Personal Information

Personal Information is the information Customer provides to ETB Internet Partners LLC voluntarily or passively through Customer use of the Service and/or website, and which is directly associated with or reasonably linked to a specific person, computer or device. For example, through the registration process, when the equipment to provide the Service is installed, maintained or upgraded at Customer’s premises, when Customer contacts ETB Internet Partners LLC regarding the Service, and through Customer account settings, ETB Internet Partners LLC collects Personal Information such as Customer name, email address, phone number, billing address and billing information (such as credit card account number or other financial account information), service address, and the nature of any of Customer devices or other property making use of the Service. Customer may be required to provide certain Personal Information to ETB Internet Partners LLC in order to register with ETB Internet Partners LLC, to assist ETB Internet Partners LLC in improving Customer’s Service or troubleshooting problems Customer is experiencing with the Service, Customer computer or device, or otherwise to improve the quality of the Service.

ETB Internet Partners LLC may also combine Customer Personal Information with additional Personal Information obtained from ETB Internet Partners LLC Facebook Pages or other social network platforms, its Affiliates, its Operational Service Providers (third-party-owned companies that provide or perform services on ETB Internet Partners LLC’s behalf, to help serve. “ETB Internet Partners LLC will access or collect the following customer data (Name, email address, location, user’s phone, contact book data, user’s inventory of installed apps, and user’s screen recording.)

Customer can change the preferences on Customer’s browser or device to prevent or limit Customer’s device’s acceptance of cookies, web beacons or other similar technology, but this may prevent Customer from taking advantage of some of the features on the ETB Internet Partners LLC website or accessing certain functions and conveniences. If Customer clicks on a link to a third-party website or service, such third party may also transmit cookies to Customer.

ETB Internet Partners LLC also uses Personal Information and Non-Personal Information to enhance the ETB Internet Partners LLC website and ETB Internet Partners LLC Service offerings. For example, such information can tell ETB Internet Partners LLC how often visitors use a particular feature of the ETB Internet Partners LLC website and which products, and services are most interesting to current and potential customers, and ETB Internet Partners LLC can use that knowledge to make the website useful and interesting to as many users as possible and to enhance and refine ETB Internet Partners LLC’s Service offerings. ETB Internet Partners LLC will continue to conduct analytics on ETB Internet Partners LLC website performance; Customer may not opt-out of this use of cookies or other Personal Information or Non-Personal Information.

Technology is improving every day and to improve ETB Internet Partners LLC’s Services’ operation and function ETB Internet Partners LLC may introduce new technologies and monitoring techniques without advance notice or consent from Customer. ETB Internet Partners LLC may also use third party providers to conduct such internal analyses.

Network Information

ETB Internet Partners LLC also collects Network Information, information about Customer access to, and use of, the ETB Internet Partners LLC network, which may or may not be directly associated with or reasonably linked to a specific person, computer, or device. For example, ETB Internet Partners LLC may collect information about the performance of the Provider Equipment installed on Customer property or at Customer premises, when Customer is using the Service, the various devices Customer is using to access the Service, the amount of data Customer is transmitting and receiving, the content of the data Customer are transmitting and receiving, the websites Customer is visiting, and any other information that is transmitted over the ETB Internet Partners LLC network. ETB Internet Partners LLC may also aggregate Network Information from multiple subscribers and ETB Internet Partners LLC will share such aggregated non-Personal information about the overall performance of the ETB Internet Partners LLC Service and network with Our Affiliates and other third parties. Aggregated information does not identify a specific individual, computer, or device.

We use Network Information to monitor and enhance the performance of the ETB Internet Partners LLC network.

·        The amount of data Customer is transmitting and receiving through the Service; and

·        General information regarding the performance of the Provider Equipment installed on Customer’s property or at Customer’s premises, and its interaction with the rest of ETB Internet Partners LLC’s network.

However, ETB Internet Partners LLC reserves the right to, and may, monitor, access, review and preserve any Network Information and/or content in the following situations:

·        In response to an inquiry from Customer or another Authorized User on Customer’s account regarding Customer or their use of the Service or problems Customer or they are experiencing using the Service;

·        If ETB Internet Partners LLC has reason to believe Customer is using the Service in violation of Customer’s Service Agreement or any applicable statutes, rules, ordinances or regulations;

·        When ETB Internet Partners LLC is required by law or legal process to do so, or when ETB Internet Partners LLC a good faith belief that ETB Internet Partners LLC is required by law or legal process to do so.

How is Personal Information used for marketing and advertising purposes?

ETB Internet Partners LLC will use Personal Information to send Customer marketing and advertising messages related to ETB Internet Partners LLC’s Service and website using Customer’s email address, postal address, or telephone number (for voice, texts, and pre-recorded calls). ETB Internet Partners LLC may deliver a marketing or advertising message based on Customer visits to ETB Internet Partners LLC website, which will be general advertising or “Contextual Advertising,” which is advertising based on the subject matter or the content of the specific website page or subject matter. ETB Internet Partners LLC may also send Customer “First Party Advertising,” which is advertising that is customized or personalized based on a history of Customer’s use of our Services (possibly combined with information from our Facebook page or other social network platforms). First Party Advertising is based solely on a combination of information ETB Internet Partners LLC collects from Customer – not from Customer’s visits to other websites across the Internet.

Customer may opt-out of First Party Advertising but not Contextual Advertising. No Personal Information is used to deliver Contextual Advertising; it automatically will appear based on the content or webpage Customer is viewing. And Customer may continue to receive general advertising if Customer opts-out of First Party Advertising, it will not be customized or personalized for Customer.

ETB Internet Partners LLC does not provide third party “Network Advertising,” which is advertising based on Customer’s overall Internet usage across different third-party websites or online services. Multiple third-party websites and online services are involved in this tailored or personalized advertising process, in essence a “network” of advertising providers.

Because ETB Internet Partners LLC does not provide network ads, ETB Internet Partners LLC does not recognize the “Do Not Track” settings on various Internet browsers. ETB Internet Partners LLC does not engage or allow third parties to track you across the Internet and across time for advertising purposes.

What third party disclosure choices do Customers have?

Customer can always choose not to disclose Personal Information to ETB Internet Partners LLC; however, certain Personal Information is necessary for ETB Internet Partners LLC to provide the Service to Customer.
