Budget800’s Online Privacy Policy
Your privacy is very important to us. Budget800 maintains
strict customer information privacy policies and we have put
in place the following Privacy Policy to protect customer
identifiable information. Except as specifically modified in
a Customer Agreement, this policy applies to all "customer
identifiable" information that Budget800 obtains when a
customer registers for or uses our service, including
visiting our web site. Budget800 will continue to protect
customer information derived from its local and long
distance services consistent with federal laws and with
federal regulations issued by the Federal Communications
Commission.
Customer Identifiable Information:
Online privacy concerns focus on the protection of "customer
identifiable" information which a customer reasonably
expects to be kept private. "Customer identifiable"
information is information which can be associated with a
specific individual or entity, including, for example, a
customer's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address,
and information about online activities that are directly
linked to them.
As is
common practice, we collect customer identifiable
information, such as name, address, telephone number, and a
variety of other information in the course of billing and
providing telephone services to a customer. As an Internet
based service, we also collect information about you and
your on-line preferences.
In the
course of using our Web site and Internet services, we also
automatically track certain information about you. This
information may include the URL that you just came from
(whether this URL is on our site or not), which URL you next
go to (whether this URL is on our site or not), what browser
you are using, and your IP address. We use this information
in the normal operation of the site and we may disclose this
information on an aggregated basis.
Budget800 protects online customer identifiable information
as follows:
Disclosure.
Except as provided in this Policy, Budget800 will not sell,
trade, rent or disclose to third parties any customer
identifiable information derived from the registration for
or use of our service -- including customer names and
addresses -- without the consent of the customer (except (i)
as required by subpoena, search warrant, or other legal
process or in the case of imminent physical harm to the
customer or others, or (ii) in the case of our resellers or
dealers, where you have already provided such customer
identifiable information to such reseller or dealer). When
Budget800 uses other agents, contractors or companies to
perform services on its behalf, Budget800 will ensure that
such agents, contractors or companies protect your customer
identifiable information consistent with this Policy.
Collection and Use.
Budget800 will collect and use customer identifiable
information for billing purposes, to anticipate and resolve
problems with your service, or to create and inform you of
products and services that better meet your needs. This
means that Budget800 may use your customer identifiable
information, in conjunction with information available from
other sources, to market new Budget800 services to you that
we think will be of interest to you, to inform you of
enhancements or changes to your existing service, and for
other reasons, but we will not disclose your customer
identifiable information to third parties who want to market
products to you.
Web
Traffic and Statistics.
We may monitor certain pages of our web site for the purpose
of reporting web traffic, statistics, advertisement
"click-throughs" and /or other activities on our site. We
may use cookies, web beacons and/or other monitoring
technologies to compile anonymous statistics on our web site
visitors. If we use a third party to provide monitoring and
reporting for us, no personally identifiable data will be
collected by or transferred to the third party.
Security.
Budget800 has implemented technology and security features
and strict policy guidelines to safeguard the privacy of
your customer identifiable information from unauthorized
access or improper use, and we will continue to enhance our
security procedures as new technology becomes available.
Improper Conduct.
Buget800 may also use customer identifiable information to
investigate and help prevent potentially unlawful activity
or activity that threatens the network or otherwise violates
the customer agreement for that service.
Third
Party Collectors of Information.
Our policy only addresses the use and disclosure of
information we collect from you. To the extent that you
disclose your information to other parties, different rules
may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal
information you disclose to them. In the case of dealers and
resellers of Budget800 services or Budget800 co-branded
services, we exercise commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such persons to honor the provisions of this Privacy
Policy, but we cannot be held responsible if they fail to do
so. Since we do not control the privacy policies of third
parties, we encourage you to ask questions before you
disclose your personal information to others.
Cookies.
Like most Web sites, Budget800 makes use of browser
"cookies." Cookies are files written to a user's hard disk
and read by server programs to inform a Web site if the user
has previously visited that site. We use cookies to
continually enhance your Budget800 experience, and may use
them in the future to store customer preferences and
choices. Our Subscriber Login and Subscriber Services pages
may use cookies to store and retrieve session identifiers
that correspond to a secure database containing each
customer's user name and password information. This
facilitates access by customers to Budget800 customer
services.
