CONSENT

When subscribing to any of our services, you are providing implied consent for us to collect personal information like your name, phone number, and billing information.

We will obtain your express consent prior to using or disclosing your personal information for a purpose that is not described within this policy, or that we did not identify to you at the time of collection.

When dealing with certain legal, medical, or security issues, CrescentCX may be required by law to disclose your personal information without seeking or obtaining your consent.

IDENTIFYING PURPOSES

For what purposes does CrescentCX collect, retain, use, and disclose my personal information?

  • To meet legal and regulatory requirements.
  • To establish and provide you with ongoing service.
  • To help us understand and determine which of our services might better suit your needs.
  • To manage and improve our business operations.

In instances where we require your personal information for a purpose that is not listed above, CrescentCX will identify the purpose at the time of collection.

LIMITING COLLECTION

CrescentCX shall limit the type and quantity of personal information collected to the amount necessary to carry out the identified purpose(s). At the time of collection, our representative will explain why the information is needed.

LIMITING USE, DISCLOSURE, AND RETENTION

We will retain your personal information only long enough to satisfy the purpose(s) to which you have already consented. Within a reasonable time after the purpose has been satisfied, your sensitive information will be destroyed or made anonymous. Unless you provide express consent for the purposes for which the company has informed you that it is collecting your personal information, all information kept by the company regarding the customer, other than the customer’s name, address and listed telephone number, is confidential and may not be disclosed by the company to anyone other than:

  • the customer;
  • a person who, in the reasonable judgment of the company, is seeking the information as an agent of the customer;
  • another telecommunications company, provided the information is required for the efficient and cost-effective provision of telecommunications services and disclosure is made on a confidential basis with the information to be used only for that purpose;
  • a company involved in supplying the customer with telephone or telephone directory related services, provided the information is required for that purpose and disclosure is made on a confidential basis with the information to be used only for that purpose; or
  • an agent retained by the company to evaluate the customer’s credit worthiness or in the collection of the customer’s account, provided the information is required for and is to be used only for that purpose.

The fact that you are a CrescentCX customer may be revealed to other CrescentCX customers when using certain plans.

ACCURACY

Keeping in mind the purpose of its use, we will make every reasonable effort to keep your personal information as accurate and complete as possible.

SAFEGUARDS

CrescentCX will ensure that your personal information is protected against unauthorized access and any other type of misuse, by maintaining industry standard security safeguards. Excluding when they are in use by authorized personnel, paper-based files containing personal information are secured within a restricted area. Electronic data containing personal information is restricted to authorized users only.

OPENNESS

We encourage you to read this privacy policy. If you are not able to print a hard copy from our website, we will gladly provide you with one. If you wish to discuss the policy, we are ready to answer any questions you may have.

INDIVIDUAL ACCESS

You are entitled to have access to your personal information. Upon your written request, CrescentCX will promptly inform you of the existence, use, or disclosure of your personal information. In some limited circumstances, if the information you requested is too costly to make available to you or if it conflicts with any legal or commercial proprietary obligations, CrescentCX may withhold access or charge a reasonable fee. In the event that CrescentCX does withhold access, you will be notified of the reason(s) no later than 14 days after your request was submitted. You may challenge the accuracy of the information under our care, and have it amended when appropriate.
