Absolutely not! We do not sell any of our customer information, for any reason. With regards to your being contacted via e-mail by TEL3, we can assure you that the only instance in which TEL3 will contact you via E-mail is if you have explicitly indicated a preference for us to do so.
Tel3’s registration, surveys, contests, and other promotions ask users to provide their contact information and certain demographic information. TEL3 may also gather anonymous information that does not personally identify you, but that may be helpful for marketing purposes or for improving the services we offer to our customers. The TEL3 online sign up form requires our customers to provide contact information (such as name), unique identifiers (address and E-mail address) all of which is user profile information. Contact information is used to communicate with Members for purposes such as gathering survey information, billing for requested value-added services, notification of service upgrades, and changes to existing services. Unique identifiers (such as E-mail and street addresses) are used to verify a Member’s identity and to set up record system accounts. Additionally, customers who choose to purchase products or services may be asked to provide financial information such as credit card numbers for billing purposes. All financial information are kept confidential. A third party financial institution will be used to process credit card orders. We may provide some User Information to third parties that we use to perform certain functions for us -- for example, credit card numbers are sent to a processing company for credit authorization and billing. In these cases, the companies are authorized to use User Information for the sole purpose of completing TEL3 business. They are not authorized to release this information to any other parties. TEL3 uses Member’s IP addresses to help diagnose server problems and to administer its web site. A Member’s IP address also may be used to gather broad demographic information.

TEL3’s web site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Normally, we require our users to transmit credit card information for the purpose of signing up or to make changes to their credit card information. In these cases, we transmit that credit card number in an encrypted format using SSL (secure socket layer), the industry-standard. However, E-mail should not be considered as a secure means of communication even when encrypted. The information can only be as secure as the encryption method. Furthermore, please don’t forget that no computer system or network should be considered safe from intrusion. Even though we make every effort possible and we take many precautions to protect our systems and our servers, we cannot guarantee the security of any data on any server, including "secure servers".

TEL3 is only a conduit for the distribution and receipt of your Communications and will not divulge any of your personal information or disclose the contents of any Communications unless, while acting under a good faith belief that in its sole discretion such action is necessary, to (1) comply with governmental authorities when legally required to do so; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of TEL3; or (3) act to protect the interests of our users or anyone else that could be harmed by any activities in which the service has been utilized.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this privacy policy, due to the existing regulatory and technical environment, we cannot guarantee that any of your User Information and Communications will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
