How is the Information Used?
Highwinds uses your personal information to send you notices

other customers, with a high standard of technical performance.
If you have access to Highwinds services and website through
your ISP account, Highwinds will have received your personal
information from your ISP and therefore may use your personal
information in communicating with your ISP.
Will Personal Information Be Kept Confidential?
Highwinds believes in keeping your personal information in
the strictest confidences and will not disclose such information
except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy. While
Highwinds appreciates the confidential nature of your personal
information, there are certain instances in which Highwinds

Highwinds may be required to disclose your personal information
and may be required not to notify of such disclosure. Highwinds
may also disclose your personal information to any purchaser
of its assets or to a successor entity in the event of merger.
Is Information I Post to the Usenet Confidential?
Anything you post to usenet newsgroups by its very nature
cannot be confidential and anything that you post when using
the services provided by Highwinds becomes public information.
Highwinds has no control over usenet content and you should
exercise caution when deciding to disclose any personal information
in any newsgroup or over the usenet.
