Last Updated: November 20, 2025

Introduction

Solar Spek LLC ("Solar Spek," "Company," "We," "Us," or "Our") respects Your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") describes the types of information we may collect from You or that You may provide when You visit the website solarspek.com, use the Solar Spek Progressive Web Application ("PWA"), use the Solar Spek Desktop Application, or use the Solar Spek Mobile Applications for iOS and Android (collectively, the "Services"), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If You do not agree with our policies and practices, Your choice is not to use our Services. By accessing or using the Services, You agree to this Privacy Policy. This Policy may change from time to time (see Article 11). Your continued use of the Services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates.

To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Solar Spek's assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which Personal Information held by Solar Spek about our Service users is among the assets transferred.

6.3 Data Retention Policy

We will only retain Your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of Your personal data, the purposes for which we process Your personal data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
