Customer Account Information
JB-Nets, LLC stores certain information about all our customers. This includes:
- Your first and last name (if you are a residential customer or the contact person for an organization)

JB-Nets also stores information that relates to the specific services we provide:
Wireless & Fiber Internet
JB-Nets stores information about the hardware installed by JB-Nets on our wireless customers’ premises and about the configuration of that hardware. This includes IP addresses, frequencies, and the date that each piece of hardware was installed on the premises. As a convenience, we also store wireless router passwords; customers may opt out of this at the time of installation, or call us thereafter to request that the password be removed from our database. JB-Nets has access to additional information about each customer’s connection, which may be stored for varying lengths of time in our monitoring equipment or indefinitely in other records such as documentation of technical support procedures.
JB-Nets, like any Internet service provider, is able to see any traffic sent unencrypted over the network. Sometimes this traffic may be visible to JB-Nets staff during normal maintenance and troubleshooting activities. JB-Nets does not monitor communications sent or received by specific customers.
Additionally, we are required by law to be able to allow government and law enforcement agencies to monitor the network traffic of one or more specified users. This requirement applies to all Internet service providers in the United States. JB-Nets does not enable such monitoring unless and until we are required to do so by the proper authorities.
Financial Information
JB-Nets uses third-party software and services to manage customer accounts, credit cards, electronic payments, and other information. To protect your financial information, the following security measures are in place:
- Access is restricted to only certain employees and controlled by our accounting software administrator.
- A security policy, including regular password changes, is enforced.
- Full credit card numbers are never displayed after being entered (though they are still stored on our internal servers and our backups).
JB-Nets will never sell your financial information or share it with any third party, except when necessary to provide services related to your JB-Nets customer account or to comply with legal requirements.
