Home Energy Analysis Tool (HEAT)

Privacy Policy

The Home Energy Analysis Tool (HEAT) is a project of the HeatSmart Alliance. HEAT retains information that users enter about themselves or others that may not be publicly available, such as an individual’s name in connection with an email address and/or mobile phone number. We consider the aggregation of these data to be personal information. The Alliance strives to use personal information consistent with the intent of the provider (i.e., the individual whose information we possess). As such, the Alliance:

• Collects personal information for the purposes of a) providing and communicating about the services the individual is requesting, and b) gathering information to improve our services
• Does not, in general, share personal information with individuals or organizations outside the Alliance unless the provider explicitly authorizes such sharing. Exception: The Alliance may share personal information provided in a coaching request, or other requests for assistance, with another organization that is known to the Alliance to provide such services
• Limits access to personal information to the user who entered the information and Alliance Members who have specific responsibilities requiring such access
• Provides individuals with access to this privacy policy whenever we request personal information.
