    Personally identifiable information: This is information that POPP collects that identifies or could potentially identify you including your: name, address, telephone number(s), email addresses, payment information, correspondence with POPP, demographic information (e.g., number of employees or number of phones). POPP also keeps a record of billing and payment history, service and repair, helpline interaction, products and services, and installation information. Aggregated data that does not identify you or your company and non-personal information (e.g., URLs, cookies, IP addresses, connection, and device data) are not considered personally identifiable information.

    POPP may require you to provide personally identifiable information (e.g., your name, phone number, address, email address, password, or billing and payment information) for security purposes, to validate that you are an authorized contact for your account.

    POPP maintains records containing account information such as: billing, payment, and deposit history, product and service details, customer correspondence, maintenance and repair records, and complaint history. POPP also keeps data regarding customer feedback and system use.

    POPP also keeps a record of service-related information as follows:

    • Phone Service: POPP maintains a record of the following information related to phone service: type, quantity, configuration, location, usage data, and call history. This information is used on your POPP invoice. When this information is presented along with your name, address, or phone number, it is considered customer proprietary network information (aka “CPNI”) and the CPNI guidelines below apply. However, your name, address, and telephone number alone are not considered CPNI.
    • Internet Service: POPP may gather information generated using POPP’s internet service when used to send and receive e-mail or visit websites.
