• deliver paid and Complimentary Reports;

• protect the rights, property, safety, and security of ENERGYDM, its Users, Service Providers, Business Partners, and other persons.

Depending on the circumstances, our authority to Process Personal Information may arise from Your request or agreement, the performance or administration of a transaction or contract, Your Consent, ENERGYDM’s legitimate business operations, compliance with applicable law, protection of legal rights, or another basis permitted by applicable United States law.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy creates a contractual or statutory right beyond those rights provided by applicable law.

10. Location Of Processing

ENERGYDM is established and operates in Michigan, United States. Personal Information collected through the Service is primarily controlled and administered from the United States and may be stored or Processed in the United States or in other locations where our Service Providers maintain personnel, systems, or infrastructure.

By using the Service and submitting Personal Information, You acknowledge that Your information may be transmitted to, stored in, and Processed in the United States. Privacy and data-security laws may differ among states and jurisdictions.

We require Service Providers handling Personal Information on our behalf to use the information only for authorized services and to maintain protections appropriate to the nature of the information, subject to our agreements with them and applicable law.

ENERGYDM does not represent that the Service is governed exclusively by the privacy laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Michigan and applicable federal laws of the United States.

11. 11. Data Retention And Disposal

We retain Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized, including to:

• provide Reports, products, memberships, and services;

• maintain Accounts and business relationships;

• administer Marketing Communications;

• comply with legal, tax, accounting, contractual, and recordkeeping obligations;

• resolve disputes and respond to complaints;

• detect and prevent fraud, misuse, and security incidents;

• enforce our Terms, licenses, agreements, and intellectual-property rights; and

• establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

The applicable retention period depends on the nature and sensitivity of the information, the purposes for which it is Processed, the duration of our relationship with You, legal or contractual requirements, operational needs, and the risks associated with continued retention.

We may retain records showing when and how You accepted our Terms, acknowledged this Privacy Policy, agreed to receive Marketing Communications, or withdrew from Marketing Communications. These records may include Your email address, the date and time, the registration source, the Report requested, the applicable consent or agreement language, the version of the Terms and Privacy Policy presented, and Your current marketing status.

If You unsubscribe from Marketing Communications, we may retain Your email address and limited related information on a suppression list for as long as reasonably necessary to honor the request, demonstrate compliance, and prevent accidental re-enrollment. A request to delete other Personal Information does not necessarily require deletion of information needed for a lawful suppression list.

Personal Information may remain temporarily in routine backups, archives, security logs, fraud-prevention records, and disaster-recovery systems until deleted or overwritten through ordinary retention cycles. We may retain information for a longer period when required or permitted by applicable law, reasonably necessary for an actual or anticipated legal claim, or required to protect ENERGYDM or another person. When Personal Information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, destroy, anonymize, or aggregate it in accordance with our business procedures and applicable law. Information that has been aggregated or deidentified so that it can no longer reasonably identify or be linked to an individual may be retained and used for lawful business purposes.

12. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, physical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect Personal Information against unauthorized access, acquisition, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction. The safeguards used may vary depending on the nature and sensitivity of the information, how it is Processed, available technology, operational needs, and applicable legal requirements.

Our safeguards may include access restrictions, authentication controls, security monitoring, vendor management, software maintenance, backups, and other measures we consider appropriate for our operations. We may review and adjust these safeguards as our systems, business, and security risks evolve.

No website, network, electronic transmission, information system, or storage method is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot and do not guarantee that Personal Information will always remain secure or that a security incident will never occur.

You are responsible for protecting Your Account credentials, access links, Devices, and email accounts. You should use appropriate passwords and security practices and notify ENERGYDM promptly if You suspect unauthorized access to Your Account, Reports, or Personal Information.

If we identify a security incident affecting Personal Information, we may investigate and take measures we consider appropriate under the circumstances. We will provide notices to affected individuals, government authorities, or other parties when required by applicable United States federal or state law, including applicable Michigan law.

Nothing in this section constitutes a warranty, guarantee, or representation that our safeguards will prevent every security incident.

13. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

You may have certain rights regarding Your Personal Information under applicable United States federal or state law. These rights vary depending on Your state of residence, the nature of the Personal Information, how it is Processed, and whether the applicable law applies to ENERGYDM.

Subject to applicable law, eligible individuals may have the right to request:

• confirmation of whether we Process their Personal Information;

• access to certain Personal Information maintained about them;

• correction of inaccurate Personal Information;

• deletion of certain Personal Information;

• a portable copy of certain Personal Information;

• information concerning certain categories of Personal Information collected, used, or disclosed;

• withdrawal of Consent where Processing depends on Consent;

• an opt-out from Marketing Communications; or

• an appeal of a decision concerning a privacy request where applicable law provides that right.

These rights are not absolute. We may deny, limit, or decline a request where permitted by applicable law, including when we cannot reasonably verify the requester’s identity, when an exception applies, when retention is required or permitted by law, or when the information is needed for security, fraud prevention, recordkeeping, legal compliance, contractual administration, suppression-list maintenance, intellectual-property protection, or the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

To submit a privacy request, contact us through https://energydmgroup.com/contact/ or at Support@ENERGYDMGroup.com. Your request should provide sufficient information for us to understand the request and reasonably verify Your identity and relationship with ENERGYDM.

We may request additional information to verify identity, authority, residency, or eligibility. If we cannot reasonably verify a request, we may be unable to fulfill it. Where permitted by law, we may refuse requests that are fraudulent, abusive, excessive, repetitive, technically infeasible, or manifestly unfounded. We may charge a reasonable fee where expressly permitted by applicable law.

An authorized agent may submit a request on Your behalf where permitted by applicable law. We may require evidence of the agent’s authority and may also require You to verify Your identity directly with us.

You may unsubscribe from Marketing Communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in an email or by contacting us. Unsubscribing will not prevent ENERGYDM from sending non-marketing communications relating to a Report, purchase, subscription, Account, support request, security matter, legal notice, or other existing transaction or relationship. We will not unlawfully discriminate against an individual for exercising a privacy right granted by applicable law. This Privacy Policy does not grant rights that are not otherwise provided by applicable law.

14. Children’s Privacy

Our services are directed to business professionals and are not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that such information was collected, we will take appropriate steps to delete it. Higher age or consent requirements may apply in some jurisdictions.

15. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our services may link to websites or services we do not control. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we are not responsible for those practices.

16. Changes to This Policy
