CCPA Privacy Notice
THE CCPA AND YOUR PERSONAL DATA RIGHTS
The California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA) grants California residents increased control over their personal information.
This CCPA privacy notice is for such California residents and supplements the Website Privacy Policy provided by Energy Capital Partners Management, LP and its affiliates (collectively, “ECP,” “we,” or “us”). It provides the details you need regarding rights that you have under the CCPA, and how to exercise those rights. It also provides you with the contact information you need to take action regarding the privacy of your information.
Defining Personal Information
Various laws and regulations (including the CCPA) use different terms and definitions for information about individuals that is personal and should be protected. Some laws and regulations consider only very limited types of information to be protected and private. Others include much broader categories. The CCPA sets out obligations and rights in relation to “personal information”, meaning information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household.
Types of Collected Personal Information
ECP collects some personal information about you. This section describes the categories of personal information that are collected, as well as the categories of sources for obtaining that personal information, and the purpose for collecting it.
Personal Information Categories-
The personal information we collect from you and have collected from you over the past 12 months consists of the following categories:
- Identifiers: Full name, home and/or business address, telephone number, and other contact information

We decide how long we need information on a case-by-case basis.
Your Rights
The CCPA provides you with certain rights in regard to what we do with your personal information. This section details those rights, how to exercise them, and what ECP will do in response.
