Privacy policy.
How Public Energy collects, uses, and safeguards information from this website and direct correspondence.

Public Energy Inc. (PEGI) is an Ontario-based independent power producer. We design, finance, build, and operate distributed generation facilities serving industrial customers and the IESO wholesale market. We are licensed by the Ontario Energy Board under Electricity Retailer Licence ER-2019-0215 and Generation Licence EG-2019-0216.

Our registered office is 155 Queens Quay East, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. For privacy inquiries, contact us at the address listed in section 13.

This policy covers personal information collected through publicenergyinc.com (the "site") and direct correspondence sent to email addresses listed on the site. Commercial and counterparty relationships governed by separate agreements carry their own confidentiality and data-handling provisions, which are not superseded by this policy.

We collect personal information in three categories.

• Technical information automatically collected. When you visit the site, our hosting infrastructure logs your IP address, browser type and version, device type, requested paths, referring URL, and timestamps. This is standard server log data used to operate the site and protect it from abuse.
• Aggregate analytics. We may use privacy- respecting analytics to understand aggregate site usage. This site does not set third-party advertising cookies and does not participate in cross-site behavioural tracking.
• Voluntary correspondence. Any information you send us by email through the contact paths on this site (industrial customers, development partners, media), including your name, email address, organization, and the content of your communication.

• Operating, securing, and maintaining the website, including detection and prevention of abuse.
• Understanding aggregate site usage in order to improve content and structure.
• Responding to inquiries and conducting ordinary business correspondence.
• Complying with regulatory obligations imposed on us by the Ontario Energy Board, the IESO, and other applicable authorities.

Public Energy collects, uses, and discloses personal information in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws, including Quebec's Law 25 where it applies.

We rely on implied consent for the technical information necessary to operate the site, and on express or inferred consent when you send us correspondence. Consent may be withdrawn at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions, by contacting us as described in section 13.

Personal information may be processed by service providers engaged by Public Energy. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information.

• Hosting. The site is hosted on infrastructure operated by Vercel Inc., located in the United States. Server logs and any analytics data are processed there.
• Email delivery. Correspondence sent to addresses on the site is delivered through our email service provider, which processes incoming and outgoing messages on our behalf.
• Live data display. The dashboard on this site displays publicly available IESO data through Public Energy's internal data pipeline. This pipeline does not transmit visitor personal information.

Some processing occurs on infrastructure located in the United States. Where personal information is transferred outside Canada, it remains subject to the privacy obligations applicable to its custodians, and may also be subject to lawful access requests by foreign authorities under their jurisdiction.

• Server log data is retained for short periods, typically 30 to 90 days, then aggregated or deleted.
• Email correspondence is retained for as long as commercial relevance requires, generally not longer than seven years, unless a longer retention period is required to comply with regulatory or legal obligations.
• Analytics data is retained in aggregate, non-identifying form.

Under PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy law, you have the following rights with respect to personal information that Public Energy holds about you.

• Access. Request a copy of your personal information that we hold.
• Correction. Request that inaccurate or incomplete information be corrected.
• Withdrawal of consent. Withdraw consent to ongoing collection, use, or disclosure, subject to legal or contractual restrictions.
• Complaint. File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca, or with the relevant provincial commissioner.
• For Quebec residents, additional rights under Law 25, including data portability and the right to object to automated decision-making, where applicable.

To exercise these rights, contact us at the address in section 13. We will respond within 30 days, or sooner where required by law.

This site does not set tracking, advertising, or behavioural cookies. A small number of strictly necessary cookies may be set by our hosting provider for basic site functionality and security. If we add features in future that require additional cookies, we will update this policy and surface notice as appropriate.

This site is directed at an industrial, regulatory, and professional audience. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the applicable age of majority for online consent.

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our operations, technology, or legal obligations. Updated versions take effect when posted on this page. Material changes will be highlighted for a reasonable period.
