Telecom Fiji is assuring all Fijians that the online browsing activity of their customers is not being tracked and their data and privacy is safe.
This comes in light of claims made in the media that certain telecommunications companies provided information on sites that Fijians browse.
Telecom CEO, Charles Goundar says Telecom customers can rest assured knowing that their privacy is of utmost importance to them.
He says while they cannot speak for other telecommunications companies, they would like to assure all their users that their data and browsing habits are not being tracked and they will never release any customer information to any third parties, unless there is a criminal case and a warrant is provided.
Goundar says they believe it is a matter of ethics and they are also following the guidelines set by the Fijian Constitution.
He says the right to privacy is guaranteed for Fijians under section 24 of the constitution which states that every person has the right to personal privacy, which includes the right to — (a) confidentiality of their personal information; (b) confidentiality of their communications; and (c) respect for their private and family life.
Goundar says their customers cannot only enjoy super fast internet speeds, downloads, streaming on Netflix and YouTube, but also do it in peace knowing that their information will never be released.
