Data related to the service you are receiving through Antech Communications, such as account numbers, service type, and technical support logs. This data is collected via forms, cookies, and interactions with our platform or customer service team.

2. Why We Collect Information

We collect data to:

  • Provide Services: Your personal and service data is required to activate new services, process orders, plan upgrades, and execute account changes such as cancellations.
  • Customer Support: We use your contact and service data to provide technical support and resolve any issues.
  • Billing and Payments: Your financial data is used to process payments for services, including our execution charges, which are clearly disclosed on our website and range from $49.99 to $199.99.
  • Improvement and Marketing: With your consent, we use non-identifying data to improve our services, assess site traffic, and offer promotions aligned with your preferences. We ensure that any data collected is transparent, and we fully comply with Google's guidelines by not misrepresenting any element of our services or the fees associated with them.

3. Third-Party Service Providers

Antech Communications partners with third-party vendors, including payment processors and JNA-certified service providers such as AT&T, Verizon, Spectrum, Xfinity, Dish, and others. While we ensure they adhere to strict privacy standards, we encourage you to review their privacy policies for more details about their data-handling practices.

4. Mobile Information and Data Sharing Policy

Important Notice: No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

When you provide your mobile phone number through our contact forms or services, this information is collected solely for the purpose of providing you with requested services and support. We maintain strict confidentiality regarding your SMS consent and mobile data, ensuring it is never used for unauthorized marketing purposes or shared with external parties.

5. Transparency in Pricing and Billing

Antech Communications prides itself on full transparency regarding pricing and charges. In compliance with Google's Ads Policy, we clearly state all charges for services upfront:

  • Execution Fees: Charges for services like new connections, plan changes, or cancellations range from $49.99 to $199.99 and are prominently displayed before you commit.
  • Separate Billing: Execution fees charged by Antech Communications are separate from charges by your service provider (such as Verizon, Xfinity, or Spectrum), which will be outlined in your agreement with the provider.
  • Subscription Fees: All recurring charges are clearly explained in advance to avoid any confusion.

We do not engage in any misleading or dishonest pricing practices, ensuring that all costs are transparent to the user before they make a commitment.

6. Data Security

We take rigorous measures to secure your personal information:

  • Encryption: All sensitive data, such as financial and personal information, is encrypted during transmission and storage.
  • Access Control: Only authorized employees with specific roles have access to your data, and they are bound by confidentiality agreements.
  • Secure Payment Gateways: We use industry-standard, third-party payment processors to handle transactions securely.

If there is ever a data breach, Antech Communications will notify you and relevant authorities as per legal obligations.

7. Your Rights and Control

You have the right to:

  • Access and Correct Your Data: At any time, you can request to view, update, or correct your personal information.
  • Request Data Deletion: You can request that your personal data be erased from our systems if it is no longer required for the services you use.
