PRIVACY POLICY STATEMENT
PARSTEL respects the privacy of every individual who visits our websites. This privacy statement provides notice of our information collection practices and of the ways in which your information may be used.
Collection / Use of Information:
PARSTEL collects personally identifiable information for the purposes of registering, provisioning, troubleshooting, billing, fraud detection, informing customers of new PARSTEL products and services, and general operations of the PARSTEL website and services.
PARSTEL will not disclose, share, transfer, sell or rent personally identifiable information to any third party or partners without the consent of the customer except as required by subpoena, search warrant or other legal process or in the case where failure to disclose information will lead to imminent harm to the customer or others. This includes information derived from registration, subscription, billing information, and use of the PARSTEL service.
PARSTEL will not display or make publicly available, whether through online directories, customer lists or otherwise, the personally identifiable information collected. The exception to this is a listing within the PARSTEL Directory which is available to all PARSTEL customers. Customers may remove themselves from the PARSTEL Directory by either selecting to not be included when signing up for the PARSTEL service, or by logging into their account and removing themselves from the PARSTEL Directory under the Preferences section at any time.
PARSTEL will not read, listen to or disclose to any third parties private e-mail, conversations, or other communications that are transmitted using PARSTEL services except as required to ensure proper operation of services or as otherwise authorized by law.
Security:
When PARSTEL asks users to enter sensitive information, that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our registration form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just "surfing".
PARSTEL may use all customer identifiable information to investigate and help prevent potentially unlawful or fraudulent activity or activities that threaten the integrity of the PARSTEL service, our network integrity, or otherwise violate the PARSTEL Terms and Conditions.
Other:
This PARSTEL site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by this website.
If your personally identifiable information changes, you may update it at any time by logging into your account. If you no longer desire our service you may request to cancel your PARSTEL account by opening a trouble ticket.
SPAM / SPIT Policy:
PARSTEL has zero tolerance for Spam and Spam over Internet Telephony (SPIT). Spam and SPIT complaints will be dealt with seriously and may result in cancellation of your PARSTEL account.
Children's Privacy Policy:
PARSTEL does not provide products or services for use or purchase by children. PARSTEL does not knowingly solicit or collect customer identifiable information from children or teenagers under the age of eighteen. If you believe that a minor has disclosed personally identifiable information to PARSTEL, please contact us so that the information can be removed.
PARSTEL reserves the right to modify the Privacy Policy at any time without notice.
