PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE DOWNLOADING THE SOFTWARE OR USING THE PRODUCT(S) OR KOSMOS WEBSITES

Key Points

It is important that you read the entirety of and understand this document. There are, however, a few key points that we need to emphasise:
NO ACCESS TO EMERGENCY SERVICES: The Software is not a replacement for your ordinary mobile or fixed line telephone. In particular, apart from in the very limited circumstances set out in paragraph 5.6 of these Terms (applicable to KOSMOS Mobile software only), the Software does not allow you to make emergency calls to emergency services. You must make alternative communications arrangements to ensure that you can make emergency calls if needed.
CHECK RESTRICTIONS ON USE: In some countries there are restrictions on the use of the Software. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are legally allowed to use the Software where you are located

1. YOUR AGREEMENT WITH KOSMOS

1.1 KOSMOS’s Mobile software applications (“Internet Communications Software”), other ‘KOSMOS’ branded software applications (together “KOSMOS”), and associated documentation (whether in printed or electronic form) including any improvements, modifications, enhancements, fixes, updates, upgrades and future versions thereto (“Updates”) and whether made available for free or for a fee, (collectively the “Software”) is licensed (not sold) to you by KOSMOS.

1.2 The features and products that are made available through the Software for free (excluding products or features available for free on a trial basis only) (“Free Products”) are provided to you by KOSMOS.

1.3 Any additional products or features of KOSMOS Mobile Software, or other “KOSMOS” branded products, that you pay for (including products or features which are available for free on a trial basis only) (“Paid For Products”) are provided to you by KOSMOS.

1.4 KOSMOS’s websites www.kosmosmobile.com or www.kosmosmobile.net or www.kosmosmobile.ca (as applicable) (the “KOSMOS Website(s)”) are operated by Kosmos Mobile Global Corp.

1.5 “KOSMOS’’ means Kosmos Mobile Global Corp. of 3301 Chetumal Street, Belize City, Belize; and, as the context requires; “Products” means collectively the Free Products and Paid For Products; “you” or “your” means you, the registered holder of the User Account and licensee under these Terms.

1.6 Your agreement with KOSMOS is made up of the terms and conditions set out in this document, together with any Additional Terms referred to in paragraph 14 (collectively the “Terms”). To the extent of any inconsistency between the Additional Terms and this document, this document shall take precedence.

2. ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS

These Terms are accepted by you (a) when you click to accept or agree the Terms; or (b) when you download and/or use the Software, Products and/or KOSMOS Websites. We advise you to print a copy of these Terms for your records. These Terms remain effective from the date of acceptance until terminated by you or KOSMOS in accordance with paragraph 11.

2.2 You cannot accept these Terms if: (a) you are not lawfully entitled to use the Software, Products and/or KOSMOS Websites in the country in which you are located or resident or (b) if you are not of legal age to form a binding agreement with KOSMOS.

2.3 In some countries the Products may be provided to you by KOSMOS’s local partner. If so, that local partner may ask you to accept its own terms of service (“local terms”). If there is any inconsistency between those local terms and these Terms, then the local terms shall govern to the extent of that inconsistency.

3. CHANGES TO THE TERMS

3.1 KOSMOS may make changes to these Terms from time to time. KOSMOS will publish the changes in the KOSMOS application settings.

5.2 Updates to the Software: You may be required to enter into an updated version of these Terms to be able to download or otherwise take advantage of any Updates. KOSMOS has no obligation to make available any Updates. However, KOSMOS may in its sole discretion require you to download and install Updates and/or the KOSMOS Software may download and install Updates from KOSMOS automatically from time to time. These updates are required to maintain software compatibility, provide security updates or bug fixes, or offer new features, functionality or versions. You agree to receive such updates from KOSMOS in order to continue using the KOSMOS Software and you agree to accept such Updates subject to these Terms.
5.3 Suspension, technical improvement and maintenance: From time to time, KOSMOS may need to perform maintenance on or upgrade the Software, Products or KOSMOS Websites or the underlying infrastructure that enables you to use the Software, Products or KOSMOS Websites. This may require KOSMOS to temporarily suspend or limit your use of some or all of the Software, Products or KOSMOS Websites until such time as this maintenance and/or upgrade can be completed. To the extent possible and unless an intervention is urgently required, KOSMOS will publish the time and date of such suspension or limitation on the KOSMOS Website in advance. You will not be entitled to claim damages for such suspension or limitation of the use of any Software, Product or KOSMOS Website.
5.4 No Access to Emergency Services: Neither the Products nor the Software are intended to support or carry emergency calls to any type of hospitals, law enforcement agencies, medical care unit or any other kind of services that connect a user to emergency services personnel or public safety answering points (‘Emergency Services’) . There are important differences between traditional telephone services and the Products. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) KOSMOS is not required to offer access to Emergency Services under any applicable local and/or national rules, regulations or law; (ii) it is your responsibility to purchase, separately from the Products, traditional wireless (mobile) or fixed line telephone services that offer access to Emergency Services, and (iii) the Software and the Products are not a replacement for your primary telephone service.
5.5 Content of Communications: KOSMOS is not the source of, does not have any control over, does not monitor and takes no responsibility for the content of communications made using the Software. By using the Software, you agree that any content that you submit may be transmitted to the recipient of your communication. The content of communications is entirely the responsibility of the person from whom such content originated. You therefore may be exposed to content that is offensive, unlawful, harmful to minors, obscene, indecent or otherwise objectionable. The content of communications may be protected by intellectual property rights, which are owned by third parties. You are responsible for the content you choose to communicate and access using the Software. In particular, you are responsible for ensuring that you do not submit material that is (i) copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner (ii) a falsehood or misrepresentation (iii) offensive, unlawful, harmful to minors, obscene, defamatory, libellous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or that encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offence, gives rise to civil liability, violates any law, or is otherwise objectionable; (iv) an advertisement or solicitation of business; or (v) impersonating another person. KOSMOS reserves the right (but shall have no obligation) to decide whether any content that you use complies with these Terms. KOSMOS may in its sole discretion remove such content and/or terminate these Terms and your User Account if you use any content that is in breach of these Terms.
5.6 Notice and Take-Down: If KOSMOS receives any notification that any material that you post, upload, edit, host, share and/or publish on the KOSMOS Website or through the Software (excluding your private communications) (“User Submission”) is inappropriate, infringes any rights of any third party, or if KOSMOS wishes to remove your User Submission for any reason whatsoever, KOSMOS reserves the right to automatically remove such User Submission for any reason immediately or within such other timescales as may be decided from time to time by KOSMOS in its sole discretion. The User Submission shall be taken down without any admission as to liability and without prejudice to any rights, remedies or defences, all of which are expressly reserved. You acknowledge and agree that KOSMOS is under no obligation to put back such User Submission at any time. If User Submissions infringe, or if you believe that User Submissions infringe any of your rights (including intellectual property rights) or are unlawful, please contact us immediately by following our notice and takedown procedure. KOSMOS reserves the right to ask for verification of your identity and to seek further information to verify your complaint. You agree that you are solely responsible for the consequences resulting from your complaint (including but not limited to removal or blocking of the User Submission) and you acknowledge and agree that any complaint may be used in court proceedings. Any false, misleading or inaccurate information provided by you may result in civil and criminal liability.
5.7 Quality: KOSMOS cannot guarantee that the Software, Products or KOSMOS Websites will always function without disruptions, delay or errors. A number of factors may impact the quality of your communications and use of the Software, Products (depending on the Products used) or KOSMOS Mobile or Websites, and may result in the failure of your communications including but not limited to: your local network, firewall, your internet service provider, the public internet, the public switched telephone network and your power supply. KOSMOS takes no responsibility for any disruption, interruption or delay caused by any failure of or inadequacy in any of these items or any other items over which we have no control.
5.8 Changes to Products: KOSMOS is constantly improving the Software and Products and may also need to change technical features from time to time in order to comply with applicable regulations. Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that the Products and functionality of the Software may vary from time to time. Technical requirements for use of Products and Software and feature descriptions are available on the KOSMOS Website. If you do not agree with any changes to Software and Products you may terminate your relationship with KOSMOS in accordance with paragraph 11. You may need to upgrade to a new version in order to enjoy the benefit of certain Products. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that certain Products may be subject to usage limits or geographical restrictions, which may vary from time to time. Please check the KOSMOS Website for details of the most up-to-date usage restrictions that apply to the Products that you are using.

5.10 Reports – Certain parts of the KOSMOS Websites or the Software may ask for written suggestions or problem reports such as using our contact form or problem report form (“Reports”). Please read carefully any specific terms, which govern those Reports. The Reports shall be deemed the property of KOSMOS. KOSMOS shall exclusively own all now known or hereafter existing rights to the Reports throughout the universe in perpetuity and shall be entitled to use the Reports for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to the provider of the Reports. Any Reports you send too KOSMOS will not be treated as confidential and KOSMOS shall not be liable for any disclosure of the Reports.
5.11 Linking You may link to the KOSMOS Website from another website owned by you, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it.

The new rate will apply to your next purchase after the new rates have been published. Please check the latest rates before you make your call. If you do not accept the new rates, do not make your call.
III. The duration of a call shall be based on one-minute increments. Fractions of minutes will be rounded up to the next minute.

The new charges will apply to your next purchase after the new charges have been published.
8.3 Promotional Offers: From time to time, KOSMOS may offer Paid-For Products for free for a trial period. KOSMOS reserves the right to charge you for such Products (at the normal rate) in the event that KOSMOS determines (in its reasonable discretion) that you are abusing the terms of the offer, including if you are using any service, proxy or other devices or anonymous IP address that prevents us from locating you.

KOSMOS reserves the right to apply VAT at the appropriate rate as per VAT rules applicable at the time of purchase. 8% Swiss VAT applies if you are located in Switzerland. Other local taxes may apply in certain countries. If you are located in the EU and if you have a VAT registration number, you are liable to self-assess VAT in your country at the appropriate rate as per the reverse charge rules applicable in your country. When you purchase a voucher depending on the country, local VAT or other taxes may apply and may be deducted from the value of the voucher upon redemption. The territories in the EU set out below are outside the scope of EU VAT under Council Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of VAT, as amended. The KOSMOS Website does not enable users in such territories to take advantage of this VAT exemption and we therefore do not provide the Products in such territories: Mount Athos, Canary Islands, French Overseas Departments, Aland Islands, Channel Islands, Heligoland Island, Busingen Territory, Ceuta, Melilla, Levigno, Campioned’Italia and Italian Waters of Lake Lugano.
8.5 Third Party Charges: Using the Software on mobile applications will use some of the data allowance available on the data package to which you have subscribed with your mobile network operator.

II. “Program” means a live or pre-recorded audio or visual performance.

23. PRIVACY POLICY – CANADA

When you install the KOSMOS App and register on the Site, you will be asked to provide us with your phone number and to allow us access to your mobile device’s address book (collectively, “Personal Information”). A copy of the phone numbers and names in your address book (but not emails, notes or any other personal information in your address book) will be stored on our servers and will only be used to:
a. notify you when your contacts become active on KOSMOS,
b. indicate which of your contacts is already a KOSMOS user,
c. correctly display the name of each contact as it appears in your address book when a call is received.
In addition, we may also create a function in the future that will use this data to synchronize your address book across your multiple devices.
The copy of your address book (names and phones) is stored on a live database. This database does not have a “historical backup”. If you delete the address book from our servers (more about this below), it will be deleted instantly and permanently.
Your phone number, which will be verified via a text message that will be sent to you, will be used for identification purposes as your KOSMOS user ID.
KOSMOS also maintains a Call Detail Record (CDR – see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_detail_record) for each call conducted on the system. These are industry standard records used by all phone companies. We maintain this information in order to better understand network behavior and trends (numbers of calls made by users, typical destinations, call lengths, network type, etc.), detect potential outages and technical issues (this helps us notice things like a drop in call volume in a certain geography, a shift in call length, a change in typical networks, etc.) and for public safety reasons. All log analysis is done in an anonymous, aggregate, non-personally identifiable manner. We may look into a specific Call Detail Record in response to a customer support request. We maintain CDRs for a period of no more than 12 months.
Audio calls by users are transmitted either directly from user to user or, if direct transmission is not possible (due to, for example, firewalls), KOSMOS servers are used to transmit the call. In the latter scenario, the information transmitted is stored briefly in volatile memory (RAM) solely to enable the transmission of the call to the other user. WE DO NOT RECORD ANY PART OF YOUR CALL.
23.1 Kosmos Mobile Global Corp. (“KOSMOS Mobile”) is strongly committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. Please carefully read the following Privacy Policy. In order to ensure your privacy, personal information KOSMOS Mobile collects from its customers, as well as visitors to its website located at www.kosmosmobile.com (“Site”), is used only in the manner and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. “Personal information” includes information about an identifiable individual, presented in any form, such as: age, name, ID number(s), income, ethnic origin, opinions, evaluations, social status, disciplinary actions, credit records, loan records, medical records, but does not include the name, title, business address and telephone number of an employee of an organization.

a. implementing procedures to protect personal information;
b. establishing procedures to receive and respond to complaints and inquiries;
c. training staff and communicating to staff information about KOSMOS Mobile’s policies and practices; and

PRINCIPLE #2 — IDENTIFYING PURPOSES
KOSMOS Mobile will identify the purposes for which personal information is collected at or before the time the information is collected.
I. KOSMOS Mobile collects personal information only for the following purposes (“identified purposes”):
II. to provide service(s) and/or products to its customers;
III. to maintain commercial relations and to communicate with its customers (which will include, but not be limited to: billing, collection, advertising, promotion, account verification);

VI. When personal information that previously has been collected is to be used for a purpose not previously identified, the new purpose will be identified prior to use. Unless the new purpose is required by law, and subject to the exceptions referred to in Principle #3, KOSMOS Mobile will obtain the consent of the individual before information is used for that new purpose.
VII. Occasionally, KOSMOS Mobile will communicate to you special bonus and new product offers that we think may be of value to you. KOSMOS Mobile may retain third parties to assist it in marketing such new or additional KOSMOS Mobile products and services to our customers (and for such purpose may share personal information with such third parties) but will not otherwise disclose or make available any personal information to any third parties seeking to market their products to KOSMOS Mobile’s customers. All KOSMOS Mobile customers have the right to choose not to participate in direct marketing of new products and services from KOSMOS Mobile. If you wish to opt-out of receiving targeted communications from KOSMOS Mobile in electronic, printed or verbal format (other than information included with your monthly bills), simply inform us in writing at:

VIII. The Site may provide hyperlinks, which are highlighted words or pictures within a hypertext document that may, when clicked, take you to another place within the document, to another document altogether, or to a third party website not controlled by KOSMOS Mobile. Such hyperlinked third party websites may collect and disclose information different than this Site. KOSMOS Mobile is not responsible for the collection, use, or disclosure of information collected through these third party web sites, and KOSMOS Mobile expressly disclaims any and all liability related to such collection, use, or disclosure.
PRINCIPLE #3 — CONSENT
The knowledge and consent of the individual are required for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information, except where inappropriate.
I. In certain circumstances, personal information can be collected, used, or disclosed without the knowledge and consent of the individual. For example, where collection or use is clearly in the interests of the individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way; where used or disclosed in the case of an emergency that threatens the life, health or security of an individual; where personal information is publicly available as defined by regulation; where collection with knowledge or consent might compromise the availability or accuracy of the information and the collection relates to investigation of a breach of agreement or contravention of law; or to comply with a subpoena, warrant or court order.
II. Where required, KOSMOS Mobile will generally seek consent for the use or disclosure of the information at the time of collection. In certain circumstances, consent with respect to use or disclosure may be sought after the information has been collected but before use (for example, when KOSMOS Mobile wants to use information for a purpose not previously identified).
III. KOSMOS Mobile will make a reasonable effort to ensure that the individual is advised of the purposes for which the information will be used. To make the consent meaningful, the purposes will be stated in such a manner that the individual can reasonably understand how the information will be used or disclosed.
IV. KOSMOS Mobile will not, as a condition of the supply of a product or service, require an individual to consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of information beyond that required to fulfill the explicitly specified and legitimate purposes.
V. The form of consent sought by KOSMOS Mobile may vary, depending upon the circumstances and the type of information disclosed. KOSMOS Mobile will seek express consent when the information is likely to be considered sensitive. Implied consent will generally be appropriate when the information is less sensitive.
VI. An individual may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. KOSMOS Mobile will inform the individual of the implications of such withdrawal. In order to withdraw consent, an individual must provide notice to KOSMOS Mobile in writing.
VII. With respect to personal information already collected by KOSMOS Mobile prior to the publication of this Privacy Policy, this Policy will constitute reasonable notice to KOSMOS Mobile’s current customers of the purposes and uses for which such personal information has been collected. Should an individual object to these ongoing uses or disclosures, consent may be withdrawn upon providing notice to KOSMOS Mobile in writing.
PRINCIPLE #4 — LIMITING COLLECTION

A cookie assigns a unique identification code to your computer in order to collect anonymous information. On this Site, cookies are used to help us track visitors, conduct research and improve our content and services.

PRINCIPLE #5 — LIMITING USE, DISCLOSURE, AND RETENTION
Personal information will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with the consent of the individual or as otherwise required or permitted by law.

V. KOSMOS Mobile will retain personal information that has been used to make a decision about an individual long enough to allow the individual access to the information after the decision has been made, and, in the event of an access request or a challenge, long enough to exhaust any recourse an individual may have under the law.
PRINCIPLE #6 — ACCURACY
Personal information will be updated as necessary for the purposes for which it is to be collected and used.
I. The extent to which personal information will be updated will depend upon the use of the information, taking into account the interests of the individual. Information will be sufficiently accurate, complete, and up-to-date to minimize the possibility that inappropriate information may be used to make a decision about the individual.

PRINCIPLE #7 — SAFEGUARDS
KOSMOS Mobile will use reasonable efforts to protect personal information by security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.
I. KOSMOS Mobile has invested and deployed a wide variety of technology and security features to ensure the privacy of personal and anonymous information on its network. In addition, KOSMOS Mobile has implemented strict operations guidelines to safeguard customer privacy at every level of its organization. KOSMOS Mobile will continue to revise policies and implement additional security features as new technologies become available. Unfortunately, no system is perfect; therefore, KOSMOS Mobile makes no representations or warranties with regard to the sufficiency of these security measures. KOSMOS Mobile shall not be responsible for any actual or consequential damages (or any other damages or liability of any kind whatsoever, whether as a result of negligence or otherwise) that result from a lapse in compliance with this Policy because of a security breach or technical malfunction.
II. KOSMOS Mobile protects all personal information regardless of the format in which it is held. The methods of protection include:
a. physical measures, such as locked filing cabinets and restricted access to offices;
b. organizational measures, such as security clearances and limiting access on a “need to know” basis;
c. technological measures, such as the use of passwords and encryption.

These obligations prohibit disclosure or use of any confidential or personal information except in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
PRINCIPLE #8 — OPENNESS

I. Upon written request, KOSMOS Mobile will inform an individual whether or not the organization holds personal information about that individual, and will provide that individual with a reasonable opportunity to review the personal information in his or her file.
II. KOSMOS Mobile will allow the individual access to his or her personal information once the individual has provided KOSMOS Mobile with a written request application. The application will include sufficient information to permit KOSMOS Mobile to provide an account of the existence, use, and disclosure to any third parties of this personal information. KOSMOS Mobile will use the application only for this purpose.
III. KOSMOS Mobile will respond to an individual’s written request within 30 days, unless this period is extended in accordance with applicable legislation, in which case notice will be sent to the individual within 30 days regarding the extension, the reasons for it and the individual’s rights in connection with it. KOSMOS Mobile will assist any individual who informs it that they need assistance in preparing a request. While the response will typically be provided at no cost to the individual, depending on the nature of the request and the amount of information involved, KOSMOS Mobile reserves the right to impose a cost. In these circumstances, KOSMOS Mobile will inform the individual of the approximate cost to provide the response and proceed upon payment. The requested information will be provided or made available in a form that is generally understandable.
IV. KOSMOS Mobile will be as specific as possible in providing an account of third parties to which it has disclosed personal information about an individual. When it is not possible to provide a list of the organizations to which it has actually disclosed information about an individual, KOSMOS Mobile will provide a list of organizations to which it may have disclosed information about the individual.
V. In certain instances, KOSMOS Mobile will not be able to provide the individual access to his or her personal information. Where permitted, the reasons for denying access will be provided to the individual. This will be done upon the individual’s request, unless KOSMOS Mobile is required by law to provide such written reasons. Exceptions to the grant of an access request may include: information that contains references to other individuals or contains confidential commercial information, where such information cannot be severed from the record; information protected by solicitor-client privilege; information properly collected without the knowledge or consent of the individual for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of law; information generated in the course of a formal dispute resolution process; and as required or permitted by law.
VI. When an individual successfully demonstrates the inaccuracy or incompleteness of personal information, KOSMOS Mobile will amend the information as required. Depending upon the nature of the information challenged, amendment may involve the correction, deletion or addition of information. Where appropriate, the amended information will be transmitted to third parties having access to the information in question.

Effective Date
This Privacy Policy may be modified from time to time without notice. This policy was last updated on February 22, 2017.

24. PRIVACY POLICY – UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

When you install the KOSMOS App and register on the Site, you will be asked to provide us with your phone number and to allow us access to your mobile device’s address book (collectively, “Personal Information”). A copy of the phone numbers and names in your address book (but not emails, notes or any other personal information in your address book) will be stored on our servers and will only be used to:
a. notify you when your contacts become active on KOSMOS,
b. indicate which of your contacts is already a KOSMOS user,
c. correctly display the name of each contact as it appears in your address book when a call is received.
In addition, we may also create a function in the future that will use this data to synchronize your address book across your multiple devices.
The copy of your address book (names and phones) is stored on a live database. This database does not have a “historical backup”. If you delete the address book from our servers (more about this below), it will be deleted instantly and permanently.
Your phone number, which will be verified via a text message that will be sent to you, will be used for identification purposes as your KOSMOS user ID.
KOSMOS also maintains a Call Detail Record (CDR – see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_detail_record) for each call conducted on the system. These are industry standard records used by all phone companies. We maintain this information in order to better understand network behavior and trends (numbers of calls made by users, typical destinations, call lengths, network type, etc.), detect potential outages and technical issues (this helps us notice things like a drop in call volume in a certain geography, a shift in call length, a change in typical networks, etc.) and for public safety reasons. All log analysis is done in an anonymous, aggregate, non-personally identifiable manner. We may look into a specific Call Detail Record in response to a customer support request. We maintain CDRs for a period of no more than 30 months.
Audio calls by users are transmitted either directly from user to user or, if direct transmission is not possible (due to, for example, firewalls), KOSMOS servers are used to transmit the call. In the latter scenario, the information transmitted is stored briefly in volatile memory (RAM) solely to enable the transmission of the call to the other user. WE DO NOT RECORD ANY PART OF YOUR CALL.
KOSMOS Mobile VoIP Inc. and its affiliated entities (“KOSMOS Mobile”) are committed to your privacy. We obey all laws and regulations in the United States applicable to our use and disclosure of your information. Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, we will not trade, sell, or disclose to any third party any form of PII (as defined below) without your consent and we will not disclose or make available any PII to any third parties seeking to market third party products without your consent. We have set forth this Privacy Policy to explain to you how we collect and use information from our customers who use services and products from KOSMOS Mobile (“Customers”) and from visitors to our Web sites and from potential customers who have communicated, made contact, or interacted with KOSMOS Mobile (“Visitors”), both in connection with online and offline services and products offered by KOSMOS Mobile.
24.1. Collection of Information
KOSMOS Mobile shall collect personally identifiable information, including but not limited to name, physical address, email address, telephone number, credit card information, and other personal information (collectively, “PII”), from Customers when initiating service and in connection with the provision or marketing of products and services. KOSMOS Mobile may collect PII from Visitors in connection with any visit to our Web sites, any communication about our services and products, or other transactions or interactions with KOSMOS Mobile.
KOSMOS Mobile may also collect non-personally identifiable information from Customers and Visitors regarding usage of our services or our Web site (“Non-PII”). Non-PII may include Web site pages viewed, time spent using certain services, demographic data, cookies, and other information which does not specifically identify any one individual.
“Cookies” are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer by a Web site for the purpose of facilitating and enhancing your communication and interaction with that Web site. Many Web sites use cookies for these purposes. We may use cookies to customize your visit to our Web sites and for other purposes to make your visit
In addition to our cookies, we and our vendors and contractors may also use clear gifs, Web beacons, and third party cookies to improve the performance of our Web sites, provide certain features such as advertising, or to anonymously track usage of our Web sites and the online activity of users. In addition, we may use such devices in our HTML-based emails to track the usage of such emails in much the same manner as usage of our Web sites is tracked.
You may stop or restrict the placement of cookies on your computer, including third party cookies, or flush them from your browser by adjusting your Web browser preferences, in which case you may still use our Web site, but it may interfere with some of its functionality.
24.2. Anti-Spyware Policy
KOSMOS Mobile believes that Spyware is a threat to consumer privacy and a consumer’s experience online. Therefore, we forbid any KOSMOS Mobile employee, agent, partner, affiliate, or contractor from intentionally deploying or using Spyware (as defined in this policy) on behalf of KOSMOS Mobile. Spyware refers to any executable software application that is installed on a user’s personal computer and covertly gathers and transmits PII through the user’s Internet connection without the knowledge or consent of the user. Cookies and Web beacons are not considered Spyware. Spyware may gather PII, such as e-mail addresses and credit card information, and may even alter personal computer settings. Intentional use of Spyware by any KOSMOS Mobile employee, agent, partner, or affiliate on KOSMOS Mobile’s behalf will not be tolerated and will be considered grounds for dismissal, contract termination, and/or loss of payment.
24.3. Use of Information
KOSMOS Mobile will use PII to (1) market products and services to Customers and Visitors that KOSMOS Mobile believes may be of interest to them, (2) provide services and products requested by Customers and Visitors and (3) enable its vendors, contractors and partners to provide and assist KOSMOS Mobile in the marketing and provision of such services and products to KOSMOS Mobile, Customers, or Visitors or to participate in joint marketing offers with KOSMOS Mobile. In our contracts with vendors, contractors and partners, we require them to protect PII and to limit their use of such information to the purposes for which it is provided. They may not use this information for their own independent marketing purposes. If you purchase products and services offered jointly by KOSMOS Mobile and one of our partners, PII may be received and shared by both KOSMOS Mobile and our partner. Each company’s privacy policy may apply. However, we will not share your credit card information with any third parties unless they are involved in processing payments for services that you have purchased from KOSMOS Mobile. KOSMOS Mobile only works with partners whom we believe maintain high standards with respect to privacy and consumer rights.
KOSMOS Mobile may also use and disclose PII to investigate and help prevent potentially unlawful activity or activities that threaten the integrity of our service or network, to investigate fraud or violations of our EndUserLicenseAgreement, as required by courts or administrative agencies or in connection with a sale, merger, or reorganization of KOSMOS Mobile’s business.
24.4. CPNI
In the course of providing services to you, we collect and maintain certain customer proprietary network information (“CPNI”). CPNI includes the types of services you currently purchase, related usage and billing information for those services. Your telephone number, name, and address are not CPNI. We value our relationships with our customers and are committed to respecting and protecting your CPNI. Accordingly, we do not sell, trade, or share your CPNI, including your calling records outside of KOSMOS Mobile or with anyone not authorized to offer our products or services, or to perform functions on our behalf except as authorized by you or required by law. Generally, we can use your CPNI to offer additional services to you, and for billing and collections purposes. We can also disclose your CPNI for legal or regulatory reasons, including in response to subpoenas and court orders, without your prior knowledge or consent. We can also use CPNI to investigate fraud and to prevent violation of our Terms of Service and unlawful use of our network, services, and other customers.
24.5. Security
KOSMOS Mobile has invested and deployed a wide variety of technology and security features to make reasonable efforts to ensure the privacy of information on its network. In addition, KOSMOS Mobile has implemented operations guidelines to ensure Customer and Visitor privacy is safeguarded throughout its organization. KOSMOS Mobile will continue to revise policies and implement additional security features as new technologies becomes available. However, no system or service can give a 100% guaranty of security, especially a service that relies upon the public Internet. Therefore, you acknowledge the risk that third parties may gain unauthorized access to your information when using or accessing our services and our network.
24.6. Communications
KOSMOS Mobile will not read, listen to or disclose to any third parties private e-mail, conversations, or other communications that are transmitted using KOSMOS Mobile services except as required to ensure proper operation of services or as otherwise authorized by law, or with your prior consent.
You should be aware that any PII which you voluntarily include and transmit through publicly accessible forums (i.e., such as chat rooms, blogs, instant messages, listservs) may be viewed and used by anyone with access to such forums. KOSMOS Mobile is unable to control such uses of your PII, and by using such services, you assume the risk that the PII provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties.
24.7. Account Information
Subject to certain security requirements, KOSMOS Mobile will do its best to honor requests from Customers for their own account information, including name, address, company, or billing information. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the information on file with KOSMOS Mobile is current and accurate.
24.8. Children’s Privacy Policy
KOSMOS Mobile does not sell products or services for purchase by children. KOSMOS Mobile does not knowingly solicit or collect PII from children or teenagers under the age of thirteen (13). If you believe that a minor has disclosed PII to KOSMOS Mobile, report this to us at support@kosmosmobile.com.
24.9. KOSMOS Mobile Spam Policy
KOSMOS Mobile has zero tolerance for spam. Spam complaints will be dealt with seriously and can result in losing KOSMOS Mobile privileges such as loss of referral credits and even loss of a customer’s account. If you receive spam and want to report it to KOSMOS Mobile, please forward the email you have received to support@kosmosmobile.com
24.10. Third Party Web Sites and Services
Our service may contain links to other Web sites and services not maintained by KOSMOS Mobile. In addition, other Web sites and services may also reference or link to KOSMOS Mobile. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our service, or surf the Internet, and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site and service that you visit. We do not endorse, screen, or approve, and are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of, such other Web sites and services.
KOSMOS Mobile does not assume, and expressly disclaims, any liability for third parties that have been provided with information as permitted by this Privacy Policy or who have collected information as permitted by this Privacy Policy (such as advertisers using third party cookies).
24.11. Opt-out Policy
If you do not want your PII used by KOSMOS Mobile for any direct marketing purposes, then you may opt-out of such disclosures by emailing us at support@kosmosmobile.com.
However, we are not responsible for removing your PII from the lists of any third party who has previously been provided your information in accordance with this policy. Since KOSMOS Mobile must use a Customer’s PII in order to provide them with KOSMOS Mobile services, Customers cannot opt-out of all uses of their PII unless they cancel their service.
24.12. Changes to Policy
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions from this policy at any time by posting such changes here. You should review this policy regularly for changes, and can easily see if changes have been made by checking the Effective Date below. However, if at any time in the future we plan to use PII in a way that differs from this policy, we will post such changes here and provide you the opportunity to opt-out of such differing uses. Your continued use following the posting of any changes to this policy means you accept such changes.
24.13. Terms of Service
For Customers, this Privacy Policy is subject to the KOSMOS Mobile Terms of Service or other agreements between you and KOSMOS Mobile. If you are a Customer, please refer to the Terms of Service or such other agreements regarding certain rights and limitations with respect to your use of KOSMOS Mobile’s services.
24.14. United States of America
Our service is maintained in the United States of America. By using our services, you authorize the export of PII to the USA and its storage and use by KOSMOS Mobile or its vendors, contractors and partners, anywhere in the world, as specified in this policy.
24.15. Questions
For common questions and answers regarding our privacy policy or to contact us, go to Privacy Policy: FAQs.
24.16. Effective Date
This Privacy Policy was last updated on February 22, 2017.

25. SECURITY POLICY

This privacy policy explains how KOSMOS Mobile treats personally identifiable information that KOSMOS Mobile collects and receives. Personally identifiable information is information about our customers that can identify them, such as name, address, e-mail address or phone number.
This policy also applies to our use of what our industry calls “Customer Proprietary Network Information” (CPNI). CPNI relates to the use of KOSMOS Mobile voice services. It includes the length of calls; the phone numbers that customers call and similar information. CPNI does not include personally identifiable information such as name, telephone number and e-mail address.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that KOSMOS Mobile does not own or control, or to people KOSMOS Mobile does not employ or manage. However, when KOSMOS Mobile uses companies, agents, contractors or other third parties to perform services on its behalf, KOSMOS Mobile requires that they protect CPNI and personally identifiable information consistent with this policy.
25.1. Accessing Private Information
A central feature of KOSMOS Mobile’s product is its ability to integrate a user’s telephony and e-mail systems into a unified service. In order to accomplish this, KOSMOS Mobile’s software may access contact lists maintained by third-party products such as Microsoft Outlook. We do not use this information for any purpose other than to enable these features. We will never contact anyone in your address book, nor allow anyone inside or outside of KOSMOS Mobile to have access to this information.
Other information we collect may be used to protect customers, employees and property against fraud, theft or abuse, to conduct surveys and to maintain good customer relations.
25.2. Information We Collect
KOSMOS Mobile collects personally identifiable information and CPNI when customers register with KOSMOS Mobile, when customers use KOSMOS Mobile products or services, when customers visit KOSMOS Mobile Web pages or the Web pages of certain KOSMOS Mobile partners and when customers choose to enter promotions or sweepstakes or participate in a survey.
When a customer registers for a KOSMOS Mobile account, we require name, gender, address, contact number, e-mail address and a password.
Customers may also provide information in response to surveys conducted by KOSMOS Mobile either online or offline. If this information is connected directly to your personally identifiable information, it is personally identifiable information under this policy. In addition, customers may provide KOSMOS Mobile with personal information when they interact with us. For example, customers may provide such information when requesting or using KOSMOS Mobile customer service.
25.3. Use of Information
25.3.1. Administrative Messages
KOSMOS Mobile uses personally identifiable information to create and maintain accounts, including the delivery of important administrative messages such as service announcements, privacy policy updates, terms of service updates, rate plan changes, balance notifications and account status notifications regarding that particular account (by e-mail, text message, call from customer service or any combination). Please note that when you do not opt in to marketing offers described herein, we will continue to send you this important account-related information.
25.3.2. Information Sharing and Disclosure
I. We may share information with companies that work on behalf of KOSMOS Mobile to provide a product or service that has been requested. We share this information only when it is required to deliver the service in question, and any company working with KOSMOS Mobile to deliver such a service does not have a right to use the information we provide to them beyond what is necessary to assist us in delivering that product or service.
II. You may elect to participate in KOSMOS Mobile-sponsored contests, giveaways, sweepstakes or other promotions and product or service opportunities that KOSMOS Mobile may sponsor. If KOSMOS Mobile should use third parties to deliver these promotions, KOSMOS Mobile will share only the information required to allow them to do their job and will not allow the third party to use information for any other purposes without appropriate permission.
III. We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise legal rights or defend against legal claims.
IV. We share information when we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of KOSMOS Mobile terms of use or as otherwise required or permitted by law or consistent with legal requirements.
V. We will transfer information about our customers if KOSMOS Mobile is acquired by or merged with another company.
25.3.3. Ability to Update or Delete Information
KOSMOS Mobile gives you the ability to update and delete personal information you have provided to us. Please note that any information that we have obtained may remain in backup storage for some period of time after a deletion request. This may be the case even though we will not use such information. Further, we retain call and other records consistent with legal requirements.
25.4. PERSONALIZATION, COOKIES, WEB BEACONS AND AGGREGATE DATA
This section identifies how KOSMOS Mobile and third parties use Web technologies such as cookies and Web beacons, and identifies how your IP address may be seen or used as you use the KOSMOS Mobile service. These technologies are generally used to improve or personalize a service in some way so that it is easier to use. Cookies are small text files placed on a computer’s hard drive by a Web site when a customer visits that site. Cookies are used within the KOSMOS Mobile service as follows:
25.4.1. Cookies identify a customer’s computer and record customer preferences and other data about the visit. When customers return to the site, the site knows who they are and can personalize the visit to that site. KOSMOS Mobile uses cookies to collect information to improve and personalize our services and make suggestions to customers. In most cases your computer will provide you with the ability to clear cookies and to disable cookies (this depends on the browser you are using).
25.4.2. When you log in to the web site or use your phone, KOSMOS Mobile recognizes your identity. Independently of cookies, KOSMOS Mobile may personalize your experience and suggestions on the web site or on your phone.
25.4.3. KOSMOS Mobile may also place Web beacons on its site in conjunction with cookies to monitor how visitors are navigating and/or interacting with the site. A Web beacon is a small, sometimes transparent graphic image on a Web page, Web-based document or in an e-mail message that is designed to allow the site owner or a third party to monitor the address and other information of the user visiting the Web site or sending or responding to the e-mail. Web beacons are used within the KOSMOS Mobile service as follows:
I. When the Web beacon points to a site to retrieve the image, at the same time it can pass along information such as the IP address of the computer, the time the Web beacon was viewed and for how long and the type of browser that retrieved the image.
II. KOSMOS Mobile uses Web beacons to improve its site design and operational and business practices over time.
III. In some, but not all, computers and phones, turning off the browser’s cookies will prevent Web beacons from tracking the user’s activity. The Web beacon will still account for an anonymous visit, but the information unique to the user will not be recorded.
25.5. IP ADDRESSES
IP addresses are used in the KOSMOS Mobile service as follows:
I. An IP address allows information to be sent to and from a computer (or a phone or other device) on the Internet. IP addresses are often temporarily assigned. Temporarily assigned addresses are assigned to a user for a period of time so the user typically does not have the same address each time they use the service. If a user is using a permanent IP address (more common with servers than mobile, dial-up, DSL or cable Internet users), they will have the same address each time they use the service. KOSMOS Mobile collects IP addresses when people access our Web site.
II. KOSMOS Mobile phones receive temporary IP addresses when they use data services. These addresses are reassigned after each data session. IP addresses from KOSMOS Mobile phones are hidden from third parties you visit. These third parties cannot collect KOSMOS Mobile IP addresses.
25.6. CUSTOMER PROPRIETARY NETWORK INFORMATION
Customers have a right, and KOSMOS Mobile has a duty, under the law to ensure the confidentiality of CPNI. KOSMOS Mobile may use customer CPNI to market additional communications and data products and services similar to the types currently purchased from us. Again subject to your permission, KOSMOS Mobile may contact you to market additional products and services we and our partners sell.
KOSMOS Mobile also discloses customer CPNI as required by law (see “Information Sharing and Disclosure” above). And, to provide service, we may use and disclose CPNI to our agents and independent contractors, but we restrict their use and limit disclosure of CPNI for purposes of providing service or to market products and services as previously described. We will also prohibit the third party from further disclosing the CPNI except as required by law and will require the third party to implement safeguards to protect the confidentiality of the CPNI.
25.7. CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY
KOSMOS Mobile works to safeguard your personally identifiable information. KOSMOS Mobile limits access to personally identifiable information about our customers to employees who we believe reasonably need to use that information to provide products or services to our customers or in order to do their jobs.
I. We have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to protect personal information about our customers.
II. We use technologies to safeguard personal information including:
a. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption
b. Firewalls and intrusion detection systems
c. Password protection of systems containing personally identifiable information.
III. As with any Web site, the security of information also depends on the safe computing practices of its customers. We strongly recommend that all KOSMOS Mobile customers:
a. should use strong passwords that are not easily guessed for system access
b. should not share passwords with others
c. should not respond to e-mails or text messages asking for password information.
25.8 CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
KOSMOS Mobile may update this policy from time to time if our practices change or if changes in the law require us to do so. We will notify customers about significant changes in the policy by sending a notice to the primary e-mail address specified in the KOSMOS Mobile account or by placing a prominent notice on our site.
25.9 CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
25.9.1. Infringement Warning
KOSMOS respects the intellectual property of others, and we expect all users of the www.kosmosmobile.com website (the “Site”) to do the same. Allegedly infringing materials on the site may be removed or suspended at any time in accordance with the Terms of Service. Repeated infringement by a user of the Site may, in appropriate circumstances, result in a termination of that user’s access to and use of the Site.
25.9.2. Notification of Infringement
