The information is also updated in accordance with the rules governing information exchange in the electricity market.
We acquire potential customer data from competitions, raffles and telemarketing. We also collect data using cookies and similar technology, always according to the regulations in force. There is a separate section for the use of cookies in every digital service’s terms and conditions.
We may record all customer contacts. We use the recordings for authentication, handling of complaints and customer service development.
