Privacy
Policy
This Privacy Policy explains the privacy practices of Lumos Global B.V. (“Lumos”) and its subsidiaries and affiliates around the world.
Lumos respects your right to privacy and your ability to make informed choices about the uses of your information. This Privacy Policy describes Lumos’s policy regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of Personal Information. The terms of this Privacy Policy apply to information collected from you unless different terms are specified as part of a special offer or in another form or contract we provide you.
Collection and Use of Personal Information. Personal Information is information that can be directly associated with an identifiable natural person such as a customer’s name, address, telephone number, email address, or credit card number.
You may be asked to provide your Personal Information anytime you are in contact with Lumos or a Lumos affiliated company. Lumos and its affiliates may share this Personal Information with each other and use it consistent with this Privacy Policy. They may also combine it with other information to provide and improve our products, services, content, and advertising. You are not required to provide the Personal Information that we have requested, but, if you chose not to do so, in many cases we will not be able to provide you with our products or services or respond to any queries you may have.
Lumos collect Personal Information that you provide it, such as when you:
- Register to use the Lumos website (the “Site”) or to receive Lumos newsletter
- Provide your information when purchasing Lumos’s product and service
- Provide your information online when asking to join Lumos
- Contact our customer support whether by phone, email, or chat
We may automatically collect some information when you visit our Site such as the site from which you linked to us, and the time and date of your visit and activities. We also collect information received from third parties to the extent that they have represented that they have entered into an agreement with you for the provision of Lumos services. Lumos does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 16, and you must be 18 years of age or older in order to establish an account or contact Lumos on the Site.
Use of Personal Information. Lumos may process your Personal Information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy with your consent, for compliance with a legal obligation to which Lumos is subject or when we have assessed it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Lumos or a third party to whom it may be necessary to disclose information.
Lumos also use Personal Information to help it create, develop, operate, deliver, and improve our products, services and advertising, and for loss prevention and anti-fraud purposes. Lumos may also use your Personal Information for account and network security purposes, including in order to protect our services for the benefit of all our users.
From time to time, Lumos may use your Personal Information to send important notices, such as communications about purchases, plans and changes to Lumos terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to your interaction with Lumos, you may not opt out of receiving these communications.
Lumos may also use Personal Information for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve Lumos’s products, services, and customer communications.
If you enter into a lottery, contest or similar promotion we may use the information you provide to administer those programs.
Sharing of Personal Information. Lumos does not sell or rent Personal Information to third parties without your prior consent. Lumos does not share or disclose Personal Information to third parties without your prior consent, except in the limited circumstances described below under the heading “Disclosures”.
Other sources of your personal information. Lumos may receive your personal information from other third party if that third party has shared your personal information with Lumos in order to enable Lumos to provide you with Lumos’s services.
Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information. We also collect data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. Lumos may collect information such as occupation, language, zip code, area code, unique device identifier, referrer URL, location, and the time zone so that we can better understand customer behavior and improve our products, services, and advertising. Lumos may collect information regarding customer activities on its website and data it collects from the Solar Power Systems and solar panels. In other words, information about how you use Lumos’s services may be collected and combined with information about how others use the same services, but no Personal Information will be included in the resulting data. This information is aggregated and used to help Lumos provide more useful information to its customers and to understand which parts of its website, products, and services are of most interest. Aggregated data is considered non‑personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
Lumos does use and disclose de-identified aggregate information, for the purposes of evaluating and improving its services and tailoring its products and for commercial purposes. Lumos may choose at its sole discretion to transfer, sell, provide, or share such information with third parties, including to Lumos’s business partners for commercial purposes.
If Lumos do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as Personal Information for as long as it remains combined.
Protection of Personal Information. Lumos has put into place security measures in an effort to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, or alteration while it is under our control. Personal Information Lumos collect is stored electronically. Lumos uses technical, contractual, administrative, and physical measures in an effort to protect against unauthorized access.
While Lumos uses reasonable measures to protect information that is stored within its database and restricts access to information to those employees who need access to perform their job functions, such as customer service personnel and technical staff, Lumos cannot guarantee the security of account information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of account information at any time. Lumos cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit to us, and so we urge you to take every precaution to protect your Personal Information when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure browser.
