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.

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.
