SolarSAAS Privacy Policy
1. About SolarSAAS
SolarSAAS provides a cloud-based CRM and ERP software solution for the solar industry. Our platform helps solar companies manage leads, customers, quotations, projects, procurement, installation, invoicing, maintenance, reporting, automation, and related business operations.
For the purpose of this Privacy Policy:
“SolarSAAS,” “we,” “us,” or “our” means SolarSAAS and its authorized representatives.
“Customer,” “you,” or “your” means the company, business, organization, user, or person using SolarSAAS.
“Platform” means the SolarSAAS website, software, SaaS application, CRM/ERP modules, services, tools, integrations, and related offerings.
“Customer Data” means all business data, personal data, customer records, lead records, project data, documents, files, and information uploaded, entered, processed, or stored by the customer in SolarSAAS.
2. Our Role
Depending on the situation, SolarSAAS may act as:
- Data Controller when we collect and use data for our own business purposes, such as website inquiries, demo requests, billing, marketing, account management, and customer communication.
- Data Processor when we process Customer Data inside the platform on behalf of our customers.
Under privacy frameworks such as GDPR, a controller generally decides why and how personal data is used, while a processor handles personal data on behalf of the controller.
Where you upload data of your customers, employees, vendors, leads, or users into SolarSAAS, you remain responsible for ensuring that you have the required legal basis, consent, notice, and authority to process that data.
