This web site ("Site") is operated by Broadwing Corporation ("Broadwing," "We" or "Us"), which
is committed to respecting the privacy rights of guests and users
of this Site. While visiting the Site, We may ask You ("You" or "Your")
to provide information that personally identifies You and/or the company/business
You work for ("Personal Information") for purposes of interacting
with the Site.
We will take reasonable measures to ensure that the Personal Information You
submit to Us remains private, and is used only for the purposes as set forth
herein. To further the protection of Your Personal Information, Broadwing has
adopted a set of information management guidelines (outlined below) to describe
the Personal Information We collect about You, why We collect it, how We use
it and when We share it with third parties.
This Privacy Policy has been developed with the recognition that Internet technologies
are rapidly evolving, and that underlying business models are still not established.
Accordingly, this Privacy Policy is subject, in our sole discretion, to change
without prior notice. Any such changes will be posted on this page. Please see
the Effective Date stated at the conclusion of this Policy.
What kind of information does Broadwing collect from visitors?
We only collect Personal Information that You submit to Us, including but not
limited to personal data (i.e., Your name, mailing address, and email address),
for example when You request further information. Additionally, We may also collect
aggregate information regarding users of the Site.
What are Cookies?
There is a technology called "cookies" which can be used
to provide You with tailored information from
a web site. A cookie is an
element of
data that a web site can send to Your browser, which may then be stored
on Your
computer system. This element of data is a piece of text, not a program.
We can only access
the information from a cookie sent by the web site. We cannot access
other cookies sent by other web sites or the information contained therein.
Additionally,
We
cannot learn Your email address or any other information about You through
the use of a cookie. The only way We would learn such information is
if You specifically
submit that information to Us.
Use of Personal Information
This is how we will handle information we learn about You from Your visit to
our website. The information we receive depends upon what You do when visiting
our Site. If You visit our Site to read or download information, we collect and
store only the following information about You: the name of the domain from which
You access the Internet (for example, aol.com, if You are connecting from an
America Online account); the date and time You access our Site; and the Internet
address of the web site from which You linked directly to our Site. We use the
information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections
of our Site, and to help us make our Site more useful to visitors.
You also may decide to send us Personal Information (i.e., personally-identifying
information), for example, in an electronic mail message or by voluntarily disclosing
that information, or by using our interactive features. We may use Personal Information
from You to respond to Your inquiries, for other internal business purposes,
or other purposes permitted under this Privacy Policy.
We may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable information with our business
partners and other third parties (i.e., the number of users who have visited
the Site on a specific day, etc.). Broadwing may also match aggregated user information
with third party data and disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe
our services to potential advertisers, partners and other third parties, and
for other lawful purposes. Additionally, in order to operate the Site or make
our Site more useful to visitors, We may provide, in our sole discretion, access
to Your Personal Information or non-personally-identifying information to our
third party service providers and consultants.
This Privacy Policy only addresses the use and dissemination of information that
We collect from You. To the extent that You disclose any information to third
parties, for example through other web sites on the Internet linked to the Site,
different policies may apply. Since Broadwing does not control the privacy policies
of any third party, You are subject to the privacy customs and policies, if any,
of that third party, and Broadwing shall not be responsible for the use or dissemination
of Your Personal Information by that third party. Therefore, We encourage You
to ask questions before You disclose Your Personal Information to others.
Children's Privacy
Broadwing does not specifically collect information about persons under the age
of thirteen (13). However, Broadwing is concerned about the safety of children
and their use of the Internet. Therefore, in accordance with the Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act of 1998, We will never knowingly request or solicit personally
identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable
parental consent. In the event that We receive actual knowledge that We have
collected such personal information without the requisite and verifiable parental
consent, We will delete that information from our database as quickly as is practical.
Our Policy Regarding Links and Other Web Sites
Our Site contains or may contain links to other web sites. We are not responsible
for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
