Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 1, 2023

Thank you ("you") for downloading our application ("App") or visiting our website, located at www.CallerSmart.com ("Site" or "Website"). This policy covers how the information you enter into our Site or App is handled by our Company. Both the Site and App are property of Caller Smart Inc. ("Company ," "We" or "Us").

We have created this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") in order to disclose our information gathering and dissemination practices, specifically as it relates to your use of the Site or App. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control or to people that we do not employ or manage.

If you do not agree to this privacy policy please do not use the CallerSmart application or website.

We understand the importance that Internet users place on privacy and have designed our Site and App with this in mind. That's why We do not rent, sell, share, or trade your personal information with third parties other than as disclosed within this Privacy Policy.

In general, We reserve the right to release current or past Site or App data: (a) in the event that we believe that the Site or App is being or has been used in violation of this Privacy Policy, the Terms and Conditions, or to commit unlawful acts; (b) as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Site or App; or (c) if Company is sold or acquired.

While Company strongly encourages clients and partners to adopt responsible approaches to online marketing, Company is not responsible for the information practices of third parties. The collection, use, and disclosure of information by clients, partners, and any other third party is subject to their respective privacy policies, which may differ from this Privacy Policy.

Cookies

When you visit the Site or use our App, we send a cookie ("Cookie") to assign an anonymous, unique identifier to your Internet browser. Thereafter, We may access our Cookies on your computer or mobile device. This helps enhance your experience with Us, and in many instances is necessary for the provision of the services offered on the Site or in the App.

We use Cookies to store your passwords, so that you do not have to enter it more than once and to enhance your experience on the Site and in our App. We do not link the information we store in Cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our Site or in our App.

To find out more about Cookies, please visit www.cookiecentral.com. To disable and reject certain Cookies, please reference the above website for specific browser disabling information. Please be advised that where you disable or reject Cookies, you may not be able to use certain services offered through the Site or App. Furthermore, We reserve the right to retain Cookie data indefinitely.

In addition, We allow third-party companies to collect certain information when you visit our Website or use our App. These companies may utilize their own cookies, pixels, or other technologies to collect and use non-personally identifiable information (e.g., hashed data, click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. To learn more about this behavioral advertising practice or to opt out of this type of advertising, you can visit the websites of the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info and Networking Advertising Initiative at www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.

Clear GIFs

In addition to Cookies, our third-party tracking utility company may employ a software technology called clear GIFs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs) and collects usage data.

Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. They help us better manage content on our Site or in our App by informing us what content is effective with our users.

In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.

We do not tie the information gathered by clear GIFs to personally identifiable information.

User Profile

When you create a user profile on our App or Site, We require an email, username, and password provided by you for account creation. All other information added to your account by you is optional and will be displayed on your public profile. This optional information includes phone number, first name, last name, photo, and Facebook profile.

Use of Information Obtained by Company

Any personal information that you submit at the Site or in our App remains your property. However, by submitting that information to Us, you grant Us the right to use your personal information, subject to applicable state and federal law, in the ways set forth herein.

We will send you service-related announcements when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email. Generally, you may not opt out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature.

Based upon the personally identifiable information you provide us, we will send you a welcome email to verify your email address. We will also communicate with you in response to your inquiries, to provide the services you request, and to manage your account. These communications will be handled with you via email.

We may employ other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples include sending electronic mail, removing duplicate information from user lists, analyzing data, and providing marketing analysis. The agents performing these limited functions on Our behalf shall have access to your personal information as needed, strictly in the performance of their functions. We do not permit them to use your personal information for other purposes.

We will use your personal information for customer service, to provide you with information that you may request, to customize your experience on the Site or in our App, and/or to contact you when necessary in connection with your activities on the Site or in the App. We will also display your personally identifiable information to other users who specifically request it by entering your phone number.

If you claim your phone number in our phone book we will send SMS text message alerts when another user searches your phone number. You may opt out of these SMS electronic messages at any time by replying "STOP." Message and data rates may apply.

With your consent, we may upload your phone's address book to Our servers, including detailed contact information for your contacts. By consenting to this optional feature, we will periodically sync and store your contacts to help you and others identify mystery phone calls and texts. You can stop sharing and delete all of your stored contacts imported from your phone on Our server at any time via our App.

We may also use your personal information for internal business purposes, such as analyzing and managing our business. We may also combine the information we have gathered about you with information from other sources. We may use third parties to help us operate our business or administer activities on the Site or in the App.

We reserve the right to share personally identifiable information in connection with the sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of substantial assets or reorganization or liquidation of Company. Company may release account and any other personally identifiable information: (i) to respond to a subpoena or otherwise comply with the law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Site or in our App; (ii) to enforce or apply this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Service and other Company agreements and policies; (iii) when we deem it necessary or appropriate including, without limitation, sharing your email address with other third parties for suppression purposes in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended from time to time, and Federal Trade Commission implementing regulations; (iv) to other users who first request personally-identifiable information of yours such as the name, address, and likeness associated with a phone number; and/or (v) to protect the rights, property or safety of Company or others, including exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we will share the personal information with our third-party data, marketing, and sales partners for the purpose of sending you marketing emails.

We may maintain separate email lists for different purposes. If you wish to end your email subscription from a particular list, please follow the instructions at the end of each email message to unsubscribe from that particular list. In every e-mail communication that Company sends, there is an unsubscribe hyperlink that allows the recipient to unsubscribe from the specific marketing program by simply clicking the hyperlink provided and following the instructions that follow.
