What do we use your information for?

Profile

Except for your email address, all profile information is optional. You have the choice about whether to share this profile information with others. For every profile field, you can select who sees it using three privacy icons: no one (private), your Wattbot friends (friends) or anyone who visits Wattbot.com (public).

Projects

Your personally identifiable information, and the data we gather about occupancy, site, structure, energy, financials and goals when you create a project will only be shared with the specific service providers that you give us permission to share it with. This data may also be statistically aggregated and stripped of personally identifiable information before being made available to other customers of Wattbot's data services.
