What Information We Collect and How We Use It
Location Information

We collect location information in order to improve your shopping experience. If you shop for a wireless rate plan, we record this information via a cookie so that we may display only services that are associated with the rate plan.

Information from IP addresses is used to help administer our Web site, to examine overall traffic trends, and to help us improve our site and make your browsing and purchasing experience more enjoyable. IP addresses are not linked to any personally identifiable information.

Personally Identifiable Information

When you place an order for products or services we collect certain types of personally identifiable information required to fulfill those products or services, including

1. contact information (such as name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number);
2. Payment information (such as credit card number);
3. hID verification information (such as credit card number, date of birth, Social Security Number, or Driver's License Number).

We only collect ID verification information if it is required by Rogers Wireless to process your application. For those customers applying for a new wireless service account, we submit your data into Rogers Wireless's system so that the carrier may perform a standard industry credit check. Aside from approval status information, we do not have access to an applicant's credit-history information.

If you would like to place an order but are reluctant to provide this information online, you may provide it to us by telephone during normal business hours. Telephone agents are available via our Toll Free number at 1 866 900 2040.

We use the contact information you provide to communicate with you, such as to send you order confirmations, respond to your inquires, provide you with important product update, warranty, or safety information.

Sharing of Your Information

Please be assured that any third parties who have access to the contact information you provide, including our business affiliates have agreed to protect it in a manner that is consistent with this privacy policy.

To fulfill your requests for products and services, we may need to share some of your personally identifiable information with Rogers Wireless from which you have requested service. More specifically, when you place an order for a new wireless account, we will share contact and ID verification information required by Rogers Wireless to provide you with its services. The wireless provider may use this information for credit approval, service activation, and from time to time, for its own marketing purposes. You should consult Rogers Wireless's respective privacy policies, as this Notice does not cover their use of your information. Also, your shipping information will be shared with a shipping company such as Canada Post and UPS, for the purposes of delivering your order.
