Also, this information is needed to allow Northern States Power Company to send to the Subscriber notices or other mailings pertaining to their involvement in the Solar*Rewards Community Program. The Community Solar Garden Operator shall not disclose Subscriber information in annual reports or other public documents absent explicit, informed consent from the Subscriber. The Community Solar Garden Operator will not release any Subscriber data to third parties except to fulfill the regulated purposes of the Solar*Rewards Community Program, to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement, or upon explicit, informed consent from the Subscriber. c.
