  1. Home
  2. Privacy Policy

We take your privacy seriously, and this Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information about you when you visit our website, use our services, or interact with us (collectively, the "Services"). Please read it carefully.

This Policy applies to all visitors, registered users, and business contacts who interact with our Services, whether as buyers, sellers, or browsers. It covers our online and offline data practices, including our use of cookies and third-party tracking technologies.

If you are a California resident, please pay particular attention to Section 10 (Your California Privacy Rights), which describes your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") and California Invasion of Privacy Act ("CIPA").

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, please also review Section 11 (Notice for EEA, UK, and Switzerland Residents).

By using our Services, you acknowledge this Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Services.

1. WHAT DOES THIS POLICY COVER?

This Privacy Policy covers information we collect through our website, mobile applications, online portals, email communications, and any other digital or offline touchpoint that links to this Policy (collectively, the "Services"). It does not cover third-party websites, applications, or services that may link to or from our Services. Those third parties have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

This Policy also applies to business-to-business contacts, including contacts with our customers, suppliers, and partners in accordance with applicable law.

Employment Information: This Policy does not cover personal information we collect from job applicants, employees, or contractors in an employment capacity.

We will not use your personal information for materially different or incompatible purposes without providing you with advance notice and, where required by law, obtaining your consent.

6. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

A. Service Providers and Contractors

We disclose personal information to third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as web hosting, analytics, payment processing, customer support, marketing, and email delivery. These disclosures are made under written contracts that limit the service provider's use of your information to the specific business purpose for which it was shared and prohibit further sale or sharing of the information.

B. Third-Party Advertising and Analytics Partners

We share (and, in some cases, sell) personal information, including identifiers, device data, and internet activity with the third-party advertising networks, analytics providers, and marketing platforms listed in Section 4 (Cookies and Tracking Technologies). This sharing enables cross-context behavioral advertising and audience profiling. You have the right to opt out of this sharing. See Section 10 for details.

C. Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you as required by applicable law.

D. Legal Requirements and Protection of Rights

We may disclose your personal information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to: comply with applicable law or legal process; respond to a court order, subpoena, or government request; enforce our Terms of Service or other agreements; protect the safety, rights, or property of us, our users, or others; or prevent fraud or other illegal activity.

E. With Your Consent

We may share your information with your consent or at your direction for purposes not described in this Policy.

What We Do Not Do
  • Mobile phone numbers: We do not share mobile phone numbers provided to us for messaging or security purposes with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
  • Sale to data brokers for direct marketing: We do not sell your personal information to data brokers for their own direct marketing use (California Shine the Light Law, Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.83).

7. SOURCES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect personal information from the following categories of sources:

Directly from you, through registration forms, account creation, purchases, inquiries, and communications.

Automatically from your device and browser when you use our Services, via cookies and similar technologies described in Section 4.

From our service providers, including analytics platforms, advertising networks, and customer relationship management systems.

From third-party platforms and data partners, including social media platforms when you interact with our advertising, and business data providers.

From publicly available sources, including business directories and public records.

8. HOW WE RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The retention periods outlined in Section 3 apply to each category of personal information.

In determining retention periods, we consider: the nature and sensitivity of the information; our legal obligations; the purposes for which we collected it; whether we can achieve those purposes by other means; and the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure.

At the end of the applicable retention period, personal information will be securely deleted, destroyed, or de-identified. We maintain a confidential record of deletion requests in accordance with the CCPA.

9. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

We implement and maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls, regular security assessments, and vendor security requirements.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. While we work diligently to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a data breach that triggers notification obligations under applicable law, we will notify you as required.

You are also responsible for protecting the security of your account credentials. Do not share your password with others, and notify us immediately if you believe your account has been compromised.

10. YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

This section applies to California residents and provides disclosures required by the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"), and the California Invasion of Privacy Act ("CIPA"). Terms used in this section have the meanings defined under those laws.

A. Your CCPA Rights

As a California resident, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • Right to Know (Access): You may request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, our business or commercial purposes for collecting it, and the categories of third parties we shared it with. You may make up to two requests in any 12-month period.
  • Right to Data Portability: As part of your right to know, you may request a copy of the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you in a readily usable, portable format.
  • Right to Deletion: You may request that we delete personal information we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., where retention is necessary to complete a transaction, comply with law, or ensure security).
  • Right to Correction: You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
  • Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing: You may direct us to stop selling or sharing your personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. See "How to Opt Out" below.
  • Right to Limit Sensitive Personal Information: As described in Section 3, we do not use sensitive personal information beyond the CCPA's Permitted SPI Purposes, so this right is not currently applicable.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA rights. We will not deny you goods or services, charge different prices, or provide a different level of quality because you exercised your rights.
B. Personal Information Sales and Sharing Disclosure

In the preceding 12 months, we have shared (and may have sold) the following categories of personal information with third-party advertising and analytics partners for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes: Identifiers (Category A), Internet or Network Activity (Category F), and Geolocation Data (Category G).

The third parties who received this information include the advertising networks, analytics providers, and marketing platforms identified in Section 4. This sharing occurred automatically upon page load, prior to any user interaction, through the third-party tracking technologies described in Section 4.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers we know are under 16 years of age.

C. How to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing

To opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, you may:

Click "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" in the footer of our website.

Use a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. We honor browser-based GPC signals as a valid opt-out request. When we detect a GPC signal from your browser, we will process it as a request to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information.

Submit a request by email to data.privacy@sunhub.com.

We will process your opt-out request within 15 business days. We will notify our service providers, contractors, and downstream third parties of your request. We will not ask you to reauthorize the sale or sharing of your personal information for at least 12 months after you opt out.

D. How to Exercise Your Other Rights

To exercise your rights to know, delete, or correct, please submit a verifiable request by:

  • Emailing us at: data.privacy@sunhub.com
  • Calling us at: (800) 409-9172

We will confirm receipt of your request within 10 business days and provide a substantive response within 45 calendar days.

You may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf; we may require written authorization from you confirming the agent's authority.

E. CIPA Notice

The California Invasion of Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 638.51) restricts the installation or use of pen register processes, technologies that capture addressing or signaling information from electronic communications without a court order or the user's informed, specific consent. The third-party tracking technologies described in Section 4 may, depending on their technical operation, function as pen register processes under CIPA by capturing IP addresses and device/browser identifiers transmitted as part of HTTP requests when you visit our website.

We are committed to obtaining your informed consent before deploying non-essential tracking technologies. Through our consent management platform (where deployed), you can accept or reject non-essential tracking technologies before they execute. Essential/operational technologies required to render the website may still operate, as they are necessary to provide the service you requested.

F. Shine the Light

California Civil Code § 1798.83 ("Shine the Light") permits California residents to request information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without your consent. For questions about this, contact us at data.privacy@sunhub.com.

11. NOTICE FOR EEA, UK, AND SWITZERLAND RESIDENTS
