Privacy Smart Seals
A Privacy Seal is a graphic on a website that offers an added level of assurance for those interested in authorizing trusted sources to use their energy data. Third parties that display Privacy Smart Seals have had their privacy practices reviewed by an independent privacy expert. The third parties that have received this certification will have a badge (Privacy Seal) located under the third-party application description in My Account.
Letter of Authorization (LOA)
A Letter of Authorization (or LOA) provides you, the customer, a mechanism to authorize us to disclose data with specified third parties. It may also authorize a third party to act on your behalf. Authorizations usually involve billing calculations, EPA benchmarking, correspondence in connection with accounts, investigation of utility bills, rate analysis and changes, etc.
