Privacy Policy
At FuseWireless, we are committed to honoring and respecting your
individual privacy. The following paragraphs describe our privacy policies
regarding the personal information you provide us as well as information we
collect about how our visitors use our site.
Personal information needed for orders
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a
user must provide contact information (such as name,
shipping address, and e-mail address) and certain personal financial
information (such as credit card number and expiration date). This information
is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's
orders. Certain other personal information (social security number, date of
birth) is required by T-Mobile Wireless for credit approval and phone
activation, and is provided to that company as part of order processing.
In some instances, we
may supply this personal information (social security number, date of birth) to
an alternative credit provider, or to a wireless service other than T-Mobile.
Aside from information as to whether a potential subscriber has been approved
for credit, we do not have access to an applicant's credit information.
Finally, in certain instances a user may have accessed FuseWireless.com
through a third-party site, such as one of our Partner Sites. In that case, we
may need to share names and contact
information with our Partner Site or the third-party site. If your personal
information is needed to be shared, we will inform you at the point of collection
and provide you with an opportunity to tell us not to share your
information. You should also read the privacy policies of such third parties,
as this notice does not cover their use of such information.

If your personally identifiable information
changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may correct, update, or

containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to
any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes
their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie

saving time while on our site. If a
user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. Cookies can also enable
us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on
our site.
Some of our business
partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have
no access to or control over these cookies.

encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the
privacy statements of each and every
web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this
Web site.
Supplementation
of Information
In order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation to our
customers, it is necessary for us to
supplement the information we
receive with information from third party sources.
For example, to
determine if our customers qualify
for one of our credit cards, we use their name
and social security number to request a credit report. Once we determine a
user's credit-worthiness, this document
is destroyed.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on our Homepage so our users
are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under
circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use
personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at
the time it was collected, we will
notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not
we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in
accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
Email
We believe that your email address is private information and you
have our assurance that we do not rent or sell your email address to anyone. We
use your email address to send you order-related emails, like shipping
confirmations and order acknowledgments.
Choice/Opt-out
We provide
you the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having your personally identifiable
information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information. For example, if you purchase a
product/service but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material
from us, you can indicate your preference by sending us an email at privacy@fusewireless.com
