We collect some information on an anonymous basis and may anonymize the personal information we collect about you into data groups. When we employ non-Broadtela companies to anonymize or aggregate data on our behalf, the requirements for sharing Personal Information with non-companies apply. We may share aggregate or anonymous information in various formats with trusted non-Broadtela entities, with whom we have contracted with to aggregate such data and may work with those entities to do research and provide products and services. When Broadtela jointly provides a service with a non- Broadtela company, your Personal Information may be subject to both this Policy and the privacy policy of the nonBroadtela company. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any non- Broadtela company with which you do business to determine what information will be collected and how it will be used or disclosed to others.
Subject to applicable legal restrictions, such as those that exist for Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI), the Broadtela family of companies may share your Personal Information with each other to make sure your experience is as seamless as possible, and you have the full benefit of what Broadtela and its subsidiaries have to offer. Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) is information that relates to the quantity, configuration, type, destination, location and amount of use of the telecommunications services you purchase from us, as well as the information contained in your bills for those services. We collect CPNI in the normal course of providing you with telecommunications services. Your telephone number, name and address are not CPNI.
We share your Personal Information only with non-Broadtela companies that perform services on our behalf, and only as necessary for them to perform those services. We require those non-Broadtela companies to protect any Personal Information they may receive in a manner consistent with this policy, and we do not provide Personal Information to non-Broadtela companies for the marketing of their own products and services without your consent. We may provide Personal Information to non-Broadtela companies or other third parties for purposes such as emergencies, pursuant to court orders, identity verification to prevent fraud and identity theft, enforcing of property rights, or obtaining payment for products and services that appear on your Broadtela billing statements.
You may opt out of Broadtela’s use of data for internet-based advertising. Please keep in mind that even after you opt-out, you may still continue to see ads, but they will no longer be tailored to your interests.
Opting-out also does not remove Broadtela cookies. They will remain on your computer, but we will not use the data connected to your cookie for our services. Please note that if you delete your cookies, you will need to opt-out again to avoid being served targeted ads in the future. Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some features or areas of our site may be limited.
We have relationships with other third party advertising companies to place advertisements on this website and other websites, and to perform tracking and reporting functions for this website and other websites. These third party advertising companies may place cookies on your computer when you visit our website or other websites so that they can display targeted advertisements to you. These third party advertising companies do not collect Personal Information in this process, and we do not give any Personal Information to them. However, this Privacy Statement does not cover the collection methods or use of the information collected by these entities. For more information about third party advertising, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI). Opt out of being targeted by many third party advertising companies by visiting NAI’s Consumer Opt-Out orTRUSTe’s Opt-Out.
Broadtela may enter into written product or service agreements with business customers that contain specific provisions related to the confidentiality, security or other handling of information. When provisions of a written product or service agreement differ from or conflict with the provisions of this Policy, the terms of the written agreement will apply. In all other instances, the terms of this Policy apply.
The FTC maintains a National Do Not Call Registry at donotcall.gov, and your state may maintain its own Do Not Call Registry. Putting your number on these Registries also may limit our telemarketing calls to that number.
Our practices as described above are designed to satisfy state and federal legal requirements limiting marketing contacts. You should know that those laws and regulations — such as the requirements governing the state and federal “Do Not Call” lists — generally permit companies to contact their own current and, in some cases, former customers, even when those customers are listed on the federal and state “Do Not Call” lists. Similarly, restricting our use of your CPNI will not eliminate all types of Broadtela marketing contacts.
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy as necessary to reflect any changes we make and to satisfy legal requirements. If we make a material change to this Policy, we will post a prominent notice of the change on our websites, and provide you with other appropriate notice and choice regarding the use of your information, at least 30 days before the effective date.
Please check our websites periodically for changes to this Privacy Policy.
