Platform Technologies collects some information automatically from all visitors to our website, including information about pages visited, each visitor’s computer’s IP address and browser type.

We also collect personally identifiable information that each visitor voluntarily provides to us through our site.
Information We Collect from Our Clients
Platform Technologies collects personally identifiable information from our clients, including names, addresses, billing/payment information, phone numbers, email addresses, and other information for business administration and service. Additionally, in the course of providing telephony services to our clients, Platform Technologies collects information about our client’s use of the services, including type of service and calling activity; that information is known as “Client Proprietary Network Information” or CPNI and is subject to special rules. In the course of providing other services, including data, cloud and wireless services, Platform Technologies also obtain information such as class or type of service, technical characteristics, billing records, location of service, IP address and other information.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information
Platform Technologies uses personally identifiable information to process client orders and to provide and bill for services. Platform Technologies also uses personally identifiable information that has been provided to us by a website visitor to carry out the purpose or respond to the request for which it was given, such as a request for information about our services. In addition, Platform Technologies may contact its clients and visitors to inform them about Platform Technologies’ products and services, or other related services offered by third parties with whom we have a relationship. Clients may opt out of such marketing communications at any time.

This Privacy Notice is intended for Platform Technologies to explain to Clients how we collect and use information received from each Client and Visitors to our website. Platform Technologies recognizes that as a Managed Solutions Provider, it must ensure the privacy of each client’s information.
Non-Personal Information received from Visitors – Platform Technologies automatically collects non-personally identifiable information from Visitors such as the IP address of the Visitor’s computer, the type of web browser used by the Visitor, the number and frequency of Visitors, the pages visited within the Platform Technologies website, as well as other information that does not specifically identify the Visitor, but may be used to identify the business entity to which the IP address is assigned.
Visitors may submit personally identifiable information in connection with certain activities or transactions. In cases where Visitors voluntarily respond to questions, submit comments, feedback or the like, Platform Technologies treats such submissions as non-confidential and non-proprietary, and any information contained therein is treated as Platform Technologies’ property. Accordingly, this information can be used for any purpose and such use neither requires compensation nor protection.
Except as indicated below, Platform Technologies will not sell, give away, or rent its Client’s personal information to any company outside of Platform Technologies.
Platform Technologies collects necessary information in its delivery of services to its Clients. This may include information regarding technology, as well as the name, address, telephone number and e-mail address of account administrators. Platform Technologies may also request federal tax ID information, order numbers as well as information regarding the individuals responsible for account administration for account security, verification or tax purposes. Other information including the class or type of service, technical characteristics, billing records and location of services may also be requested by Platform Technologies. This type of information is more commonly known as Client Proprietary Network Information (“CPNI”). CPNI does not include subscriber information – client’s name, address and telephone number, none of which are subject to CPNI regulations.
Even though Platform Technologies may use the foregoing information for service and account related matters, it may also use the collected information to seek client feedback, marketing and promotional purposes, statistical analysis and product development. Unless otherwise stated, client’s personal information will not be sold or shared with third parties.
Platform Technologies uses the information it collects to process orders and provision and/or bill for Platform Technologies services. This information may also be shared with third party vendors in order to provision and/or properly bill for orders. Platform Technologies or a Platform Technologies authorized agent may also use this client information to market and sell Platform Technologies products and services. Platform Technologies will not sell or trade a client’s personally identifiable information or CPNI unless Platform Technologies is authorized by the client to do so or in compliance with applicable law. Clients may request that Platform Technologies refrain from using personally identifiable information for marketing purposes by contacting Platform Technologies or clicking on the “unsubscribe” link that we include on all commercial emails sent by Platform Technologies. Be advised that this restriction will not eliminate all Platform Technologies marketing contacts.
Platform Technologies must disclose information when requested in order to comply with court rules, regulations, orders and subpoenas. Platform Technologies will also share information in order to prevent the security, integrity and unlawful use of our services, to repair network outages and in emergency situations (e.g.: 911 calls). Platform Technologies may monitor calls for Client Care purposes. Finally, Platform Technologies reserves the right to sell or transfer all information in connection with the sale or transfer of its business so long as the receiving party agrees to preserve the confidentiality of the information provided.
Client’s name and number may also be transmitted and displayed on a Caller ID device unless Client has elected to block such information. Please note that Caller ID Blocking does not prevent the display of a client’s number when you dial certain business numbers, 911, 900 numbers, or toll-free 800, 888, 877 or 866 numbers.
If you link to a third party site from the Platform Technologies site, any information you provide on that site and any use of that information is not under the control of Platform Technologies and not subject to this Privacy Policy.

Unless unencrypted transmission is authorized, Platform Technologies will use industry encryption methods to protect data transmission. Note that no security practice is foolproof and Platform Technologies cannot guarantee the security of its systems or databases, nor will Platform Technologies guarantee that information supplied by you will not be intercepted during transmission.
