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.
