This Policy applies to Sceamdo Technologies’ services and its Web site, which are intended for users and customers. By purchasing, subscribing to, or using Sceamdo Technologies’ services or using Sceamdo Technologies’ Web site, you agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Policy.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect a variety of personally identifiable information about users of our services and visitors to our Web site in order to ensure an enjoyable user experience and seamless communications. When we use the term "personally identifiable information," we mean information that is directly associated with, or could be used to identify, a specific person. Such information includes a name, address, telephone number, e mail address, or information about activities directly linked to that person which would permit the physical or online contacting of that person.
Our definition of personally identifiable information does not include "aggregate information"—data we collect about a group or category of services or users or customers and from which individual user or customer identities have been removed. Aggregate data—for example, a report that indicates that a certain number of our customers reside in a particular state, region or country, or a report on how many of our customers visited particular pages of our Web site—aids us in understanding trends and customer needs so that we can better consider new services or tailor existing services to customer preferences.
Our definition of personally identifiable information also does not include your Internet protocol ("IP") address, unless you open your personal Web portal, in which case your IP address is linked to your personally identifiable information.
We collect the following types of personally identifiable information through use of our Web site and telephone calls to Sceamdo Technologies customer service: Information You Give Us: We collect information you give us—such as your name, billing address, telephone number, e-mail address, and/or credit card number—when you purchase or use a service, participate in a promotion, or save your personal information in the Preferences section of your personal Web portal.
Information We Collect Automatically: We automatically collect certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, when you visit Sceamdo Technologies Web site, our systems automatically provide us with your IP address and the type of web browser, which may be linked to personally identifiable information if you have opened your personal Web portal.
Information We Obtain from Other Sources: We may obtain information about you from outside sources and add it to, or combine it with, your personally identifiable information, including information such as: Credit information, which allows us to complete transactions for the purchase of Sceamdo Technologies services, and Commercially available demographic and marketing information from third parties, which aids us in serving you and informing you of services that may be of interest to you.
Sceamdo Technologies does not knowingly collect—either actively or passively—any information, including personal information as defined by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, from children under the age of 18.
To see how we use, disclose, and protect the personally identifiable information that we collect, please review the rest of this Policy.
2. OUR USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Our Internal Use: In general, we use personally identifiable information to serve our existing and prospective customers and to enhance and extend our customer relationships. By understanding how you use our services and our Web site, we are able to customize and personalize our interactions with you.
More specifically:
We use personally identifiable information for billing purposes, to provide services or complete transactions you have requested, to anticipate and resolve problems with your services, and to create and inform you of products or services from Sceamdo Technologies or others that better meet your needs.
Sceamdo Technologies uses e-mail, telemarketing, and direct mail to inform you about products or services we think will interest you. If you do not wish to receive these types of communications you can click here and complete a form to tell us of your preferences. While you may choose not to receive marketing information from us, you will continue to receive bills, customer service-related notifications, and other similar information from us electronically or otherwise. You will also continue to receive communications directly related to each service you purchase or subscribe to.
Our Customer Surveys: Periodically, you may be able to participate in our surveys to help us improve our services. Any personally identifiable information that we may collect from you in a survey will ONLY be used internally by Sceamdo Technologies.

Third-Party Use: To understand when and how Sceamdo Technologies may disclose personally identifiable information to unaffiliated third parties, please read the Disclosure of Your Personally Identifiable Information section below.
3. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Because information about our existing and prospective customers is one of our most important business assets, we seek to protect it and keep it confidential. We do not share personally identifiable information with unaffiliated third parties, nor do we sell it to third parties. We disclose personally identifiable information only as detailed below. Your Consent: Sceamdo Technologies will not disclose personally identifiable information other than in accordance with this Policy. In general, that means that you must consent to the disclosure in advance. Depending on the service, we may obtain your consent in a number of ways, including: In writing; Verbally; Online, by clicking on a link or button; or Through the use of a dialing string or buttons on a telephone handset.

When the unaffiliated third party acts solely on our behalf Sceamdo Technologies requires that party to follow our privacy practices. Sceamdo Technologies DOES NOT SELL TO THIRD PARTIES ITS CUSTOMER LISTS OR ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH ITS CUSTOMERS.
Business Transfers: Information about our users and customers, including personally identifiable information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, or sale of company assets.

As permitted by law, we may also disclose personally-identifiable location information without a user’s consent in an emergency situation involving risk of death or serious physical harm, such as to a user's legal guardian or members of a user’s immediate family or to database management services or information providers solely to assist in delivering emergency services.
Protection of Sceamdo Technologies and Others: We release personally identifiable information when we believe release is appropriate to do one of the following: Comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena); Enforce or apply our agreements to sell services to you; Bill and collect for services; or Protect our rights or property.
4. CUSTOMER PROPRIETARY NETWORK INFORMATION
In the normal course of providing services to its users and customers, Sceamdo Technologies collects and maintains certain customer proprietary network information ("CPNI"). Your CPNI includes the types of telecommunications and interconnected services you currently purchase or subscribe to, how you use those services (for example, your calling records), and billing information related to those services. Your Sceamdo Technologies number, name, and address do not constitute CPNI.
Sceamdo Technologies does not sell, trade, or otherwise share your CPNI with anyone outside of Sceamdo Technologies or with anyone who is not authorized to represent us to offer our services or to perform functions on our behalf except as the law may require or you may authorize.
Law generally permits us to use CPNI in our provision of the services you purchase or subscribe to, including billing and collections for those services. We are permitted to use or disclose CPNI to offer services of the same type that you already purchase from us. We may also use or disclose your CPNI for legal or regulatory reasons such as to respond to a court order, to investigate fraud, to protect our rights or property, to protect against the unlawful use of our services, or to protect other users.
If you choose to restrict access to your CPNI for our own marketing purposes, please contact us. By restricting our use of your CPNI, you will not affect our provision of any service, nor will you necessarily eliminate all types of Sceamdo Technologies marketing.
5. SECURITY AND DATA INTEGRITY
We maintain a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your personally identifiable information and CPNI. Specifically, we use commercially accepted procedures and systems to protect against unauthorized access to our systems. We restrict access to your personally identifiable information and CPNI to those employees and contractors—all of whom are covered by this Policy—who need to know that information to provide services to you or otherwise assist you. We protect the security of your personally identifiable information during transmission via the Sceamdo Technologies Web site by using Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") software, which encrypts information you input, so that no one else can read it as it is transmitted over the Internet. And we use an SSL connection to enable you to view, enter, and change the information in the Preferences section securely on our Web site.
You can take additional steps on your own to safeguard your personally identifiable information. For example, you should be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer. And you should always log out of any Web site, including the Sceamdo Technologies Web site, after viewing personal account information, and of our Web site. Please be advised that Sceamdo Technologies has no control over the security of other sites on the Internet you might visit, interact with, or from which you might buy products or services.
6. OUR USE OF "COOKIES"
Sceamdo Technologies uses "cookies" to enhance your use of our Web site. "Cookies" are small text files placed on your computer’s hard drive by a Web site when you visit that Web site. These files identify your computer and record your preferences and other data about your visit to a Web site so that when you return to that site, the site operator knows who you are and can personalize your visit. For example, cookies enable a Web site shopping cart to function so that you only have to check out once. Consequently, cookies are often tied to the use of personally identifiable information while using our Web site. If you choose not to accept the use of cookies, your use of our Web site may be impaired.
Cookies allow us to do the following:
Complete transactions you have requested; Collect information to determine which services and sections of our Web site are most and least popular; Personalize our Web site and make recommendations to you based on services you have used in the past; and Improve the ease of use of our Web site, sometimes in conjunction with Web beacons.
We do not use cookies to store credit card information. Sceamdo Technologies does, however, use cookies to store login information (including passwords) for customers who choose the option of storing such information on their computers.
We also use a session-based cookie to maintain continuity of navigation for you when viewing our Web site during a particular on-line session. After closing the browser, the session cookie simply terminates; it is not stored on your computer’s hard drive thereafter. In conjunction with Web beacons, Sceamdo Technologies may also use cookies, but these cookies are not linked to your personally identifiable information.
7. OUR USE OF WEB BEACONS
Sceamdo Technologies uses Web beacons on its Web site. A Web beacon (sometimes called a "Web bug" or "clear GIF") is a tiny graphic image (usually a 1-by-1 pixel) displayed in a Web page, Web-based document, or e-mail message, but it is usually invisible, as it is usually the same color as the background of the Web page, document, or e-mail message. When the user’s Web browser reads the HTML code for the Web beacon to retrieve the image, it can along pass along the IP address of the user’s computer, the time the Web beacon was viewed and for how long, and the type of browser used. Web beacons can also be linked to a user’s cookies and any personally identifiable information that may be stored in them.
Sceamdo Technologies uses Web beacons to gather aggregate information, as described above in Information We Collect. Sceamdo Technologies does not use Web beacons that link to cookies or to personally identifiable information on unaffiliated third-party Web sites. And it does not permit unaffiliated third parties to place such Web beacons in advertisements on Sceamdo Technologies’ Web site.
8. OUR USE OF BANNER ADS
We may use third-party advertising companies to place advertisements about Sceamdo Technologies products and services on other Web sites. These advertising companies may use cookies, Web beacons, or other technologies to measure the effectiveness of our ads. The advertising companies may use anonymous information about your visits to our and other Web sites in order to measure advertising effectiveness and offer selective ad content. But they use an anonymous identifier, such as a number, to identify you. They do NOT link to or collect any personally identifying information. The use of such cookies, Web beacons, and other technologies is subject to the advertising companies’ privacy policies, not the policy of Sceamdo Technologies.
9. CHECKING ACCOUNT AND INFORMATION FOR ACCURACY
You can review or change the information in the login section of our Web site, or by telephoning or writing to Customer Service. For Customer Service contact information, please see the Contact Us section on our Web site.
