Customer Privacy Notice
Last revised: June 30, 2026

This Customer Privacy Notice describes our practices with respect to information Breezeline collects, uses, shares, and protects as part of the services we provide to our customers (“customer,” “subscriber,” “you” or “your”). The terms “Breezeline,” “us,” “we” or “our” refer to the Breezeline entity that provides service to you. This Customer Privacy Notice applies to Breezeline cable TV, Internet and phone service subscribers and their use of MyAccount portal, the Online Payment portal and the ECare portal. Use of Breezeline’s website at www.breezeline.com and its subdomains (including the MyAccount portal available through the website), mobile applications, and their various related features are also governed by Breezeline’s Website and Mobile Application User Agreement.

Some states have enacted laws, which provide their state residents the rights to receive certain disclosures regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information about them, as well as rights to access, correct, delete, obtain a portable copy, and limit disclosure of personal information, (including obtaining any inferences derived from their data and a list of specific third parties to whom their data was sold).

Those laws further require Breezeline to make certain public statements regarding its data collection and sharing practices:

To the extent Breezeline maintains and uses de-identified data of its customers (referred to as de-identified data in the sections below), it does so without attempting to re-identify the data.
Personal data is not collected, used, or sold to train large language models.

For more information, residents of Connecticut, New Hampshire and Maryland can visit the Additional Privacy Rights for Residents in Connecticut, New Hampshire and Maryland.

Additionally, Section 631 of the Federal Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, as amended (the “Cable Act”), provides certain protections to you as a subscriber to cable service or other services provided by Breezeline. In accordance with the Cable Act, this Customer Privacy Notice explains the following:

the limitations imposed by the Cable Act upon Breezeline in its collection and disclosure of personally identifiable information about you;
the type of personally identifiable information we collect about you;
how we use your personally identifiable information;
under what circumstances we may disclose your personally identifiable information and to whom we may
disclose it;
the duration for which we maintain your personally identifiable information; and
how you may access your personally identifiable information in our possession.

Information We Collect
Breezeline collects information about our customers that includes personally identifiable information of a specific person. We also collect information about your use of our products, services, and websites. In addition, we collect demographic and other data about customers from third-party data sources. The types of information we collect are set forth below.

Registration information. When you register with us or sign up for our products or services, we require you to provide to us information about yourself, including all or some of the following: your name, service and billing address, e-mail address, username or nickname, telephone number, billing, and credit records. Bank account and credit card numbers used to pay for our services are provided to a third payment processor that we use to facilitate payments as described in more detail below.

Account and technical information. In order to provide you with services, we collect and maintain some or all of the following: your account number, username, billing, payment and deposit history, services to which you subscribe, maintenance and complaint information, the quantity, device identifiers and network addresses of equipment used with your account (such as television sets, set-top boxes, modems, telephones, mobile devices, routers and other devices) connected to our cable system and other service-related information. Technical and service information we collect from our Breezeline Mobile customers may additionally include mobile application download and data usage information, network traffic or performance information, diagnostic data (including Device performance, signal strength, dropped call, data failure, or battery strength information), and Location data (as defined below).

Communications with us. When you contact us by e-mail, chat or by telephone, we collect information, including your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, billing or account information, and any other information you choose to share with us; we also retain customer correspondence and communication records.

Use of our services. When you use our cable TV service, our equipment automatically collects information about your use of the services and features, including your use of set-top boxes, remote controls, electronic program guides, video players, applications, tablets and other devices and software that are connected to our cable system or other services. This information includes which channels, programs, and advertisements are viewed and for how long. When you use our digital video recording service, our DVR partner collects information about you, including personal and viewership information, to provide that service. When you use our Internet and phone services, we may transmit, collect, and store information about you for a period of time related to your use of our services and features. This information may include your e-mail; instant messaging activity; file transfers and sharing; web browsing; telephone activity including voicemails; custom settings or preferences; and communications with us for support; or other uses of our services and features. Depending on how you access our services, we may also collect voice recordings to the extent you use a voice-operated device to navigate or make selections. While the data collected from your devices may be attributable to your household, general audience measurement data concerning viewing habits is de-identified or aggregated with other customer data and does not reflect names or addresses. When necessary, account and billing information is collected by us or our third-party payment processor for specific transactions, such as purchasing a pay-per-view program or other service. When you use Breezeline Mobile, we, or our service providers, may transmit, collect, and store usage information about your use of the wireless network, the use of your mobile device, technical and network performance information, and location information when your device communicates with cell towers, Wi-Fi routers, access points, and/or with technologies used by the Global Positioning System (“GPS”).

Customer damage claims. If you submit a damage claim concerning any of our products or services, we require you to provide to us information about the damage, the circumstances concerning damage, and certain information about yourself for purposes of processing the claim and any payments to you related thereto, including: your name, billing address, and your social security number in connection with receiving a payment.

Authentication. If there is any reported fraud on your account, we may require a copy of residency documents (such as your lease agreement) to authenticate your name, phone number, and service address.

Location data. If you use Breezeline Mobile, or the device you use to access our services supports location-based services and you choose to enable sharing the device’s location, we may collect general location information, such as the city or zip code that corresponds to the license of your device IP address, or more precise geolocation data that indicates where you are at a specific point in time. We may also collect location information when you use some of our services and mobile applications, such as your service address and the approximate location of your Breezeline Mobile device or another device on which you have installed a Breezeline mobile application. For example, when a Breezeline Mobile device connects using the Breezeline home Internet service, we collect the device’s MAC address. If you do not want us to collect your device’s location, you can disable location services on your device using the device settings. We may also serve you cookies and advertising based on a location we associate with your IP address and zip code.

Data from third-party data sources. We may collect data about you from third-party data sources, including demographic information and billing or credit history.
Inferences and insights. We may collect data about your use of our services to make inferences and develop insights related to your use of our products and services.

Other sources. We also use customer surveys, questionnaires, and interviews to gather information about your interests and use of our products and services.

How We Collect Data

We may collect data from you during a range of interactions and using a number of different technologies. Some of this data you provide, such as when you sign up for our service, send us an e-mail, complete a web-based form, or use our websites or Breezeline mobile applications to pay your bill. Some of this information may be submitted by you at a Breezeline marketing event, or it may be provided by you to a Breezeline representative over the phone or during a visit to your home. Some of this information we collect when you access our services, including from the equipment Breezeline provides to you as well as from equipment you may own that you use to access those services. For instance, if you subscribe to our cable TV service, our set-top boxes automatically collect information related to audience measurement. Similarly, if you watch TV online using your own computer, tablet, or smartphone, we may collect data about the type of browser or operating system you are using, your IP address, and other information.

We also create a hashed common identifier for subscribers who log into their online accounts, in order to use cross-device tracking to analyze subscriber activities and usage across our websites, mobile applications, and products and services. This data from cross-context and cross-device linking is collected and used by Breezeline on an aggregated basis, with no visibility into who the subscriber is.

Charlie, Breezeline Virtual Assistant. Breezeline’s website offers a Virtual Assistant powered by Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) to answer general customer questions, direct you to helpful links on the website, and connect you to a live representative when necessary. When you use our Virtual Assistant, you agree to the recording and collection of your data for quality and auditing purposes, and understand that the Virtual Assistant is not to be used for legal advice. You acknowledge that any information you enter in the Virtual Assistant is voluntarily provided by you. Please do not enter confidential information, such as your financial and banking information or passwords and login credentials. Breezeline stores transcripts of chat conversations.

How We Use Data

We use the information we collect primarily to conduct business activities related to providing you with our cable service and other services and to help us detect theft of service. These are the specific ways in which we use customer information:

to install, configure, operate, upgrade, support, and maintain our cable service and other services;
to provide billing, account maintenance, product and service repair, and to provide customer service to you;
to administer and manage our business and operations, including the protection of the security and integrity of our services and our website;
to provide you with accurate and high-quality customer service and call center support, authenticate access to your account, and enable technical support, including product recall;
to properly deliver your services, and protect the security of the system;
to communicate with you, in response to your inquiries and customer service requests, to notify you about your account and subscription information, to inform you of software and security updates, and to create offers and contact you about other products or services that may be of interest to you;
to serve you more efficiently, we retain certain business and service records, as well as customer correspondence and communication records;
to market and advertise, including the use of targeted advertising to facilitate personalized marketing concerning equipment refresh programs and other marketing campaigns that may fit your interests or preferences;
to manage the network supporting our services;
to measure credit and payment risks;
to verify you are meeting eligibility criteria for participation in the Lifeline Program, if these criteria are applicable to you;
to enhance, improve, and repair our offerings and their functionality, to provide you with personalized offers and features, and tailor our services to make them more useful and enjoyable for you;
to personalize your settings on our products and services so that you don’t have to change these settings each time you use them;
to measure Internet service performance, including network and connection performance, device configuration, and other service-related data; and
to protect our rights, personnel, and property, and to comply with applicable law.

We will use inferred information (information we create based on our analysis of your account, transactions, interactions, and other information we hold about you) to predict customer interests and behaviours. We use these insights to personalize marketing communications, recommend additional products and services, provide customer retention and loyalty offers, assess and manage delinquent accounts, and identify prospective customers for our products and services.

We also combine third party data with the data we have collected about customers in order to provide and improve our products and services, to customize products and services to a particular geographic area, to better tailor them to meet our customers’ needs, to maintain the security and integrity of our products, services, and websites, and to develop and offer new products and services. We maintain customer records to enable us to serve our customers and for our regulatory, audit and compliance purposes. The types of information we collect are set forth herein.

We may also use:

viewership information to customize and personalize television service offerings. Viewership information may be used to determine which shows are most popular, how many people watch a program to its conclusion, and whether people are watching commercials. An analysis of this information helps improve our cable TV service and other services and make programming and advertising more relevant to our subscribers; it also allows us to distribute and deliver relevant programming and advertising to you without disclosing personally identifiable information about you to programmers or advertisers; and
activity data associated with particular devices, such as set-top boxes, portable devices and other supported devices so that we know where to deliver the services and how to troubleshoot them. Activity data may be used to help us learn how popular certain programs are and how our customers generally prefer to view certain kinds of programming using cable video service, including whether they like to watch certain programs live, on demand, on mobile devices or online. This may require us to compare or combine activity data on our cable system with online activity data. We may also use activity data to determine whether promoting content and services in certain ways helps attract a larger audience and more customers. We may compare or combine information, such as activity data, we receive when you use cable TV services to view content or advertising with information about your use of content and advertising that we deliver on other platforms, such as DVR devices, websites, and mobile applications. We do this to better understand how our customers access and use our products and services in all the places where we offer them.

How and with Whom We Share Data

Except as described in this Customer Privacy Notice, we do not share your personal data without your consent. We may share or disclose your information to the following categories of third parties:

with third-party service providers, vendors, and partners that help us with various business purposes: to provide our products and services, marketing and advertising campaigns, to provide customer service support and communicate with you, and to conduct analytics, billing, and maintaining or repairing our network, products and services;
within the Breezeline family of companies, including with our parent company Cogeco Communications Inc. (“Cogeco”) and with subsidiaries and other affiliates; we may also disclose information about you to outside auditors, professional advisors, regulators, or as part of a corporate transaction, such as a merger or sale of business assets: to comply with internal and external reporting requirements, confirm accuracy of financial statements and transactions, and for operational and policy audits;
with law enforcement agencies and other parties as required by law or to respond to lawful requests; these disclosures may be made with or without the subscriber’s consent, and with or without notice, in compliance with the terms of legal process, such as subpoenas, court orders or search warrants;
with government authorities or payment processors: to protect against fraud, abuse, or harm, or to protect our interests; and
with outside counsel or collections agencies: to protect our customers, employees, or property, in emergency situations, to enforce our rights under our customer agreements or other policies in court or elsewhere, and as otherwise permitted by law.

When we allow third-party service providers to transmit, collect and store information on our behalf to provide features of our services or to perform services on our behalf (such as audience measurement or market research), these third parties are not permitted to use your information except for the purpose of providing these features or services. Third-party service providers collect and/or receive personally identifiable information about you in connection with providing services to us.

Customers have the choice to sign up for SMS texts for appointments, technical information, and marketing. If you opt-in to receive these messages, text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.

We may disclose inferences made from your personal data to third parties that work on our behalf to provide you services, such as data analytic providers.

In addition, we may share subscriber lists, activity data associated with particular devices, or certain de-identified or aggregate information with third-party service providers. This information may be combined with aggregated or non-aggregated demographic information (such as census data) and other audience attributes, such as purchasing data, demonstrated interests (such as a preference for sports programming), loyalty programs, organizational affiliations, advertiser customer lists, and similar data to provide us with audience analysis data. Our third-party service providers may provide such de-identified or aggregate audience measurement data to others, including advertisers, so that they may better focus their advertising resources. We may also work with academic or research interest groups to analyze de-identified information we provide to them for specific purposes or projects. We, or third parties working on our behalf, may combine demographic and other generally available information or advertiser information with our subscriber lists.

Aggregate reports are then generated to reflect how groups of customers with common characteristics, such as age and gender or a demonstrated interest in a particular product, use our services and respond to the programming and advertising that we distribute. We may use this information to improve and communicate with you about our own products and services and to help us deliver relevant information and advertising on behalf of other companies and advertisers to certain subscriber groups who may be most interested in this information and advertising. When we do this, we do not share your personally identifiable information with these advertisers unless you provide your express consent. We may also combine information about you from our business records with information obtained from third parties to create a database, which we use in marketing and other activities related to our cable service and other services.

The Cable Act authorizes Breezeline to disclose limited personally identifiable information to others for cable or non-cable “mailing list” or other purposes. Although we do not generally provide mailing lists to third parties, we may disclose your name and address for these purposes. However, you have the right to prohibit or limit this kind of disclosure by sending us a written request as described below. Any “mailing list” and related disclosures that we may make are limited by the Cable Act to disclosures of subscriber names and addresses where the disclosures do not reveal, directly or indirectly, (i) the extent of any viewing or other use by the subscriber of a cable service or other service provided by us; or (ii) the nature of any transaction made by the subscriber over the cable system. In connection with phone service, such as Caller ID, 911/E911, and directory services, we may disclose your information as follows:

We may transmit your name and/or telephone number to be displayed on a Caller ID device unless you have elected to block such information. Please note that Caller ID blocking may not prevent the display of your name and/or telephone number when you dial certain business or emergency numbers, 911, 900 numbers, or toll-free 800, 888, 877, 866, 855 or 844 numbers.
We may provide your name, address and telephone number to public safety authorities and their vendors for inclusion in E911 databases and records, inclusion in “reverse 911” systems, or to troubleshoot 911/E911 record errors.
We may publish and distribute, or cause to be published and distributed, telephone directories in print or on the Internet. Those telephone directories may include subscriber names, addresses and telephone numbers, without restriction to their use, which means this information may be scraped or otherwise obtained and used by third parties.
We may also make subscriber names, addresses and telephone numbers available, or cause such subscriber information to be made available, through directory assistance operators. Breezeline Mobile does not publish directories of customers’ wireless phone numbers and we do not make those numbers available to others for listing in directories.
We may provide subscribers’ names, addresses and telephone numbers to unaffiliated directory publishers and directory assistance providers for their use in creating directories and offering directory assistance services.

We take reasonable precautions to ensure that non-published and unlisted numbers are not included in telephone directories or directory assistance services, but we cannot guarantee that errors will never occur.

The Cable Act also requires us to disclose personally identifiable information to a third-party or governmental entity in response to certain subpoenas, search warrants, court orders, or otherwise as authorized by law. In some cases, the government may be required to obtain a court order to obtain certain information about your account and provide you notice and an opportunity to appear and contest the government’s claims.

How We Protect Your Data
We endeavor to follow industry-standard practices to prevent unauthorized access to personally identifiable information. However, we cannot guarantee that these practices will prevent unauthorized attempts to access, use, obtain or disclose personally identifiable information about our customers.

Payment Processing
We use third-party payment processors to process credit and debit card transactions you initiate with us through the Breezeline Mobile device store or our website to pay for service fees and/or order other products or services. Your credit or debit card information is never shared with us, and at no point in any transaction will we have access to that information.

Protecting Minors’ Privacy
Our websites, products, and services are not directed to consumers under the age of 18 years, and we do not sell services to minors. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information about consumers under the age of 18 years.

Third-Party Products & Services
Our products and services may enable you to access other websites, services, mobile applications, virtual and voice-activated assistants, home automation, or other third-party products or services. Our websites, products, or services may even contain direct links to or permit you to access other websites and services that are not offered or maintained by Breezeline. The privacy statements and policies of those third parties apply to your access and use of those websites, products, and services and to the information they collect about you. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our service, or browse the Internet, and to read the privacy statements and policies of the websites and services that you visit.

How Long We Retain Personally Identifiable Information
Breezeline maintains personally identifiable information about you in our regular business records while you are a subscriber to our cable service or other services. We also maintain this information for a period of time after you are no longer a subscriber if the information is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or to satisfy legal requirements. These purposes typically include business, legal, or tax purposes.

Accessing Personal Information

You may see the information that we collect about you. You can access and update some of the information we collect about you through your online account with us (such as your e-mail address and bill-to address) by logging into MyAccount with your username and password. Subscribers to our phone services should be aware that we generally do not provide them with records of any inbound or outbound calls or other records that we don’t maintain in the ordinary course of business, or which are available only from our archives, without valid legal process such as a court order. If your review reveals an error in our records, we will correct it, to the extent within our control (for example, we cannot control information in telephone directories).

If you are a resident of Connecticut, New Hampshire or Maryland, you have additional rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of your personal information,(including obtaining any inferences derived from their data and a list of specific third parties to whom their data was sold). You may limit the use of your personal information for targeted advertising online, under the respective state privacy legislation. For more information, please visit the Additional Privacy Rights for Residents in Connecticut, New Hampshire and Maryland

CPNI

Federal law and Federal Communications Commission rules provide additional protections for “Customer Proprietary Network Information” or (“CPNI”), which includes the quantity, technical configuration, type, destination, location, call history, and information regarding the use of your telecommunications services, such as your Breezeline home Voice Service or Breezeline Mobile. CPNI does not include your name, address, and telephone number. Under federal law, we may use CPNI in connection with the provision of the telecommunications service from which the information is derived; to bill and collect for telephone service; to protect users or other carriers or service providers from fraudulent, abusive or unlawful use of, or subscription to, such services; to provide maintenance or repair services; to protect our rights or property; as expressly authorized by the customer; or as otherwise permitted by law and regulation.

Occasionally, you may be asked during a phone call with one of our representatives for your oral consent to Breezeline’s use of your CPNI for the purpose of providing you with an offer of products or services. If you provide your oral consent for Breezeline to do so, Breezeline may use your CPNI for the duration of such phone call in order to offer you additional services. Any action that you take to deny or restrict approval to use your CPNI will not affect our provision to you, now or in the future, of any service to which you subscribe.

Communication Preferences

You may opt out of receiving marketing communications from Breezeline at any time. To opt out of marketing communications sent by e-mail, you may use the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any such e-mail, or you may navigate to the Account tab in your MyAccount portal and make your selections in the Marketing Preferences box.

You may opt out of receiving marketing communications by telephone by notifying the calling party that you wish to opt out or by following the automatic opt-out instructions on such a call. You may also opt out of such calls by sending a request in writing to the address below.

You may also prohibit our permitted disclosure of your mailing list information to third parties under the Cable Act (except as otherwise required by legal process or applicable law) by notifying us in writing. Such requests should be sent to the address provided below.

Please refer to our Website Terms & Privacy Choices for more information about our use of cookies and other tracking technologies.

What Other E-Mail Communications Will Breezeline Send Me?

We may send a welcome e-mail and sometimes other information to new subscribers to our cable service and other services. We may also send service-related announcements to our subscribers from time to time. We may send you an e-mail announcement of pricing changes, changes in operating policies, a service appointment, or new features of one or more of the cable service or other services you receive from us. You may not opt out of these service-related communications. If you fail to check the e-mail address that you have provided to us, you may miss important information about our services, including legal notices. We reserve the right to send you promotional or commercial e-mail as permitted by applicable law. You can manage the promotional or commercial e-mails we may send to you by following the instructions contained in the e-mails.

Changes to Customer Privacy Notice
We may update this Customer Privacy Notice from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the updated Customer Privacy Notice online. If you object to a change, you may cancel your service. If you continue to use the service following notice of the changes, we will deem that to be your acceptance of and consent to the changes in the revised Customer Privacy Notice. This includes your consent for any personally identifiable information that we may collect and use starting on the effective date of the revised notice, as well as for any personally identifiable information that we have collected prior to the effective date of the revised notice. We will provide you with a copy of the current Customer Privacy Notice at the time you subscribe to our service, and each year that you continue to be a subscriber.
