Privacy and Legalese

Privacy Statement

FinalTel Communications (FinalTel) has a strong commitment to protect customers' privacy on all the Web sites it operates. We welcome visitors to our sites, and we want to ensure you are comfortable. We pledge that as we gather and use information we do so responsibly and in a way that we believe will provide you and our other customers with better services and greater choices.

FinalTel sets high standards for the protection of customers' privacy over the Internet.

Information on an individual user is never identified or used. The information collected from users of FinalTel Web sites is used in ways that comport with general expectations and commonplace business practices to ensure quality Subscriber Services in our dealings with specific customers, as well as understand their service needs and product interests. Sometimes the information collected is through the process of customer's inquiries and that information helps us frame a relevant response. Sometimes the information is collected as a part of the ordering process. That information then makes its way into our provisioning, repair and maintenance, and billing systems.

In addition to responding to questions and providing service, we use the information we collect for customer contact purposes, e.g., to do market research or to send materials for marketing purposes, or to apprise customers of upcoming events (e.g., promotions) and new products (e.g., calling services and rate plans). If you would prefer that we not use the information we collect directly from you for this purpose, please let us know.

Except where required by law (e.g., court order) or regulation (e.g., state regulatory authority), FinalTel does not generally share customer information with others, unless we are engaged in the credit verification of a customer. When we do share information with others in this fashion, we require those companies to abide by our privacy standards and to apply appropriate security measures with respect to our data. For our part, we too take commercially reasonable steps to safeguard the information we collect and maintain from unauthorized access.

There may be instances where FinalTel generates statistics about the information provided by the Web site users. This analysis is not specific to any one individual and is used for evaluation of the effectiveness of the site. These statistics may be used to understand volumes of usage and to improve areas within the Web site for all our visitors.

FinalTel, or agents on FinalTel's behalf, will use e-mail to respond to specific questions or issues, or to inform about events or new products. FinalTel will not send unsolicited e-mail to individuals who log on to its Web sites who request it not be sent.

Users may be able to link to non-FinalTel sites from this site. FinalTel is not responsible for the content or privacy practices employed by other sites.

FinalTel reserves the right to increase its' information collection capabilities in order to better serve our customer needs. This privacy statement will be updated in the event that FinalTel changes its practices regarding customer information collected via the Web site.
