We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, social media trackers, device fingerprinting, or behavioral profiling technologies.

You may adjust your browser settings to limit certain tracking technologies, though this should not affect your experience on our website since we do not rely on cookies for functionality.

El Paso Electric is based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. Our website is hosted on servers located in the United States.

If you are accessing our website from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Our use of Cloudflare as a CDN means that web traffic may be routed through Cloudflare's global network of servers, which may include servers located outside of your country. Additionally, Google Fonts are served from Google's global CDN infrastructure.

For visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland, any transfer of personal data to the United States is conducted in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the use of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) where required.


6. Data Security and Retention

6.1. Data Security

We employ industry-standard technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

  • Encryption: SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit (HTTPS enforced site-wide).
  • Cloudflare Protection: DDoS mitigation, web application firewall, and bot management.
  • Access Controls: Restricting access to personal data to authorized personnel only.
  • Data Minimization: Collecting only necessary data. Our analytics tool is cookieless and does not collect personal data.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6.2. Data Retention

We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy. For contact form submissions, we retain your information for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter for record-keeping purposes, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

When we no longer need your personal data, we will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with applicable law.
