TVT Incorporated. ("TVT", "TeleViewTel") is
committed to your privacy. We obey all laws and
regulations in the United States applicable to our use
and disclosure of your information. Except as set forth
in this Privacy Policy, we will not trade, sell, or
disclose to any third party any form of PII (as defined
below) without your consent and we will not disclose or
make available any PII to any third parties seeking to
market third party products without your consent. We
have set forth this Privacy Policy to explain to you how
we collect and use information from our customers who
use services and products from TVT ("Customers") and
from visitors to our web sites and from potential
customers who have communicated, made contact or
interacted with TVT ("Visitors"), both in connection
with online and offline services and products offered by
TVT.
Collection of Information
TVT shall collect personally identifiable
information, including but not limited to name, physical
address, email address, telephone number, credit card
information and other personal information
(collectively, "PII"), from Customers when initiating
service and in connection with the provision or
marketing of products and services. TVT may collect PII
from Visitors in connection with any visit to our web
sites, any communication about our services and products
or other transactions or interactions with TVT.
TVT may also collect non-personally identifiable
information from Customers and Visitors regarding usage
of our services or our web site ("Non-PII"). Non-PII may
include web site pages viewed, time spent using certain
services, demographic data, cookies and other
information which does not specifically identify any one
individual.
"Cookies" are pieces of information that may be
placed on your computer by a web site for the purpose of
facilitating and enhancing your communication and
interaction with that web site. Many web sites use
cookies for these purposes. We may use cookies to
customize your visit to our web sites and for other
purposes to make your visit more convenient or to enable
us to enhance our service.
In addition to our cookies, we may also use (and our
third party advertisers may use) clear gifs, web beacons
and third party cookies to improve the performance of
our web sites, provide certain features such as
advertising or to anonymously track usage of our web
sites and track the online activity of users. In
addition, we may use such devices in our HTML-based
emails to track the usage of such emails in much the
same manner as usage of our web sites is tracked.
You may stop or restrict the placement of cookies on
your computer, including third party cookies, or flush
them from your browser by adjusting your web browser
preferences, in which case you may still use our web
site, but it may interfere with some of its
functionality.
Anti-Spyware Policy
TVT believes that Spyware is a threat to consumer
privacy and a consumer's experience online. Therefore,
we forbid any TVT employee, agent, partner, affiliate or
contractor from intentionally deploying or using Spyware
(as defined in this policy) on behalf of TVT. Spyware
refers to any executable software application that is
installed on a user's personal computer and covertly
gathers and transmits PII through the user's Internet
connection without the knowledge or consent of the user.
Cookies and web beacons are not considered Spyware.
Spyware may gather PII, such as e-mail addresses and
credit card information, and may even alter personal
computer settings. Intentional use of Spyware by any TVT
employee, agent, partner or affiliate on TVT's behalf
will not be tolerated and will be considered grounds for
dismissal, contract termination and/or loss of payment.
Use of Information
TVT will use PII (1) to market products and services
to Customers and Visitors that TVT believes may be of
interest to them, (2) to provide services and products
requested by Customers and Visitors and (3) to enable
its vendors and contractors to provide and assist TVT in
the marketing and provision of such services and
products to TVT, Customers or Visitors. However, we will
not share your credit card information with any third
parties unless they are involved in processing payments
for services that you have purchased from TVT. TVT only
works with partners whom we believe maintain high
standards with respect to privacy and consumer rights.
TVT may also use and disclose PII to investigate and
help prevent potentially unlawful activity or activities
that threaten the integrity of our service or network,
to investigate fraud or violations of our
Terms of Service, as required by courts or
administrative agencies or in connection with a sale,
merger or reorganization of TVT's business.
Non-PII may be shared with any number of third
parties by TVT.
CPNI
In the course of providing services to you, we
collect and maintain certain customer proprietary
network information ("CPNI"). CPNI includes the types of
services you currently purchase, related usage and
billing information for those services. Your telephone
number, name and address are not CPNI. We value our
relationships with our customers and are committed to
respecting and protecting your CPNI. Accordingly, we do
not sell, trade or share your CPNI, including your
calling records outside of TVT's family of companies or
with anyone not authorized to offer our products or
services, or to perform functions on our behalf except
as authorized by you or required by law. Generally, we
can use your CPNI to offer additional services to you,
and for billing and collections purposes. We can also
disclose your CPNI for legal or regulatory reasons,
including in response to subpoenas and court orders. We
can also use CPNI to investigate fraud and to prevent
violation of our Terms of Service and unlawful use of
our network, services and other customers.
Security
TVT has invested and deployed a wide variety of
technology and security features to make reasonable
efforts to ensure the privacy of information on its
network. In addition, TVT has implemented operations
guidelines to ensure Customer and Visitor privacy is
safeguarded at every level of its organization. TVT will
continue to revise policies and implement additional
security features as new technologies becomes available.
However, no system or service can give a 100% guaranty
of security, especially a service that relies upon the
public Internet. Therefore, you acknowledge the risk
that third parties may gain unauthorized access to your
information when using our services.
Communications
TVT will not read, listen to or disclose to any third
parties private e-mail, conversations, or other
communications that are transmitted using TVT services
except as required to ensure proper operation of
services or as otherwise authorized by law.
You should be aware that any PII which you
voluntarily include and transmit through publicly
accessible forums (i.e., such as chat rooms, blogs,
instant messages, listservs) may be viewed and used by
anyone with access to such forums. TVT is unable to
control such uses of your PII, and by using such
services you assume the risk that the PII provided by
you may be viewed and used by third parties.
Account Information
Subject to certain security requirements, TVT will do
its best to honor requests from Customers for account
information, for example, name, address, company, or
billing information. The Customer is responsible for
ensuring that the information on file with TVT is
current and accurate.
Children's Privacy Policy
TVT does not sell products or services for purchase
by children. TVT does not knowingly solicit or collect
PII from children or teenagers under the age of
eighteen. If you believe that a minor has disclosed PII
to TVT, please

TVT Spam Policy
TVT has zero tolerance for spam. Spam complaints will
be dealt with seriously and can result in losing TVT
privileges.
Third Party Web Sites and Services
Our service may contain links to other web sites and
services not maintained by TVT. In addition, other web
sites and services may also reference or link to TVT. We
encourage you to be aware when you leave our service, or
surf the Internet, and to read the privacy statements of
each and every web site and service that you visit. We
do not endorse, screen or approve, and are not
responsible for the privacy practices or the content of,
such other web sites and services.
TVT does not assume any liability for third parties
that have been provided with information as permitted by
this Privacy Policy or who have collected information as
permitted by this Privacy Policy (such as advertisers
using third party cookies).
Opt-out Policy
If you do not want your PII used by TVT for any
direct marketing purposes, then you may opt-out of such
disclosures by calling us at (1-631-721-9067).
However, we are not responsible for removing your PII
from the lists of any third party who has previously
been provided your information in accordance with this
policy. Since TVT must use a Customer's PII in order to
provide them with TVT services, Customers cannot opt-out
of all uses of their PII unless they cancel their
service.
Changes to policy
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change,
modify, add, or remove portions from this policy at any
time by posting such changes here. You should review
this policy regularly for changes, and can easily see if
changes have been made by checking the Effective Date
below. However, if at any time in the future we plan to
use PII in a way that differs from this policy, we will
post such changes here and provide you the opportunity
to opt-out of such differing uses. Your continued use
following the posting of any changes to this policy
means you accept such changes.

TVT Terms of Service or other agreements between you and
TVT. If you are a Customer, please refer to the Terms of
Service or such other agreements regarding certain
rights and limitations with respect to your use of TVT's
