Cochrane Cooperative Telephone Company (“CCT”) places a high value on personal privacy and therefore, will not share or sell your personal account information collected online, with third parties, other than to CCT, or to trusted vendors which include payment processors, content providers, shipping vendors and the like who perform these essential functions on behalf of CCT.  Information collected may include name, address, voice number, personal computer specifications and billing information such as a credit card number if required for service. The information collected is used to provide a tailored service to you to better manage your account. This may include responding to your requests and communicating with you electronically. In addition, CCT may collect information about you from our trusted vendors, such as updated delivery and address information, so that we can correct our records and deliver your purchases or communicate with you more efficiently.
