FirstEnergy is the parent of Potomac Edison, which serves Maryland and West Virginia customers. FirstEnergy has been the subject of one of the largest utility corruption matters in recent US history involving legislative bribery in Ohio - this pass did not independently verify the settlement figures or current posture, so none are asserted here, and a direct follow-up is recommended before publishing anything on it. The point that does hold without qualification is that a Maryland household's utility data governance is set by a corporate parent under that cloud, and the household has no alternative provider.

Terms
Arbitration
Not applicable in the typical consumer-arbitration sense for many utilities, which are often regulated monopolies subject to state public utility commission oversight rather than private arbitration — recommend confirming this utility's specific dispute-resolution process.
Data sharing
Not independently confirmed this pass with a specific named data-privacy lawsuit or breach; as a regional electric/gas utility, this company has a DIRECT consumer billing relationship with residential customers in its service territory (similar to the Pepco/BGE/Dominion utilities documented in the Power Utilities tab) — recommend a direct follow-up checking for shutoff-notification practices, billing-dispute processes, and any breach history specific to this utility's service territory.
Fees and billing
Not itemized this pass.
Contacts
Privacy contact. Not recorded.
Legal notice. Not verified this pass. If publicly traded: SEC Form 10-K cover page gives the official corporate address; the Secretary of State business-entity search in the state of incorporation gives the registered agent, which must accept service. If private: the state registered agent is usually the only reliable route.
Mailing address. Not recorded.
