| Customer Information |
Usenet-News requires certain information at the time of signup and
in the course of providing customer support. This information is necessary
for us to provide quality service and support, and to prevent abuse.
This information is never released to others, unless we are ordered by
a criminal
court
of
competent
jurisdiction to do so. To civil courts we do not release any personal
information under any circumstances.
Usenet-News has never sold or rented customer lists or any
other
customer information, and Usenet-News will never do so. Usenet-News does NOT store financial details such as Credit Card data. Our payment gateways may store some data to be able to process recurring payments, but Usenet-News does not.

| Usage Information |
| Usenet-News monitors our servers to the extent necessary to ensure that
high standards of maintenance are met. Usenet-News does not monitor or
record your activities online. We do not monitor which newsgroups you post
to
or download from or what you put in news articles that you post, but log
post data so we, if we receive an abuse complaint, can identify the poster
of a specific post. This means; we can tie a post to a poster, but without
first getting information about the post we can not know what is posted
by a specific user. |
| |
| Civil Investigations |
Usenet-News will not release a customer's personal information or usage
information to investigators, attorneys, or agencies unless we are directed
to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction in the matter. If there
is a hearing in court, the customer will be notified so they will have
an opportunity to contest the surrender of personal information.
|
| |
| Criminal Investigations |
| Usenet-News cooperates fully with law enforcement agencies, yet there must
still be a court order before Usenet-News surrenders customer information.
Usenet-News will, when requested by law enforcement
entities, acknowledge the existence of personal customer information, and
when requested, provide the technical language to include in the court
order, "particularly describing ... the property to be seized." In
a criminal investigation Usenet-News is under a duty not to divulge the fact
of the investigation to the customer. |
| |
| Usenet-News Privacy Policy |
| Usenet-News holds personal information about you in the strictest confidence
and does not sell or rent that information. Usenet-News will not release or
divulge any customer information unless ordered to do so by a court of
law. |
