What Information Does MOBILTELEFONER Collect?

PLEASE NOTE: THE TYPE OF DATA COLLECTED BY MOBILTELEFONER WILL VARY WITH YOUR USE OF THE SITE.
To improve the quality of the products and services MOBILTELEFONER offers to you and to operate the Site, MOBILTELEFONER collects various personal identifying information (as described below) from different parts of its Site. MOBILTELEFONER gathers most information during the registration process to use MOBILTELEFONER’s services and products. But, MOBILTELEFONER requests personal identifying information at other times, including, but not limited to, when you report a problem with our Site, when you complete survey forms, when you enter into a transaction through the Site, when you request to receive communications from MOBILTELEFONER, and when you post information on the Site.
Below, we provide examples of the types of personal identifying information MOBILTELEFONER collects through the Site. Again, please be aware that the type of data collected by MOBILTELEFONER will vary with your use of the Site.
Contact Information: MOBILTELEFONER requests or requires contact and other personal identifying information, such as your name, address, phone number, facsimile number, and e-mail address.
Demographic Information: MOBILTELEFONER collects demographic and profile data (for example, job title, job position, and technical computer or Internet connection information) at our Site for management and monitoring purposes and to improve the quality of MOBILTELEFONER’s services. In addition, MOBILTELEFONER collects demographic and profile data in connection with surveys it conducts for its own internal administration purposes or for release to third parties.
Transactional Information: MOBILTELEFONER maintains a database of aggregated information about the transactions on the Site (e.g., offer/request data, product/service categories, and product/service prices).
Technical Information: We also collect Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from all users of our Site and may catalog the type of computer, browser, or operating system used by the user.
The Site offers two different levels of service: (1) a members only section (the “Members Only Section”); and (2) publicly available information areas. Consequently, until you register to access a Members Only area, you are able to browse the Site without providing any personal identifying information. In particular, you do not need to register with MOBILTELEFONER or submit any personal identifying information to view information in those sections of the Site that are publicly accessible, such as the About MOBILTELEFONER, Public Policy and Newsroom sections. Entry will be permitted without any need to login, although your browser may tell us what type of computer and operating system you are using as well as other kinds of technical information.
Only the Members Only Section requires that you register with MOBILTELEFONER. Accordingly, if you wish to become a member, you will need to agree to provide your personal identifying information to be used as discussed below. In addition, if you wish to receive information from MOBILTELEFONER, order products and services from MOBILTELEFONER, be included in the MOBILTELEFONER member directory, and/or participate and receive the results of surveys, then MOBILTELEFONER will need to receive your personal identifying information, and in particular, your name and e-mail address for communication purposes. Please note, however, that the MOBILTELEFONER member directory lists a registered member’s name, e-mail address, and certain demographic information such as title, employer, office phone number, and office address. When you provide personal identifying information to MOBILTELEFONER, you share that information only with MOBILTELEFONER, unless (i) you are using MOBILTELEFONER’s services as a part of a third party Web site (in which case information sharing between such third party and MOBILTELEFONER will take place in order for the third party to offer MOBILTELEFONER’s services); (ii) you are completing a transaction involving third party services, such as viewing the MOBILTELEFONER scorecard through CapWiz, in which case information sharing will be necessary to enable the transaction to take place; or (iii) it is specifically stated otherwise.
