Information Collected and Used By Towerstream
Visiting Our Web site. Except as otherwise provided in this policy or in other written
documentation or policies that may be provided to you regarding our services or Web site, the
only personally identifiable information we collect about visitors to our Web site is provided
to us voluntarily by you. "Personally identifiable information" generally refers to information
that tells us specifically who you are, including your name, company name, street address,
email address, billing address, other service account information, and other financial
information. In general, you can visit our Web site without telling us who you are or revealing
any personally identifiable information about yourself. Our Web servers may use "cookies"
(described below) to collect information about visitors such as your domain name, host from which
you access the Internet, the IP address of your computer, and your browser software and operating
system. This information may be aggregated anonymously to generate statistical data to measure
such things as the number of visits, average time spent on the site, number of pages viewed,
and methods by which our site was found. Towerstream may use such information to evaluate the
use of our site and to continuously improve the content and services being provided.
Feedback. At times we may ask you for contact information or conduct on-line surveys in
order to better understand your needs. If we wish to use this information other than as set forth

steps to safeguard this information from unauthorized access. However, any aggregated anonymous data
that you send to us such as your questions, suggestions, ideas or other creative material ("Feedback")
belongs to us and will not be treated as confidential. We may use, reproduce, adapt, distribute,
display, disclose or create derivative works from Feedback without acknowledgement or compensation
to you.

and to manage the internal operations and security of our Web site consistent with the terms of use
and policies established from time to time governing this site. Such purpose may involve the disclosure
of such information to unaffiliated companies or vendors where necessary to and for the limited purpose
of processing your request, processing a transaction authorized by you or providing you with products
or services. Furthermore, we may use, disclose or transfer certain personally identifiable information
or other information about you (i) to provide you enhanced services; (ii) to market to you services or
products among the categories of services or products you currently subscribe; (iii) to obtain a credit

accountants, and regulators; (vii) in connection with a sale, acquisition or merger of Towerstream or
our assets or (viii) for other legally permissible purposes. We may also share aggregated anonymous

purposes.

information related to your telecommunications services account with us such as to whom, where and when
you make calls is CPNI. CPNI is protected by specific federal laws and regulations and as such we are

respects. Without your consent, we will only share or disclose your CPNI (i) to market to you services
or products among the categories of services or products you currently subscribe, (ii) to initiate, render,
bill and collect our telecommunications services, (iii) to protect you or other carriers from illegal
or fraudulent use of, or subscription to, our services or to protect our rights or property, and (iv)
for other legally permissible purposes.
Access to This Information

or subsequently obtain your approval, we will not make any personally identifiable information that is
gathered on our site available to unaffiliated organizations for commercial purposes unrelated to the
business of Towerstream.
Certain federal, state and local laws or government regulations may require us to disclose personally
identifiable information about you. In these circumstances, we will use reasonable efforts to disclose
only the information required by law, subpoena or court order to be disclosed.
