is subject to change. When we change the Privacy Policy in a material way, a notice will be posted at the Site along with the updated Privacy Policy. If you are a returning user or a regular user of the Site, we recommend that you review the Privacy Policy to be sure you are familiar with its current terms.
If you have any questions or concerns about the privacy or security of your information, please let us know.
Personal information, as it is used in this Privacy Policy, is information that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to uniquely identify or contact a person. It is not necessary for you to provide LeadVision with personal information in order to read content that is publicly available at the Site.
However, if you wish to use certain resources and services that are available at the Site (including, but not limited to, the Site’s services (the “LeadVision Marketplace”), calculators, estimators, dashboards, self-evaluation guides (wizards), maps, summaries, digests, member forums, ratings, and reviews, etc.), you will be asked to provide LeadVision with certain personal information. That personal information may include your name, username, password, and your email address. You may also be asked to provide personal information if and when you contact LeadVision by telephone or by mail, depending on your reason for contacting us. Your personal information may be shared with LeadVision’s network of product manufacturers, independent installers and contractors, lenders and other financial institutions (“Third-Party Vendors”) for the purpose of providing you with price quotations for energy systems and marketing other products and services.
LeadVision will deliver the address information relating to your property to Third-Party Vendors if you (i) specifically request or instruct LeadVision in writing to deliver your address information to one or more Third Party Vendors, or (ii) you use the LeadVision Marketplace or some other means available at the Site to yourself make your address information available to one or more Third Party Vendors.
Certain resources at the Site, if you choose to use them, may require you to provide information concerning the physical attributes of your property, including (in addition to its street address, city or town, and ZIP Code) what type of building it is (residential, commercial, or industrial) the energy systems that are used to heat and cool it, the fuels that those energy systems consume (oil, gas, propane, etc.), the quantities of those fuels that are consumed annually, the amount of electricity you use, and so on. Information regarding the physical attributes of your property, including building type, the energy systems on your property, and the kind and quantity of the fuel they consume, etc., while detailed and specific, cannot be used to uniquely identify or contact you, and does not, by itself, qualify as personal information. If you wish to utilize these Site resources, however, you may first be required to provide LeadVision with certain personal information, as described in Section I, above, under the caption “Personal Information.” LeadVision will disclose this information regarding the physical attributes of your property, including building type, your energy systems, and the kind and quantity of the fuels those systems consume, etc. to Third Party Vendors to provide you with price quotations for energy systems and to market other products and services. LeadVision may also share aggregated information regarding the physical attributes of Users’ properties and their energy systems with academic and research institutions, the sponsors of grant programs, and with other public and privately owned entities that wish to learn more about the various markets that are served by LeadVision.
LeadVision may require you to provide us with the identifying numbers of your utility accounts, or any other identifying numbers that may be associated with them, such as a meter number, and you may, solely at your own discretion, choose to provide LeadVision with copies of your utility bills for analysis, and any identifying numbers, including account and meter numbers, may be included as part of the information included on such bills. LeadVision will disclose the identifying numbers associated with your accounts, including account and meter numbers, with Third-Party Vendors for the purpose of providing you with price quotations for energy systems and marketing other products and services.
If you decide to purchase, lease, or otherwise finance a renewable or clean energy system (such as a PV system) for your home or business, which may include entering into an agreement to purchase the energy produced by such a system (a “Power Purchase Agreement,” or “PPA”), and wish to be contacted by one or more Third-Party Vendors offering their services and products via the LeadVision Marketplace, you may be required to provide them with your name, your address and your telephone number, or other contact information so that they may communicate with you. This personal information will be shared with Third-Party Vendors if (i) you specifically request or instruct LeadVision in writing to deliver the information to one or more Third Party Vendors, or (ii) you use the LeadVision Marketplace or some other means available at the Site, to make your address and your telephone number, or other contact information, available to such Third-Party Vendors. Note that the installers and other Third-Party Vendors who offer their services and products via the LeadVision Marketplace are independent contractors: they are not owned or controlled by LeadVision, nor are they employed by LeadVision. We encourage you to contact the Third-Party Vendors who offer their services and products via the LeadVision Marketplace directly if you wish to learn more about their respective privacy policies and practices, and to find out how they may use your personal information, how they store it and the steps they take to protect it, the circumstances under which they may disclose or transfer it, and the choices you have regarding the manner in which they maintain it.
In addition to personal information that is disclosed to Third-Party Vendors (i) by LeadVision in response to your written request for LeadVision to make such disclosure, or (ii) you use the LeadVision Marketplace or some other means available at the Site to yourself make your personal information available to Third Party Vendors, your personal information may also be shared with third parties for marketing, or other commercial purposes that are related to the delivery and promotion of the resources, services, programs, and functionality that are hosted at the Site.

This California Consumer Privacy Act Notice (“CCPA Notice”) applies to “Consumers” as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). For the purpose of this CCPA Notice, personal information applies to “Personal Information” as defined by the CCPA (also referred to herein as “PI”).
We may collect the following types of PI:
If you submit any Personal Data to us relating to other people, you represent that you have the authority to do so and permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. By submitting PI, you grant LeadVision the right to transmit, monitor, retrieve, store and use your information in connection with the operation of the Site.
Types of Information We Collect Through Technology: When you use our Site, we use technology [such as Google Analytics] to gather information on how visitors are using the Site and Services. Specifically, we use technology to gather information about the following:
Types of Information We Collect from Third Parties: Our Business Partners and other third party affiliates may submit information about you to facilitate transactions on the Site, to better understand your home’s suitability for energy products, and for research to improve our Services.
In addition, we may collect, use and disclose your PI as required or permitted by applicable law, or as directed by you, in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We will make commercially reasonable efforts to identify Consumer PI that we collect, process, store, disclose, and otherwise use and to respond to your California Consumer privacy rights requests. We will typically not charge a fee to fully respond to your requests, but we may charge a reasonable fee, or refuse to act upon a request, if your request is excessive, repetitive, unfounded, or overly burdensome.
To make a request according to your right to request deletion of your PI, you may submit this form, OR send a request by email (from the email address that you have used to transact with Greenlife Solar) to [email protected]. To process this request, we may need to verify your identity.
You also have the right to send us a request, no more than twice in a twelve-month period, for any of the following categories for the period that is twelve months prior to the request date, by submitting this form, OR by sending a request by email (including the email address that you have used to transact with Greenlife Solar) to [email protected]:
To process this request, we may need to verify your identity.
You have the right to make or obtain a transportable copy, no more than twice in a twelve-month period, of your PI that we have collected in the period that is 12 months prior to the request date and are maintaining, by sending a request by email (including the email address that you have used to transact with LeadVision) to [email protected].
Please note that PI is retained by us for various time periods, so we may not be able to fully respond to what might be relevant going back 12 months prior to the request.
Except to the extent we have a basis for retention under CCPA, you may request that we delete your PI that we have collected directly from you and are maintaining. Note also that we are not required to delete your PI that we did not collect directly from you.
You may alternatively exercise more limited control of your PI by instead opting out of marketing emails by emailing [email protected]. To process this request, we may need to verify your identity.
We will not discriminate against you in a manner prohibited by the CCPA because you exercise your CCPA rights. However, we may charge a different price or rate, or offer a different level or quality of goods or service, to the extent that doing so is reasonably related to the value of the applicable data. In addition, we may offer you financial incentives for the collection, sale and retention and use of your PI as permitted by the CCPA that can, without limitation, result in reasonably different prices, rates, or quality levels. The material aspects of any financial incentive will be explained and described in its program terms. Please note that participating in incentive programs is entirely optional, you will have to affirmatively opt-in to the program and you can opt-out of each program (i.e., terminate participation and forgo the ongoing incentives) prospectively by following the instructions in the applicable program description and terms. We may add or change incentive programs and/or their terms by posting notice on the program descriptions and terms linked to above so check them regularly.
Do Not Track is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user turns on the Do Not Track signal, the browser sends a message to websites requesting them not to track the user. For information about Do Not Track, visit www.allaboutdnt.org. At this time, LeadVision does not respond to Do Not Track browser settings or signals. In addition, LeadVision may use other technology that is standard to the Internet, such as pixel tags, web beacons, and other similar technologies, to track visitors to GreenlifeSolar.com or one of the affiliated pages. Those tools may be used by us and by third parties to collect information about you and your internet activity, even if you have turned on the Do Not Track signal.
