FREEDOMSTARR Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) Policy

The information that we have relating to the (1) quantity, technical configuration, type, destination, location, and amount of Your use of telecommunications service, and (2) information contained on Your invoice concerning the telecommunications services that You receive is subject to additional privacy protections. That information, when matched to your name, address, and telephone number is known as "Customer Proprietary Network Information," CPNI. Examples of CPNI include information typically available from details on a customer's monthly telecommunications bill -- the type of line, technical characteristics, class of service, current telecommunications charges, long distance and local service billing records, directory assistance charges and usage, data and calling patterns. (CPNI does not include Your name, address, and telephone number, because that information is protected by the general privacy policy described above.)

As a subscriber to our telecommunications services, you have the right, and FreedomStarr has a duty, under federal law, to protect the confidentiality of CPNI. FreedomStarr offers many communications-related services, such as, for example, Internet services. From time to time we would like to use the CPNI information we have on file to provide you with information about our communications-related products and services or special promotions. Our use of CPNI may also enhance our ability to offer products and services tailored to your specific needs. We would like Your approval so that we, our agents, affiliates, joint venture partners, and independent contractors may use this CPNI to let You know about communications-related services other than those to which You currently subscribe that we believe may be of interest to You. You do have the right to restrict this use of CPNI. IF WE DO NOT HEAR FROM YOU WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THIS NOTIFICATION, WE WILL ASSUME THAT YOU APPROVE OUR USE OF YOUR CPNI FOR THE PURPOSES OF PROVIDING YOU WITH INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER COMMUNICATIONS-RELATED SERVICES. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISAPPROVE OUR USE OF YOUR CPNI, AND MAY DENY OR WITHDRAW OUR RIGHT TO USE YOUR CPNI AT ANY TIME BY CALLING THE TELEPHONE NUMBER REFLECTED ON YOUR MONTHLY BILLING STATEMENT. (We will also honor any restrictions applied by state law, to the extent applicable.)

FreedomStarr also offers various other services that are not related to the communications services to which you subscribe. Under CPNI rules, some of those services, such as FreedomStarr video services, are considered to be non-communications related services. Occasionally, You may be asked during a telephone call with one of our representatives for Your oral consent to FreedomStarr's use of Your CPNI for the purpose of providing You with an offer for products or services not related to the telecommunications services to which You subscribe. If You provide Your oral consent for FreedomStarr to do so, FreedomStarr may use Your CPNI for the duration of such telephone call in order to offer You additional services.

Any action that you take to deny or restrict approval to use Your CPNI will not affect our provision to you, now or in the future, of any service to which you subscribe. You may disregard this notice if you previously contacted us in response to a CPNI Notification and denied use of Your CPNI for the purposes described above. Any denial of approval for use of Your CPNI outside of the service to which you already subscribe is valid until such time as your telecommunications services are discontinued or You affirmatively revoke or limit such approval or denial.

The CPNI Policy above may be required by law to apply to Voice over Internet Protocol, or, IP voice services.
