TelecomWorld101 (“TelecomWorld101,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates telecomworld101.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may collect limited technical information, such as your browser type, device type, pages visited, the page from which you submitted a form, referring website, and approximate location based on your IP address. We use privacy-focused analytics that do not rely on advertising cookies.

- Operate, secure, and improve the Site

How we share your information
With equipment buying and recycling partners. When you submit our equipment form, you direct us to share your request with our partners so they can respond. This includes your contact details and equipment information. Our partners may include companies affiliated with TelecomWorld101, and we may receive compensation from partners for referrals. Partners who receive your request may contact you directly, and their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies.
With service providers. We use trusted providers to run the Site and handle submissions, including website hosting, content delivery and security, form processing, spreadsheet storage, email delivery, and spam filtering. They may only use your information to provide services to us.
For legal reasons. We may disclose information if required by law, to respond to legal process, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or to investigate suspected theft or fraud involving equipment.
Business transfers. If TelecomWorld101 is sold, merged, or transferred, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
We do not sell your information to data brokers or share it with unrelated third parties for their own marketing.
Text messages and calls
By submitting our equipment form and checking the consent box, you agree that TelecomWorld101 and its partners may contact you by phone, text message, or email about your request. Message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP to any text message to opt out, or contact us at privacy(at)telecomworld101.com.

If you sign up for email updates, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
International data transfers
Some of our service providers store data outside the United States, including in the European Union. By using the Site, you understand that your information may be processed in those locations.
How long we keep information
We keep form submissions for as long as needed to handle your request and maintain business records, generally no longer than 24 months unless a longer period is required by law or needed to resolve a dispute. You may ask us to delete your information sooner.

Security
We use reasonable measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
