However, "opting out" will not affect the provision of any services we are furnishing you.Regardless of whether you consent or not, your CPNI will continue to be treated as confidential.
Please note that if you do not "opt out," your consent will remain valid unless and until we receive a notice expressing your intent to "opt out." You retain the right to "opt out" at any time by calling the number listed above.
Please also be advised that, regardless of your decision to "opt out," your CPNI may be disclosed in certain situations.

Disclosures of CPNI may also be mandated pursuant to requirements of the Federal Communications Commission or the Utah Public Services Commission. Finally, federal and state rules permit certain disclosures of CPNI to prevent fraud or abuse, for billing and collection, for provisioning service, and in other limited circumstances.
