Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty 221
There are two types of information that may be exchanged between the Sprint site
and the user during each visit to a Sprint site. They are:
1. General technical data transmitted between your computer and the Sprint
site that does not identify you personally.
2. Personally identifiable information that you voluntarily share. The types of
personally identifiable information that you might share include your name,
address, phone number, email address and credit card number.
(b) Anonymous Information
In order to provide you with the information and services that you look for from
the Sprint Websites, Sprint gathers certain types of information from you that are
not personally identifiable. This is called anonymous information and includes:
1. The type of Internet browser you use when you visit
2. The types of computer operating system you use
3. The search engine you use to access the Sprint Websites (such as “AOL.com,”
“Yahoo.com” or “Go.com”)
4. The specific Sprint Website that you visit (sprint.com,
sprintpcs.com, etc.).
The anonymous information collected is not associated with you personally or
your business. Sprint uses this anonymous information in the aggregate to
improve Sprint Websites and the services we provide through those sites.
(c) Use Of Cookies
Sprint Websites may use “cookies” to collect the anonymous information
described in this Privacy Policy. Cookies are bits of encrypted data that are loaded
by a Sprint server onto your computer or other device when you visit a Sprint
Website. The server can retrieve the cookies the next time you visit a site and use
them to identify the computer as a return visitor. Sprint uses cookies to collect
non-personally identifiable information and generically track usage patterns on the
Sprint Websites in order to monitor activity and administer the sites. Sprint also
uses information obtained from cookies to improve Sprint Websites, and make
decisions concerning advertising, product offerings and services. Most users can
disable cookies from their Internet browsers, receive a warning before a cookie is
placed on their computer, and erase all cookies from their computer hard drives
by following the instructions provided by the browser.
(d) Advertisements On Sprint Websites
Advertising companies deliver ads on some Sprint Websites. You should be aware
that when you click on these ads, the advertising companies may also deploy
cookies to receive anonymous information about ad viewing by Internet users on
Sprint Websites and other Websites. This information is associated with your Web
browser, but cannot be associated with your name or email address without your
permission. Therefore, advertising companies may know where your computer
goes on the Web, but they do not know who you are unless you tell them. Sprint
does not provide personally identifiable information about its customers or Sprint
Website visitors to these advertising companies.
