Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it’s up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday’s paper.

Our energy company wants to install a smart meter in our home. My partner is happy with it but I find it intrusive, and am concerned about how they are going to use the data (it is managed by a unit of Capita). Am I being a bit of a luddite? Or am I right to take a stand against them?
