You agree to be bound by any changes to the policies when you use the services after any such revision is posted. Please review the policies regularly, as it is your responsibility to abide by the current terms at all times.

Please note – the Sites are not directed to children, and children under the age of thirteen (13) may not use the Sites. If, in the future, we decide to direct our Sites or portions thereof to children under thirteen (13), we will do so in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (15 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.) including, without limitation, obtaining necessary parental consent.

Customer Proprietary Network Information
Customer proprietary network information” (“CPNI”) means (i) information that relates to the quantity, technical configuration, type, destination, location, and amount of use of a telecommunications service subscribed to by any customer of a telecommunications carrier, and that is made available to the carrier by the customer solely by virtue of the carrier-customer relationship; and (ii) information contained in the bills pertaining to telephone exchange service or telephone toll service received by a customer of a carrier.

Under federal law, you have the right to, and we have the duty to protect, the confidentiality of your CPNI. SEI Communications will not use your CPNI unless we first obtain your express written consent. For example, without such consent we will not use CPNI to market services not provided by SEI Communications, and will not share your CPNI with third parties.

There are situations, however, when we may use CPNI without your consent, in a manner consistent with applicable law, to: (i) initiate, render, bill, and collect for our services; (ii) market services among the categories of service to which you already subscribe; (iii) provide inside wiring installation, maintenance, and repair services; (iv) provide maintenance and technical support for our services; (v) protect our rights and property, and protect users of our services and other carriers from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of, or subscription to, these services; and (vi) provide any inbound telemarketing, referral, or administrative services for the duration of a customer-initiated call.

Further, after providing you with the required notice and opportunity to opt out, we may use your CPNI, in a manner consistent with applicable law, to market additional communications-related services to you and conduct surveys in order to improve our service offerings.

SEI Communications is committed to ensuring that only properly authorized individuals are able to access CPNI for legitimate purposes. This includes ensuring that any request by a customer to access CPNI is valid and properly authenticated, in accordance with applicable law and industry best practices. In general, our internal policies and procedures are designed to ensure that CPNI is not released to unauthorized individuals.

As a company, we are vigilant in our efforts to protect your CPNI. However, should we become aware that your CPNI has been accessed without proper authority, we will take swift action to fully document and address such unauthorized access and provide appropriate notice.

Types of Information We Collect
Whether you are communicating with SEI Communications or using a SEI Communications service, SEI Communications may collect two types of information: personally identifiable information (“PII”) and non-personal information. PII is information that is particular to you, such as your name, address, phone number and e-mail address. Non-personal information refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. This information includes websites visited, network traffic data, services and features used or call record details.

International Visitors
Our systems are based in the United States, where data protection and privacy regulations may be different than other parts of the world. If you create an account through the Sites or Services as a visitor from outside the United States, you will have agreed to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use and consented to the transfer to and processing of all your information in the United States, which may not offer an equivalent level of protection of that in the European Union or certain other countries.

How Information is Used
SEI Communications uses your information in connection with delivering its products and services to you. SEI Communications may also use the information supplied in order to personalize portions of your service. Some of these personalized services are made available directly by SEI Communications, while others may be offered by its content partners. In addition, SEI Communications analyzes and evaluates customer preferences, comments, and criticisms of its offerings in order to make improvements to the present and future versions of the individual service.

SEI Communications may use personal information it collects to provide you with information or products you have requested. In addition, we may use the non-personal information we collect to provide you with a better service experience in the future. SEI Communications does not rent, sell or trade your private information to any non-affiliated third party.

Sharing of Your Information
Unless you request otherwise, we may share certain information with our affiliated companies with whom we have established business relationships.

SEI Communications will never willfully disclose PII about its customers to a third party without first receiving that customer's permission unless SEI Communications believes in good faith that the law requires it, or to protect the rights or property of SEI Communications and other users of the Sites and our services.

In the case of a sale or other transfer of some or all of our operations, we may transfer your PII to the buyer or transferee as part of the transaction.

Protection of Your Information
SEI Communications takes reasonable precautions to protect your personal information against unauthorized access by requiring employees to use secured access authentication and passwords to obtain customer information and by storing electronic file information on a secure server, which is accessible only by authorized personnel. Our secure server software (SSL) is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions and encrypted messaging. If you submit PII to us, it encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.

If sending personal information via email through our site to a SEI Communications email address, please consider contacting us via phone, regular mail or stop by one of our convenient locations.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and we will not be held liable should a third party illegally obtain your personal information via Internet transmission. While we have made significant efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
