It is Tierzero’s policy to collect only the personally identifiable information (information that identifies you individually) that is needed to provide the Services with the quality you desire and deserve.
Customers – If you are a customer of Tierzero, personally identifiable information may include your name, address, age, telephone numbers, account number, social security number, user IDs, passwords, email addresses, and other information as provided to Tierzero online or as a customer of Tierzero. Tierzero’s policy is to retain such information only as long as needed for business purposes or as the law may require. Tierzero takes reasonable steps to protect your account information from unauthorized access.
Website Visitors – When you access Tierzero’s website, access log information about your visit is automatically collected, including information such as the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses assigned (numbers assigned to your computer while online), bandwidth used, system and connection performance, browsers used, dates and times of access, and Internet resource requests, including requests to access web pages. Tierzero does not store emails sent and received unless left in a Tierzero account file. As explained below, Tierzero could be required by court order to disclose such information if left on its system.
Online Registrants – In visiting the Tierzero website, registration with Tierzero or participation in a contest, survey or online transaction may require certain personally identifiable information. When asking you for such information, you will be informed of how it will be used and you may elect not to participate.
Cookies – Tierzero, or a vendor that places advertising on Tierzero websites, may use “cookies” to collect information about your visit to the website and to manage information concerning your preferences. A “cookie” is a small computer code added to a file on your computer as a record of its visit. It does not collect or provide your name or any other personal information about you. It can, however, be used by the website that placed it to note information about your visit, such as your type of web browser, operating system and Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, to better tailor the site for you. It can also be used to recognize you when you log in as a registered user or as a repeat visitor returning to Tierzero’s website. This allows Tierzero to tailor its site by remembering you and any options you select. Tierzero may share non-personal information obtained from the varying kinds of cookies and web beacons (see below) with vendors, advertisers and others. You can control what cookies are accepted by your computer through the settings on your web browser or by deleting them from your files. Doing so, however, may limit the personalization available to you.
Third Party Cookies and Web Beacons – These forms of computer code are sometimes placed by advertisers or others with connection to a web page and may be read by the advertisement’s provider. They may use a form of code called a “web beacon” or “clear GIF.” These are usually contained in a transparent image on a page or in an image on an email message and serve as a way to gather information about your visit, such as your Internet Protocol Address and information or statistics about your visit. As with cookies, you can use your browser settings to control web beacons.
Advertisers and other Websites – Tierzero does not control the privacy policies of advertisers or of websites you may link to from Tierzero’s websites or by using its services. You should review their websites for questions about their Internet security and privacy.
Use and Sharing Use Policy – Tierzero considers any personally identifiable information received about you to be confidential, and it is Tierzero’s policy to use it only in providing its websites and internet services – from sales and installation, to operations, administration, advertising, marketing, support, network provision, maintenance, communications with you, billing, collection and in other ways related to its services. Tierzero may also use such information in dealing with fraud and unauthorized use of its services. Tierzero may associate personal account information with data from third parties about you or similar persons to better predict your product and service preferences for use in programming, advertising transactions and to market its services to you.
Aggregate Information – Tierzero uses aggregate information about its customers and website visitors for a variety of purposes. Such aggregate information does not identify individual customers. Tierzero may share such aggregate and related demographic information with third parties.
Retention Policy – Tierzero may retain personal customer information in its regular business records as long as someone is a customer or until no longer needed for business or legal purposes. Tierzero’s security measures for this information are discussed below.
Sharing Policy – Tierzero’s overall policy is not to disclose to others outside of Tierzero and its affiliates, vendors and business partners any personally identifiable information about its customers without their prior written or electronic consent. Tierzero does not sell or provide your personal information to parties unconnected with the services we provide without your permission.
Special Exceptions – Tierzero reserves the right to disclose personally identifiable information in its possession if Tierzero has a good faith belief that it is necessary to: (1) comply with the law or legal process served on us; (2) protect and defend its rights or property or those of others; (3) respond to fraud, abuse or unauthorized reception; (4) enforce this Policy, other policies, or related standards; or (5) act in an emergency to protect your safety or that of another. Tierzero may also share information if Tierzero sells or transfers all or a portion of the business operations, merge or combine with another organization.
Third Parties – Tierzero sometimes uses affiliates, vendors or third party partners in association with the provision of its Services and may provide personally identifiable information about users for such purposes. In providing such information, Tierzero requires that the outside party maintain at least the same level of confidentiality that is maintained by Tierzero for such information. In addition, any use by the vendor or third party may not exceed that needed to provide its Services.
Internet Communications – Unless addressed to Tierzero, email messages, instant messages, online chats, or the content of other online communications that reside on or pass through its Service are not read. Tierzero may however, retain and provide such communications if legally required to do so. Incoming and outgoing email messages are generally scanned electronically to identify and filter out likely spam and for viruses and related problems that could harm your equipment, the network or other users.
Law Enforcement Legal Requirements – As a provider of Internet communications services, Tierzero may receive legal requests for customer information from government and law enforcement personnel. Tierzero may also receive discovery requests in civil litigation. In all such cases, Tierzero’s policy is to cooperate as required by law, but to provide only such information as the law requires. This information is generally sought by subpoena served on Tierzero. Under current law, many criminal subpoenas require that Tierzero not disclose or notify you of the request. Tierzero disclaims any duty to notify you of receipt of any legal requests.
Copyright Infringement Claim Procedure – If you believe that specific content on the Tierzero network infringes upon your copyrighted materials, please provide Tierzero with the following information: an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest; a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed; a description of where the allegedly infringing material is located on the Website, including the url’s of the particular web pages; your address, telephone number, and email address; a written statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use on the Website is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing information is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
