We may deploy cookies and other similar technologies to automatically collect information about you.
See COOKIES for more information about our use of cookies and how to manage your cookie preferences. You can opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information by clicking “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” at the bottom of our website.
2.3 Information We Receive from Third Parties: We may also collect information about you from third parties, such as credit information/history, marketing lists from our partners, information such as risk scores we receive from vendors to help us identify fraud, commercially available demographic and interest-based information from third party data brokers, and information we receive from “refer a friend” or similar programs.
We may obtain your information from third-party sources, including device manufacturers, device protection and warranty providers, retailers and other service providers, such as from Voice Comm, our third-party accessory retailer and fulfillment provider for the Consumer Cellular Accessories online accessories store at consumercellularaccessories.com. Voice Comm is an independent company and not an affiliate or agent of Consumer Cellular.
We may also collect information about you from social media platforms through your public profile, social media posts, and other online interactions. For example, if you “like” us, mention Consumer Cellular or reach out to us directly. The information we receive from these third parties is governed by the privacy policies of the applicable social media platforms and we encourage you to review them before submitting any information to such platforms.
3. How We Use Your Information.
We collect the categories of your information described in PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT to provide, maintain, and improve our Sites and Services, to promote our products and Services, and to communicate with you, for the following purposes, to:
3.1 Provide Our Services:
- Routing calls, delivering text messages, and managing your data connection.
- Invoicing and billing you for products or Services, shipping items you purchased, processing payments, and managing your account with us.
- Providing customer support, helping resolve technical issues, and improving customer service.
3.2 Maintain and Improve Our Sites and Services:
- Managing our wireless network, maintaining and improving wireless coverage and enhancing the performance of our network.
- Auditing and improving our Sites and Services, analyzing usage patterns of your equipment, understanding how you use our Sites and Services, personalizing your experience on our Sites, and developing new Sites and Services.

3.3 Promote our Services, Send Marketing and Other Communications:
- Contacting you about Service updates and other important account-related issues (i.e., informational or transactional communications) by email and text message.

3.4 Comply with Legal Obligations & Fraud Prevention:
- Security and fraud prevention, protecting your account and our wireless network from misuse or abuse, or otherwise as needed to protect the safety of customers and the safety of others.
- Comply with applicable laws, legal processes or government requests, enforcing legal rights or Consumer Cellular’s terms, agreements, and policies.
3.5 Analytics, Profiling, and Automated Decision-Making:
We use analytics and profiling, meaning automated processing of personal information to analyze, evaluate, or predict aspects of an individual’s preferences, behavior, or needs, to operate, secure, and improve our Services. This includes evaluating information such as account details, device identifiers, service-usage patterns, network and performance data, and customer-interaction history. We use these tools to help detect and prevent fraud or security risks, verify account activity, support customer service, maintain and troubleshoot our network, and improve the quality and functionality of our products and Services. We may also use analytics to tailor certain communications or to measure or deliver advertising where permitted by law.
Where U.S. state law defines or treats profiling as part of automated decision-making or targeted advertising, we provide the disclosures and rights required by applicable law. These may include the right to request information about the categories of personal information used in profiling, the right to access information about the outcome of profiling, the right to appeal or seek human review of a decision, and the right to opt out of targeted advertising or the use of personal information in profiling to the extent permitted by law. We do not rely solely on automated systems to make decisions that deny or restrict your access to our core wireless Services.
We use customer proprietary network information (CPNI) only as permitted by federal law. We do not use call-detail or similar CPNI data for marketing non-communications Services without the appropriate consent. Please see Our Obligations and Your Rights Related to CPNI for more information.
Where U.S. state law provides rights to opt out of the use of personal information for targeted advertising, profiling, or the sale or sharing of personal information—including through browser signals such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC)—you may exercise those rights by clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link at the bottom of our website or by enabling an authorized preference signal in your browser. Please see Global Privacy Control for more information.
4. How We Disclose/Share Your Information.
While we do not sell your personal information in exchange for monetary consideration, we may disclose the categories of your information described in PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT to certain third parties in support of our business operations. Under U.S. state privacy laws, like the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (the “CCPA”), that disclosure may be considered a “sale” of personal information, even if no money changes hands.
Categories of information we may disclose to third parties depend upon the types of those third parties and their relationship with us. Categories of information we may disclose to these third parties include those described in PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT. We may disclose your information for a variety of business purposes, including to the following third parties:
4.1 Service Providers: We use service providers to provide, improve, and maintain our Sites and Services. We disclose your information to third parties who perform services at our request or on our behalf so we or they can provide the requested products and Services to you.

This may include cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, log files and other technologies that automatically collect your information.

We may disclose your information to the following marketing and analytics companies:
- Digital advertising platforms for serving you cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising.

We will not disclose your CPNI to you until you have provided us with your password or other permissible authentication measures.

6. Marketing Communications, Sweepstakes and Contests.

- You may choose to limit or revoke your consent as follows:
- Unsubscribe from our email communications by following the unsubscribe links within our emails;
- Reply “STOP” to any text message; or
- Contact Us at consumercellular.com/contact.
We will process the opt-out request as soon as reasonably possible and within the specific time periods required by applicable law. Please note that by opting out of marketing communications, it will not impact your Services, nor will it prevent us from sending you non-promotional messages related to your account, transactions, customer support, or Consumer Cellular’s ongoing business relationship with you.
When you register to participate in our sweepstakes, contests and other promotions, we may require your name, postal address, phone number, email or other personal information which allows us to administer and manage the promotion, contact you if you are the winner, or send special offers and other marketing materials to you if you choose to receive them from us. If you no longer choose to receive these special offers and other marketing materials from us, you can revoke your consent as set forth above in this section. Please carefully review the official rules for such sweepstakes or contests as the terms may treat your personal information differently than under this Privacy Policy and apply to your participation in the promotion.
7. How Long We Keep Your Information.
We retain different categories of personal information for specific time periods based on business needs, legal requirements, and regulatory obligations, unless a specific retention period is mandated or permitted under applicable law. Our contracts with service providers require that they only retain personal information for the duration of time necessary to fulfill the purposes described in the contracts.
8. How We Protect Your Personal Information.
We have implemented administrative, organizational, technical, and physical measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access or improper use. While our security safeguards are intended to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of your information, no security measures are perfect, and we cannot guarantee your personal information will never be disclosed in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, for example, as a result of a third party’s unauthorized or unlawful acts. If that were to occur, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.
The information we collect is stored on servers located in the United States (“U.S.”). Physical and logical access to these databases and servers on which personal information is collected and stored is restricted to those employees, service providers, business partners and other third parties who have a legitimate need to know for the business purposes described in HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION. They will only process your personal information on our instructions or as otherwise agreed in our contracts with them. Our contracts with service providers require that they only store personal information on servers located in the U.S.
9. Third-Party Applications, Links to THIRD-PARTY Sites and User Submissions.
When using our Services, you may choose to install, access or use services offered by third parties. By using, playing, or downloading such third-party applications, you agree to be bound by the terms of service for those applications. Service providers administering those applications may use tracking technology, such as cookies, to collect information, and location or geolocation data, about you. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access via our Services. These third-party services operate independently of our Services, and your information is governed by their terms and conditions, not Consumer Cellular’s.
Our Sites may contain links to third-party websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to these third-party applications or websites, and Consumer Cellular does not control, nor are we responsible for, the content or privacy and security practices of those third-party applications or websites. Any personal information collected through such third-party applications or websites is subject to the applicable third party’s privacy practices, which we encourage you to carefully review.
Our online accessories store is operated by Voice Comm, an independent company and not an affiliate or agent of Consumer Cellular and hosted by Shopify. To find out more information about how Shopify may use your personal information, we encourage you to visit Shopify's Privacy Policy at shopify.com/legal/privacy.
The emergency call center services for our medical alert device are operated by Viiz Communications, an independent company and not an affiliate or agent of Consumer Cellular. By adding someone to your trusted contacts, you give Viiz permission to contact and share your account and personal information with them. To find out more information about how Viiz may use your personal information, we encourage you to visit Viiz’s Privacy Policy at viiz.com/privacy-policy.
Payment processing services on certain Consumer Cellular-branded websites may be performed by third parties, such as Stripe on cchousecall.com, but not all Consumer Cellular-branded websites and applications utilize such third-party services. Payments for purchases on cchousecall.com are processed by Stripe, an independent company and not an affiliate or agent of Consumer Cellular. By making a purchase on cchousecall.com, your payment card information and other transaction data are collected directly by Stripe and Stripe may use that information for its own purposes, including fraud prevention, platform security, analytics, and advertising. Consumer Cellular does not store your full payment card number. To find out more information about how Stripe may use your personal information, we encourage you to visit Stripe's Privacy Policy at stripe.com/privacy.
We may provide websites where you can post information about yourself and others, upload content (such as pictures, videos, audio files, etc.) and post comments or reviews about Consumer Cellular. You are responsible for the content of anything you share with us. Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly viewable web pages, that information will be publicly available, can be collected and used by others, and is no longer subject to this Privacy Policy. We cannot control who reads your posting or what others may do with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your personal information. Once you have posted information, you may not be able to edit or delete such information.
10. Information Obtained From Children.
Our Services are not intended for children or minors, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under eighteen (18) years of age. If you believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us via the email listed in HOW TO CONTACT US, and we will work to delete their personal information in accordance with applicable law.
11. Cookies.
When you visit our Sites, we store and retrieve information on your device’s web browser, in the form of cookies (which are small data files that are downloaded on your computer or device when you visit a particular website), web beacons, tracking pixels, and similar technologies (collectively, “Cookies”). Cookies help websites remember your preferences and track how you use the site. You can disable some types of Cookies by turning them off in your device’s browser.
When you visit our Sites, you consent to the collection of your information using Cookies set on our Sites by us, our marketing and analytics providers and other business partners. Because we respect your right to privacy, and to comply with state-level comprehensive privacy laws, you can choose not to allow some types of Cookies. However, blocking some types of Cookies may impact your experience on our Sites. For more information about Cookies, the Cookies we use, and how to manage their settings, please click on “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” at the bottom of our website. You may also enable the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal on a compatible web browser. Please see Global Privacy Control for more information.
11.1 Types of Cookies: First party Cookies are Cookies set by us on our Sites which are commonly required for the functionality and security of our Sites. Third Party Cookies are Cookies set on our Sites by our partners and service providers usually to provide us with analytics and serve you with relevant advertising and marketing. Third-party Cookies may be governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy.
11.2 Cookie Classifications: We may use the following types of tracking technologies:
Strictly Necessary Cookies: Cookies that are necessary or essential for our Sites to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging into your account or filling in webforms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these Cookies, but some parts of our Sites or functionality may not then work. These Cookies do not store any personal information and will always be active.
Functional Cookies: Cookies that enable us to provide enhanced functionality on our Sites and personalization. They may be set by us or by third parties whose services we have added to our Sites. If you do not allow these Cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly when you visit our Sites. Like Strictly Necessary Cookies, Functional Cookies do not store any personal information.
Performance Cookies: Cookies that allow us to count visits and traffic sources on our Sites so we can measure and improve performance. They help us to know which pages are the most and least visited and see how visitors move around our Sites. If you do not allow these Cookies we will not know when you have visited our Sites, and we may be unable to monitor their performance.
Targeting Cookies: Cookies that are set through our Sites by our advertising partners or by a range of social media services. They can track your browser across other websites and are used by those companies to build a profile of your interests, show you relevant advertisements on other websites and enable you to share our content with your friends and social networks. If you do not allow these Cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising, impact the content and messages you see on the other websites you visit and you may be unable to use or see these social media sharing tools. You can opt-out of such targeted advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative websites. You can also opt-out of targeted advertising by clicking on the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link at the bottom of our website.
11.3 Do Not Track: Some newer web browsers may have a “Do Not Track” preference or similar signal that transmits a “Do Not Track” header to websites you visit with information indicating that you do not want your activity to be tracked. We do not currently take action to respond to “Do Not Track” signals because a uniform technology or common industry-accepted standard has not yet been developed.
11.4 Global Privacy Control: Our Sites support GPC, which is a browser-based opt-out preference signal that communicates to websites you visit your requests to opt-out from the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information or processing of your personal information for “targeted advertising.” You can learn more and how to set up GPC by visiting Global Privacy Control at globalprivacycontrol.org.
12. International Transfers.
Consumer Cellular is based in the U.S. and the information we and our service providers collect is governed by U.S. law, which may be different from the privacy laws of the country where you are located. We do not intend to offer our Services to residents of countries other than the U.S. and your access to and use of our Sites constitutes your consent to the transfer to and from, processing, usage, sharing, and storage of your information, including personal information, in the U.S., or in other countries where our service providers may process data, as described in How Long We Keep Your Information and How We Protect Your Personal Information.
13. State-Specific Privacy Disclosures.
If you are a California resident, please refer to the California Privacy Rights notice below. This section of our Privacy Policy applies to the residents of certain U.S. states that have enacted comprehensive state-level privacy laws, such as Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia (which list is non-exhaustive and may expand as additional U.S. state privacy laws are enacted). Under these laws, residents of these states may have additional rights with respect to the personal information collected by businesses, like Consumer Cellular, such as the following, the:
- Right to confirm whether we process personal information about you and obtain certain information about how we use your personal information, such as the categories or list of third parties to whom we disclose personal information.
- Right to access your personal information, if applicable, in a portable and readily usable format.
- Right to delete your personal information.
- Right to correct your personal information.
- Right to opt out of “sale” of personal information or processing of personal information for “targeted advertising.”
Not all states have the same laws or afford the same rights for their residents, such as the rights to appeal or correct, though we will try to assist residents of these states with any valid rights requests that are reasonable and practicable. We do not discriminate against you if you exercise any rights described in this section or any other rights under applicable law.
13.1 How to Make a Request: As a resident of these U.S. states, you may exercise these rights (which rights may be subject to certain exceptions) by:
Submitting a request online at U.S. Privacy Request Form; To opt-out of the sale or sharing for targeted advertising, limit the use of your sensitive data, please click: U.S. Privacy Choices Form.
Calling us (877) 841-4207; or
Writing to us at:
Consumer Cellular, Incorporated
Attention: Privacy Office
12447 SW 69th Ave.
Portland, OR 97024
Residents of U.S. states with opt-out rights may elect to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of their personal information (as described below in How to Make Consumer Requests, Us Responding to Requests & Verification) for certain disclosures to third parties which may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under applicable law.
Note that some rights are inapplicable to Consumer Cellular’s business practices (e.g., the right to opt out of or contest “profiling” in furtherance of “decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects”). Unless we notify you separately, we do not process your personal information for “profiling” in furtherance of “decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects,” as such terms are defined under applicable law. Please see Analytics, Profiling, and Automated Decision-Making for more information.
13.2 Types of Requests & Verification: You also can exercise your right to opt-out of the “sale” of your personal information or processing of your personal information for “targeted advertising” by clicking on the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link at the bottom of our website or by submitting an opt-out request to us. We will respond to requests to opt-out of the “sale” of personal information or processing of personal information for “targeted advertising” within fifteen (15) business days of receipt. Consumer Cellular recognizes GPC signals, which are a way for you to set a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” preference at the browser level. If your browser or browser extension has GPC enabled, our Sites will automatically recognize that signal and opt you out from the “sale” of your personal information or processing of your personal information for “targeted advertising.” Please see Global Privacy Control for more information.
Residents of U.S. states with enacted comprehensive privacy laws have the right to appeal our decision to not process your request. You can submit your appeal to privacy@consumercellular.com. In your email, please provide the following information: (1) first and last name; (2) the type of appeal: (i) access, (ii) know, (iii) delete, or (iv) correct; (3) your ID from the original request; and (4) details regarding your appeal (i.e., reason for your appeal to assist us in our investigation). This information will only be used to respond to the request. We must have all this information to investigate your appeal.
For current Consumer Cellular customers, in most cases, the best way to correct your information is to log into your My Account at consumercellular.com/login.
