- What personally identifiable information of yours or third party
personally identifiable information that is collected from you through
the web site.
- The organization collecting the information.

What Information We Collect and How We Use It
Personally Identifiable Information
When you place an order for products or services we collect certain
types of personally identifiable information required to fulfill those
products or services, including (1) contact information, such as name,
address, e-mail address, and telephone number; (2) payment information,
such as credit card number, or (3) ID verification information, such
as credit card number, date of birth, Social Security Number, or Driver's
License Number, as may be required by a wireless carrier if you are
requesting a new account.
We use this information to process requests for products and services.
For those customers applying for new wireless service activation,
this includes performing a standard industry credit check by inputting
your data into the wireless carrier's system. Once the carrier runs
the check, it informs us of an applicant's approval status so that
we can either process the order or notify those applicants who have
not been approved of their status. Aside from approval status information,
we do not have access to an applicant's credit-history information.
We also use collected information to communicate with you, such as
to notify you about updates to products, to send you order confirmations,
or to provide you with important product warranty or safety information.
Your e-mail address may also be sent a third party newsletter from
WireOffers.com. You can easily opt out of this newsletter by visiting
wireoffers.com or by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of
any of these e-mails. In addition, we use contact information you
provide to respond to your inquiries about our offerings, and to offer
you, by means of e-mail or through our newsletter, additional products,
programs or services that we believe may be of interest to you.
Information from IP addresses is used for system administration,
to examine overall traffic trends, troubleshooting, etc. This information
is used only in the aggregate form. IP addresses are not linked to
any personally identifiable information, meaning the user session
is tracked, but the user is anonymous.
Supplementation of Information
We may, from time to time, supplement the information we collect
online with outside records (e.g., information from our Strategic
Partners or from wireless providers) to enhance our ability to serve
you, to tailor our content to you, and to offer you opportunities
to purchase products or services that we believe may be of interest
to you.
Sharing of Your Information
Agents and contractors who have access to personally identifiable
information are required to protect it in a manner that is consistent
with this Privacy Notice.
To fulfill your requests for products and services, we may need to
share some of your personally identifiable information with both the
wireless provider from which you would like to request service and
the "Strategic Partner” through which you accessed 4-Cell-Phones.com,
or with other affiliates or co-branding partners.
More specifically, when you place an order for wireless services,
we will share names, contact information, and other information that
is necessary for the wireless carrier to provide you with its services,
and to provide you with products that we think you will find interesting.
The provider may use this information for credit approval, service
activation, and from time to time, for its own marketing purposes.
You should consult the wireless providers' respective privacy policies,
as this Notice does not cover their use of your information.
In addition, if you access 4-Cell-Phones.com through a third-party
site, such as one of our Strategic Partners' sites, we also may need
to report certain personally identifiable information (e.g., name
and e-mail address) back to that Web site. As we explain further below
in the section that follows, we will tell you at the point of collection
if we will share personally identifiable information with the Strategic
Partner through which you access the 4-Cell-Phones.com service.
In addition, we may share aggregated demographic information with
our Strategic Partners, wireless providers and advertisers.
Sharing of Affiliate Information in the Affiliate
Sign-Up Process
Information submitted by potential Affiliates in the Affiliate Sign-Up
Process is submitted to our own affiliate module. This information
is not shared with any other parties, whatsoever.
Our Collection of Personally Identifiable Information
Through a Third-party Web Site
To provide you with content and service, we have relationships with
many of the best service and content companies. As a result of these
relationships, you can access 4-Cell-Phones.com through a third-party
Web site. You can recognize most of the 4-Cell-Phones.com pages on
these third-party sites by looking for the joint branding of 4-Cell-Phones.com
and a third-party company. For example, if you see a logo on the page
that says "Powered by 4-Cell-Phones.com," you are on a co-branded
page.
Whenever you provide registration information on a co-branded page,
that data may be shared with the third-party site through which you
access 4-Cell-Phones.com. We may share personally identifiable information
with third parties. By agreeing to this privacy policy, you give us
permission to transfer your personal information to third parties
for the purposes of analyzing it to make your experience better and
offering products to you. We encourage you to read the privacy policies
of such third parties, as this Notice does not cover their use of
information.
Third Party Sharing of Information
4-Cell-Phones.com sometimes may offer content (e.g., promotions,
affiliations, sponsorships) that is sponsored by or cobranded with
identified third parties. By virtue of these relationships, the third
parties may obtain personally identifiable information that visitors
voluntarily submit to participate in the site activity.
Live Help Function
To better serve you and respond to your questions regarding our products
or services, we also maintain a telephone help function through which
we can respond, in real time, to your questions about our products
and services. This information enables us to understand the types
of questions our users have about our products and services so that
we may continue to improve our content and offerings.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We may collect certain non-personally identifiable information about
our visitors when you visit many of our Web pages such as the type
of browser you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the
type of operating system you are using, (e.g., Windows '98 or Mac
OS) and the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., America
Online, Earthlink etc).
We use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect
to improve the design and content of our service pages and to enable
us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this information
in the aggregate to analyze service usage.
Legal Process/Disclaimer
We may disclose personally identifiable information in response to
legal process or when we believe in good faith that the law requires
it, for example, in response to a court order, subpoena or a law enforcement
agency's request.
Choices/Opt Out
If you prefer not to receive marketing information, including emails
from us, or wish to fully deactivate your account information from
us, simply let us know by sending a letter via certified mail to 4-Cell-Phones.com,
1010 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 600, Washington, DC 20007 or an e-mail
to Customer Relations or by visiting www.WireOffers.com. Please note
that even if you chose to opt out of 4-Cell-Phones.com's marketing,
we will continue to send you important service-related communications
(e.g., order confirmation or product safety information). However,
these are not promotional in nature.
