3. How We Share Your Information
We share your information only with the parties below, and only as necessary to deliver the program:
- Solrite-network installer partners: the trained installer assigned to your project receives your contact and property information so they can schedule a site visit and complete the install.
- Abundance Energy (or another approved retail electric provider): receives the information necessary to enroll you in your new electricity service.
- Service providers: we use third-party services to operate the program, including Loops (transactional and marketing email), Lob (direct mail), Google (Analytics), and Firebase (data storage and authentication). These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as we direct.
- Finance and credit partners: for the soft credit inquiry and for any payment processing during the agreement.
- Legal and compliance recipients: if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to enforce our rights.
- Successors: if Solrite is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or similar transaction, your information may transfer to the successor entity, subject to this Privacy Policy.
We do not sell your personal information.
4. Cookies, Pixels, and Analytics

5. Data Retention
We retain application information for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purposes described above. Specifically:
