Updated: July 15, 2009

1. Acknowledgement and Acceptance of Terms

The foregoing privacy policy relates to the Broadband Enterprises, Inc. ("BBE") web site (the “Site”). This Privacy Statement sets forth our current privacy practices with regard to the information we collect when you or your computer interacts with the Site. By accessing the Site, you acknowledge and fully understand BBE’s Privacy Statement and freely consent to the information collection and use practices described in this Site Privacy Statement.

2. Information We Collect and How We Use It

BBE collects certain information from and about its users on the Site in three ways: directly from Web Server logs, with Cookies and from users of the Site.

  • a. Web Server Logs
    When you visit the Site, we may track information to administer the Site and analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track include:

  •     • Your Internet protocol address.
  •     • The kind of browser or computer you use.
  •     • Number of links you click within the site.
  •     • State or country from which you accessed the site.
  •     • Date and time of your visit.
  •     • Name of your Internet service provider.
  •     • Web page you linked to our site from.
  •     • Pages you viewed on the site.
  • We may also use this information to provide services and information that you request, to provide new services on our Site, measure overall (not individual) activity, expand certain Site services, to contact you regarding this Site, to monitor or improve the Site and to monitor compliance with our Terms of Use. We may also utilize information for other reasons to be determined in our discretion. We do not provide or release names, e-mail addresses or postal addresses to any third party. However you need to be aware that certain state and federal laws may require that we report on any individual users activities on the Site.
  • b. Use of Cookies
  • BBE may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

    BBE reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but will not allow other companies to place cookies on the Site unless we believe there is a temporary, overriding customer value.

    You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our Website.

  • c. Personal Information Users
  • Visitors to the Site can request information from BBE and/or contact BBE through email. When you contact us and/or request information register, we will collect your email address and any other information you choose to provide to BBE in your email communications. The types of personal information that is typically provided to us includes a name, address, email address, telephone number and/or facsimile number.

    We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:

  •     • To fulfill your requests for services and products.
  •     • To protect ourselves from liability,
  •     • To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
  •     • In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.
  •     • For other uses that we disclose when you provide your personal information to us.

    • 3. Use of Web Beacons or GIF Files

    The Site’s Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow BBE to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. BBE may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.

    Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. BBE prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.

    4. Changes to this Statement

    BBE has the discretion to update this privacy statement at any time. When we do, we will also revise the “updated” date at the top of this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your continued use of the Site constitutes your agreement to this privacy statement and any updates.
