Use of Data

Database Systems Corp uses the collected Usage Data for various purposes:

Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI)

Certain of the information that we collect from you may constitute Customer Proprietary Network Information, or CPNI. CPNI is certain information that we obtain solely by virtue of providing you with Services, and that concerns the Services you purchase, including the type, destination, technical configuration, location and amount of use of such Services, along with related billing information.

You may deny, withdraw or restrict our right to use CPNI at any time by advising us via email message to vb@databasesystemscorp.com. If you deny or restrict approval for us to use your CPNI, you will suffer no effect, now or in the future, with regard to how we provide any Services to which you subscribe. Any denial or restriction of your approval remains valid until your Services are discontinued or you affirmatively revoke or limit such approval or denial.

We may disclose CPNI without your consent, and without asking for or receiving your authorization, in any of the following circumstances:

Federal privacy rules require us to authenticate the identity of the Customer calling us prior to disclosing CPNI. Customers calling us can discuss their Services and billings with a Database Systems Corp representative once that representative has verified the caller's identity. There are three methods by which we will conduct Customer authentication:

In the event the Customer fails to remember their password and/or PIN, the representative will ask the Customer a series of questions known only to the Customer and Database Systems Corp in order to authenticate the Customer. You may manage your password by contacting us (see below) or as instructed when your Service is installed.

Database Systems Corp will notify you of changes to your account. These notifications may be sent to a postal or e-mail address, or by telephone, voicemail or text message.

In addition to the protections described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, Database Systems Corp employees are trained on how CPNI is to be protected and when it may or may not be disclosed. Database Systems Corp maintains records of its own and its joint venture partners and/or independent contractors (if applicable) sales and marketing campaigns that may utilize Customer CPNI. Database Systems Corp also keeps records of instances in which CPNI is disclosed to third parties or where third parties were allowed access to Customer CPNI.

In the event Database Systems Corp experiences a privacy breach and CPNI is disclosed to unauthorized persons, Database Systems Corp will notify law enforcement as required by Federal regulations. Database Systems Corp cannot inform Customer of the CPNI breach until at least seven (7) days after notification has been sent to law enforcement, or later if law enforcement directs us to postpone disclosure pending investigation. Database Systems Corp is required to maintain certain records regarding any breach involving the release of CPNI, and retain these records for a period of not less than two (2) years.
