By using our Website, you consent to the collection and use of your information by Sawnee EMC. The information we collect about you may include, but is not limited to, contact information such as name, mailing address, email addresses and/or phone number, usernames, IDs, security question information, financial and banking information, Social Security Number, driver’s license or other state identification number, service address, energy consumption data, billing and payment history and service history. This information is used to identify you, to establish, manage, and service your account, to facilitate payment, to communicate with you, to alert you about updated information and services, to improve our service for you, and to respond to any questions or comments that we receive from you.
Additionally, by communicating and/or interacting with us in any way, you acknowledge that Sawnee EMC may use your information to contact you by email, telephone, chat, social media, SMS, MMS, two-way texting or other equivalent forms of electronic communication, such as a mobile application’s push notification regarding updates or informative communications related to services provided by Sawnee EMC. You authorize us and RingCentral (and any successor companies providing similar services to Sawnee EMC), on our behalf, to manually dial or use automated dialing technology to dial any telephone number(s) that you or anyone acting on your behalf provides to use at any time, and further acknowledge and agree that RingCentral (and any successor companies providing similar services to Sawnee EMC), on our behalf, may send individual or mass generated text messages such as SMS and/or MMS and/or two way texting to such number(s), and that message and data rates may apply.
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.
