450TeL'S PRIVACY POLICY 450TeL and its Subsidiaries respect your privacy and are committed to protect the privacy of your personal information. We appreciate that with the ever-increasing expansion of the internet, online services and technology generally, more and more questions are being asked about the nature, use and confidentiality of information collected about individual consumers. 450TeL is committed to providing an effective, safe and responsible service to its customers. As such, 450TeL is committed to ensuring the privacy of its customers -- below is a user-friendly breakdown of how the commitment has manifested itself in 450TeL's policies. What is 450TeL's policy with respect to my personal information? 450TeL does and will not share, disclose or sell any personal information (such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address) collected online on 450TeL sites with other unaffiliated companies or organizations for non-450TeL marketing purposes. Will 450TeL's policy ever change in future? What then? In the future, should 450TeL decide to share such data with third parties for marketing, it will provide notification and the opportunity for its users to indicate whether they would prefer that the Company not provide such information about them to third parties. Because this information is a critical part of our business, it will be treated like our other assets in the context of a merger, sale or other corporate reorganization or legal proceeding. How does 450TeL acquire my personal information? 450TeL collects information online by asking you for it, for example, when you order a service, apply for a job, or respond to a survey, sweepstakes or other promotion. A customer's name, address (postal and e-mail) and telephone number are the most important pieces of information, but we might request other information, based on, for example, the service(s) being ordered or promoted. What about other kinds of information? Does 450TeL keeps statistics on its customers? 450TeL may also use "cookies" and similar technology to obtain information about your visits to our sites or your responses to e-mail from us - both individually and in aggregated data that does not identify you. These reporting tools tell us the parts of our web sites or e-mails in which you showed an interest or took some action, and help us improve the quality and usefulness of our sites. At 450TeL, we primarily use cookies to determine what services or promotions you are interested in. While cookies help us improve your experience while visiting our sites and customize our communications to the services you may desire, you have the option to block them through your Internet browser or other commercially available software. However, doing so may make some of our sites' features unavailable to you. What steps does 450TeL take to ensure that my information is safe? We use encryption, firewalls and other technology and security procedures to help protect the accuracy and security of your personal information and prevent unauthorized access or improper use. For example, when checking your call history online, you'll be asked to submit a password or some other type of information confirming your legitimate access to the account. Does 450TeL share its information with other companies? 450TeL does not share information about customers with other companies, as previously mentioned. But another way we collect information online is through our affinity program partners who may provide us with information they already obtained from you online. For example when you are on a partner's site and click on a 450TeL banner that takes you to a 450TeL site, information that the partner has received from you already may be passed to 450TeL. Why does 450TeL keep customers' personal information on file? 450TeL uses the personal information we collect online principally to provide you with the service(s) you have ordered and to let you know about other offerings which may be of interest to you. Postal and e-mail address information, for example, enables communication about services offered and ordered, as well as the proper provisioning and billing of those services. Like most large businesses today, 450TeL uses vendors to carry out certain functions in marketing and delivering services to you (such as processing data files and sending you new order fulfillment information), and so shares online data with those vendors to the extent necessary for them to perform their work. Of course, such partners and vendors must use that personal information only for the purpose(s) for which it was shared and protect it from any further use. 450TeL also shares such information with other industry and credit-related organizations to improve operations and to protect against fraud, security and credit risks. Apart from marketing and delivering services, are there other uses for personal information kept on file? We also provide personal information online information in response to legal demands, and where we believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against individuals who may be endangering public safety or interfering with 450TeL property or services, or with our customers' or others' use of them. Is there anyway I can keep track of the personal information that 450TeL has received from me? You may review or update the available personal information that we received from you online by contacting Consumer Service, or through the Company contact information below. Please note that in order to better protect you and safeguard your information, we take steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections to your information. Will 450TeL provide my email address to other companies? Will I receive any unwanted spam? You will not receive unsolicited emails from 450TeL. 450TeL may use e-mail addresses you provide us online on 450TeL sites to send you e-mail related to 450TeL products and services or if you have affirmatively indicated a desire to receive additional information. If ever you'd like to stop receiving email correspondence from 450TeL, simply contact Customer Service.
