THE SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy addresses the privacy of LIBATECH customers and Web visitors in Lebanon. Where applicable, LIBATECH will comply with the laws of other countries that contain mandatory requirements that differ from this policy.
This policy identifies the types of data and information we collect, how we use it, how you can control its use, and the steps we take to protect it. The primary focus of this policy is non-public information that identifies or that is linked to the identity of a customer or Web visitor (“personal identifying information”).
When you sign up for certain LIBATECH offered services, you may agree to additional privacy policies that address service-specific privacy practices.
WHAT PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION WE COLLECT, HOW WE USE IT AND HOW YOU CAN CONTROL ITS USE Personal identifying information we collect and use We collect personal identifying information regarding our customers, including information customers give us, information collected as a result of the customer’s relationship with us and information we obtain from other sources. Examples include name; address; e-mail address; telephone number; company name; billing, payment, usage, account information (including credit card numbers or Bank Account details for customers who have explicitly applied for automatic Credit Card Withdrawal or Bank Account Withdrawal with LIBATECH)
We also collect personally identifying information that our Web visitors choose to provide to us (e.g., name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, Company Name etc…) when registering on our Web site; ordering LIBATECH-offered products or services; sending us an e-mail; responding to our surveys; entering contests or in connection with online ordering or billing functions.
We use the personal identifying information of a customer to provide, confirm, change, bill, monitor, and resolve problems with the quality of LIBATECH-offered products and services. We also use the personal identifying information of a customer or Web visitor to develop, market, and sell our products and services.
We may aggregate the personal identifying information of different customers or Web visitors to produce data about a group or category of services, customers, or Web visitors. For example, we might use aggregate data about the types of services our customers have generally purchased at the same time in order to develop attractive bundled service offerings. Such aggregate data, however, will not reflect any personal identifying information of any specific customer or Web visitor. Personal identifying information we disclose to third parties We do not provide personal identifying information to third parties for the marketing of their products and services without your consent.
We may provide personal identifying information to third parties where required to provide certain LIBATECH-offered products and services.
We may also provide personal identifying information to third parties who perform functions or services on our behalf. Examples include shipping companies or Postal Services Companies who deliver LIBATECH products; LIBATECH-authorized agents who market and sell LIBATECH-offered products and services on our behalf; and advertising companies, who provide analysis and advertising services.
When we provide such personally-identifying information to third parties to perform such functions or services on our behalf, we require that they protect personally identifying information consistent with this policy and do not allow them to use such information for other purposes.
We may, where permitted or required by law, provide personally-identifying information to third parties (including credit bureaus or collection agencies) without your consent:
• To obtain payment for LIBATECH-offered products and services, enforce or apply our customer agreements, and/or protect our rights or property.
• To comply with court orders, subpoenas, or other legal or regulatory requirements.
• To prevent unlawful use of communications or other services, to assist in repairing network outages.
• To notify a responsible governmental entity if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires or justifies disclosure without delay.
When contacting LIBATECH, a customer’s name and telephone number may also be transmitted and displayed on a Caller ID device unless the customer has elected to block such information. Customer Proprietary Network Information In the normal course of providing Internet services to our customers, we collect and maintain certain customer proprietary network information, also known as “CPNI”. Your CPNI includes the types of Internet services you currently purchase, how you use them, and related billing information for those services. Your telephone number, name, and address are not CPNI.
Protecting the confidentiality of your CPNI is your right and our duty. We do not sell trade or share your CPNI with anyone outside of LIBATECH or with anyone not authorized to represent us to offer our products or services, or to perform functions on our behalf except as may be required by law or authorized by you.
As a general rule, we are permitted to use CPNI in our provision of Internet services you purchase, including billing and collections for those services. We are permitted to use or disclose CPNI to offer Internet services of the same type that you already purchase from us. We may also use or disclose your CPNI for legal or regulatory reasons such as a court order, to investigate fraud or to protect against the unlawful use of our Internet network and services and to protect other users.
