4. Sharing and Disclosure of Your Information

We share Personal Information in these circumstances:

With Service Providers and Solar Partners: We share your information with trusted solar representatives, installers, or lead buyers who have opted in to our network for the purpose of providing solar quotes, consultations, or services. These parties are contractually required to use your information only for that purpose and to protect it.

We do not "sell" your Personal Information as defined under CCPA/CPRA in the traditional sense (e.g., for monetary payment without a service relationship). However, sharing for lead matching purposes may be considered "sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising" under CPRA in some cases—see California Rights section below.
