Blumi Solar ("Blumi," "Company," "we," "us," or "our") provides software, website tools, instant estimates, analytics, and related services for residential solar businesses and their prospective customers. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information when you access or use our website, embedded estimate experiences, dashboards, applications, communications, or other services that link to this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy applies to information we process in connection with Blumi, including information relating to homeowners, website visitors, solar companies, business customers, account users, prospective customers, and other individuals who interact with us or our services.

Depending on the context, Blumi may process information:
When a homeowner uses a Blumi-powered estimate experience associated with a particular solar company, information submitted by the homeowner may be made available to that solar company for follow-up, sales, proposal preparation, customer service, and related business purposes.
This Privacy Policy does not govern the privacy practices of third-party websites, solar companies, installers, financing providers, analytics providers, payment processors, or other third parties that are not controlled by Blumi. Those third parties may have their own privacy policies and data practices.
Section 02
We may collect information directly from you, automatically through your use of the services, from our business customers, from third-party service providers, and from publicly or commercially available sources.

Section 03
Blumi may use Google APIs and related Google services to support features such as address lookup, mapping, geocoding, location-based analysis, solar potential analysis, roof or imagery-based information, and other functionality that helps generate or support preliminary solar estimates.
Blumi's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements, where applicable.
Information obtained through Google APIs may be used to provide and improve user-facing features of Blumi, including estimate generation, property analysis, mapping, location validation, and related functionality.
Third-party data, including Google-derived information, may be incomplete, unavailable, delayed, inaccurate, or subject to change. Blumi does not guarantee the accuracy or availability of third-party data.

The legal basis for processing may vary depending on the type of information, the context in which it is collected, and the jurisdiction in which you are located.
Section 06
We may disclose information as described below.
If a homeowner uses a Blumi-powered estimate experience associated with a company, we may disclose homeowner-submitted information, estimate inputs, estimate outputs, interaction activity, and related lead context to that solar company.
This may include contact information, address information, energy usage information, solar preferences, estimate results, qualification signals, and other information reasonably necessary for the solar company to follow up, review the estimate, prepare a proposal or quote, or communicate with the homeowner.
We may share information with vendors, processors, contractors, and service providers that perform services on our behalf, including:
These service providers may access information only as necessary to perform services for us, subject to applicable contractual, legal, and confidentiality obligations.
For business customer accounts, information may be disclosed to authorized account users, administrators, employees, contractors, or representatives of that customer.
Business customers are responsible for managing their authorized users and for ensuring their use of information complies with applicable laws, their own privacy obligations, and their agreements with Blumi.
We may disclose information if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to:
We may disclose or transfer information in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, change of control, or similar business transaction.

Section 07
Blumi does not sell homeowner personal information to data brokers, advertisers, lead marketplaces, or unrelated third parties.
When a homeowner uses a Blumi-powered estimate experience associated with a participating company, Blumi may disclose the homeowner's submitted information, estimate inputs, estimate results, and related lead context to that participating solar company. This disclosure is made to provide the estimate experience, allow the participating solar company to review the estimate, respond to the homeowner's request, answer questions, and discuss solar options.
We do not treat this disclosure as a sale of personal information because it is part of the Blumi-powered service requested by the homeowner and is limited to the participating solar company connected to that experience.
Blumi does not sell homeowner estimate submissions for unrelated third-party advertising. Blumi does not disclose homeowner lead information to unrelated entities, data brokers, or lead resellers unless we provide additional notice and obtain any consent or opt-out rights required by applicable law.
Some privacy laws define "sale," "sharing," "targeted advertising," or similar terms broadly. Where applicable law gives you the right to opt out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising, you may exercise those rights as described in the "Your Privacy Rights" section below.
Section 08

These technologies may be used to:
You may control certain cookies through your browser settings or device settings. Disabling cookies may limit functionality or affect your experience.
Section 09
We may use information to send:
If you submit information through a Blumi-powered estimate experience, the connected solar company may contact you regarding your estimate, solar options, proposals, or related services. Such communications may be governed by that company's own privacy policy and legal obligations.
You may opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link where provided or by contacting the sender. You may still receive transactional, administrative, or service-related communications.
Section 10
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, contract, legitimate business need, dispute resolution, security, accounting, tax, or compliance obligation.
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the context in which it is processed. For example:
Certain Google API or third-party data may be subject to separate retention, caching, deletion, or use restrictions.
When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete, de-identify, aggregate, or securely retain it in accordance with applicable law and operational requirements.
Section 11
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
However, no method of transmission over the internet, electronic communication, or data storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for promptly notifying us of any suspected unauthorized access or security incident involving your account.
Section 12

Depending on your state, these rights may include rights to access, delete, correct, port, or opt out of certain processing of personal information.
Blumi does not sell homeowner personal information in the ordinary meaning of the term. If we engage in activities that applicable state law defines as "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising," we will provide any required notices and opt-out mechanisms.
We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of individuals under the age of 16.
Section 15
Blumi is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect data or personal information from children under 18.
We do not knowingly collect, solicit, request, sell, share, or market to or collect personal information or data from individuals under 18 years of age.
