Please regularly check this Privacy Policy for any such updates.
Your use of our Site and Services may require that you provide certain PI, which is information that identifies you as an individual or relates to you as an identifiable individual.

We may collect PI from you when you use our Site and Services. While we do not require you to provide PI to navigate our Site, we must collect certain PI and PII if you choose to use our Services. PII includes information such as your Social Security number, driver’s license number, state identification card number, bank account number, credit card or debit card number, or unique biometric data, when that information is associated with your name. We may also collect PI and PII when you create or modify an online account, complete any self-service transaction with us online, or otherwise provide us with PI and PII in any correspondence. This may include any of your questions, comments, or suggestions submitted through our Site or if you fill out a survey.
When you voluntarily provide us with a cell phone number on our Site, you are giving us express written consent to use that number for the purpose indicated, or if given with regard to your utility account or other account with us, you are giving us express written consent to communicate information to you that is closely related to such account, so long as you have not given us instructions to the contrary.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
“Cookies” are small text files that are stored within your computer’s or mobile device’s memory by a website through your browser. Cookies enable a website such as ours to track your activities on that website, and to improve your use of the website, such as by remembering your preferences.
You can change your browser settings on your personal computer or mobile device so that cookies are not stored. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Site, but you may not have access to some of our Site’s functions and your ability to use some areas of our Site may be limited.
We may also use other website or mobile tracking technologies to identify you and remember your preferences, prevent fraudulent activity or improve Site security, assess the performance of our Site, and deliver content to you based on your interests on our Site and third-party websites.
Use of Aggregate Information
Aggregate information is statistical or aggregated information that does not directly identify you or any specific person, but it may be derived from information you provide to us, including PI. For example, we may aggregate PI to calculate the percentage of users in a particular ZIP code.
There may be content or applications accessible through our Site or via links on our Site provided by third parties, including analytics companies, payment processors, advertising providers and the like.

The information they collect may be associated with your PI, or they may collect additional information, including PI, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services.
We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy policies, practices, and/or content of these third-party websites. Any PI or PII collected on a third-party website is governed by the privacy policy of that website. Please contact such third-party website directly for more information about the privacy of your PI or PII. We also do not control the third-parties’ tracking technologies that are accessible through our Site or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should read the associated privacy policy provided by the third-party website or contact the responsible provider directly. Some of these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used for targeted advertising. For example, some of these third parties may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”), which provide a single location where you can opt out of certain types of data collection or opt out of receiving targeted ads from member companies. To opt out with respect to members of the NAI, you may visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. To opt out with respect to members of the DAA , you may visit www.aboutads.info.
We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google. Google Analytics utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of our Site and may share this data with other Google services. You can learn more about Google’s privacy practices by visiting their website at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. We also use the web customer satisfaction survey services of Survale, Usabillla (also known as SurveyMonkey) and Medallia.

We use the PI we collect in any or all of the following ways:
You agree that we may share information, including PII, with third parties, for the purposes described below:
With Your Consent: We may request your permission to share your PI for a specific purpose not described above. In such case, we will notify you and request consent before you provide the PI or before the PI you have already provided is shared for such purpose. SMS opt-in consent information is not shared with third parties for promotional purposes.
The security of your PI and PII is important to us. We maintain physical, technical, and administrative security controls to protect and limit access to your PI and PII. However, no method of information transmission over the Internet or electronic storage technology is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your PI and PII, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
You should exercise discretion in what information you send to us by email. Email sent over the Internet may not be secure and can be intercepted by others before it reaches us. We are not responsible for the security of information contained in emails sent to us over the Internet.
