What Information Do We Collect?

Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a smooth, efficient and customized experience. This allows us to provide features that most likely meet your needs, and to customize our service to make your experience easier.

Aggregate Data

We gather certain usage information like the number and frequency of visitors to our website. This information may include which URL you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your IP address. We use such data only in the aggregate. This collective data help us determine how much our customers use parts of our website, and do internal research on our customers' demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand and serve you.

This type of aggregated, non-personally identifiable information may also be collected by third parties that support our services. In addition, we aggregate data and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for marketing and promotional purposes.

Personally Identifiable Information

We also request information about you. This may include your name, birth date, home address (if applicable) and email address (collectively "personally identifiable information"). However, only your first name and first initial of your last name will be visible on our website.

How Do We Use Your Information?

Unless you specifically decline, we may use personally identifiable information to contact you and deliver information to you via your home address (if applicable), email, or text messages on your mobile phone if you are a Virgin Mobile customer. We will not share personally identifiable information with any third parties. By accepting this Privacy Policy, you expressly agree to such usage. In addition, Virgin Mobile USA may use non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form for demographic marketing purposes, and may disclose this information to third parties, including advertisers.

We may use third party service providers to facilitate our services, and therefore, we may provide some of your personally identifiable information directly to them. In addition, we employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Some examples include fulfilling orders, providing mobile content, delivering packages, sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments and providing customer service. These service providers have access to personally identifiable information and may use it as needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for any other purpose, except that they may aggregate your personally identifiable information with similar information from other customers in a manner that does not personally identify you.

Virgin Mobile USA cooperates with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties, to enforce laws, such as protecting intellectual property rights and preventing fraud. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, to respond to claims or legal process, to protect the property of Virgin Mobile USA or the safety of our employees or others, to investigate fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is or may be illegal or expose us or you to liability.

It is possible that Virgin Mobile USA or our partners could be acquired by or merged with another business entity. Should such a combination occur, you should expect that Virgin Mobile USA or our partners will share some or all of your personally identifiable information to continue to provide service. You will receive notice of such event (to the extent that it occurs), and we will request that the new combined entity follow the practices disclosed in this Privacy Policy or notify you of any changes.
