WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT AND FROM WHOM

If you provide your information via the Superpower Energy website we collect your Full Name, Contact Phone numbers, e-mail and physical address.

We collect generic meter information and network information from the electricity register for the purposes of scoping services at the address provided. This information is publicly available. This information, along with your street address (which is collected directly from you), is required for the purposes of identifying the feasibility of providing services at the address provided by you.

If we are collecting information on behalf of a third party for the purposes of fulfilling agreed upon services it will be limited to information required to complete said services. This is required to enable the third party to complete their obligation of delivering goods to the address you have provided us along with necessary contact information. Once we supply that information to the third party, the third party will store, use, disclose, and process that information in accordance with their own privacy policy.
