By visiting the SunPower Web site, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy. SunPower encourages you to read this Privacy Policy carefully.

SunPower voluntarily collects information from visitors who express an interest in investing in a solar system. That data is shared with our dealers/installers who sell our solar panels so that they can contact these visitors. SunPower may periodically conduct surveys, usability studies, contests and other programs that help SunPower improve and promote its products and services. Visitors to our website may voluntarily participate in these programs and as a condition of such participation, they may be asked to provide additional demographic information. SunPower may collect such additional information that visitors voluntarily provides, including, without limitation, gender, age, income level, modem speed, or type of operating system used. Personally identifiable information collected by SunPower in conjunction with voluntary surveys, usability studies, contests and other voluntary programs will not be shared with any sponsor or third party without your consent.

The SunPower Web site server automatically records visitor information based on your activity on the SunPower Web site, such as visitor IP addresses and/or domain names.
