Customer Privacy

Allstream offers various communications-related services, including local and long distance service and telecommunications equipment. In order to better serve your communication needs, occasionally we would like to share your CPNI across product lines within Allstream. Allstream may also share your CPNI on a limited, as-needed basis with trusted agents and independent contractors that assist Allstream in providing you with communication-related services. These parties share a duty to protect your CPNI. Allstream will only share your CPNI with its agents and independent contractors with your explicit permission. Our use of CPNI may enhance our ability to offer products and services tailored to your specific needs. Allstream will not sell your CPNI to third parties without the appropriate authorization from you, or a law enforcement agency or court of law.
