Security & Privacy

Protecting customer-authorized energy data

The principles below describe how PDS Energy systems are designed to receive, protect and use the utility information customers choose to authorize.

Customer authorization

Utility data is obtained only when a customer authorizes it through a supported utility authorization flow, and the customer may revoke that authorization through the utility.

Separation of utility authentication from PDS

When using supported utility authorization flows, utility credentials are entered with the utility — not with PDS. PDS does not ask for or store utility usernames or passwords.

Data minimization

PDS is designed to request and retain only the data needed to support the electricity analysis a customer has asked for.

Secure connections

The website and PDS data exchanges are designed to use encrypted HTTPS connections.

Restricted access

Access to customer energy data is designed to be limited to personnel and systems that require it to deliver PDS Energy services.

Protection of sensitive credentials

Production integration credentials and configuration are designed to remain in PDS-controlled infrastructure and are not placed in website code.

Responsible data handling

Customer energy data is used to support the electricity analysis that customer has requested. PDS does not sell customer utility data.

Precision Data Systems, Inc. is not an electric utility and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any utility company.
