Sharing Your Information
SSW does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information under the following circumstances:
Service Providers: We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist in delivering our Services, such as billing processors, customer support providers, or network maintenance teams. These third parties are contractually bound to safeguard your information and use it only for purposes of providing the agreed-upon services.
Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information in response to legal requests, subpoenas, court orders, or regulatory requirements, and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, property, or personal safety, or that of our customers or others.
Business Transfers: If SSW undergoes a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such transfer and any potential changes to this Privacy Policy.
Data Security
We are committed to protecting your personal information.

Additionally, if you contact SSW via Site, telephone or in person, SSW will ask you for verification of your identification and account.
CPNI Verification/Authentication Process:
To protect your CPNI, only individuals listed on the account can access information. We will first verify your name, followed by your service address.

For added security, further details like recent billing amounts may be required. We will not disclose CPNI through unsecured channels.
SSW will not send an email or text, nor should Customer respond to any email or text communications asking for any sensitive or confidential personal information, such as social security number, bank account or credit card account number, or a driver’s license number.
