Applicable law authorizes Greenlight to use the fiber system to collect personally identifiable information about our subscribers as necessary in order to render Greenlight services and service features and other services and to detect unauthorized reception or use of Greenlight services and service features. Applicable law prohibits us from using the fiber system to collect personally identifiable information concerning any subscriber for any purposes other than those listed above without the subscriber’s prior written or electronic consent. When you establish an account for Greenlight services we collect information such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, as well as information used for credit checks, billing, and payment, and other information we may need to establish and service an account. During the initial provisioning of Greenlight services, and any subsequent changes or updates to that provisioning, Greenlight collects technical information about your computer hardware and software, cable modem and/or other cable service-related devices, and customization settings and preferences. If you rent your residence, we may have a record of whether landlord permission was required prior to installing our cable facilities as well as your landlord’s name and address. Greenlight also collects personally identifiable information about you when you communicate with us for support, maintenance, and billing, send us e-mails, respond to our surveys or e-mails, engage in chat sessions with us, register for information, or participate in promotions or contests, for example. In addition, Greenlight may combine personally identifiable information, which we collect as part of our regular business records, with personally identifiable information obtained from third parties for the purpose of creating an enhanced personal database to use in marketing and other activities related to Greenlight services and our other services.

We also monitor the performance of our service and your service connection in order to manage, maintain, and improve Greenlight services and your connection to it. We (or our third party providers) use tools to help prevent and block “spam” e-mails, viruses, spyware, and other harmful or unwanted communications and programs on Greenlight services. These tools may automatically scan your e-mails, video mails, instant messages, file attachments, and other files and communications in order to help us protect you and Greenlight services against these harmful or unwanted communications and programs. However, these tools do not collect or disclose personally identifiable information about you.
