Provider may use third parties to assist or provide various services or support to be used by our customers. Provider may provide these third parties with customer information in order to provide the services and support. Otherwise, Provider will not

Sharing of Customer Information
GTC provides related services, such as Internet access and voice services. GTC shares information as allowed by law or with customer consent to improve its networks, the services we provide, and our customer service. GTC will disclose information about a customer’s account to others if the customer asks us to do so in writing. GTC may also share customer information to plan, provide, bill and collect for service. GTC also shares information with companies that provide Internet service, email, telephone equipment, and other services that are included in GTC’s service packages. GTC may share customer information when appropriate to comply with the law, court orders, or subpoenas; and to protect rights, property, and safety of GTC’s employees, customers, property, and
third parties. GTC also reserves the right to report to appropriate law enforcement or government agencies any activities that GTC reasonably believes to be harmful or illegal.

CPNI does not include your name, address, and telephone number. CPNI may be used by GTC for billing purposes, to ensure quality of service, and to market products which may be of interest to you. GTC does not disclose CPNI to other companies without your consent except as allowed or required by law. Further information about GTC’s CPNI Policy is available upon request.
