PBNext™ | DelTel Privacy Policy

OUR COMMITMENT: RESPECTING AND PROTECTING OUR CUSTOMERS' PRIVACY

Your privacy is important to us. DelTel respects and protects the privacy of our customers. We carefully ensure the confidentiality of each customer's account information. And we recognize that, as the provider of telecommunications services, we must also ensure the privacy of each customer's telephone calling information.

SUMMARY

To provide our customers with their own accurate, detailed billing information, we maintain detailed records. We will not sell this Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) - in any form, including billing records, calling habits or type of service - to unaffiliated third parties.
We will not provide customer email addresses to outside parties for the marketing of their products.
To ensure that you will not receive recurring marketing information from us unless you choose to, we will provide you with simple instructions on each marketing email from DelTel for you to let us know that you have chosen to stop receiving such emails from us.
We will keep customers' personal information secure and confidential through safeguards such as secure encryption technology and by requiring user names and passwords to access personal information.

WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT, HOW WE USE IT AND HOW YOU CAN CONTROL ITS USE

Information we collect, use and disclose to provide products and services

DelTel collects and uses customer information or "personal information" such as name, address, phone number, and demographic, billing, payment, and transaction information. We may use personal information to monitor our customers' quality of service and/or to provide products and services.
DelTel may also provide customer information to third parties solely in order to provide certain DelTel-offered products and services.
DelTel collects email addresses from customers to provide account-related communications and product/service information. Customers cannot opt-out of non-marketing emails that are directly related to the servicing of their accounts.
Email addresses may be used for marketing DelTel-offered products and services. DelTel email marketing practices are described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
We may share necessary information with outside parties, such as shipping companies, to complete an order.
We may share necessary information with our network providers and carrier partners to the extent necessary to provide our services.
We may, where permitted by law, provide information to credit bureaus, or provide information and/or sell receivables to collection agencies, to obtain payment for DelTel-offered products and services.
DelTel or one of our authorized agents may also use personal information to market and sell DelTel-offered products and services.

Information we disclose to third parties

DelTel does not disclose any of our customers’ personal information to third parties for the marketing of third-party products and services.
DelTel may contact our customers on behalf of our third-party partners to offer products and services that are offered by our partners, when we believe these products would be of interest to our customers. Our customers can opt-out of third-party marketing communications that originate from us by contacting customer service.
DelTel must disclose information, when requested, to comply with court orders or subpoenas. We will also share information when necessary to prevent unlawful use of communications services, and when necessary to repair network outages.
Your business name and PBNext business telephone number may be transmitted and displayed on a Caller ID device. We may, but are not required to, provide you the option to block such information (“Caller ID Blocking”). Please note that Caller ID Blocking does not prevent the display of your number when you dial certain business numbers or toll-free numbers.

CUSTOMER PROPRIETARY NETWORK INFORMATION (CPNI) AND HOW WE USE IT

Background on CPNI

In the normal course of providing telephone service, DelTel collects and maintains certain information about customer accounts. This information, when matched to a customer's name, address and calling or originating billing telephone number is known as "Customer Proprietary Network Information” or CPNI for short.
Examples of CPNI include information typically available from details on a customer's monthly telephone bill -- the type of line, technical characteristics, class of service, current telephone charges, long distance and local service billing records, directory assistance charges, usage data and calling patterns.
Data must combine personally identifiable information with proprietary network information before it can be considered CPNI.
Subscriber list information, such as a customer's name, service address and telephone numbers, by itself, is not CPNI.

How we use your CPNI

DelTel does not sell CPNI to unaffiliated third parties and abides by the federal and/or state CPNI rules that apply to all telecommunications carriers.
Ordinarily, we may use your CPNI for marking our products and services, or the products and services of our third-party partners, as outlined elsewhere in this policy. Such marketing is limited to marketing products directly to you, and not to any other person or business found within your CPNI (such as a telephone number in your call-details)
If you would like to restrict the use of your CPNI for the marketing of products and services, please contact customer service. Restricting use will not eliminate all DelTel marketing contacts.
We will never use your call-details to market any products to telephone numbers which you receive calls from, or place calls to.
Nothing in this policy shall be construed to prevent DelTel from releasing generalized network statistics, such as our overall network usage and a generalized view of our customers calling patterns, as long as such information is not identifiable (i.e. doesn’t contain any names, addresses, specific telephone numbers, or other personality identifiable information).

USER PERSONAL INFORMATION (UPI) AND HOW WE USE IT

Our service allows users to place certain personal information on our servers. An example of such information is a user’s address book and the telephone numbers that a user’s calls are forwarded to. This type of information is referred to as “User personal information” or UPI for short.
Account and billing related information, including call-details, is not considered UPI.
If information can be considered both CPNI and UPI, it will be treated as CPNI.
We will never, under any circumstances, use UPI for any purpose whatsoever, other than to provide you with the service for which you provided us the UPI.
We may, however, view such information with your permission, in order to assist you with a problem.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR DATA

We maintain and protect the security of our servers and your personal information.
To secure the information collected online, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure only appropriate use of information, DelTel has established appropriate physical, electronic and management safeguards.
We require user names and passwords to access sensitive data.
Unless you authorize unencrypted transmission, we will use industry standard encryption methods to protect your data transmission.

Our email marketing practices

We periodically send customers news via email regarding products, new offers and special promotions.
We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by the recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
Every email correspondence DelTel sends contains instructions on how to stop additional marketing emails.

DelTel corporate Web sites are not designed to attract children under the age of 13 and DelTel does not knowingly collect personal information from children on our Web sites.
Ordering products and services from DelTel is limited to adults age 18 or over or as otherwise legally defined.

This Privacy Policy supersedes and replaces all previously posted Privacy Policies.
Our Privacy Policy is regularly reviewed and revised to make sure we continue to serve the best interests of our customers.
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy to reflect any changes.
If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes to this Policy, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If, however, we are going to use personal information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify Web visitors by posting a notice on our Web site for 30 days.
