Quality Communications Privacy Policy
Quality Communications strives to be the leading provider of
Telecommunication services, and as such seeks to gain the full
trust and confidence of guests visiting its' website. Quality
Communications firmly believes in protecting the privacy of all
visitors to its' website, and desires to inform visitors via this
Privacy Policy what information will be collected, how it will be
used, and what choices visitors have regarding the collection and
use of this information.
Personal Information
Cookies
Like virtually all companies with an Internet presence, Quality
Communications uses "cookies" to both personalize your experience
on our sites and to collect anonymous usage statistics. A "cookie"
consists of a line of text with a random identifier that is
written to your browser by a web page server. A cookie cannot be
used to run programs on your computer or transfer viruses, and is
used solely to record traffic on our websites. Our use of cookies
in no way attempts to associate individual usage of our sites with
any personal identifying information. Rather, it is only intended
to make your visit more enjoyable by remembering your preferences,
and to allow us to improve our website by determining aggregate
characteristics. Some of this aggregate usage information may be
shared with our partners, but such information will not contain
any personally identifying data, except as set forth in this
Privacy Policy.
Some banner ads displayed on Quality Communications website may be
operated by outside services that may also place cookies on your
computer. Such operations are beyond the control of Quality
Communications. Nevertheless, we will not permit such services to
correlate information obtained from the use of such cookies with
any personal identifying information held by Quality
Communications.
You may disable the use of cookies within your browser; however,
such action may prevent you from maximizing utilization of our
website.
Registration
In
some areas of the site, you may be asked to provide us with
personal identifying information such as your name, contact
information and billing information. This information is necessary
as required to establish our business relationship. This
information will not be sold to any outside parties, and will only
be used to maintain our business relationship.
At
times, we may be required to share limited personal information
with third parties who are performing functions related to
maintaining your services. These third parties may use such
information only to complete such tasks, and the information that
they receive will be limited to the minimal amount of information
necessary to complete the task.
In
addition, we may choose to periodically provide you with
information about products or services that we believe will
enhance your online experience. Quality Communications Inc.,
however, will not share your personal contact information with any
outside parties for such solicitations. [You may contact those
outside parties directly should you desire additional information
about or to purchase the products or services that they offer.]
You may, of course, choose not to receive any solicitations by
opting out either when you first register for service with Quality
Communications, or at any later time as you may wish via the
account management services available on our website.
Minors
Quality Communications strongly urges parents to closely supervise
their children's use of the Internet. Quality Communications does
not knowingly gather information from those under 18 years of age.
Quality Communications recommends that children ask a parent or
guardian for permission before sending any personal information
over the internet to Quality Communications, or to anyone else.
Quality Communications encourage parents to further educate both
themselves and their children about proper online behavior.
Parental-control protections (such as computer hardware, software,
or filtering services) are commercially available that may assist
parents in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors.
However, Quality Communications makes no warranties or
representations as to the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of
any such parental control software or service. Many valuable
resources regarding this topic are available on the web, including
those at www.getnetwise.org.
Security
Personal information will be collected by
Quality Communications in a secure manner and will be protected by
detailed security measures to prevent its loss, misuse or
alteration. While we cannot guarantee that such information will
always be protected from external "hackers", we will make every
effort to ensure its integrity and security. Internal Quality
Communications access to personal information will be strictly
limited and only allowed when necessary to complete our business
processes.
Public Forums
You should be aware that information you knowingly provide in
public forums, such as on news groups, discussion boards or other
online services, can be seen by many individuals on the Internet,
and may be collected and used in ways that are not consistent with
Quality Communications policies. Such information is considered
public information and is not protected by our Privacy Policy.
Quality Communications urges you to exercise caution before
providing any information online.
Other Sites
Quality Communications would like to stress that other sites on
the Internet, including those that may have links from or to
Quality Communications websites, may not have privacy policies
consistent with ours. We strongly recommend that you examine each
site's privacy policy before providing any personal information.
Exceptions to this Policy
Although it is Quality Communications' policy not to share
personal information or usage information except as described
above, Quality Communications does reserve the right to disclose
this information at its sole discretion if we believe that such
actions are reasonable for any compelling reason, including but
not limited to:
Requirements of applicable laws and law enforcement agencies or
valid legal processes
Identification of violators of our acceptable use policy
Protection of Quality Communications or any of its guests
Personal Communications
Quality respects its guests' privacy and will not randomly monitor

believes that such action is necessary to:
Comply with applicable law, law enforcement agencies or valid
legal processes
Protect Quality Communications or any
of its guests
Changes

necessary. Whenever such a change occurs, it will be clearly
identified on our website, and of course any information gathered
