We also collect information received from third parties to the extent
that they have represented that they have entered into an agreement with
you for connectivity of the Hi-Power products to our monitoring
platform. You may contact us to request that we disclose to you the
categories, sources, commercial purpose, categories of third parties we

The Personal Information we collect is used to process your requests or
transactions, to provide you high quality service, to customize the Site
according to your preferences, and to tell you about specific goods or
services we believe will be of interest to you. If you prefer not to

know. You can contact us at any time to decline promotional information
(see under the heading "Choice" below).
Sharing of Personal Information
Hi-Power does not sell or rent Personal Information to third parties
without your prior consent. Hi-Power does not share or disclose Personal
Information to third parties without your prior consent, except in the
limited circumstances described below under the heading "Disclosures".
Disclosures We may disclose Personal Information in the good faith belief
that we are required to do so by law, or that doing so is reasonably
necessary to comply with legal process or contractual necessity, respond
to any claims, or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of
Hi-Power, our customers, or the public. Information about our customers,
including Personal Information, may be disclosed if it is necessary for
legitimate purposes, for example as part of, or during negotiations of,
any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition. Other than in
circumstances enumerated above, we have a policy of obtaining a person's
consent if we intend to process his/her Personal Information. Protection
of Personal Information Hi-Power has put into place security measures in
an effort to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, or alteration
while it is under our control. Personal Information we collect is stored
electronically. We use technical, contractual, administrative, and
physical measures in an effort to protect against unauthorized access.
Account information is accessible online only through the use of a
password. To protect the confidentiality of Personal Information, you must
keep your password confidential and not disclose it to any other person.
If other people have access to your email, they may be able to obtain
access to your password and obtain Personal Information about you or
change information about your user profile. While we use reasonable
measures to protect information that is stored within our database, and we
restrict access to information to those employees who need access to
perform their job functions, such as our customer service personnel and
technical staff, we cannot guarantee the security of account information.
Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors
may compromise the security of account information at any time. We cannot
ensure the security of the information you transmit to us, and so we urge
you to take every precaution to protect your Personal Information when you
are on the Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination of
letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure browser.
Aggregate Information Personal information does not include "aggregate"
information. Aggregate information is data we collect about a group or
category of products, services or customers, from which individual
customer identities have been removed and a specific person cannot be
identified through such information. Aggregate information is also any
information or data that we collect from inverters and power optimizers
which are available to you via the Hi-Power Monitoring Platform. In other
words, information about how you use a service may be collected and
combined with information about how others use the same service, but no
Personal Information will be included in the resulting data. Likewise,
information about the products or services you use or purchase may be
collected and combined with information about the products and services
used or purchased by others, but no Personal Information will be included
in the resulting data. Among others, aggregate data helps understand
trends and customer needs so that new products and services can be
considered and so existing products and services can be tailored to
customer desires.
Hi-Power appreciates the importance of safeguarding the privacy of your
Personal Information that may be provided to us. Hi-Power does use and
disclose de-identified aggregate information, for the purposes of
evaluating and improving our services and tailoring our products and for
commercial purposes. Hi-Power may choose at its sole discretion to
transfer, sell, provide, or share such information with third parties,
including to Hi-Power's business partners for commercial purposes.

is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of websites to
which we link. Links from our site to third party's or other sites are
provided for your convenience. We encourage you to learn about the privacy
practices of each website before providing them with any information.

privacy statement at any time, but will alert you that changes have been
made by indicating at the bottom of the privacy statement the date it was
last updated. We encourage you to review our privacy statement to make

unrelated to uses we disclose in this statement, the amended Privacy
Policy will be posted on the Site for your acceptance or confirmation, and
you will be required to accept or confirm such changes prior to your
