Systems Solutions is
committed to protecting your privacy. Please read this privacy policy
statement carefully so that you understand what kind of information we may
gather about you, how we may use that information, whether we may disclose
it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of the information
and your ability to correct the information. We will not trade, sell, or
disclose to any third party any form of personally identifiable information
without your consent, including information derived from registration,
subscription, and use of the Systems Solutions service, except as stated
below. This policy applies only to Systems Solutions, and not to other
companies’ or organizations’ Web sites to which we link. The
Information We Collect
The information Systems Solutions gathers generally falls into four
general categories: (1) personal, business, and demographic information you
supply that we use primarily for evaluating applicants and conducting market
research; (2) information you supply when you register or initiate
transactions; (3) tracking information gathered as you navigate online; (4)
information required to enable your use of certain applications. Some of
this information identifies a particular person, but much of it does not.
Third-party providers, whose sites are featured on and accessed via our
site, or third party manufacturers of devices that can be used by you on our
network, may gather information as well.
When you interact with Systems Solutions, when applying for Service, for
example, we may request some or all of the following information:
Contact information (e.g., name, address, telephone number, and
e-mail address)
Credit card, debit card or check card and Systems Solutions
account number
Driver's license
Company name (for corporate accounts)
Household characteristics (e.g., number of children and number of
Internet users)
Technology employed (e.g., type of Internet access and
specifications for your computer)
Why We Collect This Information
We need this information to process your application or service order and
to conduct market research. If we have trouble processing your application
or order, we use the contact information you provide to get in touch with
you. We also use your contact information to provide you with Systems
Solutions updates or to assist you with your wireless broadband service and
to inform you of new products or services that may be of interest to you.
Use of Cookies
To help make our website more responsive to your needs, we use a standard
feature of browser software nicknamed "cookies." We use cookies to help us
tailor our website to your needs, to deliver a better, more personalized
service, and to remember certain choices you’ve made so you don’t have to
re-enter them. A cookie is a 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.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize Systems Solutions
pages, or register with Systems Solutions sites or services, a cookie helps
Systems Solutions recall your specific information on subsequent visits.
This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as
billing addresses, preferred email address, and so on. When you return to
Systems Solutions, the information you previously provided can be retrieved,
so you can easily use the Systems Solutions features that you customized.
We use two kinds of cookies: (i) temporary or "session"-based cookies
that contain certain information about a user’s or visitor’s use of our
website at a particular time and (ii) "persistent" cookies that contain
certain account-related information about a registered user’s use of our
website. Session-based cookies are automatically disabled or deleted when a
user of or visitor to our website closes his or her browser software at the
end of session. Persistent cookies remain stored on a registered user’s
computer system until he or she disables or deletes them. Of course, if you
set your browser not to accept cookies or you delete them, you may not be
able to take advantage of the personalized features enjoyed by other
visitors to and users of our website.
Information Collected by Third Parties
Of course, our site includes links to other web sites, and provides
access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy
policies we don't control. In addition, some manufacturers of devices that
can be used on our network (whether co-branded with the Systems Solutions
brand name or not) may include in such devices software to monitor device
usage and performance, and an embedded web browser that can be remotely
activated by the manufacturer without your knowledge. Such browsers are
typically used by the manufacturer to remotely connect to devices in order
to send software updates or gather device performance data such as, for
example, session duration, or volume of bytes downloaded and uploaded. In
some instances manufacturers may share with Systems Solutions some or all of
the information they collect (in which case the shared information will be
subject to Systems Solutions’ privacy policy), however Systems Solutions
does not control how those manufacturers may use information they collect
and you should check your device manufacturer’s privacy policy. When you (a)
access another web site, purchase products or services or conduct other
transactions through a Web site linked to our web site, or (b) use a device
in which the manufacturer has embedded monitoring software and a web
browser, use of any information you provide or which is otherwise gathered
by such manufacturers is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of
the site you're visiting, the provider of such products or services, or the
manufacturer of the device, as applicable. The provider's or manufacturer’s
privacy practices may differ from ours, and we are not responsible for their
actions. Please be aware that these third-party sites or manufacturers may
also use their own cookies, web beacons or third-party software or "spyware",
for which we are also not responsible.
Disclosure of Information
We consider the personal information contained in our business records to
be confidential. Systems Solutions will not read, listen to or disclose to
any third parties private e-mail, conversations, or other communications,
except as described here, that are transmitted using our services. We may
sometimes disclose information about you to our business partners or to
others who work for us. We may access and/or disclose your personal
information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that
such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply
with legal process served on Systems Solutions; (b) protect and defend the
rights or property of Systems Solutions including, without limitation the
security and integrity of our network; or (c) act under exigent
circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of our services or
members of the public.
As our business grows, we may buy or sell various assets. In the unlikely
event that Systems Solutions, one of its business units, or substantially
all of its assets are acquired by another company, information about our
visitors would be among the transferred assets.
Security
Systems Solutions is committed to protecting the security of your
personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and
procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized
access, use or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information
you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in
controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information
(such as a credit card number) over the Internet, we protect it through the
use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. As
effective as modern security practices are, no physical or electronic
security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the complete security
of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won't be
intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. We have
implemented strict internal guidelines to ensure that your privacy is
safeguarded at every level of our organization. Systems Solutions will
continue to revise policies and implement additional security features as
new technologies become available.
Location Information
To make wireless communications possible, Systems Solutions’s network
knows the general location of your wireless device whenever it is turned on.
Your wireless device sends out a periodic signal to the nearest radio
tower/cell site so that our network will know where to route an incoming
communication and how to properly bill for the service. This is necessary to
make wireless communications possible.
We offer wireless location-based applications that use your wireless
network location to provide the service you request. For example, you may
choose to use a service that provides maps or search results using your
current location. Certain applications may also determine your location
based on WiFi access points that you are in range of.
Your location information will only be used to provide the service(s) or
carry out the transaction(s) you have requested or authorized. Systems
Solutions does not and will not track your location, and any request you
make to determine your location will not not paired with any information
that identifies you personally.
It is important to note, if you let others use location-based services to
which you've subscribed (or if you let others use your wireless device), it
is your responsibility to inform that user that his or her location may be
tracked.
Your wireless Internet service may also be personalized using your zip
code or other location identifiers that you provided, such as an address. We
use this information to serve you relevant content, and we treat the
information like any other personal information under this policy.
The law permits us to disclose the call location of a device on our
network without a user's consent (1) to a user's legal guardian or members
of a user's immediate family in an emergency situation that involves the
risk of death or serious physical harm, (2) to database management services
or information providers solely to assist in delivering emergency services,
(3) if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of
death or serious physical injury to any person requires or justifies
disclosure of a device's location on the network without delay, and (4) in
"aggregate" form. Aggregate data is collective data that relates to a group
or category of services or customers, from which individual customer
identities and characteristics have been removed.
Systems Solutions and Kids
Systems Solutions takes care to protect the safety and privacy of young
people using our services, and encourages you to participate in your child's
experience in cyberspace. We do not sell products or services to kids. Also,
we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from
children and teenagers under the age of 18 and Systems Solutions does not
wish to collect any such information.
Parents, please note that if you grant consent for your child to use our
services, your child will be able to communicate with other users of all
ages. Before providing consent, please be aware that your child will be able
to disclose personal information (e.g. name, address, e-mail, phone numbers)
on his or her own. We encourage you to talk with your children about
communicating with strangers and disclosing personal information online. You
can obtain additional information about safe surfing through the
Federal Trade Commission web site.
Federal law requires website operators who collect personal information
from children under the age of thirteen to first get parental consent.
Systems Solutions will not knowingly link to any third party web site that
solicits or collects personally identifiable information from minors.
Systems Solutions Spam Policy
Systems Solutions will deal with Spam complaints seriously and will close
spammer’s customer accounts. We may use customer information to investigate
and prevent potentially unlawful activity that threatens the service or
network integrity or otherwise violates the service agreement.
What Is Spam?
Spam is email that is sent against the wishes of the recipient. There are
two kinds. The first kind of spam concerns individuals who email people that
they don't know personally. The second type of spam is sent by organizations
to individuals who have not expressed a desire to receive such
communications. Both kinds of spam are inappropriate.
Enforcement of this Privacy Statement
If you have questions regarding this statement, you should contact
Systems Solutions.
Privacy Policy Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might
use that information and whether we will disclose it to anyone. By
continuing to use Systems Solutions after we post any changes, you accept
and agree to this privacy statement, as modified. Of course, our use of
information gathered while the current privacy statement is in effect will
be consistent with the current statement, even if we change that statement
later.
