How We Protect Your Information

EternalComemploys a variety of safeguards in order to keep your personal information safe from unauthorized access:

  • EternalComemployees are trained in various privacy protections and on the proper access to, use, and disclosure of customer information.
  • EternalComonly permits access to sensitive personal information to those employees who have a business need to access such information.
  • EternalComrequires password protection to access online account information. For multi-line accounts, the primary account holder is authorized to access all account information. Other account users may access online account information only related to their device and line. The primary account holder may provide for broader or more limited access rights for other account users.
  • Federal law provides for protection of CPNI, and EternalComenforces a policy to maintain the confidentiality of CPNI and ensure compliance with federal rules. EternalComwill never intentionally disclose customer CPNI to third parties without customer consent, except as permitted by federal laws and as described in this Policy. However, primary account holders may designate certain authorized users to access account information and CPNI. For more information, please see the EternalComCPNI Policy.
  • EternalComretains information only for as long as needed for business or tax purposes, or as applicable laws, regulations, or orders require. Upon disposal of customer information, EternalComutilizes procedures reasonably designed to erase or eliminate access to information (e.g., by shredding documents, wiping media and devices, and various other measures).
  • EternalComapplies encryption and other security controls to protect your information that EternalComstores or transmits.

Although EternalComstrives to provide the security of your personal information, no program is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee that our precautions will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access personal information. EternalComutilizes incident response plans to handle unauthorized attempts to access personal information. If you become aware of a security issue, please contact EternalCom’s regulatory department at [email protected].
