What is CPNI?
Customer Proprietary Network Information or "CPNI" is the data
collected by telecommunications carriers about a customer’s telephone service
and usage. It includes the time, date, duration, and destination or origination
number of each call, the type of services and rate plans to which a customer
subscribes, and any other information that appears on the customer’s telephone
bill.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires telecommunications service
providers and interconnected VOIP providers to file a certification each year
stating whether they are in compliance with the FCC's CPNI rules. The
certification must include a statement demonstrating compliance in specific
categories.
In general, carriers must obtain a customer's approval to use their information
for purposes unrelated to the provision of service, although in some cases the
approval can be assumed unless the customer "opts out" of the use of their
information. In cases of access to data that is personally identifiable, such as
names and addresses, customer approval is generally always required and
customers are never deemed to have automatically "opted-in."
CPNI administration at Endeavor
Endeavor Communications has always respected your privacy and observed the
privacy rules established by the FCC. For this reason, we require each
customer to create a password for his/her account.
The password that you choose should be something unique that only the authorized
persons on your account know. You may call or come in our office during our
business hours to set up this password. Again, these measures are being taken to
ensure the security of the information that we, as your telecommunications
provider, have in our records. We will never sell your account information or
provide details of your telephone calls to other parties unless required by law
enforcement.
In addition, on occasion we would like to notify you of additional products
available from us outside the existing business relationship we currently have
with you. For example, if you have our telephone service, you may be interested
to learn about promotions and packaging we have for our high speed internet and
digital television services. We also want to be able to update you on the Fiber
Optics, and tell you when it is available in your area. However, you have the
right to be excluded from these marketing campaigns.
If it is acceptable to receive information from Endeavor about additional
products and services, you need to do nothing. If you prefer to be excluded from
these company updates and marketing efforts, please complete, sign, and return
the
CPNI
Opt Out Form, and we will not include you in any targeted marketing
programs. Nothing about the services you receive from Endeavor Communications
will be impacted by your decision.
Please call a Customer Service Representative with any questions at
1.800.922.6677.
