Required Personally Identifiable Information.
To register on our Web site, you must submit your name and e-mail
address. In addition, to purchase a calling card, you must submit
additional information, including your address, phone number and credit

necessary for us to process transactions for you, protect you against
credit card fraud and contact you. When you register with Telequant, we
will ask you for e-mail and a phone number. We will never share the
information stored on that database, as well as other information we
collect or you provide with any business partners or third parties,
including those who offer services that complement those provided by us
or which we believe may be of interest to you.
Transaction Information.
When you authorize a purchase transaction, we will collect certain
information related to that transaction such as the location from which
you are requesting the search or transaction, the product or service
involved, the quantity or amount of the product or service and certain
personally identifiable information, such as your password, your credit
card information and any special handling requests. This personally
identifiable information will never knowingly appear in public areas of
our Web site.

During the processing of your transactions, we collect verification
information from our credit card authorization services. Credit card
authorization services verify that credit card information and address

The general information that we gather about you may be aggregated with
general information of all users to help us better understand how our

governmental authority.
b) In order to cooperate with law enforcement authorities or
governmental regulatory bodies, and if we find any fraudulent
activities.
c) As necessary to complete a transaction for you.
d) If you use our Web site through a link from one of our promotional
partners, then we may be required to share your user registration
