Connecting Communities to the World 

Slic Network Solutions, Inc. (Slic) is committed to protecting its Broadband/DSL Internet service customers’ privacy. Users should review this privacy policy to better understand Slic’s views and practices, and how they pertain to them as customers of the company’s web service.   Slic may collect two types of information: personal information and non‐personal information. “Personal information” refers to information that is particular to you, such as, your name, address, phone number, fax number, and e‐mail address. “Non‐personal information” refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. This information may include the company site’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that you just came from, what browser you are using and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address.  

 

How do we collect information from you?

 

Slic does not collect personal information on this site without your knowledge and active participation. In general, you can visit our site without divulging any personal information; however, there are areas of this site that might require personal information in order to contact the company directly, specifically, when registering e‐mails, obtaining remote access, and contacting online technical support.   Information is collected on this site in the following ways: 

 

• Browsing our site

  • Slic may collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to gather broad demographic information, and to monitor the level of activity on our site.

Your web browser may allow you to be notified when you are receiving a cookie, giving you the choice to accept it or not.

  • As noted above, on this site, you are given the opportunity to send e‐mail to us. Slic retain information in any e‐mail that you send to us, such as your name, e‐mail address, address, telephone number, etc. Slic may periodically send you e‐mails or other company information.

How is your personal information used?

 

Slic hopes to serve as the starting point for all its customers’ local online needs. More importantly, it wants to deliver a compelling online experience that will keep customers coming back to visit the service again and again. The company uses the information supplied to it as a means to personalize portions of the service. Some of these personalized services are made available directly by the company, while others may be offered by its content partners. In addition, the company analyzes and evaluates customer preferences, comments, and criticisms of its offerings in order to make improvements to the present and future versions of the service.  

Slic uses the personal information it collects to provide you with information or samples that you have requested. In addition, we use the non‐personal information we collect to provide you with a better site experience in the future. The company does not rent, sell or trade personal information you provide us to any third party.

​

With whom do we share your information?

​

As described above, some of your information may be shared with third parties by navigating to the third party web site. In addition and with your prior authorization, we may, in the future, need to share certain personal information with other affiliated companies with whom we have established business relationships.   Slic will never willfully disclose individually identifiable information about its customers to by third party without first receiving that customer’s permission unless believes in good faith that the law requires it, or to protect the rights or property of the company. 

 

How does Slic protect your personal information?

​

Slic takes reasonable precautions to protect your personal information against unauthorized access by storing the information on a secure server, which is accessible only by authorized personnel.   Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and we will not be held liable should a third party illegally obtain your personal information. While we have made significant efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.   The company site does not knowingly collect information about children and the majority of its site is not specifically directed to children. Slic believes that children should get their parents’ consent before giving out any personal information. Slic encourages parents and legal guardians to participate in their child’s experience on its web site. Children should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to Slic, or to anyone on the Internet.
