CountyStart Networks may also use customer information to provide customers with system information or information about new or upgraded products.
We will not otherwise disclose customer personal and account information unless we have reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to identify, make contact with, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing harm or interfering with the rights or property of CountyStart Networks, our customers, or others, or where CountyStart Networks has a good faith belief that the law requires such disclosure.
