Silicon Valley Power (SVP) has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate its firm commitment to privacy and the security of your personal information.

SVP's goal in collecting personal information online is to provide you with the most effective service possible.

Our goal is to protect your online information in the same manner that we protect citizen and business information obtained through other means.

What We Do to Secure Your Information

We store your personal information in databases in servers located behind a firewall in order to protect against the unauthorized access to, or the compromise of, information contained on our servers.

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. When you login to view your account information, we ensure your privacy by encrypting your password, and related information sent between your browser and our server using industry standard 128-bit cryptography so that if this information is intercepted, it cannot be read.

However, you should know that in the present technological environment, no security measures are perfect, and that neither we, nor any other Internet site, can fully eliminate these security risks.

Should there be an unauthorized access or suspected compromise of your personal information on our servers, we will immediately notify you through a written letter or other means so that you will be able to quickly take steps to prevent possible identity theft.

Email Address

On certain occasions, we may request your email address for purposes of correspondence or for SVP business. SVP will not share email addresses with anyone outside SVP or disclose user information to any third party, unless under a court order, including, but not limited to the California Public Records Act.

Log Files

SVP does not release any information about the collection of IP addresses to any third party except under court order. SVP's website archives web server log files in order to create aggregate statistical reports, detect errors at the website, and implement security protocols. Aggregate reports about website visitors are generated. These reports do not contain any personally identifiable information. The web log files are eventually deleted.

Direct Mail

In the future, SVP may use the personal data provided online to send you information about SVP's services and upcoming activities. We will neither sell nor provide your personal information for any other direct mail activities, unless under court order.

Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
