Customer Proprietary Network Information, or CPNI, is information the company gathers about its customers that, 1) relates to the quantity, technical configuration, type, destination and amount of use of telecommunications services subscribed to by its customers; 2) that is made available to the company solely by virtue of the carrier-customer relationship; and 3) information contained in the bills pertaining to telephone exchange service or telephone toll service. CPNI does not include subscriber list information that can be published in a directory. The company offers various communications-related services. In order to better serve your communication needs, from time to time we would like to share your CPNI across product lines within the company, or on a limited, as-needed basis with trusted agents and independent contractors that assist us in providing you with communication-related services. These parties share a duty to protect your CPNI. We will not sell your CPNI to third parties, or otherwise disclose your CPNI to third parties unless required to do so by operation of law. CPNI is subject to federal and certain state laws and regulations. The company is fully committed to complying with all applicable CPNI laws and regulations. You have the right to protection of your confidential information and the Company has a duty to protect it. If you prefer that we not use, disclose, or allow access to your CPNI to offer you our communications-related products and services to which you do not already subscribe, you may "opt-out." That is, you may direct us to not make these disclosures across additional product lines within the company. Your decision to opt-out will not affect the services to which you currently subscribe. 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. Your approval or denial of approval for the use of CPNI is valid until such time as your services are discontinued or you affirmatively revoke or limit such approval or denial.
