Privacy policy

Who we are and what this policy covers

SunWise Lease is a free matching service. We help US homeowners learn about solar options like leases, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and solar loans, and we connect homeowners with vetted local solar providers.

We are not a solar installer, lessor, lender, or financial advisor. This privacy policy covers information you share with us on our website, through forms, and when you contact us. It also explains how we use that information to provide our service.

By using our site, you agree to the practices described here. If you have questions, you can reach us through our contact page.

Information we collect

We collect the information you choose to provide when you ask to be matched with solar providers or contact us. This may include your name, home address, email address, phone number, and basic details about your home that help providers understand whether solar may be a fit.

We may also collect website usage information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and approximate location based on your internet connection. This helps us improve the website, understand how people use it, and keep the site working properly.

We do not ask for Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, or credit-card numbers. Please do not send that kind of information to us through our forms or email.

How we use your information

We use your information to run our free matching service. That includes reviewing your request, contacting you if needed, and sharing your home and contact details with solar providers so they can reach out about quotes, eligibility, and next steps.

We may also use your information to answer questions, improve our website, prevent fraud or misuse, and comply with legal obligations. In some cases, we may send service-related messages, such as a follow-up about your request.

We do not promise that any provider will offer you solar, that you will qualify for any financing, or that solar will save you money. Solar results vary by home, roof, utility, contract terms, system size, and state.

When we share information

When you request a match, we share the information needed to connect you with solar providers that serve your area. This usually includes your name, address, phone number, email, and basic home details. We share this so providers can contact you about solar options and offers.

We may also share information with companies that help us operate the website or support our business, such as hosting, analytics, communications, or security providers. These companies are expected to use information only as needed to provide services to us.

We may disclose information if required by law, to respond to legal requests, to protect our rights or users, or as part of a business transfer such as a merger or sale.

We do not sell your Social Security number, bank account details, or credit-card numbers because we do not collect them.

Your choices, cookies, and communications

If you do not want us to share your information with solar providers, please do not submit a match request form. If you have already submitted information and want to update or request deletion of it, contact us through our contact page.

If a provider contacts you, you can ask that provider directly about its privacy practices and how to stop future calls, texts, or emails. Providers you speak with may have their own privacy policies and consent terms.

Our website may use cookies and similar tools to remember settings, measure traffic, and improve performance. Your browser may let you block or delete cookies, but some parts of the site may not work as expected if you do.

If you receive communications from us, you can usually follow the unsubscribe instructions in the message, or contact us for help.

Data security, retention, and outside links

We use reasonable steps to protect the information we hold. No website or online system is completely risk-free, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use care when sharing information online.

We keep information for as long as reasonably needed to provide our services, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal requirements. How long that is can vary depending on the type of request and applicable law.

Our site may link to other pages or resources, including our terms and disclaimer. If you visit a third-party website, that site's own privacy policy will apply.

Because our service is for homeowners in the United States, this site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
