We have set forth this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect and use information from our customers who use services and products from Company and from visitors to our web sites and from potential customers who have made contact or interacted with Company, both in connection with online and offline services and products offered by Company.
Collection of Information
Company may collect personally identifiable information, including but not limited to name, physical address, email address, telephone number, credit card information and other personal information (collectively, "PII"), from Customers when initiating service and in connection with the provision or marketing of products and services. Company may collect PII from visitors in connection with any visit to our web sites, any communication about our services and products or other transactions or interactions with Company.
Company may also collect some non-personally identifiable information from customers and visitors regarding usage of our services or our web site ("Non-PII"). Non-PII may include web site pages viewed, time spent, demographic information, cookies and other information which does not specifically identify any one individual.

Anti-Spyware Policy
Company believes that Spyware is a threat to consumer privacy and to 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 an executable software application that is installed on a user's 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.

Accordingly, we do not share, trade or sell 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 regulatory or legal reasons, including in response to court orders and subpoenas. We can also use CPNI to investigate fraud and to prevent violation of our Terms of Service and unlawful use of our services and other customers.
