PRIVACY POLICY OF SHENTEL’S INTERNET, TV, AND PHONE SERVICES

This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) addresses the privacy of your information when using the services of Shenandoah Cable Television LLC dba as Glo Fiber (“Glo Fiber”) and visiting Glo Fiber websites. As phone, TV and internet providers, Glo Fiber is committed to protecting the privacy of your information, and we want you to use our services, information, and tools with confidence.

This Privacy Policy applies to all Glo Fiber Phone, TV, and WiFi Services

Our Privacy Policy describes the information Glo Fiber collects, including from our Internet, TV, and/or Phone, services ( the “Glo Fiber Services”) and from visitors and users of Glo Fiber’s online websites such as www.glofiber.com (the “Online Services”), how we use the information we collect, and the choices you have concerning the collection and use of such information.

Please check back for updates on our privacy policy

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. We will make every effort to ensure that this document stays accurate and up-to-date, so please check www.glofiber.com for updates periodically and each time you elect to submit information to us.

Privacy Limitation

Glo Fiber works hard to protect your information. Nonetheless, use of Glo Fiber Services may necessarily involve third parties, and no system can be made completely secure. Glo Fiber’s Privacy Policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet or beyond our control.

What is Personally Identifiable Information?

Glo Fiber takes care to protect “Personally Identifiable Information,” which is information that can be used to identify and/or contact you as an individual. This includes your name and information such as your mailing address, phone number, credit card number, account information, email address, and device identifiers, when linked to your name.

Information that, by itself, is not linked with your “real” identity is not considered Personally Identifiable Information. For example, non-personally identifiable device identifiers and aggregated or anonymous usage information collected in connection with the Glo Fiber Services are not considered Personally Identifiable Information.

Information should not be provided by children under 13

Glo Fiber recognizes the importance of children’s safety and privacy on the Internet. For this reason, and to comply with certain laws, Glo Fiber’s Online Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not intentionally collect Personally Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If, in limited circumstances, we do knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information from a child under the age of 13, we will do so only with verified parental consent prior to collection. In the event that we learn that we have collected any Personally Identifiable Information from a child under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information from our database as quickly as possible.

Customer Information Collected by Glo Fiber

Glo Fiber collects information (1) when you provide it to us; (2) through automated means; and (3) in some instances, from third parties. We collect information when you use our Online Services and in connection with the Glo Fiber Services that we may provide to you.

We collect Personally Identifiable Information you choose to provide to Glo Fiber

Customers and prospective/potential customers are asked to provide certain information when they use our Online Services, when they sign up for our Internet, Cable TV, Phone, Wireless, Business Enterprise, and/or Security services, and when they register for an account online. The information provided by customers in connection with the Glo Fiber Services may include Personally Identifiable Information, as defined above.

From time-to-time we may request information from you via surveys, contests or promotions that require registration or subscription. Participation in these surveys, contests, or promotions is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to provide the information required for registration or subscription. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as ZIP code and age level), as well as other personally identifiable information.

Job applicants who elect to apply online via www.glofiber.com’s Career Center are directed to a third party website to enter their information. We urge you to carefully review that third party website’s privacy policy, which is linked to the Career Center login page. Applicant information is transferred from the third party to Glo Fiber.

Customers from time to time may choose to send Glo Fiber email using the email links on www.glofiber.com, the “Contact Us” page, or directly. These emails, which are received and may be retained by Glo Fiber, contain information that the customer voluntarily provides.

Glo Fiber may also record calls to our Customer Service department, which may contain Personally Identifiable Information.

In connection with providing the Glo Fiber Services, Glo Fiber’s systems automatically collect non-personally identifiable information about your devices and usage.

The third-party analytics companies who collect information on our Online Services may combine such information with other information they have independently collected elsewhere. In addition, many sites you visit on the Internet and search engines used, such as Google, collect and use information under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
