If you do not agree with these terms, you are requested not to provide any Personal Information to Solpex Energy. Unfortunately, certain services can only be offered if you provide Personal Information to Solpex Energy.

Solpex Energy collects only such information from individuals or organizations as is required for the purposes of providing services or information to them.

Accuracy
Solpex Energy endeavors to ensure that any Personal Information provided and in its possession is as accurate, current and complete as necessary for the purposes for which Solpex Energy uses that information.
Retention
Solpex Energy keeps Personal Information only as long as it is required for the reasons it was collected. The length of time information is retained varies, depending on the product or service and the nature of the information. This period may extend beyond the end of a person’s relationship with us but it will only be for so long as it is necessary for us to have sufficient information to respond to any issues that may arise at a later date. When your Personal Information is no longer required for Solpex Energy ’s purposes, we have procedures to destroy, delete, erase or convert it into anonymous form.
Security
Solpex Energy endeavors to maintain adequate physical, procedural and technical security with respect to its offices and information storage facilities so as to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure or modification of Personal information. Solpex Energy further protects Personal Information by restricting access to it to those franchisees and/or employees that the management of Solpex Energy has determined need to know that information in order that Solpex Energy may provide services. Solpex Energy franchisees and employees are informed of the importance of protecting your privacy and are expected to maintain the confidentiality of Solpex Energy client information at all times.
In terms of communicating Personal Information to Solpex Energy , you may wish to note that there is no method of transmitting or storing data that is completely secure. While the physical characteristics of each are different, mail, telephone calls, faxes and transmissions over the Internet are all susceptible to possible loss, misrouting, interception and misuse of the information being communicated or transmitted.
As do many organizations, Solpex Energy attempts to strike a reasonable balance between security and convenience. In communicating with clients and others, Solpex Energy often requests the right to use a method of communication that is less secure than some of its less convenient alternatives. An example of this is email. At this time, when we use email, it may be sent as unencrypted plain text. We do this because Solpex Energy believes that many of our clients and others cannot readily process encrypted email. This is done for the convenience of our clients but has the security concern that, if misrouted or intercepted, it could be read more easily than encrypted email.
Solpex Energy website
Solpex Energy provides clients and others with general access to its website. When you visit Solpex Energy’s website without registering or otherwise interacting with the website, your personal information and email address are not recorded. When you leave Solpex Energy ’s website by linking to another website, you are subject to the privacy and security policies of the new website. Solpex Energy encourages you to read the privacy policies of all websites you visit, especially if you shared any personal information.
Information collected to date

Solpex Energy is operating on the understanding that Solpex Energy has your consent to collect, use and disclose your personal information collected to date. You may refuse or withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and providing Solpex Energy with reasonable notice of the withdrawal of your consent.
