Data Profiling

We will also match your profile to third companies that will have goods or services that will be of interest to you. It makes sense for us to ensure that you only receive offers that are relevant to you and fit within the context of your lifestyle and available purchasing power. For example, if you have provided your solar panel lease data and have consented for third parties to contact you about all the options regarding leasing solar panels, we will work with third-party brand partners to send you a solar panel lease quote tailored to your needs – thus saving you time researching the entire market. The data that we provide our third parties may be added to the information that they already hold about you. So a solar panel lease company will check whether you have been a customer of theirs before. This is to ensure that they provide the right types of products, services, and pricing to you.
