Emery Telcom Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy identifies and describes the way Emery Telcom ("Emery") collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a "User") whether you are browsing our website, purchasing products and services from us through our on-line ordering website, discussing billing issues with our customer service representatives, or using our facilities for your communications needs ("Services"). This Privacy Policy applies to all products and services offered by Emery, and details our commitment to protect your information.

By visiting our website or using our Services, you consent to the collection and use of your information by us as set forth in this Privacy Policy. Emery reserves the right to change or modify the terms of this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check it regularly for any changes or updates. Updates will be posted on Emery's web site at www.emerytelcom.com/emery-telcom-policies.html. In addition, if you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, you may contact us by telephone or mail at: (435) 748-2223, or P.O. Box 629, 455 East Highway 29, Orangeville, UT 84537.

Important Terms Used In This Privacy Policy

Throughout this Privacy Policy we use several specialized terms: "Customer Proprietary Network Information" (CPNI) means your service usage related information such as the numbers you call and when you call them, as well as the particular services you use, such as call forwarding or voice mail. We collect this information so we can provide you with the services you have requested and send you bills for these services. "Personally Identifiable Information" is information that tells us specifically who you are, your name, street address, email address, billing address, social security number, driver's license number, credit card information, bank account number, telephone number, and other account information. "User Information" means all Personally Identifiable Information and any other forms of information discussed in this Privacy Policy, including the Internet Protocol (IP) address of a user's computer and CPNI (as defined below). We use the term "aggregate" when we combine information from various persons and users. Information is said to be "anonymous" if it does not identify individual persons or entities or associate a particular person or entity with such information.

Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI). CPNI is a subcategory of protected customer information defined by federal law as information about a consumer's account, including usage and billing of telecommunications services. Those services are offered by providers of traditional local, long distance, and wireless services, as well as providers of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services to consumers. CPNI includes what services you subscribe to, how you use them, and what you are charged for them. It does not include your name, address, telephone number, or other types of information such as information about your telephone equipment or Internet access services. We are required to treat CPNI confidentially, and we do. The FCC regulates when and how CPNI can be shared and used.

Marketing rules. The FCC has categorized consumer CPNI into three distinct service groups: local, long distance, and wireless service. The CPNI that a carrier can use to market its services to its customers - without their approval - depends on what service groups the customer already buys from. Carriers are permitted to use CPNI for marketing similar products within a service group. For example, if you subscribe to our local service, we are allowed to use that local service information to sell you additional local service products and services.

Approval rules. We obtain customer approval to use CPNI across service groups in two different ways. In some circumstances, we ask for customer consent. In other words, we may ask customers to "opt-in" to our use of CPNI across service groups. In most circumstances, however, we inform customers that CPNI will be used unless they instruct us not to. In these cases, the customers must specifically "opt-out" to our use of CPNI across service groups. We can ask for long-term approval (that lasts until it is withdrawn) or we can ask for approval each time we interact with a customer (short-term approval).

Rules on non-marketing uses of CPNI. We are allowed to use consumer CPNI for various non-marketing purposes without specific customer approval. These activities include installing, providing, billing for, and collecting for Services. We may also use CPNI without specific approval to protect our rights or property or those of our customers or other carriers and to address fraud, abuse or unlawful subscriptions to or use of our services.

Access rules. Before speaking with a caller about account information, we take steps to authenticate the identity of the caller and confirm that he or she is authorized to have access to information on the account. We do not discuss account information with anyone other than the account holder. Per FCC rules, we will not discuss call detail information with customers over the telephone unless the customer provides specific information about the calls in question, such as in the context of a billing inquiry, or unless the customer provides their specific password. We will not release CPNI in a retail store unless our customer presents a valid photo ID. Additionally, our customers cannot access online account information using only account information or generally known information. Rather, online account access is restricted through security code and password requirements.

How We Collect Information And How We Use It

We collect information in three primary ways:

You give it to use when you purchase or interact with us about a product or service we offer or provide;
We collect it automatically when you visit our websites or use our products and services; and
We obtain it from other sources such as credit agencies.

We may use this information to measure the number of visitors and repeat visitors to sections of our site, to calculate the average time spent at our site, to determine from where and to where our visitors link, and to help make our site more useful. This type of information may be shared with third parties, such as when we aggregate and disclose site traffic information for marketing and commercial purposes. When you visit our website, we may ask if you would like us to send you marketing materials about our Services and other associated products. If you request such materials, then we may use Personally Identifiable Information you give us to send you such materials.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy, we will not share Personally Identifiable Information with third parties without your consent.

Using Our Services. When you use our Services, you must provide certain Personally Identifiable Information for us to properly provide you with the Services.

We may also share aggregate anonymous data relating to the transactions on the website and use of the Service for marketing, research and other purposes.

Feedback. Except as otherwise provided in the Privacy Policy or in other written documentation provided by us to you, any comments or materials you send to Emery through the website, including without limitation, feedback developer ideas, questions, comments, or suggestions (collectively "Feedback"), may not be treated as confidential and shall become the property of Emery. Emery has no obligation of any kind with respect to such Feedback, and may be free to reproduce, use, disclosed, exhibit, display, and distribute the Feedback.

How we protect your information. We employ and maintain technology and security measures designed to protect User Information. When you submit sensitive information via our website, that information is subject to a variety of protections both on-line and off-line, including password protected systems and firewalls. Sensitive and private data exchange between the website and its users happens over a SSL secured communication channel and is encrypted and protected with digital signatures. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Third Party Websites. You may find advertising or other content on our website that link to the sites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors and other third parties. We do not control the content or links that appear on these sites and are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our website.

Browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link to our Site, is subject to that website’s own terms and policies. We are not responsible or liable for the actions or policies of third parties.

Control of Your Password To help secure User Information, we have designed a password protected system. We will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. Except as specifically permitted by this Privacy Policy or other instructions regarding the Services, you should not, lend, give, or otherwise disclose your password to any unauthorized person, or permit any unauthorized person to use your accounts or related passwords.

Any loss of control of passwords may result in the loss of control over Personally Identifiable Information or User Information. You will be responsible for any actions taken on your behalf or any person using your password or user identification. If passwords have been compromised, then you should immediately change your password or notify us so that we may issue a new password.

Network Management Disclosure and Usage Policy

Pursuant to the Open Internet Order issued by the Federal Communication Commission ("FCC"), Emery Telecommunications & Video, Inc., and Emery Telcom Video, LLC (collectively doing business as "Emery Telcom Internet, and Emery Telcom Wireless (collectively "Emery Telcom") are required to disclose Network Management practices in order to provide transparency to their customers. However, this disclosure is not meant to replace or alter any terms of service as provided in any contract or notices supplied by Emery Telcom. Specifically, the FCC rule states:

A person engaged in the provision of broadband Internet access service shall publicly disclose accurate information regarding the network management practices, performance, and commercial terms of its broadband Internet access services sufficient for consumers to make informed choices regarding use of such services and for content, application, service, and device providers to develop, market, and maintain Internet offerings.

These disclosures apply only to residential and non-customized small business Internet Services. If you have any question whether the services you purchase or are considering purchasing from Emery Telcom are covered by this disclosure, please contact Emery Telcom at 435-748-2223.

Emery Telcom is committed to providing its Internet services as an open platform for economic growth, competition, entertainment, investment, and innovation. It does not block any lawful content, applications, services, or your use of non-harmful devices, or discriminate in transmitting lawful network traffic.

Performance Characteristics

Core Network/Service Description. Emery Telcom and its subsidiaries provide Internet services across various technologies including cellular, fixed wireless, copper telephone lines (DSL2+/VDSL), fiber to the premises, and coaxial cable. Each of these services is connected to a common MPLS core Internet Protocol Network. Such core is connected to redundant Internet access circuits obtained from carriers in Salt Lake City, Utah and/or Grand Junction, Colorado.

Internet Speeds. Emery Telcom markets and provides the speeds listed on its website found at www.emerytelcom.com/internet-speeds . Emery Telcom uses its best effort to provide the purchased speeds. If Customers have issues with their speed, then they can call Emery Telcom for technical assistance at no charge. The following variables (which are often out of Emery Telcom's control) can affect actual speeds experienced by customers:

Network Capacity. Emery Telcom purchases more than double its customer's combined peak usage from carriers. It also ensures that there is capacity on its core and that ports are distributed to limit disruptions. Therefore, it is unlikely that slow speeds are a result of Emery Telcom's network capacity.

Customer Equipment. Performance of a customer's computer, including its age, processing capability, its software, the number of applications running simultaneously, and the presence of any spyware, viruses, etc.

Connection.Type of connection between a customer's computer and modem and the distance of devices from customer's computer.

Path.The distance, paths, and networks packets travel between a customer's computer and their final destination on the Internet. Packets may travel across multiple and various providers and the limitations of those networks can affect the overall speed.

Congestion or Website Limitations. If a large number of visitors are accessing a site or particular destination at the same time, your connection will be adversely affected if the site or destination does not have sufficient capacity to serve all of the visitors efficiently. Also, some websites limit speeds at which visitors can download from their sites.

Modem/Gateway. The performance of the modem may degrade over time. Sometimes the modem just needs to be restarted or have the software updated. Please contact Emery Telcom to discuss such issues and the possible solutions.

Network Overhead. The modem uses a portion of the bandwidth to handle network and overhead information. This is typically very minor and the connections are sized to eliminate most, if not all, slowing in relation to this issue.

Length of Lines or Distance from Antennas. The technologies used by Emery Telcom may be affected by distance or terrain. Emery Telcom will use its best effort to provide the ordered speeds. If such speeds are not possible, then the customer can call Emery Telcom and reduce the Customer's package. However, if the customer is unable to obtain the full purchased speed, but wants and can obtain speeds above the next lower offering, then Customer must pay for the higher offering. Emery Telcom is not responsible for reimbursing customers for not providing purchased speeds.

Emery Telcom maintains a speed test server on its website at www.emerytelcom.com/speed-test , which customers may use, but the issues above may affect the results.

Many factors may affect Emery Telcom's network. Emery Telcom will use its best effort to keep its network operational. However, the network might experience problems or may not be available. Emery Telcom is not liable to its customers in such circumstances.

Impact of Specialized Services. The MPLS core also carries other services such as TDM circuits, Ethernet circuits, voice service, and video services. Priority across such MPLS core network is given for circuits and voice services; however, the MPLS core is sufficiently sized to prevent slowing of Internet under almost all circumstances. Customers over the various technologies are connected to common ports on core routers and equipment. The customers on each port share use of such port. Emery Telcom attempts to distribute its customers across the various ports in order to reduce overall bandwidth constraints. Emery Telcom does not have any control over other carriers beyond its core network.

Network Practices

Congestion Management Practices . Congestion is an Internet service problem that can slow web browsing, downloading and other activities of the customers during certain peak usage periods. Emery Telcom engineers monitor and proactively reinforce our network with additional capacity in areas where congestion is identified.

If acute network congestion occurs, Emery Telcom employs various techniques to ensure a positive customer experience and fair distribution of network resources. Our network management techniques include ensuring that customer systems are not propagating viruses or distributing spam email, - i.e. by preventing virus/spam delivery to customer email accounts. In some cases, we may limit the number of customers that may be served on a particular network node until additional capacity can be added. We also seek to monitor and identify which customers are using the greatest amount of bandwidth during periods of heavy congestion, and to contact those "high volume customers" to work out a solution to the problem.

Emery Telcom reserves the right to manage, temporarily, the Internet traffic of "high volume customers" during periods of significant congestion until such periods of congestion pass. The temporary traffic management will be accomplished by technically and commercially feasible methods. Affected "high volume customers" will still be able to access the Internet and engage in any and all on-line activities, however, during periods of heavy congestion, they may experience longer download and upload times, slower web surfing, and slower movements during on-line gaming.

Customers should note that any temporary traffic management practices employed by Emery Telcom will impact only identified and notified "high volume customers" during periods when congestion problems are experienced, and will not be based upon the types of content, applications, services, or devices such customers use.

Application Specific Behavior Practices. Emery Telcom does not favor or inhibit certain applications or classes of applications. Customers may use any lawful and commercially available application which they desire on Emery Telcom's network.

Emery Telcom does not normally monitor the contents of the traffic or applications of its customers. It undertakes no obligation to monitor or investigate the lawfulness of the applications used by its customers. If any party contacts Emery Telcom with a substantial allegation that an application being used by a customer is unlawful, Emery Telcom will investigate the matter (including consultation, as it deems appropriate, with attorneys, consultants, federal or state regulators, and/or federal, state or local law enforcement agencies), and will take appropriate actions to deal with the use of applications that are demonstrated to be unlawful.

Customers may occasionally develop their own applications, or modify commercially available applications. Emery Telcom will not prohibit the use of customer-developed or modified applications unless there is a reasonable belief that such applications will cause harm to its network. The Company does not block or rate-control specific protocols or protocol ports. The Company does not modify protocol fields in ways that are not prescribed by the applicable protocol standards.

Device Attachment Rules. Emery Telcom provides modems or gateways to its customers. Emery Telcom does not allow customers to provide their own modems or gateways, because Emery Telcom uses these devices to monitor its network and to ensure quality service. Customers may place routers or other devices in their own network beyond the Emery Telcom provided router or gateway. If customers are using wireless networks beyond Emery Telcom's equipment, Emery Telcom encourages its customers to secure the wireless networks. Such wireless networks are susceptible to outside usage, which may violate customers' privacy, slow down customers' usage of the Internet, or otherwise harm customers. Customers may call Emery Telcom for help in securing such wireless networks, but in no instance is Emery Telcom responsible for the security of such networks, even if such wireless network is across a router or modem provided by Emery Telcom. Customers use such networks at their own risk.

Security Practices. Emery Telcom does not normally monitor the traffic of its customers. It undertakes no obligation to monitor or protect such customer traffic from spam, viruses, denial-of-service attacks, or other malicious, unlawful or unwanted activities.

Emery Telcom recognizes that customers can purchase spam filtering and anti-virus software from commercial vendors to meet their needs. Emery Telcom may from time to time offer anti- spam and/or anti-virus software or services to customers who desire to purchase them from Emery Telcom. When offered, these software or services will be described and priced in other sections of this website and in Emery Telcom's sales and marketing materials. Customers are free to obtain anti-spam and/or anti-virus software or services from any source they desire, as long as such software or services do not disrupt or degrade the traffic of other customers of Emery Telcom or harm the network.

A customer that is subjected to a denial-of-service attack, or similar malicious, unlawful or unwanted activity, is urged to notify Emery Telco as soon as possible. Emery Telcom will work with the customer, other service providers, federal and state regulators, and/or law enforcement to determine the source of such activity, and to take appropriate, and technically and economically reasonable efforts to address the matter.

Emery employs commercially appropriate security procedures to protect its network and its customer records from unauthorized access by third parties. Emery Telcom does not guarantee that it can protect customers from any and/or all security breaches.

Terms of Service

Disconnection Policy: Carbon/Emery Telcom; Emery Telephone; Hanksville Telcom; E Fiber San Juan, LLC; E Fiber Moab, LLC ("the Emery Entities") must follow the Utah Public Service Commission Rules (R746-240 et seq.) In order to terminate Local Telephone Service ("Local Service"), the Emery Entities has established the following procedures to conform to such rules.

To be current, accounts must be paid in full within 20 days of the bill date. Accounts not current on that date will be mailed a late/reminder notice which will contain a Date of Scheduled Termination not less than 7 days from the date of such notice. Accounts not paid in full by 10:00 a.m. on the Date of Scheduled Termination listed on such notice will be disconnected. On the business day prior to the Date of Scheduled Termination, the Emery Entities will attempt to orally contact the customer. If a customer cannot pay the entire delinquent amount, then the customer might be able to prevent disconnection by entering into a written deffered payment agreement with the Emery Entities. Customers may be required to pay a reconnection fee and/or deposit to have services reconnected. The Emery Entities may submit any delinquent accounts to an attorney or collection agency, or take other actions to collect such debt. Charges for services and equipment shown on customer statements are deemed to be correct and reasonable unless contested in writing within thirty days of billing date. If a customer account becomes delinquent, customer agrees to pay interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum). Customer further agrees to pay all court costs, attorney's fees and collection agency commissions incurred in the collection of this account.

Accounts are also subject to disconnection by type of services and payments will be first applied to Local Service. If a customer’s bill for Local Service has been paid, but the customer’s bill for long distance, internet, calling features, or other billed services ("Other Services") have not been paid, the customer’s Local Service is not subject to disconnection (all Other Services will be disconnected, unless brought current as noted above.) However, if a Local Service bill has not been paid, then Local Service and all Other Services will be disconnected, unless brought current as noted above. Further, Other Services, which are not current, may be disconnected by the Emery Entities, at its sole discretion, without the above stated written or oral notices.

The Emery Entities have chosen to participate as a provider in various Federal and State programs which provide subsidies to eligible customers including the Lifeline Program, Affordable Connectivity Program, State Lifeline or others. The various government programs have specific regulations regarding minimum service levels, customer eligibility, disconnection, and collections. The Emery Entities will comply with government program specific regulations as they apply to eligible customer accounts.

Customer Rights and Responsibilities: if the Emery Entities are unable to answer your questions or to reach a resolution in the difference(s) in its records and yours for the current bill, you may apply to the Division of Public Utilities or the Utah Public Services Commission for review and disposition of any dispute over Local Service, pursuant to Section R476-240-7 of the Utah Public Service Commission Rules. During the investigation or negotiation and subsequent review by the Division, no other action shall be taken to terminate your Local Service if you pay the undisputed portion of the account, subject to the Emery Entities’ right to terminate Local Service pursuant to any other reason listed in R476-240-6.

If you have any additional questions concerning your rights and responsibilities, please refer to the statement of Rights and Responsibilities and other information contained in the most recent telephone directory published by the Emery Entities.
