Company believes that Spyware is a threat to consumer privacy and a consumer's experience online. Therefore, we forbid any Company employee, agent, partner, affiliate or contractor from intentionally deploying or using Spyware (as defined in this policy) on behalf of Company. Spyware refers to any executable software application that is installed on a user's personal computer and covertly gathers and transmits PII through the user's Internet connection without the knowledge or consent of the user. Cookies are not considered Spyware. Spyware may gather PII, such as e-mail addresses and credit card information, and may even alter personal computer settings. Intentional use of Spyware by any Company employee, agent, partner or affiliate on Company's behalf will not be tolerated and will be considered grounds for dismissal, contract termination and/or loss of payment.
Company will use PII (1) to market products and services to customers and visitors that Company believes may be of interest to them, (2) to provide services and products requested by customers and visitors and (3) to enable its vendors and contractors to provide and assist Company in the marketing and provision of such services and products to Company, customers or visitors. However, we will not share your credit card information with any third parties unless they are involved in processing payments for services that you have purchased from Company. Company only works with partners whom we believe maintain high standards with respect to privacy and consumer rights.
Company may also use and disclose PII to investigate and help prevent potentially unlawful activity or activities that threaten the integrity of our service or network, to investigate fraud or violations of our Terms of Service, as required by courts or administrative agencies or in connection with a sale, merger or reorganization of Company's business.
Non-PII may be shared with any number of third parties by Company.
In the course of providing services to you, we collect and maintain certain customer proprietary network information ("CPNI"). CPNI includes the types of services you currently purchase, related usage and billing information for those services. Your telephone number, name and address are not CPNI. We value our relationships with our customers and are committed to respecting and protecting your CPNI. Accordingly, we do not sell, trade or share your CPNI, including your calling records outside of Company or with anyone not authorized to offer our products or services, or to perform functions on our behalf except as authorized by you or required by law. Generally, we can use your CPNI to offer additional services to you, and for billing and collections purposes. We can also disclose your CPNI for legal or regulatory reasons, including in response to subpoenas and court orders. We can also use CPNI to investigate fraud and to prevent violation of our Terms of Service and unlawful use of our network, services and other customers.

In addition, Company has implemented operations guidelines to ensure customer and visitor privacy is safeguarded at every level of its organization. Company will continue to revise policies and implement additional security features as new technologies becomes available.
