How We Protect Your Privacy

In addition, though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law or to comply with a judicial proceeding, a subpoena, a court order, or other legal process.
Sussex Rural Electric Cooperative has implemented policy guidelines and security features to control access specific-customer account information and to help safeguard customer-specific account information from unauthorized access or improper use.
