These service providers may only access, process, or store Personal Data relevant to our instructions and to perform their duties for us.
We have your explicit consent to share your Personal Data.
We believe it is necessary to investigate potential violations of the Terms of Service, to enforce those Terms of Service, or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, or potential threats against persons, property, or the systems on which we operate our Site, and/or Services.
We determine that the access, preservation, or disclosure of your Personal Data is required by law to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of SolarFrame and users of our Site, and/or Services, or to respond to lawful requests by public authorities, including law enforcement requests.
We need to do so in connection with a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, reorganization, sale of some or all of our assets or stock, public offering of securities, or steps in consideration of such activities (e.g., due diligence). In these cases, some or all of your Personal Data may be shared with or transferred to another entity, subject to this Privacy Policy.

Does SolarFrame sell or rent my Personal Data?

No, we do not sell or rent your Personal Data. SolarFrame does not share your Personal Data with third parties for the purpose of marketing, sales, or enabling them to deliver their advertisements to you.

What rights do I have, and how can I exercise them?

Data storage, transfer, retention, and deletion

Where is my Information stored?

Information submitted to SolarFrame will be transferred to, processed, and stored within Europe. When you use the Software on your computing device, User Content you save will be stored locally on that device and synced with our servers. If you post or transfer any Information to or through our Site, and/or Services, you are agreeing to such Information, including Personal Data and User Content, being hosted and accessed.

How secure is my Information?

SolarFrame is committed to protecting the security of your Information and takes reasonable precautions to protect it. However, Internet data transmissions, whether wired or wireless, cannot ever be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and as a result, we cannot ensure the security of Information you transmit to us, including Personal Data and User Content; accordingly, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk.

We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data in transit. This is commonly referred to as transport layer security (“TLS”) or secure socket layer (“SSL”) technology.

Once we receive your data, we protect it on our servers using a combination of technical, physical, and logical security safeguards.

If SolarFrame learns of a security system breach, we may attempt to notify you and provide information on protective steps, if available, through the email address that you have provided to us or by posting a notice on the Site.

How can I delete my Personal Data from SolarFrame?

You can remove your Personal Data from SolarFrame at any time by sending us a formal request to do so. Please note that, for contractual reasons, we may not be able to delete your information if you have an ongoing account with us.

How long is Personal Data retained?

We may keep some of your Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary for our legitimate business interests, including fraud detection and prevention and to comply with our legal obligations including tax, legal reporting, and auditing obligations.

How this affects the ‘Refer a friend’ scheme

On completion of a project, part of our handover includes inviting our customers to leave us a review online, and to make any recommendations to friends and family who may be interested in our products. We may contact individuals who have been recommended and inform them of the recommendation made and seek their consent to contact them in the future about our business directly. We do not record any information without explicit consent of the individual, and as such any recommendations we receive are not recorded or added to a database.

Will this Privacy Policy ever change?

As SolarFrame continues to evolve, we may need to update this Policy to keep pace with changes in our Site, Software, and Services, our business, and laws applicable to us and you. We will, however, always maintain our commitment to respect your privacy. We will notify you of any material changes that impact your rights under this Policy by email (to your most recently provided email address) or post any other revisions to this Policy, along with their effective date, in an easy-to-find area of the Site, so we recommend that you periodically check back here to stay informed of any changes. Please note that your continued use of SolarFrame after any change means that you agree with, and consent to be bound by, the new Policy.
