Please see our Opt-out section for how to opt out of receiving these communications.
Profile
We store information that we collect through cookies and log files to create a profile of our users. A profile is stored information that we keep on individual users detailing their solar energy system preferences. Consequently, collected information is tied to the user’s personally identifiable information to provide the quote service and improve the content of the site for the user. This profile is used to tailor a user’s service from our Web site and may be used to direct pertinent HomeSolarAnswers.COM marketing promotions to them. We may share your profile with third party service providers in order to enhance your user experience and our services.
Cookie Disclosure
What’s a cookie?
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s hard drive for an extended period of time.
Why do we use cookies?
HomeSolarAnswers.COM uses cookies to restore users to a previous session after leaving the site. By setting a cookie on our site, we are able to save the information and settings provided by the user in an earlier session even if they have not registered.
Deleting cookies
If you have not registered with HomeSolarAnswers.COM, deleting cookies means that you may be unable to restore information from a previous session. There are a number of software and shareware programs available that are designed to periodically purge cookie files from your hard disk. We do not recommend these applications and, as such, cannot address any resulting support issues that may be related to the use of these programs.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/ time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Sharing
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell or otherwise disclose information about our website visitors, except as described here. We may share the information you provide among our solar installers and other third party service providers in order to help fulfill your information/service request. Please note that these third parties with whom we share your information may (i) use such personal information for their own purposes (including commercial purposes) as set forth in their respective privacy policies or (ii) may disclose or dispose of your information to other third parties in the course of their own business.

Business Transitions
In the event HomeSolarAnswers.COM goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be a part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified via info@HomeSolarUS.com or via a prominent notice on our Web site for 30 days prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. If as a result of the business transition, the users’ personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection they will be given choice consistent with our notification of changes section.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for information. For example, our order form has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but don’t want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists. Users who no longer wish to receive our emails and/or promotional communications may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to the email with “Remove” in the subject line or by emailing us at info@HomeSolarUS.com. Alternatively the user may contact us at 855-596-9567.
-or-
info@homesolarus.com
-or-
at: 524 Brighton Ave. Suite 8A Spring Lake, NJ 07762 to opt-out.
The most immediate method is to email us at info@HomeSolarUS.com. Please remember to include the email address or contact number that you would like to have removed.
Upon your request, we can (i) provide You with a list of all the companies to whom we have provided your contact information pursuant to this website and (ii) provide You the categories of information shared with the third parties.

Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we, info@HomeSolarUS.com, are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Security
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information is protected both online and off-line. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry – SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just ’surfing’. To learn more about SSL, visit VeriSign. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their passwords to re-gain access to user information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added; our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our users’ information is protected. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment in a locked facility. If users have any questions about the security at our Web site, users can send an email to info@homesolarus.com
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate users’ personally identifiable information. This can be done by emailing our Customer Support at info@HomeSolarUS.com. Or, contact us by telephone or postal mail at the contact information listed below.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
In some cases where we post a notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
