Under the law, Endeavor has the duty to protect this information, thus, will not use or share this information unless you give us permission to do so.

Endeavor reserves the right, afforded by law, to use your CPNI to market additional services to you. The Federal Communications Commission has adopted rules staging that telecommunications related services or features to you if you have requested that the CPNI be considered “restricted/opt-out” for this purpose. If you wish to have your CPNI “restricted/opt-out,” call Endeavor Communications at 765-795-4261. Tell us that you wish to restrict our use of your customer note that restricting your CPNI will not eliminate all of our marketing contacts with CPNI. Also, we are permitted to use your CPNI to contact you about additional services when we already provide you that same type service. Finally, even if your CPNI is restricted, we may still use it to market any other telecommunications services or features with your permission or if you contact us and ask about them.

SECTION 12

INDIRECT END USER PHONE CONTACT INFORMATION (PERSONAL IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION)

GigTel acts as a data processor with regard to indirect end user personal identifiable information and our Clients act as the data controller of such data. In the course of GigTel processing and protection of such data, all use will be in conformity with the data controllers instructions.

Specifically, only when enabled via system permission on GigTel Mobile Android and GigTel Mobile iOS, GigTel shows personal contacts within the respective application. When the user sends an SMS message to one of his/her phone contacts, or when the user initiates a call to one of his/her phone contacts, the phone number is sent securely through the GigTel API. GigTel does not store this number with any other PII, and it cannot be directly or indirectly attributed to any person or persons; GigTel stores only the phone number and pertinent metadata so as to be compliant with all applicable state and federal laws, and GigTel does not share this data with any advertisers or third parties under any circumstances. A user can revoke phone contact access on his/her mobile device at any time, and his/her app experience is not hindered or interrupted.

GigTel Mobile Android and iOS also uses Gravatar, only when enabled via Settings and UIConfigs, which is a service that provides avatar images linked to the MD5 hash of the user’s email address. This means that, only when Gravatar use is enabled, we hash each contact’s email address and send it to Gravatar to try and retrieve an avatar image. MD5 hashes cannot be directly or indirectly attributed to any person or persons, and we only send the MD5 hash to Gravatar, never the email address in plain text. As with phone contacts, a user can revoke Gravatar access at any time in Settings or via UIConfig, and his/her app experience is not hindered or interrupted.
