Business Records - Information Collected/Nature of Use

So that we may provide reliable, high-quality service and maintain adequate records, we keep regular business records that contain your name, address, telephone numbers, other relevant billing information and other personally identifiable information. Such records include billing, payment, deposit, complaint and service information and other information you have furnished to us, such as equipment specifications and the service options you have chosen. We may also collect and maintain information about you that enables us to provide to a more personalized online experience, such as your locale and preferences you indicate with respect to service options. By indicating your agreement to this Agreement, you consent to our collection of this information.

We use the above-described information to sell, maintain, disconnect and reconnect services; to make sure that you are being billed properly for the services you receive; and to maintain financial accounting, tax, service and property records, including records required by the terms of any local franchise applicable to the Service. With certain information we collect and maintain, like your locale, we can deliver to you area appropriate weather, sports or news information.

Confidentiality Of Business Records - Disclosure - Nature/Frequency/Purpose

We consider information we keep to be confidential. We may collect personally identifiable information from you and disclose it to a third party if disclosure is necessary to render data services and other services we provide to you pursuant to this Agreement and related business activities. In that regard, we may make your records available routinely to our employees, agents and contractors to install, market, provide and audit services provided pursuant to this Agreement; to an independent billing house to send bills; to a mailing service to send information that complements the Service; to programmers and outside auditors to check our records; to attorneys and accountants as necessary to render service to us; to potential purchasers of our business in connection with a potential sale of that business; to local franchise authorities to demonstrate compliance with any applicable local franchise terms; to collection services if required to collect past due bills; and to one or more other third parties if necessary to render a service to you or to conduct a legitimate business activity related to such service. The frequency of disclosure varies according to business needs. We also may electronically test the system from time to time to determine whether you are being billed properly for the services you are receiving. We will take reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorized access to the information. Furthermore, we may disclose your name and address for mailing lists and other purposes permitted by law, and that and other information pursuant to a court order as discussed above.
