Versicom Communications is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites or other services operated by third parties that are linked to or integrated with the Versicom Communications Services or for the privacy practices of third party Internet advertising companies.

Versicom Communications may use cookies and similar tools to customize the content and advertising you receive based on the Profile Information you have provided. Profile Information you provide in structured profile fields or questions (multiple choice questions like “Marital Status,” “Education” and “Children”) (“Structured Profile Information”), information you add to open-ended profile fields and questions (“Non-Structured Profile Information”) and other non-private information about you may also be used to customize the online ads you encounter to those we believe are aligned with your interests.

Some of the advertisements that appear on Versicom Communications Services may also be delivered to you by third party Internet advertising companies.
