Who we share your data with
Under no circumstances will we rent or sell your Personal Information. We will only share your Personal Information with 3rd Parties for marketing purposes if you have granted us permission to do so, and in accordance with the Marketing section below. We share Personal Information in the following ways:
- within NovaVolta for purposes of data processing or storage.
- with NovaVolta’s service providers. Our service providers are not allowed to use, share, or retain your personal information except as permitted by us.
- with other third parties with your consent. Please note that if you consent to the disclosure of your Personal Information to a third party, that third party will apply its own privacy practices. You should carefully review the privacy notice of any third party before providing them with your Personal Information.
- with service providers, advisors or other third parties to the extent reasonably necessary to proceed with the negotiation or completion of a merger, acquisition or sale of all or a portion of our assets. If NovaVolta merges with, acquires or is acquired by another entity, Personal Information would be transferred as a whole to the successor entity.
- to comply with the law or legal process (such as responding to subpoenas or court orders), to comply with government reporting obligations and to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
- to protect our legal rights or those of others, such as protecting the NovaVolta or QikEasy brand or investigating violations of NovaVolta terms of use, violations of law, intellectual property infringement, misuse of NovaVolta websites, fraud or potential threats to personal safety.
In addition, we share aggregated anonymized information with third parties and service providers for a variety of purposes, including to analyze trends about home networking and utility use, to show third parties how their products could work with NovaVolta products and to generally improve our products and services. We’ve taken steps to ensure that this information cannot be linked back to you, and we require third parties to keep all shared information in its anonymized form. Any service providers with whom we share your Personal Information are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose. We will take all reasonable steps to make sure these service providers comply with the same privacy principles that govern our collection of your Personal Information. We will ask for your consent, such as by email response, opt-in box or click through agreement acceptance, before we use or share your Personal Information for any other purpose.
MARKETING
You have the right to ask us not to process your Personal Information for marketing purposes. We will inform you (before collecting your Personal Information) if we intend to use your Personal Information for marketing purposes, or if we intend to disclose your Personal Information to any third party for marketing purposes. We will give you choices about your Personal Information. Some choices are presentedå up front in the form of opt-in notices or acceptance boxes for marketing to you or sharing your Personal Information with third parties. You always have the choice to opt-out if you later change your mind. One form of opt-out is clicking the Unsubscribe link in a marketing email. This will take you off our marketing email list. Please note that these opt-in/opt-out choices do not apply to the receipt of mandatory website, service or software communications, such as update or downtime information, or receipt of order or shipping confirmations on NovaVolta website stores, which you may receive periodically as part of NovaVolta performing its contract with you, unless you cancel your service or order or terminate use of software in accordance with the applicable terms of use or license agreement.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
