City Light & Power, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates that principally operate within the utility services spaces in the United States (collectively, “we”, “our”, or “the Company”) recognize and respect that privacy is important to you. We created this Privacy Policy to help you understand how our Companies collect Personal Information, what types of Personal Information we collect, how we use it, the steps we take to safeguard it, and the choices you have regarding how it may be used and disclosed. By “Personal Information,” we mean information about you that identifies, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with you or your household.
This Privacy Policy outlines our practices with respect to the use and handling of Personal Information collected from users who access certain websites owned and/or operated by the Company (collectively, “Site” or “Sites”), or who share Personal Information with us by other means (collectively, "Users"). If you have arrived at this Privacy Policy through one of our affiliated companies’ Sites, then this Privacy Policy governs your use of the Site, any current or future mobile application (the “Mobile Application”), all interactive features, applications, widgets, social networks and social network “tabs”, and other online or wireless offerings that post a link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services” and, together with the Sites and the Mobile Application, the “System”).
When we refer to “you,” or “your,” we mean Users and persons accessing this Privacy Policy. If the person accessing this Privacy Policy through a Site acts on behalf of, or for the purposes of, another person, including a business or other organization, “you” or “your” also means that other person, including a business organization.
When you use one or more of the Sites, you consent to the collection, storage, use, disclosure, and other uses of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.
We encourage you to carefully read this Privacy Policy and use it to make informed decisions. In the event that you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our uses of your Personal Information, please contact us at privacy@clpinc.com.
This policy does not apply to our current and former employees and their family members, dependents, and beneficiaries; if you are a California resident who is a current or former employee of the Company or a family member, dependent, or beneficiary of any of our current or former employees, you may request access to our Employee Privacy Policy by sending an email to privacy@clpinc.com.
What Information Do We Collect?
Collection and processing of your Personal Information are necessary for performing our contractual obligations towards you, completing transactions that you have requested, providing you with our services, protecting our legitimate interests, and complying with legal and regulatory obligations to which we are subject. Because this Privacy Policy applies to multiple Sites owned and/or operated by the Company, not all Personal Information described below will pertain to or be collected from every User.
Generally speaking, we may collect two types of data and information:
Personal Information: The first type is personal information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with a particular individual or a household. Although not all of the following are applicable to each User, the categories and types of Personal Information that we may collect either online or off-line include:
- We collect Personal Information from you (or about you) when you provide it to us directly. For example, when you register for or login to our Site or you fill out a “contact us” form, you will be asked to provide certain details such as: first and last name, alias, mailing address, email address, telephone number, Site registration username and password, and other Site registration information.
- We collect Personal Information from your device when you access the Site. Such information includes geolocation data, IP address, unique identifiers (e.g., MAC address and UUID), and other information that relates to your activity throughout the Site.
Non-personal Information: The second type is non-personal information that is un-identified and non-identifiable information pertaining to Users that may be made available or gathered by your use of the Site. Non-personal Information may include your aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device, including certain software and hardware information (e.g., the type of browser and operating system your device uses, language preference, access time, etc.) in order to enhance the functionality of our Site. We may also collect information on your activity on the Site (e.g., pages viewed, clicks, actions, etc.). We do not know the identity of a User from which Non-personal Information is collected.

A business subject to the CCPA that collects a California Consumer's Personal Information must, at or before the point of collection, inform the consumer as to the categories of Personal Information to be collected and the purposes for which the categories of Personal Information shall be used.
A covered business must disclose and deliver the Personal Information the business collected about the consumer in response to a verifiable consumer request.
For purposes of the CCPA, “Personal Information” does not include:
- Publicly available information from government records;
- De-identified or aggregated consumer information; or

- health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data;
- Personal Information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

You have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our Service Providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.
As a CA resident you have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information (to the extent such an inaccuracy exists) that we maintain about you;

G. Privacy Policy Requirements.
A business must describe in its online privacy policy or in any California-specific description of consumer privacy rights the following, which must be updated at least once every 12 months:

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS: How To Make A CCPA Consumer Rights Request.
A. Instructions for Submitting a CCPA Consumer Rights Request to Us.
If you wish to exercise any of the CCPA consumer rights summarized above, such as a Request to Know or a Request to Delete Personal Information, you can do so in one of the following ways:
- Click on this submit a CCPA REQUEST to complete and submit the referenced web form;
- Call us at our Hotline 844-490-0002; or
- Reach us by email or U.S. mail at:
City Light & Power, Inc.
Attention: Chief Compliance Officer
6312 S. Fiddlers Green Circle Suite 200E
Greenwood Village, CO 80111
USA
Upon receiving a verifiable Request to Know Access or a Request to Delete, we will confirm receipt of the request within ten (10) business days and provide some information about how we will verify and handle the request, and by when you should expect to receive a response.
Please note that you may only make a verifiable consumer Request to Access or Request to access your data under the CCPA two times within any 12-month period.
B. Verification Of The Person Making A Consumer Rights Request.
If you are a California resident, when you submit a Right to Know, Right to Access, Right to Delete, or Right to Correct request through one of the methods provided above, we will ask you to provide some information in order to verify your identity and respond to your request. Accordingly, the verifiable consumer request must:
- Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative.
- Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request. Requests to delete or to know specific household Personal Information will not be granted unless each member of the household is verified.
C. Designating An Authorized Agent to Make A Request for You.
Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you designate and authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. For your protection, we will need some proof that someone seeking to act on your behalf is actually authorized by you to do so. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
D. Response Timing and Format.
We will try to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) calendar days of its receipt. If we need more time (up to a total of 90 calendar days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt.
If you are making a Request to Delete your Personal Information, we may re-confirm with you that you really want your information deleted after verifying your request.
If we cannot respond to or comply with your Request to Access or Request to Delete, for instance, because we cannot verify your identity or because an exception applies, we will explain the reasons we cannot comply with your request. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
