Privacy Policy

We take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy.

The purpose of AntietamBroadband.net's Privacy Policy is to inform you of AB's practices with respect to the collection, use and disclosure of personally identifiable information, and aggregate information that is anonymous (such as your IP address). Personally identifiable information is information that allows us to contact you (name, home address, home and work telephone numbers, e-mail address, interests, age, gender and income). This policy supplements our Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), which we also urge you to read. By using our website and the Service, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy and by our AUP.

This policy does not apply to practices of companies that AB does not own or control or to people that AB does not employ or manage.

The Cable Privacy Act

In addition, as an AB cable customer, you are entitled under federal law to a statement about our collection and use of certain information that we learn about you. That information is required to be provided in a separate written statement and is therefore attached to this Privacy Policy as Annex A.

Cookies

From time to time, we may place a "cookie" on your computer. A cookie is a file written to your computer's hard drive that records certain technical information about your Internet usage, such as your IP address, browser type, or domain name. Also, if you submit personal information to our web site (such as your name, address, interests or preferences), we may use cookies to keep track of such information so that you will not need to reenter this information during subsequent visits. Cookies help us to customize delivery of our web site content and advertisements.

Banner Advertising and Links to Other Sites

You should be aware that when you are on the web site you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. We may provide links to other sites and banner advertisements. If you click on a banner advertisement or a link, the click takes you off the site. You may see links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use our logo as part of a co-branding agreement. We do not control the contents or links that appear on these sites. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information. In addition, these sites or services, including their contents and links, may be constantly changing. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies and terms and conditions of use, or no policies at all. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party sites or services before providing any of them with your personal information.

Third Parties

Occasionally we may enter into relationships with other companies to provide additional features at this site. We may become business partners with other companies, other companies may become sponsors, or we may "co-brand" our site with others. Any personal information you provide when signing up at one of these co-branded pages may be shared with our third party partner.
