Privacy Policy

We here at ClearlyEnergy, Inc. (“ClearlyEnergy”) understand that your privacy is important and we are strongly committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. We have created this Privacy Policy to explain what information we collect and how we use such information.

If you provide your zip code, we will temporarily use this information to obtain information on local utility rates and savings incentives. We use Google Analytics to analyze the usage patterns of visitors to the ClearlyEnergy web site, please refer to for Google Analytics’ privacy policy for details. If you provide information on the site, we may automatically collect your Internet Protocol (IP) address and other information such as operating system, browser type, type of device used to access the site, and address of the referring website. We use this information to monitor and analyze usage and trends, and to increase the functionality and user friendliness of our site. ClearlyEnergy may collect and store your personally identifiable information (“PII”) when you visit our site as more specifically described in this Privacy Policy.

Registration on ClearlyEnergy is strictly voluntary. However, certain services we provide require you to authorize us to collect PII, including your name, email address, phone number and in some cases utility account information. Our software uses your PII to personalize and manage the ClearlyEnergy website for you.

By providing us with your PII, you understand and agree that we may release your PII (i) when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety; or (ii) in connection with a merger or acquisition where the acquiring party wishes to acquire the information we have stored about you.

We are committed to storing your PII in a secure manner and will take reasonable precautions to safeguard your PII from unauthorized access. Your PII is kept in a secure database which is accessible only by limited and appropriate personnel. Despite our precautions, no transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and you provide us with any PII at your own risk.

Home Energy Profile

ClearlyEnergy collects and stores your home energy information in a secure, password-enabled account. Generating a profile requires your home’s address or parcel ID, year built, and size. All additional fields in a Home Energy Profile are voluntary, but additional parameters create a more accurate estimate. ClearlyEnergy software uses your inputs to customize an Energy Profile label.

Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP) owns and manages the Home Energy Information Labeling eXchange (HELIX), a central repository for home energy labels where Home Energy Profiles, including the Vermont Home Energy Profile, are stored. Only final labels are stored in HELIX; all information entered on the web platform remains in your ClearlyEnergy account. The label is only shared with real estate multiple listing services if you leave the final authorization box unchecked or if required by law.

By providing this information, you are authorizing ClearlyEnergy and NEEP to collect and store that information, and are telling us that this information is true, accurate and current and that you have the authorization to provide us with that information. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to outside parties. By providing us with your information, you understand and agree that we may release your data (i) when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety; or (ii) in connection with a merger or acquisition where the acquiring party wishes to acquire the information we have stored about you and they agree to maintain the privacy of your data.
