(a) An authorized representative of the Eligible Commercial Financing Customer will be required to affirm that it has read and acknowledges all of the following subsections (b)--(g) in a format specified by the Authority:

(b) As a result of your participation in an energy efficiency financing program, as approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and administered by the California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority (CAEATFA), CAEATFA may come into possession of some or all of the following information:

(c) The information may be provided to CAEATFA by the CPUC or your utility(ies) or your finance company or a contractor or project developer acting on their behalf. The information may be combined with energy usage information provided by your utility(ies) to the CPUC, who may then provide that information to CAEATFA.

(d) The information provided to CAEATFA may be released to the Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs), other state agencies, and the federal government pursuant to contracts, interagency agreements, or if required by law. The information provided to CAEATFA will be released in an anonymized form, aggregated with information from other financing recipients throughout the state to make both financing and energy efficiency project performance available to the public. The information released to the public will be anonymized and aggregated to reduce (but may not eliminate) the risk of anyone viewing the data making an association between specific information and the provider of that information. Information that cannot be anonymized and aggregated will not be released to the public.

(e) In addition to the anonymized and aggregated release of information contemplated above, CAEATFA may contact financing customers or may release individual financing customer names, addresses, and phone numbers that will enable the IOUs or the CPUC or individuals acting on their behalf to contact financing customers. The purpose of the release and contact will be limited to inviting financing customers to participate in surveys or to arrange visits to financing customers' business to evaluate various aspects of the program.

(f) The officials responsible for maintaining the information provided regarding your financing agreement are program personnel at CAEATFA or its contractors. You have the right of access to records established from the information provided to CAEATFA as it pertains to you. This Privacy Rights Disclosure will remain effective through the end of the repayment term of your financing agreement.

(g) By your affirmation to this Privacy Rights Disclosure, you represent and warrant that you are a duly authorized representative of the financing customer and that you have the authority to agree to the terms of this Privacy Rights Disclosure on behalf of the financing customer.
