Privacy Policy

Gold Path Solar is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect from you, how we use and safeguard it, and your choices regarding your data when you interact with our website and services.

Information We Collect: We collect personal information that you provide through lead capture forms, such as your name, contact details (email, phone number), address, and any project details you submit. If you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address (and name, if provided) to send you our updates. We also automatically collect certain data when you visit our website: this may include your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and other usage details, often through cookies and similar tracking technologies. For example, our site uses Google Analytics, which places cookies to gather information about site traffic and user behavior. These cookies help us understand how visitors use our site (e.g. which pages are popular) so we can improve the user experience. We may also use cookies to remember your preferences and for marketing/advertising purposes (such as showing Gold Path Solar ads on other sites you visit). You can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being used; however, some site features might not function properly without cookies. (Google also offers an Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on if you wish to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics.)

How We Use Your Information: Any personal information you provide is used to serve you and improve our services. Specifically, we use the information to respond to your inquiries and requests (for example, to provide a solar quote or consultation you requested), to contact you about our services (only in accordance with your indicated communication preferences), and to send you our newsletter or marketing communications if you have opted in. If you submit your phone number, you agree that we may call or text you (possibly using an autodialer or pre-recorded message, if applicable) about Gold Path Solar services; message/data rates may apply, and you can opt-out at any time. We also use collected information to understand customer needs and website performance – for instance, analyzing site traffic via Google Analytics helps us improve site content and navigation. Rest assured, we do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may combine information from different sources (for example, if you call us, we might update information you provided through our website form) to ensure accuracy and completeness of your data.

Information Sharing and Disclosure: We value your privacy, and your information will only be shared with third parties in a few scenarios: (a) with your consent, (b) with trusted service providers who help us operate our business, or (c) as required by law. For instance, we use certain third-party service providers to support our operations and marketing. This can include our customer relationship management (CRM) system where we store lead information, email marketing platforms to send newsletters, cloud hosting providers for our website, and analytics tools like Google Analytics. These service providers process data on our behalf for the purposes outlined in this policy (for example, our CRM helps us manage your project and communications). We ensure any third-party partners are bound to protect your data and use it only for the services they provide to us. Additionally, if you apply for financing through our assistance (see the Financing section), with your permission we may share the necessary details with our third-party lending partners to facilitate that process. Gold Path Solar may also share personal information to comply with legal obligations or respond to valid legal processes (e.g., subpoenas, court orders), or to protect our rights and safety or the rights and safety of others. In the event of a business transfer (such as a merger or acquisition of Gold Path Solar by another company), user information might be among the assets transferred, but the same privacy commitments would apply to your data.

Newsletter and Communication Opt-Out: If you subscribe to our newsletter or agree to receive marketing emails, we will use your email address to send you periodic updates about solar news, promotions, or company news. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in any marketing email, or by contacting us directly with your request. We honor all opt-out requests – once you unsubscribe, we will remove you from the marketing list (though we may still send transactional or service-related communications, such as messages about an ongoing project or installation if you are our customer). Similarly, if at any point you wish to withdraw consent for us to contact you by phone or text, please let us know and we will cease further calls or messages beyond what is necessary for any services you’ve requested.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies: As noted, we use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and analyze usage. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Some cookies are essential for site functionality (for example, remembering your input on a multi-page form), while others are analytical or advertising-related. We use Google Analytics to gather aggregate data about site traffic (for instance, which pages are visited, how long users stay, and what site referred them). This helps us improve site content and marketing strategies. The information collected via Google Analytics may include your IP address and browsing behavior, which Google may store on servers in the United States. Google Analytics does not identify you personally to us; it provides aggregate reports. However, because it uses cookies to track your visits, privacy regulations (like the EU GDPR) consider this personal data. We want to inform you of this tracking and state that by using our site, you consent to the use of these cookies. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you can refuse cookies or use the Google opt-out plugin as mentioned above. We may also use cookies set by social media platforms or advertising networks (e.g. Google Ads or Facebook Pixel) to assist with remarketing campaigns – meaning you might see our ads on other sites after visiting our website. Any such usage will be outlined in this policy, and you can opt out through those platforms’ ad settings if you wish. For example, Google provides ad settings to control personalized ads and an Analytics opt-out as described earlier.

Data Security: Gold Path Solar takes reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. We implement industry-standard security practices, such as encryption (HTTPS) for data transmission on our website and secure, access-controlled databases for storing personal data. We also limit internal access to personal data to only those employees or contractors who need it to perform their duties. Despite our efforts, please note that no website or Internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that your information will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others (for example, a sophisticated cyber-attack). You share information at your own risk, but we will notify you in accordance with applicable laws if any security breach occurs that compromises your personal data. We also encourage you to take precautions when using the internet, such as using strong passwords and not sharing sensitive information via unencrypted channels.

Data Retention: We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected (for instance, to provide you with a quote or services, or as long as you remain subscribed to the newsletter) and as long as we have a lawful basis for keeping it. We may also retain information to comply with legal obligations or resolve disputes. If you become a customer, certain information may be kept for record-keeping requirements (e.g., contracts, invoices, warranty records) even after the completion of your solar installation. When we no longer need your personal data, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

Your Rights and Choices: You have certain rights regarding your personal information. If you want to know what personal data we have about you, or you need to update/correct that information, you can contact us and we will be happy to assist. You may also request that we delete your personal information. If you request deletion, we will erase your data from our active databases, except that we may retain any information required for legal compliance or legitimate business purposes (for example, we might keep a record of a transaction you made with us for accounting purposes). If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendments – including the right to know what categories of personal data we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt-out of “sale” of personal data (note: Gold Path Solar does not sell personal data). California customers may also request once a year a notice describing what personal information we share with third parties for their direct marketing purposes (we currently do not share data with third parties for their independent marketing use, so such list would be empty). To exercise any privacy rights or if you have questions/concerns about your data, please contact us using the contact information provided at the end of this policy. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Third-Party Websites: Our website may contain links to third-party websites, such as informational resources or partner sites. If you follow those links, understand that Gold Path Solar’s privacy policy no longer applies – you will be subject to the third party’s site terms and policies. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of other sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

Children’s Privacy: Our services and website are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 years of age. If you are under 13, please do not submit any personal information to us. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13, we will delete that information. Parents or guardians with concerns can contact us to request removal of any inadvertently collected information.

Policy Updates: We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. If we make material changes, we will post the updated policy on this page with a new effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed of how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of our website after any changes signifies your acceptance of the updated policy.
