Your privacy is important to us. Capital Electric Cooperative, Inc. (CEC) respects and protects the privacy of our customers. CEC strives to maintain high standards for the protection of privacy over the internet. We carefully ensure the confidentiality of each customer's account information. We recognize that, as the provider of electrical utility services, we must also ensure the privacy of each customer's electrical usage information.
CEC recognizes that the growth of online services, including Internet services, has created additional privacy concerns, particularly for consumers.
Online privacy concerns focus primarily on the protection of "customer identifiable" information which an individual or other customer reasonably expects to be kept private. As the term suggests, "customer identifiable" information is information that when associated with an individual identifies that individual. For example, a customer's name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
The purpose of this statement is to explain to our visitors the type of information CEC obtains about visitors to our website, how we gather it, how we use it, how long we retain it, and how visitors can restrict the use or disclosure of personally identifiable information.
