Origis Energy may aggregate information so that the information no longer identifies or can be used to identify an individual (“Anonymized Information”). Origis Energy may share Anonymized Information with third parties and does not limit third parties’ use of the Anonymized Information because it is no longer personal information.
We do not use or disclose any sensitive personal information we collect for any purpose other than to provide our goods or services; to prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents; to resist malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal actions directed at Origis Energy, including to prosecute those responsible for such actions; to ensure the physical safety of persons; short-term transient use (e.g., non-personalized advertising shown as part of a consumer’s current interaction with the business, where that personal information is not disclosed to a third party and is not used to build a profile about the consumer or otherwise alter the consumer’s experience outside the current interaction of the business); to perform services on behalf of the business (e.g., maintaining or servicing accounts, providing customer service, processing or fulfilling orders and transactions, verifying customer information, processing payments, providing financing, providing analytic services, providing storage); to verify or maintain the quality or safety of a service or device that is owned, manufactured, or controlled by Origis Energy or to improve, upgrade or enhance such service or device; or for purposes that do not infer characteristics about a consumer.

We will use this information where you have provided your consent to the third party or to Origis Energy, or where Origis Energy has a legitimate interest in using information about you in order to provide you with the content or service requested. We will combine this information with personal information provided by you, in order to identify prospective customers or Services you’ll be interested in, to create more tailored advertising, and to improve the accuracy of our records.
We retain personal information in identifiable form only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the personal information was provided to Origis Energy or, if longer, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce agreements and similar essential purposes. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal information, the purposes for which we process personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
Origis Energy takes precautions intended to help protect information that we process but no system or electronic data transmission is completely secure.

This portion of the Notice supplements the information contained in our Notice above to describe the rights we provide to consumers, which are, for clarity, residents of certain states that have privacy regulations that are applicable to us. For residents of states without privacy regulations, or where your state regulation does not cover all of the following rights or choices, we will consider requests regarding such rights but will apply our discretion in how we process such requests. For states that have passed privacy regulations, but are not yet in effect, we will also consider applying those state law rights that are applicable to us prior to the effective date of such laws but will do so in our discretion.
As permitted by applicable privacy regulations, certain requests that you submit to us are subject to an identity verification process (“verifiable consumer request”) as described below in the How to Exercise These Rights section. We will not fulfill such requests unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we have collected personal information.
1. Your Rights and Choices
The applicable privacy regulations may provide the following rights regarding your personal information:
Right to Know – Categories Request. You have the right to request, twice in a 12-month period, that we disclose the following information about the personal information we have collected about you during the past twelve (12) months:
Right to Know – Specific Pieces. You have the right to request a transportable copy of the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you in the 12-month period preceding your request. Please note that personal information is retained by us for various time periods, so there may be certain information that we have collected about you that we do not retain for a 12-month period and thus, it would not be able to be included in our response to you. Also, under your applicable state’s law, you may be limited to a certain number of “right to know” requests in any 12-month period.
Right to Correct Information. You have the right to request we correct any inaccuracies that you find in your personal information maintained by us. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct any inaccurate information and we will instruct our service providers or any contractors to correct such information. We will also inform you whether or not we have complied with your request, including any basis for denial of the request.
Right to Delete. You have the right to request that we delete any personal information about you that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Please understand that we cannot delete personal information in those situations where our retention is required for our own internal business purposes or otherwise permitted by relevant privacy regulations. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our Service providers to delete) the personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
Right to opt out of the sale or share personal information for cross-contextual behavioral advertising. Origis Energy does not sell or share Personal Information for cross-contextual behavioral advertising purposes.
Right to Limit Sensitive personal information Use. Depending on your state of residence, you may have had to provide consent for us to process sensitive personal information, as that term is defined under your applicable state’s law. Subject to certain exceptions, you may have the right to revoke such consent. You can make such a request using the methods described below in the How to Exercise these Rights section.
Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights.
2. How to Exercise these Rights
To submit a request to exercise these rights you may use one of these three methods:
For all requests, please clearly state that the request is related to “Your Privacy Rights.”
Only you, or a person registered with the applicable Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to personal information about you. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. If you submit a request on behalf of another person, we may require proof of authorization and verification of identity directly from the person for whom you are submitting a request.
To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your personal information or considering your deletion or correction request (and in some cases your request to know). The verifiable consumer request must:
We are not responsible for notices that are not labeled or sent properly or that do not include complete information.
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.
We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact us by calling 1-844-303-8220 or emailing us at privacy@origisenergy.com. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response electronically. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide the personal information that is readily usable 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.
3. Opt-out Preference Signals
Our website honors General Privacy Control (“GPC”) opt-out preference signals, which is a signal sent by a platform, technology, or mechanism, enabled by individuals on their devices or browsers, which communicate the individual’s choice to opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information. To employ the GPC signal, you can download one of the supporting browsers and browser extensions (e.g., see listing Global Privacy Control — Take Control Of Your Privacy). For more information about GPC opt-out preference signals please visit: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.

5. California Shine the Light Law
