Mountain Rural Telephone Cooperative Corporation MRTC Total Command Mobile Application Privacy Policy

What is covered by this Privacy Policy


This Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) covers Mountain Telephone’s privacy and security policies for personal information collected by Mountain Telephone in connection with the MRTC Total Command mobile application (the “App”). For this Privacy Policy, personal information refers to information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person with reference to a identifier, such as a name, an email address, an online identifier such as login credentials, or any other identifier by which that natural person may be contacted online or offline.

Mountain Telephone understands the importance of privacy and security and is committed to providing a secure environment to protect the personal and private information provided by you in connection with your use of the App. Accordingly, this Privacy Policy sets out:



Your Choices About Our Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Information


The provision of the information described in this Privacy Policy is necessary in order for you to use the App.

Your information is retained and used as described in this Privacy Policy. In the event you delete your account for the App in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, your information will be deleted within 30 days of the deletion of such account or within

such other timeline as may be mandated by applicable law. You will no longer be able to access the App when your account is deleted.

You may set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If cookies are disabled or refused or if you block the use of other tracking technologies, some parts of the App may then be inaccessible or not function properly.


Accessing and Correcting Information


You can (a) access and review your information, including personal information, and (b) correct your information, by logging into the App and visiting the settings page.


Data Security


All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls. Mountain Telephone utilizes mechanisms such as intrusion detection systems, intrusion prevention systems, firewalls and encryption to secure information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

Mountain Telephone deploys Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) to alert and proactively contain potential threats. Enhanced security visibility and coverage is enabled through added layers of firewall and IDS beyond the network perimeter. Management connections to servers are always authenticated and encrypted via Secure Shell (SSH) when administration access is required for troubleshooting, patch management, and upgrades.

Mountain Telephone runs automated vulnerability scanning on all perimeter systems to identify potential security risks. Scanning applications are regularly updated to remain current and up to date on important security vulnerabilities. Patches are applied to all relevant systems, unless a compensating control is implemented.

Mountain Telephone uses a variety of industry-standard security technologies and best practices to help protect information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. All data stored on the Mountain Telephone systems is encrypted following industry standards using the strongest keys and ciphers. All communications with the App are protected with industry standard security protocols.

You control access to your account and, as set forth in the Agreement, you are obligated to keep your login credentials and passwords secure and protected and maintained as confidential. Although Mountain Telephone implements measures that are reasonably designed to protect the you, information may nevertheless be transmitted outside of Mountain Telephone’s systems. Any such transmission of information is at your own risk, and Mountain Telephone is not responsible for any circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures provided.


Changes to this Privacy Policy


Mountain Telephone may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If Mountain Telephone makes material changes to how Mountain Telephone treats personal

information under this Privacy Policy, Mountain Telephone will notify you by email or other communication.
