OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY
Thank you for visiting the MidAmerica Solar, LLC website.
Protecting consumer privacy is very important to us. Our Online Privacy
Statement is available to inform you about our collection and use of personal
information so that you can make informed choices about how your own
information is collected and used. This Online Privacy Statement reflects The
MidAmerica Solar policies covering personal information collected at this
website.
We believe that information used responsibly benefits consumers and the
economy, whether it is information we house on behalf of consumers conducting
transactions or information we collect on behalf of our business clients. For
example, we use consumer information every day to ensure fast and accurate
processing of transactions. In addition, The MidAmerica Solar strives to
better serve our customers by offering goods we believe fit their needs and
interests. When identifying an opportunity, MidAmerica Solar may use
consumer information it has collected in an effort to identify consumers who
may be interested in that opportunity. Each day we strive to reinforce
our commitment to our customers. Central to that commitment is ensuring that we
abide by a set of privacy policies, which are outlined below. These policies
guide us in the collection and use of information as well as responsibilities
in protecting your privacy. We use personal information about consumers only in
a manner consistent with these policies.
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
MidAmerica Solar collects personal information in order to offer or
provide goods to customers. We may obtain this information from a variety of
sources:
· Directly from customer applications, questionnaires and other materials
submitted to us by customers;
· From transactions in which MidAmerica Solar and consumers are involved;
· From clickthru activity on our web sites; and
· From a variety of third-party sources, such as our business customers,
government repositories, consumer reporting agencies and other financial
institutions.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
MidAmerica Solar does not disclose customer information to third parties
without first giving customers an opportunity to opt-out of certain kinds of
disclosures. There are some disclosures to third parties that are not subject
to the opt-out, such as disclosures necessary to effect, administer or enforce
a transaction requested by you, to companies that perform services for us or to
prevent fraud.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROTECTING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF PERSONAL CONSUMER
INFORMATION.
MidAmerica Solar limits access to personal information to those employees
of MidAmerica Solar and its affiliates who need it to fulfill their
business responsibilities. Employees must adhere to MidAmerica Solar privacy policies. Employees violating these policies may be subject to
disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. Vendors and other
outside contractors we engage are subject to contractual requirements to ensure
that sensitive personal information is safeguarded.
WE USE APPROPRIATE SECURITY SAFEGUARDS.
At MidAmerica Solar, security is a priority. We employ appropriate
measures to protect consumer information against unauthorized access,
disclosure, alteration or destruction. These may include, among others,
encryption, physical access security and other appropriate technologies. MidAmerica Solar continually reviews and enhances its security systems, as
necessary.
WE MAINTAIN PROCEDURES TO ASSURE THE QUALITY OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
AND WHERE APPLICABLE, WE WILL INFORM CONSUMERS ABOUT HOW THEY CAN ACCESS THEIR
PERSONAL INFORMATION AND MAKE CORRECTIONS, IF NECESSARY.
MidAmerica Solar employs appropriate measures to assure the quality of
information we collect directly from consumers. Where MidAmerica Solar
collects information directly from consumers, we permit them, if possible, to
dispute or correct any erroneous or out-of-date personally identifiable
information. Of course, this correction would not be possible if the
information is proprietary to one of our business customers, reflects
historical transaction information or if correction would violate the privacy
or legal rights of a third party. Where applicable, we abide by laws related to
such information. You can correct factual errors in your personally
identifiable information by sending us a written request that credibly shows
error. We reserve the right to independently verify claims made. To protect
your privacy and security, we also will take reasonable steps to verify your
identity before making corrections. We reserve the right to assess a service
charge for providing you any information in connection with your request.
