Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 13, 2026

GoSolarBusiness.com ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website located at gosolarbusiness.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices and rights you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly, and information collected automatically.

Information You Provide

When you submit our free solar quote form or contact form, we collect:

  • Contact information: your full name, email address, and phone number
  • Business information: business name, business type, state, and average monthly electricity bill range
  • Preferences: your preferred contact time and how you heard about us
  • Messages: the content of any message you send through our contact form

Information Collected Automatically

  • Technical data: IP address, browser type and version (user agent), and the date and time of your submission. We collect this for security, spam prevention, and rate limiting.
  • Cookies: see the Cookies section below.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Match you with solar installers. This is the core purpose of our service — when you request a quote, we share your request details with licensed solar installation companies serving your area so they can contact you with quotes.
  • Send email follow-ups confirming your request, providing relevant solar information, and updating you on the status of your quote request.
  • Respond to your inquiries submitted through our contact form.
  • Protect the Site through spam detection, rate limiting, and security monitoring.
  • Improve our content and service using aggregated, non-identifying usage information.

3. How We Share Your Information (Third Parties)

We share your information only as follows:

  • Solar installers: When you request a quote, we share your submission with one or more licensed solar installation companies and/or solar quote networks ("affiliate platforms") so they can contact you. This sharing is the explicit purpose of the form, and we earn referral fees from these companies.
  • Service providers: We use third-party providers for web hosting and email delivery. They process data only on our behalf and under confidentiality obligations.
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

We do not sell your personal information to data brokers, and we do not share it with unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes. Sharing your quote request with solar installers as described above may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under certain state privacy laws — see your rights below.

4. Cookies Policy

We use a small number of cookies that are strictly necessary for the Site to function:

  • Session cookie (PHPSESSID): maintains your session for form security (CSRF protection) and one-time messages. It expires when you close your browser.

If we add analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) in the future, we will update this policy and those cookies will be disclosed here. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; disabling the session cookie may prevent our forms from working.

5. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, gives you the right to:

  • Know what personal information we have collected about you and how it is used and shared;
  • Delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions;
  • Correct inaccurate personal information;
  • Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information. Because sharing quote requests with installers may qualify, you may opt out at any time by emailing us at info@gosolarbusiness.com with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information";
  • Non-discrimination: we will never discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@gosolarbusiness.com. We will verify your identity and respond within the timeframe required by law (generally 45 days).

6. Note for Visitors from the European Union (GDPR)

Our service is directed at businesses located in the United States. We do not intentionally collect personal data from individuals in the European Economic Area. If you are in the EEA and believe we hold your personal data, you may have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, and portability. Contact us at info@gosolarbusiness.com and we will honor applicable requests.

7. Data Retention and Security

We retain quote and contact submissions for as long as needed to provide our service and meet legal obligations, after which they are deleted. We protect your data with industry-standard measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), parameterized database queries, access controls, and security monitoring. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information using commercially reasonable safeguards.

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for business owners and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Material changes will be highlighted on the Site.
