JBN Telephone Company, Inc. and its affiliates (“We”,
“Our” or “Us”) are committed to the principles
of privacy and security on the Internet. We want you to enjoy your
experience using the JBN Telephone Website (“The Site”)
with the confidence that comes from knowing the practices that We follow regarding
the treatment of personal information We collect through The Site. That is why
We have created this Online Privacy Policy ("Policy") to inform those
who register with Us (“Registered Users”) and those who visit ("Visitors")
The Site (collectively, "Customers"), of the ways we collect, use, safeguard
and disclose of information We obtain from them through The Site.
This Policy informs you of:
· Information Collection and Use
· Information Management
· Information Retention
· Security
· Cookies
· Policy Modifications

Information Collection and Use
We collect Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) when you
register for an online account and when you use features within the site. Upon
registration, We collect your name, phone number, email address, zip code, gender,
age group, site password, and a secret question and answer that you can use
in the event you forget your password.
Generally, We use PII to manage The Site. More specifically, We use PII to
communicate with our Customers, for abuse management, and to maintain financial,
tax and legal records. We may make PII of Customers available to our employees,
agents and contractors for our internal business purposes, as well as to Our
outside auditors, attorneys and accountants, potential and actual purchasers
of Our business. The frequency of any such information disclosure will vary
in accordance with Our business needs. We may also use PII to contact you for
reasons of doing business, or send you marketing or informational materials
from Us or on behalf of our affiliates or partners.
We also collect Aggregate Information about Site usage from Our Customers.
This information includes the Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses
assigned to them, bandwidth utilization, and Internet resource requests (e.g.
requests to view a web page). We assure our Customers’ privacy because
We do not link IP addresses to PII.
Aggregate Information is used for network management, maintenance, performance
evaluation, security, and trend analysis, which aids Us in providing the best
possible service to Our Customers. We may also transfer the Aggregate Information
We collect in connection with the sale, merger, or transition of Our business
to a third-party.
We will not sell, rent or distribute your personally identifiable information
to any third party except when:
· You have been given an opportunity to "opt out" of sharing
the information and have declined to exercise that right within the time period
provided;
· We must share the information in order to provide a product or service
that you have requested, provided that such third party will not have the right
to use the personally identifiable information other than to fulfill such request;
or
· We are required to respond to subpoena, court orders or other legal
process requiring such disclosure.
Information Management
You have the ability to edit your PII and preferences by accessing the "Profile"
link on The Site’s home page. Here you may opt-in or out of receiving
unsolicited marketing material from Us. You also have the right to request deletion
of your PII, subject to Our need to keep appropriate archives for business purposes.
Such request can be made using the Contact Information provided below.
Information Retention
We maintain PII in our regular business records as long as you are a Customer
and possibly longer if necessary for our business purposes. Unless a court has
asked Us for access to this information, We will destroy it once it is no longer
necessary for Our business purposes.
Security
We secure the PII we maintain about you on computer servers in an appropriately
controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure,
and have in place appropriate policy guidelines to safeguard this information.
We also use encryption technology when collecting and storing sensitive information
such as passwords and other sensitive PII. Though We strive to minimize our
exposure to risks of system and network compromise, We cannot guarantee that
Our security measures will prevent third-party "hackers" from illegally
obtaining this information.
