Idaho Power is committed to protecting the privacy of users at all times. That's why Idaho Power maintains strict privacy policies and uses technologies to safeguard customer information.
What kind of information does Idaho Power collect from site visitors?
When you visit an Idaho Power Web site, there are two kinds of information Idaho Power is likely to collect or track:
1. Non-personal statistical information, that is, anonymous information that does not by itself identify a specific individual but that provides data on subjects such as the number of visitors who come to the site, how visitors navigate through the site, which browsers visitors use, etc.
2. Personal information you knowingly and voluntarily supply in online forms, registration forms, surveys, etc. on the Web site. When you sign up for certain products or register on the Web site, getpluggedin.com will collect personal information to help identify you, authenticate you and provide you better service in the future. This information is called "personally identifiable information" and is used to associate usage information with a specific individual or entity. Examples of personally identifiable information include, but are not limited to, customer name, address, telephone number and e-mail address.
It is common business practice to collect such information in order to conduct business and provide customers with specific services. Idaho Power has collected this information from customers in the past to provide services through the mail or over the telephone. The emergence and popularity of the Internet provides Idaho Power with another method of communicating with customers and meeting customer needs.
Idaho Power does not sell or trade customer information
Idaho Power will not sell or trade personally identifiable information to any third party without your prior authorization. In fact, because Idaho Power Company is a regulated utility, the Idaho and Oregon public utility commissions prevent the Company from doing so. The Internet medium will not change this. We only collect your personally identifiable information in order to provide you with better Idaho Power services.
Receipt of customer e-mails
E-mail gives Idaho Power another convenient way to communicate with its customers. We hope to periodically tell you about new information, programs, products or services that will benefit you. Idaho Power will not, however, send you e-mails if you do not wish to receive them. If at any time you would like to remove yourself from any of the Company's electronic mailing lists, please ContactUs@getpluggedin.com
