The personal data transferred concern the following categories of data subjects (including legal entities, in the case of Switzerland data subjects):

  • Enphase customers who have ordered products from Enphase, have set up an Enphase App or my.enphase.com account, and/or who have an internet-connected Enphase Energy System.

Categories of personal data transferred.

The personal data transferred concern the following categories of data.

  • Enphase customer data. This data is related to Enphase Energy Systems, and includes the following:

  1. Customer identifiers: name, email, phone, address, and other contact information provided by the customer.
  2. System information: pseudonymized site ID, system hardware model numbers and serial numbers, energy production information, energy consumption information, IP address, internet connectivity status, and other information about the home’s electrical system and Enphase Energy System.
  3. Additional information related to a customer’s ownership and use of an Enphase Energy System.

Sensitive data transferred (if applicable) and applied restrictions or safeguards that fully take into consideration the nature of the data and the risks involved, such as for instance strict purpose limitation, access restrictions (including access only for staff having followed specialised training), keeping a record of access to the data, restrictions for onward transfers or additional security measures.

  • Not applicable.

The frequency of the transfer (e.g. whether the data is transferred on a one-off or continuous basis).

  • For both Enphase customer data and system data, it is transferred on a continuous basis as determined by the frequency of the API calls.

Nature of the processing.

  • Processing under and as described in the Agreement.

Purpose(s) of the data transfer and further processing.

  • Enphase customer data and system data is processed as necessary to provide the data importer with the data obtained via the API as further described in the Agreement.

The period for which the personal data will be retained, or, if that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period.

  • The period for which the Personal Data will be retained will be determined by the importing data importer in accordance with its data privacy and data retention policies.

For transfers to (sub-) processors, also specify subject matter, nature and duration of the processing.

  • Not applicable.

All of the above sub-processors (if any) process at the direction of Enphase according to a Data Processing Agreement compliant with GDPR expectations, for a duration restricted as defined by Enphase’s Record Retention/Destruction Policy.

ANNEX II - TECHNICAL AND ORGANISATIONAL MEASURES INCLUDING TECHNICAL AND ORGANISATIONAL MEASURES TO ENSURE THE SECURITY OF THE DATA

Technical and organizational safeguards include:

Technical safeguards:

  1. Data transferred is minimized and we collect and process only the minimum necessary to carry out the monitoring and warranty/service/firmware upgrade functions.
  2. Encryption is used where possible, including for data in transit and at rest.
  3. Data importer provides consumers notice at the time of collection and the right to opt-out, subject to certain legal requirements to keep data for warranty or contractual purposes, legal requirements, or otherwise.
  4. Data importer’s retention schedule is specific and appropriate to the nature of the data and reasonably limited to the time required for the purposes for which it collects and transfers the data.
  5. Ongoing Enphase Energy System data in transit is pseudonymized because only an Enphase-designed “site ID” is transmitted with energy and system information – the site ID is unique to a particular site but does not have any meaning to the broader world outside of Enphase.

Organizational safeguards:

  1. Privacy training.
  2. Privacy-by-design (designing product to minimize collection and retention, providing disclosure at collection and customer choice on an ongoing basis).
  3. Executive-staff oversight (through hierarchical reporting of key issues according to materiality).

Sub-processors also implement technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the data being shared, their location, and other factors. Data Processing Agreements with those sub-processors are available to authorities upon request.
