These tools do not collect or disclose personally identifiable information about you.
Service Providers
We contract with third parties to provide specific services and features for the Service. For example, our newsgroups are provided by a third party. When you use these particular services, generally you provide your name and specific Service-related information directly to the third party service provider. If you become a customer of these third parties directly, then you will be subject to their terms of service and privacy policies. You should carefully read their terms and policies to understand how they may use personally identifiable information about you. Except as otherwise specified in this Policy, we will not provide our advertisers, content providers, or these other third parties with personally identifiable information about you unless we have received your consent first.

We do this in order to authenticate access to certain features of the Service, and to enable certain communications between Service subscribers. Aside from this reference by the cookie, Wi-Fiber does not store your name or other personal information in cookies. Some of our business relationships are with vendors who may use cookies (for example, search engines) or in connection with their own advertisers and other business partners. However, we have no access to or control over these third party cookies. For more information about how these vendors and their business partners use cookies, and how you may be able to “optout” of those cookies, read the privacy policy that applies to each vendor’s Web site. This Policy covers the use of cookies by Wi-Fiber under the wi-fiber.io domain; it does not cover the use of cookies by any other party or Web site unless stated otherwise.
