Privacy Policy

Introduction

We are committed to safeguarding your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect and use your information in compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). By accessing our website or using our services, you consent to the practices described in this policy. Quotes For Solar operates under an Australian Business Number (ABN) and is a registered business name.

Our Rules

Our commitment to privacy is reinforced by the following principles:

  • Rule 1: When you request a quote, your information will be shared with one solar company serving your area. In some cases, we may share your details with up to three solar power companies if required to ensure you receive suitable quotes. Installers can only use this information to provide you with a solar quote.
  • Rule 2: We abhor spam. Your information will only be shared with the selected solar installers and, if applicable, the finance partners you choose. We will not disclose your information to others without explicit consent or unless legally required.
  • Rule 3: We may send you emails and occasional SMS to guide you through the solar buying process, seek feedback, provide updates on the solar industry, and share occasional offers. Every email will include a prominent unsubscribe link.

Collection of Personal Information

We collect personal information directly from you and, if obtained from a third party, will notify you accordingly. The information collected may include your name, address, phone number, email address, and any other identifying details you choose to provide.

Additional Information

We may collect additional information when you provide feedback, interact with us, or share information about your personal or business affairs. You have the right not to identify yourself where lawful and practicable.
