What information do we collect?
We collect information from you when you register on the

When ordering or registering, we may ask you for your name,

You may, however, visit our site anonymously or purchase

We also collect information about gift recipients so that we

about gift recipients is not used for marketing purposes.
Like many websites, we use “cookies” to enhance your
experience and gather information about visitors and visits
to our websites. Please refer to the ”Do we use 'cookies'?”
section below for information about cookies and how we use
them.
We also receive and store click-stream data and other
information about visits to our websites which may be
combined with personal information you have provided. This

'cookies'?" section below.
How do we use your information?
We may use the information we collect from you when you
register, purchase products, enter a contest or promotion,
respond to a survey or marketing communication, surf the

ways:
To personalize your site experience and to allow us to

To allow us to better service you in responding to your
customer service requests.
To quickly process your transactions.
To administer a contest, promotion, survey or other site

How do we protect visitor information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the
safety of your personal information. Your personal
information is contained behind secured networks and is only
accessible by a limited number of persons who have special
access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the
information confidential. When you place orders or access
your personal information, we offer the use of a secure
server. All sensitive/credit information you supply is
transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and
then encrypted into our databases to be only accessed as
stated above.
Do we use “cookies”?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service
provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through
your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or
service provider's systems to recognize your browser and
capture and remember certain information. For instance, we
use cookies to help us remember and process the items in
your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand
your preferences based on previous or current site activity,
which enables us to provide you with improved services. We
also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about
site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer
better site experiences and tools in the future.
Do we disclose the information we collect to outside
parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside
parties your personally identifiable information unless we
provide you with advance notice, except as described below.
The term “outside parties” does not include California
Energy Contractors, Inc. wholly-owned companies. It also
does not include website hosting partners and other parties
who assist us in operating our website, conducting
California Energy Contractors' business, or servicing you,
so long as those parties agree to keep this information
confidential. We may also release your information when we
believe release is appropriate to comply with the law,
enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others'
rights, property, or safety.

include third party links on our site. These linked sites
have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore
have no responsibility or liability for the content and
