Fonex Inc. limits the information collected about you to what is needed for conducting business, including the offering of products and services that might be of interest to you. You may choose to provide “personally identifiable information” (PERSONAL INFORMATION) to Fonex Inc. in a number of ways either in person, telephonically or via our websites or mobile apps. Examples of how you may share PERSONAL INFORMATION with us include: ordering a service or equipment from us, sending us e-mail, responding to Fonex Inc. surveys, entering Fonex Inc.-sponsored contests or sweepstakes, registering to receive news or public information or applying for a job. We may also obtain PERSONAL INFORMATION from third parties (for example, credit agencies) with your permission.

Examples of PERSONAL INFORMATION are:

Name (including company name for business customers)

Unlisted or restricted mailing address

Unlisted or restricted telephone number

E-mail address

Credit card number or financial/bank account number or information, including routing numbers

Passwords or personal identification codes (PINs)

Date of birth

Social Security number

Driver’s license number or government issued identification number

Company contact information for business customers

Information obtained by Fonex Inc. through customer referral programs

The following information is not PERSONAL INFORMATION:

Mailing address, unless unlisted or restricted at your request

Telephone number, unless unlisted or restricted at your request

IP Address allowing you to use our internet service

Fonex Inc. may compile or aggregate PERSONAL INFORMATION from numerous customers or Web visitors or mobile app users to collect data about groups of customers or potential customers or categories of service. Fonex Inc. does not consider this “aggregate” information as PERSONAL INFORMATION because the aggregate information does not contain the PERSONAL INFORMATION of any individual customer, Web visitor, or mobile app user.

  1. Use of Personally Identifiable Information

Fonex Inc. uses PERSONAL INFORMATION to provide products and services to meet customers' needs, including new products or services. Fonex Inc. may share PERSONAL INFORMATION with any Fonex Inc.-affiliated company, and these companies are subject to the terms of this Statement.

Fonex Inc. retains PERSONAL INFORMATION only as long as is necessary for Fonex Inc. to comply with business, tax and legal requirements. This retention period could be the entire time you are our customer depending on the type of PERSONAL INFORMATION.

Fonex Inc. does not:

Sell any customer data, whether it be defined as PERSONAL INFORMATION or otherwise, to third parties.

Collect PERSONAL INFORMATION from you unless you provide it to us in person, telephonically or electronically by visiting our websites or using our mobile apps, including information you provide in order to use our services.

Sell the names and addresses of Fonex Inc. Web visitors or mobile app users to unaffiliated suppliers, without your prior approval.

Allow third parties to change your service provider or otherwise access your account information, at your request, without complying with our security policies, including our Customer Account Protection Plan that protects your account from changes not authorized by you.

Information about our customers and users, including PERSONAL INFORMATION, may be shared and transferred as part of any merger, acquisition, sale of company assets or transition of service to another provider. This also applies in the unlikely event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership in which customer and user records would be transferred to another entity as a result of such a proceeding.

  1. SMS/Text Messaging

If you create an account and provide your cellular telephone number, Fonex Inc. may send you administrative text messages. If you opt in to receive promotional/marketing text messages, Fonex Inc. may also send you promotional/marketing text messages. If you wish to opt out of any type of text messaging sent to you by Fonex Inc., you may do so by following the “opt-out" instructions in the text message, or by editing your account settings.

  1. Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI)

CPNI is information that relates to the quantity, technical configuration, type, destination, location and amount of use of the telecommunications services purchased by you from Fonex Inc. CPNI is available to Fonex Inc. solely through its relationship with you and information contained in your bill for telecommunication services. CPNI does not include information that is typically classified as PERSONAL INFORMATION, such as your name or e-mail address and does not include compiled or aggregated PERSONAL INFORMATION. U.S. federal law requires Fonex Inc. to protect the confidentiality of CPNI. Unless you opt-out from the use of CPNI, Fonex Inc. may use CPNI to market service offerings to you to which you do not already subscribe. To opt-out, just contact us. Fonex Inc. may, without prior approval from you, use CPNI to provide or market service offerings to you, if the service offerings are within the same categories of service to which you already subscribe, regardless of your CPNI selection.

If you order Fonex Inc. services from a Fonex Inc. dealer, Fonex Inc.’s dealers are prohibited from accessing or using your CPNI unless you sign a consent form authorizing Fonex Inc. to release your CPNI to the dealers. Dealers are required by Fonex Inc. to take all necessary measures to protect the confidentiality of your CPNI. As part of the dealers’ agreements with Fonex Inc., dealers agree that, upon termination of your Fonex Inc. services, the dealers will promptly return all of your CPNI to Fonex Inc. and will not retain any CPNI in any form.

  1. Value-Added Services

Because we appreciate the trust you have placed in us, we continually look for ways to enhance your customer experience. From time to time, we may notify you about a Fonex Inc. product or service using the information you have provided to us either in person, telephonically or electronically by visiting our websites or using our mobile apps, including information you provide to use our services. We strive to limit our offers to those we think you would benefit from and appreciate receiving. We want every contact you have with us to be a positive experience. If you prefer not to receive these Fonex Inc. value-added services, offers and opportunities, just contact us.

Fonex Inc. complies with all applicable laws and regulations regarding “Do Not Call” Lists. Generally, Fonex Inc. is allowed to contact its customers, even if the customers are registered with federal or state Do Not Call Lists, because of our relationship with you. Fonex Inc. will, of course, honor any request to remove your name from our telephone, mail or e-mail solicitation lists and will delete your information from existing files within a reasonable time period.

  1. Security Measures

Fonex Inc. wants you to use our services with confidence, and therefore we use a number of security techniques designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, including firewalls and access control procedures. Fonex Inc. has physical, electronic, contractual, and managerial security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of information under our control.

  1. Children

Children under the age of majority should consult with their parents or guardian before furnishing any data to us. Parents should consider using one of a number of available parental control tools that provide a child-friendly, on-line environment and can prevent children from disclosing PERSONAL INFORMATION without parental consent. If a child has provided personal information without the consent of a parent or guardian, that parent or guardian should contact us to request that the information be deleted from our records. More information about parental controls may be found on Fonex Inc. websites or by contacting a Fonex Inc. customer care representative.

Fonex Inc. does not knowingly collect PERSONAL INFORMATION from children under the age of 13 in connection with providing products and services, and it strives to comply with all provisions of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
