Online Privacy Policy

This web site ("Site") is operated by Broadwing Communications, LLC ("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.
