1. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly.
When you fill out a form, request a demo, subscribe to our newsletter, create an account, or contact us, we may collect your name, business email address, phone number, company name, job title, and any project details you choose to share (such as facility type, size, power requirements, timeline, or target geography).
Information collected automatically.
We do not require you to provide personal information to browse the Site, and we do not operate our own tracking infrastructure. Instead, we use third-party analytics and visitor-identification services, which collect information when you visit — including IP address, browser type and version, device type and operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, time spent, and links clicked. We access this information through those providers' products.
Visitor identification.
One or more of these providers analyzes IP addresses to identify the company or organization a visitor is associated with, and in some cases matches visits to business contact records. As a result, we may learn that someone from your company visited the Site, and may receive business contact information about likely visitors, even if you never submitted a form. We use this for sales and marketing purposes. If you prefer not to be identified this way, contact us at the address in Section 11.
Information from third parties.
We may receive business contact information and firmographic data (company size, industry, funding, location) from public sources and commercial data providers to support our sales and marketing activities.
What we do not collect.
We do not knowingly collect Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, government identification numbers, biometric data, precise geolocation, or health information through the Site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

Legal bases (where GDPR or similar law applies)
Performance of a contract, our legitimate interests in operating and marketing our business, your consent (for marketing communications and non-essential cookies), and compliance with legal obligations.
3. Project Confidentiality
Site selection projects are frequently sensitive, and we treat them that way. When we distribute requests for information to economic development organizations, utilities, communities, or brokers on behalf of a client, we do so on an anonymized or code-named basis unless the client has authorized disclosure of its identity. We do not publicly identify clients or their projects without prior written consent.
4. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
5. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, measure traffic, and improve performance. These fall into three categories: strictly necessary cookies required for the Site to function; analytics cookies that help us understand usage; and marketing cookies used to measure campaign performance.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may limit Site functionality.

6. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, to maintain business records, and to comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations. Marketing contacts are retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
7. Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and vendor diligence. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Rights and Choices
Everyone.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in any message, or by contacting us. Transactional and service-related communications will continue as needed. You may also ask us to stop identifying you through the visitor-identification services described in Section 1.
U.S. state privacy rights.
Depending on your state of residence (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas, and others), you may have the right to: know what personal information we collect and how we use it; access or receive a copy of it; correct inaccuracies; request deletion; opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising; and not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. As noted above, we do not sell or share personal information for targeted advertising.

Where GDPR applies, you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing, the right to data portability, the right to withdraw consent at any time, and the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.
How to exercise your rights.
Contact us at the address in Section 11. We will verify your identity before responding, typically by confirming information already in our records, and will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (generally 45 days in the U.S. and one month under GDPR). You may use an authorized agent where permitted by law.
