Customer Proprietary Network Information ("CPNI") Policy
Your Privacy is Important to Truconnect
At TruConnect, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our customers' personal information at all costs. By virtue of our provision of telecommunications services to you, TruConnect has access to certain confidential information known as Customer Proprietary Network Information, or CPNI.
What is CPNI?
CPNI is the information generated as a result of your use of TruConnect's telecommunications services. CPNI includes the type of services purchased, how those services are used, billing information, and information about call details, known as "Call Detail Information." Call Detail Information involves information relating to specific calls, including the phone numbers you call, the numbers calling you, call times and dates, caller location, and call durations. CPNI does not include your telephone number, name, or address.
Federal Law Requires Protection of CPNI
TruConnect may share CPNI within the TruConnect family, including our parent and affiliated companies, in order to communicate with you about your account, to provide services to you pursuant to your Customer Agreement, and to develop new products and services that will serve our subscribers best. We also like to use your CPNI to offer you additional products and services that may be of interest. The Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") requires that we obtain your consent to use your CPNI within the TruConnect family in order to offer you additional products and services. With your consent, TruConnect will be able to better serve your telecommunications needs. Please know that in compliance with FCC regulations, TruConnect will not sell or share your CPNI with anyone other than those who are a part of TruConnect, unless required by law.
How to Give Consent to Share Your CPNI
No further action is required to allow TruConnect to use your CPNI. Unless you provide TruConnect with notice that you wish to opt out, we will assume that you consent to our sharing of your CPNI within the TruConnect family of authorized companies. If you prefer to keep your CPNI private and prevent it from being used for additional marketing purposes, you can opt out of that use. To opt out, you can call customer service and speak with a TruConnect representative who can process your opt out request. Your decision to allow or restrict use of your CPNI will remain in effect until you change it, which you may do at any time.
How We Protect Your CPNI
TruConnect maintains safeguards to prevent unauthorized disclosure of your CPNI. In particular, TruConnect requires that customers be authenticated, or properly verified, before we will disclose any CPNI.
CPNI is only disclosed in certain circumstances
You can access your CPNI online via the TruConnect account management website. Note: You must first establish login credentials to use this service. You can also obtain and/or access your CPNI in person by visiting a TruConnect retail location and presenting a valid, government-issued photo ID matching your account information, or you can request certain CPNI be sent to the address of record on your account via customer service once you have appropriately authenticated, or verified your identity as the TruConnect account owner.
Call Detail Information is only disclosed in certain circumstances
You can gain access to Call Detail Information only in the following circumstances:
- By calling TruConnect customer service and authenticating or properly verifying your identity as the TruConnect account owner to the TruConnect representative, or
- Request that the Call Detail Information be mailed to your customer address of record, or
- Request that a TruConnect representative call the telephone number of record for your account to disclose Call Detail Information.
Notification of Account Changes
TruConnect will notify you if any change is made to your account by mailing a notice to the address of record, sending an SMS message to the number of record, and/or an automated call to the number of record. For your security, the notification will not reveal the changed information.
CPNI Breach Policy
TruConnect is required to notify law enforcement, the United States Secret Service, and the FBI if TruConnect becomes aware of a breach of customer CPNI. TruConnect will also notify you of the breach following notification to law enforcement unless directed otherwise by the Secret Service or the FBI.
