Third Party Registration

Scope of Use Disclosure

When you ask a customer to authorize access to their utility data, we require that you disclose how you're going to use it. Your scope of use description below will be shown to your customers on the authorization form.

This is a short statement that will be presented to customers when authorizing data sharing with you, so that they know how you will use their data.

Helpful Tip: You don't have to come up with a perfect scope of use description now, since you can edit your scopes of use descriptions in your settings at any time.

If you have multiple scopes of use (e.g. you are requesting data from some customers for X purpose, and some customers for Y purpose), you can add those multiple scopes of use in your settings after you register, then pre-select which one you want to present to the user during authorization. This is just the default scope of use for your registration.

As part of your scope of use description, you can optionally link the user to your complete terms of service that describes how you will use their data. This link is added to the end of the scope of use description, so you still need to provide a succinct description and not just a link.

If you're a small company that doesn't have a detailed terms of service on your website for customers, no worries! Just try to be as clear as possible in your scope of use description about how you will use the customer's data.
NOTE: Customers will see what you write here as part of the authorization process, so try to make it easy for them to understand. You can also add more scopes of use after you register if you need more than one for different use cases.
