What kind of information can a Brightspeed customer obtain without a legal demand?

The Trust & Safety team can provide customers with information concerning the local and long-distance calls made from the customer's phone number at a certain date and time. Keep in mind that some of this information is available to customers in their billing statements through Control Center (Business) or My Brightspeed (Residential). The Trust & Safety team does charge the appropriate fees for looking up this information. The Trust & Safety team cannot provide information concerning incoming telephone calls without a proper legal demand (either a subpoena or court order).
