WirelessWhale.com is committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors' personally identifiable information. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is used at our site.
Personally Identifiable Information
When you place an order for products or services we collect certain types of personally identifiable information including (1) contact information, such as name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number; (2) credit card and ID verification information, such as credit card number, date of birth, Social Security Number, and Drivers License Number, and (3) information about your employer.
We use this information to process your request for wireless service with the carrier, which includes running a credit history check for wireless service activation. We perform a standard industry credit check by inputting your data into the wireless carriers system. Once the carrier runs the check, it informs us of an applicants approval status so that we can either process the order where the credit is approved or notify those applicants who have not been approved of their status. Aside from approval status information, we do not have access to an applicant's credit-history information.
We also use collected information to communicate with you, such as to notify you (through e-mails and newsletters) about updates to products, to send you order confirmations, or to provide you with important product warranty or safety information.
In addition, we use contact information you provide to respond to your inquiries about our offerings, and to offer you, by means of e-mail or through our newsletter, additional products, programs or services that we believe may be of interest to you.
Sharing of your Information
To fulfill your requests for products and services, we may need to share some of your personally identifiable information with the wireless provider from which you would like to request service. More specifically, when you place an order for wireless services, we will share names, contact information, and other information that is necessary for the wireless carrier to provide you with its services. The provider may use this information for credit approval, service activation, and from time to time, for its own marketing purposes. You should consult the wireless providers' respective privacy policies, as this Notice does not cover their use of your information.
