- Email Programs. On occasion, Cincinnati Bell may elect to contact subscribers by email about forthcoming Services offerings or solicit subscriber assistance with our ongoing customer care and performance improvement programs. All such contacts will consist of a single, brief email describing the Services offered or customer care/Services improvement initiative. Subscribers will be given options as to how to respond with respect to the content of the email. With each such email, you will be given the opportunity to opt out of future emails of a similar nature.
- Subscriber Surveys. Cincinnati Bell is committed to providing outstanding customer service.

- Notice of New Services. Cincinnati Bell regularly adds new services and new features to its existing Services. Cincinnati Bell may contact its subscribers via email with information regarding these new Services. Cincinnati Bell provides its subscribers with the option to subscribe to these new features or Services, which will require some affirmative action on the part of the subscriber if they will increase subscribers' costs or fees. If the new features or Services will not increase the subscribers' costs or fees, Cincinnati Bell may provide subscribers with an opportunity decline installation of the new features or Services if feasible. In both cases, Cincinnati Bell will provide instructions in the email as to how to subscribe to or decline the Services, as well as how to opt out of receiving similar notices of new Services and features in the future where such new Services or features are optional.

Cookies themselves do not typically contain any personally identifiable information. We may analyze the information derived from these cookies and match this information with data provided by you or another party. We may provide our analysis and certain non-personally identifiable information to third parties for marketing research purposes, but this will not involve disclosing any of your personally identifiable information. Please note that advertisers that serve advertisements on our Website may also use their own cookies which are subject to the advertiser's privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.
