Your privacy is important to us. The following Privacy Policy
describes the types of information we gather and how we use
it. If the information practices of PhoneCo L.P. change, we
will let you know by posting the Privacy Policy adjustments
on our Web site. In addition, we will notify you via email
of any such changes before we use your personal information
in a manner not previously disclosed in our Privacy Policy.
Use of Information by PhoneCo
We gather certain types of customer information in an effort to
improve your user experience and to communicate with you about
our products, services, promotions and contests. We may also use
this information to help us develop and improve our site, tailoring
it to suit your interests.
Information Collected by PhoneCo
Our site collects two types of information about users: personal
information (such as name, email address, mailing address and phone
and credit card numbers) and aggregate information (such as information
about how many users log on to our site on a daily basis).
Personal Information Collected
Online by PhoneCo
Personal information is collected online when users voluntarily
register with PhoneCo to purchase items, receive electronic newsletters,
answer surveys and enter contests as well as other promotional
opportunities provided on our site. We also maintain a record of
your product interests and purchases online.
Aggregate Information Collected
Online by PhoneCo
Aggregate information is non-personally identifiable/anonymous
information about you, such as types of products purchased or pages
you access most frequently. Aggregate information is used in a
collective manner, and no single person can be identified by that
compiled information.
Sharing Information Collected
Online with Third Parties, Consultants and Affiliates
PhoneCo does not share, sell or trade your online personal information
with third parties. We do not contribute to or participate in cooperative
databases, giving other companies access to such personal information.
For privacy purposes, information relating to our customers is
stored on a highly secure server, and all credit card information
is transmitted in an industry-standard SSL-encrypted format to
protect sensitive data. Your credit card number is used for your
purchase only and not saved in our database. To make subsequent
purchases, you must enter your credit card again.
PhoneCo may share personal information gathered online if such
information is subpoenaed or required by law or if PhoneCo believes
that unlawful acts or acts that may endanger the health or safety
of another user or of the general public have been committed.
Use of Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that Web sites often store on your
hard drive. A cookie contains information (such as a unique user
ID) that is used to track the pages of the site you visit and other
information you voluntarily enter while navigating the site. PhoneCo
uses cookies to customize your user experience, making it more
enjoyable and efficient the next time you visit.
PhoneCo also uses cookies to measure activity on our site, which
allows us to determine which areas and features of our site are
most popular. This information allows us to make improvements and
updates to enhance your experience on our site.
You are always free to decline use of our cookies by turning them
off within your browser. Please note that if you elect to turn
off our cookies you may not be able to use certain features of
our site, including purchasing products from PhoneCo.
Security and SSL
Protecting your order information is a priority for us. We
use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the
security of
your online order information.
To check the security of your connection, look
at the lower left-hand corner of your browser window
after accessing the server. If you
see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser),
then SSL is active and the server is secure. You can also double-check
by looking at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a
secure server, the first characters of the site
address will change from "http" to "https."
Some versions of browsers and firewalls don't permit communication
through secure servers. In that case, you won't be able to connect
to the server and therefore won't be able to place an order through
an insecure connection. If you cannot access the secure server
for any reason, please place your order by phone at 1-800-4-A-PHONE
(1-800-427-4663).
Email and Electronic Newsletters
PhoneCo may offer electronic newsletters and emails
as a service to our users. You will only receive
a newsletter or email if you
choose to receive them during checkout.
Information Removal
If you prefer not to receive information from us,
please let us know by sending us an email at unsubscribe@PhoneCo1.com.
Please
be sure to include your name and email address. Please note that
such requests will not become effective immediately.
Children and Privacy
PhoneCo is concerned about the safety of children
when they use the Internet. We encourage parents
and guardians to spend time
with their children online and to be familiar with the sites
their children visit. We will never knowingly request
personally identifiable
information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable
parental consent.
Links to Other Sites
PhoneCo may contain links to sites other than our
own. Those sites may not follow the same privacy
policies as PhoneCo. We have no
responsibility for those sites and provide these links solely
for the convenience of our visitors. Such links
may be to advertisers,
content providers or partners who may use our products and/or
services as a result of a co-branding agreement.
These sites may send their
own cookies to you and may collect information and use it in
a way inconsistent with PhoneCo’s privacy policy. PhoneCo does
not control the content that appears on these sites and takes no
responsibility for their content, nor should it be implied that
PhoneCo endorses or otherwise recommends such sites or their products
or services offered.
Additional Information
No transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed
to be completely secure. It may be possible for
third parties not under the control
of PhoneCo to intercept or access transmissions or private communications
unlawfully. While we strive to protect your personal information,
PhoneCo cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information
you transmit to us. Any such transmission is done at your own
risk. If you choose to visit our site, your visit
and any dispute over
privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use,
including but not limited to limitations of damages and application
of the law of the State of Texas. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE, SHALL PhoneCo OR ITS AFFILIATES
BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF THE INFORMATION OR MATERIALS ON THE
PhoneCo SITE, EVEN IF PhoneCo OR AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE
OF PhoneCo HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES.
