At Frontier, safeguarding our customers’ privacy is a priority. This privacy policy aims to inform you about our practices regarding the collection, use, sharing, and protection of personal information related to our consumer and residential services, which include high-speed internet, home phone, multichannel video, Wi-Fi Hot Spot, and Frontier Secure services.

Separate privacy policies may apply to services provided by third-party providers that you purchase from us, and we encourage you to review their policies and practices.

We utilize the information we collect to manage and enhance our services, bill for our offerings, understand customer preferences, address inquiries, and maintain the integrity of our network.
Cookies and tracking information allow us to personalize your experience and analyze website navigation. We may share your personal information with third-party agents and vendors to assist us in delivering services, and we ensure they protect your information in accordance with this policy.
We may also share your information when permitted by you, as mandated by law, to investigate claims, or during business transitions such as mergers or acquisitions. We do not sell personal information and may share anonymized data with third parties to enhance service delivery.
Limiting Information Sharing
You have several options regarding how we handle your information:
Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI): You may limit our use and sharing of your CPNI, which includes details about your telecommunications services. You can restrict CPNI use for marketing by contacting us, and such restrictions will remain in place until you notify us otherwise.
Online Advertising Choices: For more information about interest-based advertising and ways to prevent such companies from using your data, you can manage cookie settings via your internet browser.
Do Not Call: Federal regulations allow you to add your phone number to the National Do Not Call List to prevent telemarketing calls. Frontier also has an internal Do Not Call List.
Marketing Emails: You can opt out of receiving marketing emails from us by following the provided instructions in our communications.
Information Protection
We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and physical measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. While we strive for high security, no system can be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized attempts to access your data.
We retain personally identifiable and sensitive records only as long as necessary for legitimate business purposes.

Under the Cable Act, you are entitled to know specific information about the personally identifiable information we collect. This includes how we use your information, the circumstances under which we disclose it, and your rights related to that information.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information to comply with legal processes, but we will notify you when possible if such disclosure occurs.
