SPRINTtelco is owned and operated exclusively by SPRINTtelco, a publicly traded company headquartered in the United States, and is committed to protecting your privacy and security online. We take all the necessary steps to ensure a pleasant experience when you visit SPRINTtelco and use our services.

The following is our Privacy Policy. This notice describes how we use and share the information that we collect from you when you register for our services.

Registration/Information Collection

Before you begin to use our services, you will be asked to register to become a member. To complete the registration, you will need to give us some information about yourself including but not limited to your name, email address, zip code, and occupation. SPRINTtelco is collecting this information, stores it in a secure facility in the United States, and we retain ownership of it. If you are located outside the United States, please be aware that your information is being transferred from your country to the United States, and registration for our services constitutes affirmative consent to such a transfer.SPRINTtelco sends all credit card transactions for authorization and authentication. We use VeriSign as a third-party intermediary. Please consult VeriSign’s privacy policies in addition to this policy.

Use of Information

SPRINTtelco believes that knowing more about you will enable us to serve you better. It allows us to personalize the content and services we offer you. It also permits us to target advertising for products or services to your interests and tastes. SPRINTtelco uses this information internally to improve the products and services we provide to you.

We may also combine it with other information about you that is available to us internally or from other sources, and we may share it with third-party marketing partners to help us improve how we serve you and to alert you to new products, services and special offers. One of the many services SPRINTtelco can offer to you when you register is notification concerning new products and services available from SPRINTtelco or from third-party marketing partners.

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 Web site.
These notices and offers will be targeted to your individual preferences and tastes based on the information you have provided. In addition, we may use personal information to better design our Web Site and we may share it with advertisers.

These partners include companies that facilitate marketing offers, promotions, newsletters, etc. We will seek to obtain your consent at the place where the information is collected by an "opt-out" method. In other words, just “uncheck” the box on the registration form and we will not share your information with advertisers.
SPRINTtelco's site is protected by a firewall and other measures to safeguard your financial information and further ensure your privacy is kept intact. In addition, 128-bit SSL encryption through VeriSign protects sensitive information such as credit card numbers and any personally identifiable information.

Correcting/Updating Your Information

You may change your Personally Identifiable Information by going to http://www.SPRINTtelco.com and clicking the "Member Login" link. You must have both User ID and Password to log into your account; if you don't have both, you can choose to have them e-mailed to you. Once you are logged in, you can change your information by clicking the tab marked "My Account" and choosing what information you'd like to alter.

Notification of Changes

If we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify you via email. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different 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 website notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post the notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.

Communication

As a member of SPRINTtelco.com, besides special offers that you may receive from our partners, (if you opt to) you will receive a confirmation email with your UserID and password. You may also receive emails that help keep you informed of your account information.

Emails that involve current promotions as well as newsletters to help keep you informed of our latest development are also sent sporadically.

Opting Out

Please note, you may opt out of all promotional and informative emails as well as all emails from third parties or strategic partners at any time by sending an email to:
opt-out@SPRINTtelco.com

Include your email address in the subject.

You can also opt out from emails in two places during the signup process by simply checking off the opt-out boxes.

Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses

We may collect your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administrate our website. Your IP address is only used to identify you and form broad demographic information. This practice is common and even essential for most websites, as all companies find it necessary to assess their business online.

We collect log files pertaining to the amount of amount unique users, the length of a visit, pages visited, time and day of visit, file downloads and advertising views and clicks through WebSideStory, whose privacy policy can be found here.

All of this information is collected in aggregate and is used in aggregate and not specific to a user. We do monitor usage of our system through IP addresses in order to assist with the investigation and prevention of potentially unlawful activities that may threaten the integrity of service or otherwise violate our Terms of Use.

We maintain two types of web files using IP addresses and other information: (1) a web log file that monitors the usage of the site itself originating at individual IP addresses; and (2) a log of calling information, such as phone number. Actual phone conversations are not recorded by the service. SPRINTtelco will not read, listen to, or disclose to any third parties private e-mail, conversations, or other communications that are transmitted using SPRINTtelco services except as required to ensure proper operation of our services or as otherwise required by law.

Cookie

A cookie is a message given to a web browser by a web server to identify and prepare customized web pages for you. The Help menu on the menu bar of most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable cookies altogether. Although you can elect to not accept cookies, SPRINTtelco's products and services require the use of cookies. We use cookies to keep track of login/password information as well as your identifiable information to personalize the website as well as for resolving fraud issues pending discrepancies. If cookies are disabled, you cannot log in to SPRINTtelco.com.

We use a third-party advertising company to display the advertisements on our website. These advertisements may contain cookies. While we use cookies in other parts of our website, cookies received with banner advertisements are collected by our third-party advertising company. This information may be used by SPRINTtelco and our third-party advertising company to target advertisements to you in the future.

SPRINTtelco may also collect personally identifiable information from you in the event of a contest, sweepstakes, or other type of promotion.

Links and Special Relationships

Our site may include links to other websites on the Internet. However, please be advised that SPRINTtelco is not responsible for the privacy practice of such sites.

SPRINTtelco encourages you to read the privacy statements of these linked sites because their privacy practices may differ from ours.

It's also important to know that SPRINTtelco has several strategic partners that help us provide one or more of the services available through SPRINTtelco. Occasionally, we will share your account information with our partners if that is necessary in the development and/or improvement of our services, if you choose to opt-in to the sharing. On a case-by-case basis, if our partners have product information that may be of interest to you, we may allow them to use your information for the dissemination of product information, unless you instruct us otherwise by opting-out. SPRINTtelco uses pixels, or transparent GIF files, to help manage online advertising. These GIF files are provided by our various partners and providers. These files enable us to learn which advertisements bring users to our website. The information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address. For more information, contact Customer Care.

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

SPRINTtelco does not knowingly solicit or collect customer identifiable information from children or teenagers under the age of eighteen. You should be aware, however, that calling plans purchased for family use may be used by minors without the knowledge of SPRINTtelco. If that happens, any information collected from the usage will appear to be the personal information of the actual adult subscriber and treated as such under this Policy.

Business Transfers

As we continue to develop our business, we may buy or sell companies, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information is generally one of the transferred business assets, but remains subject to pre-existing Privacy Policies (unless the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the event that SPRINTtelco, Inc. or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred assets.
