We at your local Time Warner Cable-affiliated cable operator ("Operator," "we" or "us") are providing this Notice to inform you of our practices regarding personally identifiable information that may be collected in the course of providing services to you over our cable system, including video programming services and ISP Services ("cable-based services"). This notice is also being provided on behalf of Time Warner Cable's affiliated ISP's whose services are being provided over our cable systems (America Online and Road Runner and any other affiliated ISP Service which we may offer in the future (collectively, "Affiliated ISP's")). This Notice is being provided in accordance with the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 (the "Cable Act"). In addition to the Cable Act, this Notice also makes reference to the Electronic Communications Policy Act of 1986, as amended ("ECPA"), and the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of 1998 ("Copyright Act"), which are also applicable if you are a subscriber to an ISP service provided by Operator over its cable system (an "ISP Service").
This Notice pertains to personally identifiable information about you that you have furnished to Operator, or that Operator has collected, in connection with the provision of cable-based services to you. The provisions of this Notice also apply as indicated herein to personally identifiable information that you have furnished to Affiliated ISP's or that they have collected in connection with their provision of ISP Service. Personally identifiable information does not include aggregate data that does not identify you.
The Cable Act's subscriber privacy provisions apply to cable operators, as defined in the privacy provisions of the Cable Act ("Cable Operators"), providing cable and other services over their systems. Our Affiliated ISP's intend to conduct their privacy practices as set forth in this Notice, which provides subscribers to their ISP Services (i.e., their ISP services as provided by Operator over its cable system) with information required by the privacy provisions of the Cable Act, whether or not these Affiliated ISP's qualify as Cable Operators. Our Affiliated ISP's may provide subscribers with other information concerning their general privacy practices through additional policies and notices, which will continue to apply unless inconsistent with this Notice. When using our Affiliated ISP's, you may wish to review these additional policies and notices.
The provisions of this Notice do not apply to non-affiliated, third party ISP's (e.g., EarthLink) whose ISP Services are provided on Operator's cable systems. These non-affiliated ISP's may have their own privacy policies, which you may want to review. You should also be aware that most of the content and applications provided through your ISP Service are provided by third parties, and that by accessing the online content of these third parties you may cause or enable the transmission by the system to them of personally identifiable information. The policies described in this Notice do not apply to such third parties. These third parties may have their own privacy policies, which you may also want to review.
Seven areas are covered by this Notice:
1. The nature of personally identifiable information collected about you and the way such information is used;
2. The nature, frequency, and purpose of any disclosure that may be made of such information;
3. Disclosure of information to governmental entities and through legal process;
4. The period of time such information will be maintained;
5. Your online communications on your ISP Service;
6. The times and place you may have access to the information collected; and
7. Your rights under the Cable Act.
