In the course of operating the Globacom Services, we may collect two types of information

Personal Information is personally identifiable information, such as your

by us when you choose to provide it to us when registering for a Globacom Service,
such as when you choose to subscribe to a Globacom Service, enter a Globacom promotion
or choose to receive a Globacom newsletter. In addition, if you choose to contact
any of our customer service representatives, we may keep a record of that correspondence
so that we may fully address the subject matter. We may also receive Personal Information
from our business partners and other third parties, provided that such third parties
confirm to us that you have permitted them to share such information.
Non-Personal Information is information of an anonymous nature, such as an
Internet Protocol Address (IP Address), the domain used to access a Globacom Service,
and the type and version of browser or operating system being used. Aggregate information,
such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g. average age or geographical allocation
of our users), number of visitors and average time spent on a Globacom Service,
is also considered Non-Personal Information.
Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by us in the course of operating
the Globacom Services. For example, our Web servers may automatically collect Non-Personal

a Web Beacon when you choose to visit a Globacom Service. Non-Personal Information
is used by Globacom as described here.
