Our Policy
Except as otherwise provided in this Policy, Energy Future Holdings does not collect
personally identifiable information from individuals unless they
provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. We only collect personal
information for specific purposes such as responding to requests for
information or to provide services. We will not sell or provide your
information to unaffiliated companies for commercial purposes
unrelated to the business of Energy Future Holdings. In some instances, we may use this
information to inform you of goods and services that may be of
interest to you. Except as provided herein, Energy Future Holdings will not disclose any
information about you to unaffiliated companies or organizations
without your consent, unless:
- required by law;
- we believe it necessary to respond to an inquiry or provide you with a service which you have requested;
- to implement our terms of service;
- to protect the rights, property or personal safety of another Energy Future Holdings user, any member of the public or Energy Future Holdings.
Energy Future Holdings and its affiliates recognize the trust you place in us when you give us personal information. In order to operate the Website or deliver a service we may sometimes share your personal information with a service partner under strict conditions. We will not otherwise disclose your personal information to other companies without your explicit consent.
