You have a section in Legal Disclaimers under Terms and Conditions
entitled Consent to Monitoring and Disclosures which sets out U S WEST's policies regarding
collection and use of customer information. Could you explain in more detail?
U S WEST has always considered the privacy of customer information to be very important.
The development of interactive services such as U S WEST® Yellow Pages on the Internet has
led to further examination and updating of U S WEST's privacy policies to ensure they are
consistent with our customer's expectations given this new environment.
U S WEST will not collect and/or disclose personnally identificable information about
your use of the service. In the event that U S WEST has decided to collect and/or disclose such
information, we would first obtain your consent. We will develop reports based on aggregated data
about use of the service to help understand how to better serve our customer's needs and to develop
new and innovative online services.
What is U S WEST's policy regarding use and disclosure of
