This section summarizes the key points of our Privacy Policy. Please review the full policy to find additional information and to better understand our policies and your rights related to the same.

What information we collect about you and how we collect it depends on our relationship with you. Please note that some of the personal information we request is required for your use of WattB, and some of the personal information we request is required to enjoy the full benefit of WattB. Accordingly, your refusal to provide certain personal information may prevent or limit your use and enjoyment of WattB. We collect several types of information from and about individual users, including information by which you might be personally identified. A few examples of how and when this may happen include:

We may collect and use generalized, anonymous information about all visitors and users of products and services. This information cannot be used to identify or isolate your personal information. If you have questions or requests about your personal information or rights in connection with our collection of generalized, anonymous information, please contact us by any of the methods set out above in the introduction to these policies or below in the section 9 titled “Contact Us”.

We use and/or disclose personal information for the purpose of providing and improving our products and services to and for our users. Specifically, we use and/or disclose personal information in the following ways:

When we use and/or disclose personal information with third party vendors (for user servicing and maintenance or for business operational purposes), those vendors must abide by our privacy and security instructions and requirements. Third party vendors are not allowed to access or use information from us, except only as needed to do their particular work with us.

When we use and/or disclose personal information for legal purposes or in connection with our corporate business purposes, we will try to limit the information we provide as much as possible, and we will condition our sharing of that information on strict confidentiality restrictions as often as possible.

We may also use and/or disclose anonymized or generalized aggregated information with third parties for various reasons, including to promote and improve our products and services. In these circumstances, we will take appropriate measures to de-identify (and prevent any party from re-identifying) any information used or disclosed in this way.

As explained above, we may use your information for limited advertising and marketing purposes, including to contact you about products and services that we believe may be of interest to you, and for promotion and other resources that you may be interested in.

Our marketing communications will include instructions for how to opt-out of all or a portion of these communications, or change your preferences. You may also contact us by email at info@wattb.com to manage your marketing communication preferences at any time or by contacting us via the WattB website or at the address set out below.

We may use cookies, beacons, and other similar tracking technologies. For example, we use cookies to help us measure and improve our engagement with our users by analyzing the usage trends and patterns for our websites, platforms, and mobile applications, and to promote products and services that we believe may be of interest to you. In some cases, you may manage the use of cookies for our products and services by adjusting your individual browser settings. You may learn more about managing cookies here: https://www.aboutcookies.org. Please note that our products and services do not currently process “do not track” features offered by some browsers and devices.

The WattB website may use cookies to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize WattB pages, or register with WattB site or services, a cookie helps WattB to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same WattB website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the WattB features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. You may learn more about managing cookies here: https://www.aboutcookies.org. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the WattB services or websites you visit.

This California Privacy Notice applies only to individual users of our products and services who are residents of the State of California, and only where we act as a “business” with or for that individual. For example, this section applies for California residents who use our products and services as an individual user. For these users, this section is a supplement to the other parts of our policies.

This California Privacy Notice describes how we as a business collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal information of individual residents of the State of California within the scope of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). You have the right to request specific pieces of personal information that WattB has collected about you.

The categories of personal information that we have collected about consumers in the preceding 12 month and the sources from which we collect that information are listed below. WattB collects the following personal information for both business and commercial purposes as outlined in Section 3 above.

Please also see section 3 above for more information about how we may disclose personal information. We may in some instances disclose personal information with third parties for other purposes than what is set out in the table above (for example: in connection with our corporate business purposes or for legal purposes).

As also discussed in section 3 above, we may disclose personal information to the following categories of third parties for a business purpose. The following is a list of the categories of personal information WattB has disclosed for a business purpose about consumers for a business purpose in the preceding 12 months: Identifiers, customer record information, characters of protected classifications under California or federal law, commercial information, internet or other electric network activity information, and geolocation information.

Please also see section 2 above for more information about the personal information we collect. We may in some instances collect personal information other than what is set out in the table above (for example: for legal purposes).

If you are a qualifying California resident under CCPA, we provide the following rights with respect to your personal information when we act as a “business” with or for you (subject to certain limitations in the CCPA):

Please note that we will need to verify your identity before processing CCPA and other California requests, which may require us to request and obtain additional information from you. We will use that information only to review and address your requests. We reserve the right to decline or limit requests in certain circumstances – for example, when we are unable to verify your identity or locate information in our systems, when you have previously made two CCPA requests in the prior 12 months, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

You may designate, in writing or through a power of attorney, an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your CCPA and other California rights. Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require the agent to provide us with proof that you have authorized it to act on your behalf, and we may also need you to verify your identity directly with us.

Please note that we will also comply with valid requests from California residents that have an established business relationship with us under California’s “Shine the Light” law.

If you have questions or concerns, or would like to exercise any of your rights under the CCPA, please contact us at any of the following:

WattB cares about the security of your information. We take reasonable steps to protect information that we collect and store. We may choose to implement additional security features in the future.

Those third party policies may be materially different than our policies, especially with regard to information privacy and security.

There may be links or references on our products and services to other products and services that are offered by third parties. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy and security practices and policies of any third party. If you choose to access or use any such third party product or service, you do so at your own risk.

We may choose to sell our company to a third party in the future. User information, including personal information, is typically one of the assets that is transferred to the purchasing party in these transactions. You acknowledge and agree that the purchasing or acquiring party may continue to use user information, including personal information, as set out in this Privacy Policy.

We may change these policies from time to time in our discretion. Any changes will be effective immediately upon us posting the updated policy. New policies will be posted at this page, and we encourage you to review it regularly.
