Generally, 360 Communications gathers and uses Personal Information internally in connection with providing the Service to Customer, including to personalize, evaluate and improve the Service and 360 Communications’s ability to provide the Service to Customer, to contact Customer, to respond to and fulfill Customer requests regarding the Service, and to analyze how Customer uses the Service. 360 Communications may share Customer’s Personal Information with its Affiliates and with other third parties as described below:

What Information does 360 Communications collect and how does 360 Communications use this Information?

Personal Information

Personal Information is the information Customer provides to 360 Communications voluntarily or passively through Customer use of the Service and/or website, and which is directly associated with or reasonably linked to a specific person, computer or device. For example, through the registration process, when the equipment to provide the Service is installed, maintained or upgraded at Customer’s premises, when Customer contacts 360 Communications regarding the Service, and through Customer account settings, 360 Communications collects Personal Information such as Customer name, email address, phone number, billing address and billing information (such as credit card account number or other financial account information), service address, and the nature of any of Customer devices or other property making use of the Service. Personal Information also includes Customer proprietary network information (“CPNI”) which is collected and used to provide VoIP services. CPNI includes any information that relates to the quantity, technical configuration, type, destination, location, and amount of use of our VoIP service, such as call detail, logs, and specifics regarding your VoIP account.

Customer may be required to provide certain Personal Information to 360 Communications in order to register with 360 Communications, to assist 360 Communications in improving Customer’s Service or troubleshooting problems Customer is experiencing with the Service, Customer computer or device, or otherwise to improve the quality of the Service. 360 Communications will communicate with Customer if Customer has provided 360 Communications the means to do so. For example, if Customer has given 360 Communications Customer’s email address or phone number, 360 Communications will email or call Customer about Customer use of the Service or product improvements or upgrades, and other transactional information about Customer Service. 360 Communications may also combine Customer Personal Information with additional Personal Information obtained from 360 Communications Facebook Pages or other social network platforms, its Affiliates, its Operational Service Providers (third party owned companies that provide or perform services on 360 Communications’s behalf, to help serve Customer better and to perform functions in order to support 360 Communications businesses and operations), or other companies, such as credit bureaus, background check firms, and marketing research companies. Some forms of Non-Personal Information as described below will be classified as Personal Information if required by applicable law or when such information is directly associated with or reasonably linked to a specific person, computer or device, or is combined with other forms of Personal Information.

Non-Personal Information

Website Information, Use of Cookies and other Similar Tracking Technology Used for Standard Business Operations

When you visit 360 Communications’s website, 360 Communications will collect various types of Non-Personal Information, such as information on 360 Communications server logs from Customer’s browser or device, which may include Customer IP address, unique device identifier, “cookie” information, the type of browser and/or device you’re using to access the Service, and the page or feature Customer requested. (IP Address and device identifiers are traditionally classified as Non-Personal Information, unless 360 Communications is required to do so otherwise under applicable law.) “Cookies” and “web beacons” are text file identifiers 360 Communications transfers to Customer’s browser or device that allow 360 Communications to recognize Customer’s browser or device and tell 360 Communications how and when pages and features on the 360 Communications website are visited, by how many people, and other activity on the website. Customer can change the preferences on Customer’s browser or device to prevent or limit Customer’s device’s acceptance of cookies, web beacons or other similar technology, but this may prevent Customer from taking advantage of some of the features on the 360 Communications website, or accessing certain functions and conveniences. If Customer clicks on a link to a third party website or service, such third party may also transmit cookies to Customer. Again, this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies or other such tracking technology by any third parties, and 360 Communications is not responsible for their privacy policies and practices. 360 Communications also uses Personal Information and Non-Personal Information to enhance the 360 Communications website and 360 Communications Service offerings. For example, such information can tell 360 Communications how often visitors use a particular feature of the 360 Communications website and which products and services are most interesting to current and potential Customers, and 360 Communications can use that knowledge to make the website useful and interesting to as many users as possible and to enhance and refine 360 Communications’s Service offerings. 360 Communications will continue to conduct analytics on 360 Communications website performance; Customer may not opt-out of this use of cookies or other Personal Information or Non-Personal Information.

Technology is improving every day and to improve 360 Communications’s Services’ operations and functions, 360 Communications may introduce new technologies and monitoring techniques without advance notice or consent from Customer, unless required by law. 360 Communications may also use third party providers to conduct such internal analyses.

Network Information Used for Standard Business Operations

360 Communications also collects Network Information, information about Customer access to, and use of, the 360 Communications Network, which may or may not be directly associated with or reasonably linked to a specific person, computer or device. For example, 360 Communications may collect information about the performance of the Provider Equipment installed on Customer property or at Customer premises, when Customer is using the Service, the various devices Customer is using to access the Service, the amount of data Customer is transmitting and receiving, the content of the data Customer are transmitting and receiving, the websites Customer is visiting, and any other information that is transmitted over the 360 Communications Network. 360 Communications may also aggregate Network Information from multiple customers and 360 Communications will share such aggregated Non-Personal information about the overall performance of the 360 Communications Service and the 360 Communications Network with our Affiliates and other third parties. Aggregated information does not identify a specific individual, computer or device. We use Network Information to monitor and enhance the performance of the 360 Communications Network. 360 Communications will not monitor the content of the websites viewed or email communications as part of 360 Communications’s standard network management.

Generally, 360 Communications will only monitor and preserve the following Network Information:

When Customer is using the Service;

  • How Customer is using the Service, such as monitoring traffic patterns regarding websites visited, amount of data being sent or received, or other activity;
  • The amount of data Customer is transmitting and receiving through the Service; and
  • General information regarding the performance of the Provider Equipment installed on Customer’s property or at Customer’s premises, and its interaction with the rest of 360 Communications’s Network.

 

However, 360 Communications reserves the right to, and may, monitor, access, review and preserve any Network Information and/or content in the following situations:

In response to an inquiry from Customer or another Authorized User on Customer’s account regarding Customer or their use of the Service or problems Customer or they are experiencing using the Service;

  • If 360 Communications has reason to believe Customer is using the Service in violation of Customer’s TSA or PSA or any applicable statutes, rules, ordinances or regulations;
  • If 360 Communications has reason to believe Customer use of the Service is negatively affecting other Customers; or
  • When 360 Communications is required by law or legal process to do so, or when 360 Communications a good faith belief that 360 Communications is required by law or legal process to do so.

 

How is Personal Information used for marketing and advertising purposes?

360 Communications will use Personal Information to send Customer marketing and advertising messages related to 360 Communications’s Service and website using Customer’s email address, postal address, or telephone number (for voice, texts, and pre-recorded calls). 360 Communications may deliver a marketing or advertising message based on Customer visits to 360 Communications website, which will be general advertising or “Contextual Advertising,” which is advertising based on the subject matter or the content of the specific website page or subject matter. 360 Communications may also send Customer “First Party Advertising,” which is advertising that is customized or personalized based on a history of Customer’s use of our Services (possibly combined with information from our Facebook fan page or other social network platforms). First Party Advertising is based solely on a combination of information 360 Communications collects from Customer – not from Customer’s visits to other websites across the Internet. Customer may opt-out of First Party Advertising but not Contextual Advertising. No Personal Information is used to deliver Contextual Advertising; it automatically will appear based on the content or webpage Customer is viewing. And Customer may continue to receive general advertising if Customer opts-out of First Party Advertising, it will not be customized or personalized for Customer. 360 Communications does not provide third party “Network Advertising,” which is advertising based on Customer’s overall Internet usage across different third party websites or online services. Multiple third party websites and online services are involved in this tailored or personalized advertising process, in essence a “network” of advertising providers. Because 360 Communications does not provide network ads, 360 Communications does not recognize the “Do Not Track” settings on various Internet browsers. 360 Communications does not engage or allow third parties to track you across the Internet and across time for advertising purposes.

The 360 Communications Site and/or Facebook Pages (or other social networking platforms) may contain a variety of content and functionality and may provide links to other third party websites or online services. Despite such links, this Privacy Policy applies only to 360 Communications and our Affiliates. The presence of a link does not constitute or imply 360 Communications’s endorsement, recommendation, or sponsorship of the content, goods, services, business or privacy practices on such websites or online services. 360 Communications encourages Customers to be aware and informed when Customers leave 360 Communications’s website and 360 Communications’s Facebook Pages, or any other social networking platforms.

Customer’s Personal Information will only be disclosed to third parties (including 360 Communications’s Affiliates) as listed in this Privacy Policy, if 360 Communications has received your consent at the time 360 Communications will collect your Personal Information or prior to the disclosure of any Personal Information. 360 Communications reserves the right to fully use, disclose and process any Non-Personal Information collected from Customer in any manner as well as any information Customer makes public via 360 Communications Services or website. 360 Communications will not rent, sell or disclose Personal Information to anyone not related to 360 Communications for marketing or promotional purposes, unless in connection with a potential or actual sale, merger or a corporate restructuring by or of 360 Communications.

  • To Operational Service Providers: 360 Communications and its Affiliates contract with other companies and people to perform tasks or services on 360 Communications’s behalf and need to share Customer Personal Information to provide products or services to Customers.

Unless 360 Communications tells Customer differently, 360 Communications does not grant its Operational Service Providers any right to use the Personal Information 360 Communications shares with them beyond what is necessary to assist 360 Communications.
  • For Business Transfers/Restructuring: 360 Communications may choose to buy or sell assets, or 360 Communications may sell assets or be sold.

  • For Protection of 360 Communications, and Our Affiliates, Employees, Operational Service Providers, Users and Customers and Public Safety: 360 Communications reserves the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any Personal Information 360 Communications has access to if 360 Communications believes doing so will implement and/or enforce the TSA or PSA, Website Terms of Use Agreement, Privacy Policy or any legal document; protect the 360 Communications Network(s), website(s), and company assets; protect the interests, rights, property, and/or safety of 360 Communications or our Affiliates, employees and officers/directors, Operational Service Providers, Users and Customers, agents, third party licensors or suppliers, or the general public.
