Using the website

Meterbeat does not offer user accounts, connect to utility accounts, or include advertising trackers or a separate audience analytics service. Directory searches run in your browser; we do not submit your search text to a Meterbeat search server.

Hosting and security

The public website uses DigitalOcean hosting and Cloudflare for DNS, delivery and security. These services process technical request information, such as IP addresses, requested URLs, browser information and timestamps, to deliver and protect the site. Their service and security records are governed by their own practices. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy and DigitalOcean’s privacy policy.

Email correspondence

If you email us, we receive the address and information you include to handle your message, review corrections and maintain a record of our response. Incoming mail is forwarded through Cloudflare to our editorial mailbox. Please do not send passwords, account numbers or payment information.

Do not enter utility passwords or account numbers here. Official provider links take you to external websites with their own privacy practices.
