    Description of Customer Proprietary Network Information (“CPNI”)

    CPNI is proprietary information about you that includes (1) information on the quantity, technical configuration, type, destination, location, and amount of your use of ViaPath telecommunications services, that you make available to ViaPath solely by virtue of the carrier-customer relationship; and (2) information contained in the bills you receive concerning your telecommunications service.

Under the CPNI rules adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), you have the right, and ViaPath has the duty, to protect the confidentiality of CPNI.

    ViaPath’s Use of CPNI

    Under FCC rules, ViaPath may use your CPNI without your prior approval for certain purposes. Specifically, ViaPath may use, disclose, or permit access to your CPNI without your consent, either directly or through its agents, for the purpose of (1) initiating, rendering, billing, and collecting for ViaPath Service; (2) protecting ViaPath’s right or property, or protecting ViaPath users and other telecommunications carriers from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of, or subscription to, ViaPath services; (3) maintenance and repair; and (4) complying with the orders or subpoenas of a court of competent jurisdiction.

    As a leader in the corrections industry, ViaPath is continually developing new innovations in the fields of technology, education, and intelligence. From time to time, ViaPath may use and share your individually identifiable CPNI among its affiliates and agents to inform you about communications-related products and services or special promotions. Use of your individually identifiable CPNI enhances ViaPath’s ability to offer products and services that are tailored to your needs.

    You have 30 days from the date of this notice to inform us (see “Contacting ViaPath” above) if you do not wish ViaPath to use your individually identifiable CPNI for this purpose. If you do not so inform us, ViaPath will assume you consent to this use of your individually identifiable CPNI.

A denial of approval will not affect ViaPath’s provision of services to you.
