Yelo Phone Privacy Statement
This privacy statement (this "Privacy
Statement") is designed to assist you in understanding how Yelo Phone
uses and safeguards the information you provide.
1. Basic Service Provision
To provide the Yelo Phone service to you, Yelo Phone will:
- Collect key information necessary to identify you as a
unique user and to establish your account. This includes your
telephone number(s), email address, name, other personal
information, and, if you opt-in, can include information from your
address book and your social network connections.
- Leverage third-party services, such as transcription
providers, text message gateways, and others. Yelo Phone may
provide specific information to third-parties, as may be necessary
for such third-parties to provide specific services to Yelo Phone,
including, for example, to send you a text message, Yelo Phone will
need to provide your mobile number to a text message gateway
service.
- Collect and store voicemails. Voicemails are stored
securely and are available only to your account and via your login
credentials. Yelo Phone offers user-selected features that permit
you to (i) receive voicemail messages as files in your inbox, (ii)
send voicemail messages to other Yelo Phone users, (iii) forward
messages, and (iv) share messages with others. If you select to use
any or all of these features, you assume the responsibility of the
distribution of such messages and that personal information
contained in such messages may be made public.
- Use cookies. A cookie is a small piece of information
created by our website and stored on your computer that assists us
in providing customized services. The use of cookies is standard in
the industry. We use cookies for login verification, session
management, load balancing and personalization to enhance your user
experience. We never use cookies to retrieve information from your
computer that was not already voluntarily provided to us by you.
You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits,
although in that case, you may not be able to use certain features
of our service. Yelo Phone allows third-parties that show
advertisements on Yelo Phone web pages to set and access their
cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is
subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or
other companies do not have access to Yelo Phone's cookies.
Yelo Phone enters into agreements with third parties that
contain applicable restrictions on use of and access to data covered
by this Privacy Policy. Yelo Phone cannot be responsible, however,
for the actions of parties it does not own or control.
2. Marketing, Advertising, and Data Sales
Yelo Phone will be provided to you directly as a replacement
for your existing carrier's voicemail. When you sign up for Yelo
Phone directly, Yelo Phone may:
- Market services to you. Yelo Phone collects and processes,
or has third-party service providers who collect and process on
Yelo Phone's behalf, information about demographics and usage of
the services that help guide and carry out Yelo Phone marketing
activities. Information usage in this category is general and in no
way can be used to identify specific users, telephone numbers, or
email addresses.
- Provide usage related data. For non-marketing purposes,
Yelo Phone may provide third-parties with data related to your
usage of the service in order to improve the quality of our
services and those of such third parties. For example, Yelo Phone
may provide data to third-party service providers in order to
provide more accurate caller ID information on incoming calls.
- Provide ads to you, using third-party advertising
companies. Third-party advertising companies may use information
(not including your name, address email address or telephone
number) about your visits to Yelo Phone's and other websites in
order to provide advertisements about goods and services of
interest to you. If you would like more information about this
practice or to know your choices about limiting the information
used by these companies, visit http://networkadvertising.org.
- Combine your actions on the Yelo Phone web site with Google
Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting to collect
non-personally identifiable, general information about the age,
gender, and interests of people using the service. You can use the
Google Ads settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads
to opt-out from participating in this data collection.
- Contact you via email or your Yelo Phone voicemail. Yelo
Phone reserves the right to send you messages via the email address
associated with your Yelo Phone account or via your Yelo Phone
voicemail in order to inform you about service announcements,
policy modifications (including modifications to this Privacy
Statement) and administrative messages or respond to feedback
provided by you. Yelo Phone can also keep you up to date with news
about Yelo Phone software and services. If you do not want to be
kept informed in this way by email, you may unsubscribe using a
link in any email or contact Yelo Phone at support (at) yelophone.com.
- Use feedback explicitly provided to Yelo Phone, through
email, voicemail, or feedback forms to improve the Yelo Phone
service and/or to display comments on the Website or other
communications.
3. Notification of Changes
The Terms of this Privacy Statement are subject to change by
the Company at any time, effective upon posting an updated Privacy
Statement on the Website and providing you with notice. Any use or
access of any of the Services after such notice shall constitute
acceptance by you of such changes.
