Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 10, 2026 · Operated by Aten Solar Corp
At SolarProforma.ai, operated by Aten Solar Corp, we understand that commercial and industrial solar development relies on highly sensitive financial modeling and proprietary project inputs. We are committed to protecting your personal information and specific project identities. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, safeguard, and analyze data when you access or use our online financial modeling platform and website (collectively, the “Service”).
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you voluntarily provide to us, as well as data gathered automatically during your platform session:
- Account & Contact Information: Name, corporate email address, company name, phone number, and account credentials provided during registration.
- Project & Financial Inputs: Parameters entered to build financial proformas, including system capacity, equipment specifications (e.g., module and inverter types), CapEx/OpEx metrics, utility tariffs, cost-per-watt estimates, and return metrics (e.g., IRR).
- Billing Information: Payment credentials and transaction details. All financial transactions are processed directly via secure third-party gateway providers (e.g., Stripe) and are never stored or processed on our servers.
- Usage Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and platform interaction logs collected automatically to maintain system health and security.
2. How We Use Your Information
We process your personal and project-level information solely for platform functionality, system maintenance, and industry benchmarking:
- Platform Operations: Generating commercial solar financial models, tax waterfall structures, and Safe Harbor projections.
- Account Administration: Account setup, payment processing, customer support, and essential administrative updates.
- Platform Enhancement: Analyzing platform usage, UI responsiveness, and algorithmic precision.
- Market Analytics & Industry Benchmarking: Aggregating non-identifiable technical and cost metrics to compile regional market insights and solar industry trends.
3. Data Protection, Security & Confidentiality
We employ enterprise-grade technical and organizational safeguards to ensure your sensitive financial data remains confidential:
- Encryption: Data in transit and at rest is protected using industry-standard protocols (e.g., SSL/TLS encryption and AES-256 for resting data).
- Access Control: Personal and project data is stored behind secured networks and restricted exclusively to authorized personnel bound by strict confidentiality obligations.
- Vulnerability Scanning: We conduct regular security and malware scans to proactively identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
4. Market Trend Data Commercialization vs. Client Protection
We do NOT sell, rent, trade, or share specific client data, personal information, client lists, or identified corporate financial models with external parties.
- Aggregated Market & Trend Data: SolarProforma.ai compiles, analyzes, and aggregates high-level technical and economic data across the platform—such as regional system sizing, module adoption trends, cost-per-watt benchmarks, and average project IRRs. All identifying details (including company names, individual names, specific property addresses, and unique project identifiers) are stripped prior to processing. You grant SolarProforma.ai a license to compile and monetize this fully anonymized, aggregated trend data for sale or licensing to third parties, including solar equipment manufacturers, distributors, financial institutions, and industry researchers.
- Trusted Service Providers: We may share personal data with trusted third-party vendors (e.g., cloud hosting infrastructure, payment processors, utility rate APIs) solely to operate the platform. These partners are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
- Legal Compliance & Business Transfers: We may disclose information if required by law or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of company assets.
5. Cookies & Analytics
- Tracking Policy: We do not use persistent tracking cookies for targeted behavioral advertising across third-party websites.
- Performance Cookies: Standard first-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) compile aggregate traffic metrics to optimize site performance.
- Browser Settings: You can manage or disable cookies via your browser settings. Disabling necessary functional cookies may impact certain dynamic modeling features.
6. Regulatory Compliance & Data Rights
- California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA): We display a clear Privacy Policy link on our homepage. We respect browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals and refrain from targeted behavioral tracking when DNT is enabled.
- Children’s Privacy (COPPA): SolarProforma.ai is strictly intended for commercial business use and does not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
- Data Retention & Breach Protocol: We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill service obligations or satisfy legal requirements. In the event of a confirmed data breach affecting personal information, we commit to notifying impacted users via email within seven (7) business days of verification.
- Your Rights: You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account and individual project records by contacting us directly.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our platform evolves. Material updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Continued use of SolarProforma.ai following posted updates constitutes acceptance of the modified policy.
