If you deny or restrict Trunk.us from using your CPNI, you will suffer no effect, now or in the future, on how Trunk.us provides any services to which you subscribe.

DISCLOSURE OF CPNI
Trunk.us may disclose CPNI in the following circumstances:
- With client approval.
- When disclosure is required by law or court order.
- To protect the rights and property of BCM One or its other clients and service providers from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of services.
- In response to a service provider’s request as to whether a client has a preferred interexchange carrier (PIC) freeze on their account.
- For directory listing services.
- To provide services, including assistance with trouble associated with your services.

CLIENT AUTHENTICATION
Trunk.us will request a list from the client of authorized individuals who may request Technical Support or request information related to the account. In the event of the Administrative authorized contact needing to be changed, the request must be submitted via fax and be on company letterhead.
Clients calling us can discuss their services and billings with a Trunk.us representative once that representative has verified the caller’s identity. There are three (3) methods by which Trunk.us will authenticate the identity of the caller:
- confirming a pre-established password and/or PIN;
- with an immediate call back to the telephone number associated with the services purchased; or
- by mailing the requested documents to the client’s address of record.
Passwords and/or PINs should not be any portion of the person’s social security number, mother’s maiden name, telephone number associated with the client’s account or any pet name. In the event the caller fails to remember their password and/or PIN, Trunk.us will ask the caller a series of questions known only to the caller and Trunk.us in order to authenticate the caller. In such an instance, the caller will then be required to establish a new password/PIN.
Calls to open a trouble-ticket because of out-of-service conditions will not require the above-mentioned Authorized Contact authentication.
The client is responsible for maintaining and updating the Authorized Contacts list. Trunk.us will not be responsible for notifications missed due to out-of-date Authorized Contact information.
