Private information: TDS does not share customer e-mail addresses or fax numbers, except in the following cases: (1) TDS affiliates providing products or services to our customer. Unless otherwise stated, these companies do not have any right to use any of the information provided to them beyond what is necessary to assist TDS. (2) The customer consents to such disclosure. (3) Disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with the law or with legal process; (b) protect and defend TDS’ rights and property; (c) protect TDS’ employees, subscribers or registrants from misuse or unauthorized use of TDS-phone.com; or (d) protect the personal safety or property of TDS employees, subscribers, registrants or the public.
Personal information: A customer’s IP address, name, mailing address, telephone number and any optional information they provide (such as job title or other demographics), is considered to be information generally available to others. TDS may provide this information to business partners and select third parties only when it is necessary to do so to assist the client with products or services.

If a customer provides false membership, subscription or registration information, or if a customer attempts to pose as someone else, both private and personal information about that customer may be disclosed as part of any investigation into his or her actions.
Aggregate Information: TDS may provide aggregate usage or tracking information to third parties. This aggregate information does not contain visitor-specific information that reveals the identity of a member, subscriber or registrant. TDS may share this information with anyone since it does not personally identify the customer and is not correlated to the customer’s personal information.
