PRIVACY POLICY
At UtilityPhone.com we respect your right to privacy and we understand
that, as a visitor to our website, you prefer to control your own
personal information preferences. For this reason, we may ask you
to register or provide personal information and preferences when
you visit certain areas of our website, download free software,
request information, register for events, register new products
or subscribe to company newsletters.
We will guard the personal information you share with us to ensure
the content and services we provide on our website are always tailored
to your current, designated preferences. Your privacy is extremely
important to us, and your information is kept strictly confidential
and will never be given to anyone outside our company.
UtilityPhone.com respects the rights users give us when opting to receive
e-mail or other forms of communication and enforces internal policies
to preserve those rights. It is our objective to retain the long-term
ability to continue to communicate with our customers and interested
parties.
If you do not want UtilityPhone.com or UtilityPhone.com representatives to contact
you, you may “opt-out” of this preference at any time, whether you’re
online or contacting UtilityPhone.com directly. As an option, you’ll always
have the flexibility to opt back in at anytime based on previous
information or newly updated information.
Collecting other personal information
When you browse our websites, you are able to do so anonymously.
Generally, we don’t collect personal information when you browse
— not even your email address. Your browser, however, does automatically
tell us the type of computer and operating system you are using.
Like most standard Web site servers our website uses log files and
cookies. A “cookie” is a small line of text that is stored with
your web browser for record-keeping purposes and helps UtilityPhone.com
provide better service to you. Your browser has an option to accept,
reject, or provide you with notice when a cookie is sent.
Once a user enters our websites, a cookie follows them through their
click stream path collecting information including internet protocol
(IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit
pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. This
information is used to analyze trends, administer the site, track
user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information
for aggregate use only. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
UtilityPhone.com uses the data collected from visitor cookies in aggregate
form only and does not tie to them any personally identifiable information.
Use of this information helps us better understand what users are
seeking and learning on our websites and helps us identify potential
navigation issues.
How we protect your personal information
UtilityPhone.com will always protect the personal information that you
share with us. UtilityPhone.com stores information internally in a controlled,
secure environment.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services
on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases,
sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will only
provide those companies the information they need to deliver the
service, and they are prohibited from using that information for
any other purpose.
If UtilityPhone.com requests general demographic information, this information
is limited to reporting purposes only; users remain anonymous. Phone
numbers, e-mail addresses, and postal addresses are never shared
for demographic reports with outside entities.
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need
to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we
have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply
with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process
served on our website, or as required by law.
How to update your personal information
You can help UtilityPhone.com maintain the accuracy of your personal information
by notifying us when you change your name, address, title, phone
number, e-mail address, or your content preferences. If at any time
you wish to update your information or preferences, or you prefer
to stop receiving communication from UtilityPhone.com, feel free to contact
us at any time.

Our companywide commitment to privacy
To make sure your personal information remains confidential, we
communicate these privacy guidelines to every UtilityPhone.com employee.
Links
Our websites may contain links to other websites. UtilityPhone.com assumes
no responsibility for the content or the privacy policies and practices
of such websites. UtilityPhone.com encourages you to read the privacy statements
of these linked sites; their privacy practices may differ from ours.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem
appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we
collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we
disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy
policy under which the information was collected.
If, however, we are going to use users’ personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated at the time of
collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice
as to whether or not we use their information in this different
manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with
the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not
be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this
new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our
privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored
in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Web site
notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice
we will also email users, who have opted to receive communications
from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
Business Transitions
In the event UtilityPhone.com goes through a business transition, such
as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion
of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances,
be part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified via a
prominent notice on our Web site for 30 days prior to a change of
ownership or control of their personal information. If as a result
of the business transition, the users’ personally identifiable information
will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time
of collection, they will be given choice consistent with our notification
of changes section.
