CallTrackingMetrics Privacy

Effective date
August 31, 2021

Summary

  • “Customer Data” consists of information made available to us through your use of our Services under our Terms of Service, which includes information such as your name, contact information, billing records, call or messaging logs, and traffic routing information, as well as the content of communications sent through or integrated with our services, such as audio recordings, message bodies, and call recording transcriptions, and for the avoidance of doubt includes all Customer Personal Data.
  • “Customer Personal Data”: means any personal data contained in the Customer Data (where “personal data” has the meaning given to it by the Data Protection Laws).
  • “Data Protection Laws”: means applicable legislation protecting the personal data of natural persons and the privacy of electronic communications, including in particular Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and any national legislation with supplements the GDPR, together with national legislation implementing Directive 2002/58/EC (and any legislation which replaces Directive 2002/58/EC), but excluding the CCPA.
  • CallTrackingMetrics process two categories of Customer Data when you use our products and services
    • Your personal information as a customer (or potential customer) of CallTrackingMetrics services — information that we refer to as Customer Account Information, and
    • The personal information of your end users who use or interact with your account or application that uses CallTrackingMetrics services, like the people you communicate with — this category contains both your Customer Usage Information (e.g., communications metadata) and your Customer Content (e.g., the contents of communications).
  • CallTrackingMetrics processes these categories of Customer Data differently because the direct relationship we have with you, our customer, is different from the indirect relationship we have with your end users.
    • Data protection laws and privacy laws in certain jurisdictions, like the European Economic Area (EEA), differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal information. A controller decides why and how to process personal information.
    • A processor processes personal information on behalf of a controller based on the controller’s instructions. When CallTrackingMetrics processes your Customer Account Information, we are acting as a controller.
  • There are two sections to this Notice:
    • The Privacy Policy addresses the personal information we collect from you,
    • The Platform Privacy Policy addresses the information we collect from your end users.
  • For purposes of this notice, the words “our,” “us,” “we,” and “CallTrackingMetrics” refer to CallTrackingMetrics LLC and our affiliates (which includes any person or entity that controls us, is controlled by us, or is under common control with us, such as our subsidiary, parent company, or our employees). “You” refers to our customer, who is accessing their CallTrackingMetrics account portal and using our products and services.
  • Before you submit any information on or through the CallTrackingMetrics Site or account portal or use CallTrackingMetrics products or services, please carefully review these policies. You acknowledge and understand that, by using any part of the CallTrackingMetrics Site or service, your continued use of the CallTrackingMetrics Site, and/or continued provision of information to us will be subject to the terms of the then-current Privacy Policy.
  • We use cookies to collect data automatically about your use of our website or for advertising. Check out our cookie policy here.

 

Privacy Policy

1. Introduction
Below is a summary of our practices when it comes to information collected when you visit CallTrackingMetrics site and/or use the CallTrackingMetrics account portals and our products and services. If you are interested in learning about our practices relating to information we collect from your end users, see our Platform Privacy here.

Please note that some CallTrackingMetrics customers may have special agreements with us that specify the collection, use, and sharing of their information. If those special agreements and this notice conflict, those special agreements will apply.

 

2. What information we collect, how we collect it and why
Customer Account Information is all the information that relates to the relationship between CallTrackingMetrics and its customers, like our customers’ names, contact information, and billing information, and records.

Broadly speaking, we use Customer Account Information to further our legitimate interests to:

  • understand who our customers and potential customers are and their interests in CallTrackingMetrics product and services,
  • manage our relationship with you and other customers,
  • carry out core business operations such as accounting, filing taxes, and fulfilling regulatory obligations and
  • help detect, prevent, or investigate security incidents, fraud and other abuse and/or misuse of our products and services.

Information you give to us directly on our website
On some pages of the CallTrackingMetrics Site, you can fill in a web form to share your information with us directly, such as on our “Contact Sales” page or on our “Contact Support” page. We collect the information you provide in response to those web forms. Occasionally, we may also offer opportunities for you to share your information with us such as through a survey, to sign up for a newsletter, or to register for or receive details about an event we are hosting. If you participate in those surveys, sign up for a newsletter, or register for an event, we will collect the information you provide to us in doing so.

Information we collect from you automatically
When you visit the CallTrackingMetrics Site, we and our service providers acting on our behalf automatically collect certain data using tracking technologies, like cookies. Want more details on our use of cookies and tracking technologies? Click here.

 

3. We use your information for
Information you give us directly on our website
For information that you give to us directly through the “Contact Sales” and “Contact Support” pages, we will use that information to formulate a response to your inquiry and get back to you with our response. Similarly, if you provide us information directly in response to a survey or when signing up for an event, we will use the information you provide for the reason that you provided it to us.

Information we collect automatically
For information that we collect from you automatically through tracking technologies, we use this to understand how visitors to the CallTrackingMetrics Site are using it and which pages and features of the CallTrackingMetrics Site are most popular. This helps us understand how we can improve our website and track performance of our advertisements. In addition, tracking technologies are used to help improve the navigation experience on the CallTrackingMetrics Site, and to determine propensity-to-purchase calculations (i.e. an analysis of how likely a website user is to purchase our services based on an analysis of their browsing behavior). For more details on our use of cookies and tracking technologies, click here.

Customer Account Information
When you sign up for an account with CallTrackingMetrics through our account portal, you’ll be asked to give us information like your email, name, and address. You’ll also be asked to create a password. We collect this Customer Account Information so that we know who you are, we can communicate with you about your account, and we can recognize you when you communicate with us through the account portal or otherwise.

We use your email address in connection with your account password to authenticate your account and allow you to access your account information through the account portal. When you sign up for an account with CallTrackingMetrics, we’ll assign you an Account ID (and Agency ID if you are on a plan that has an umbrella Agency ID), which acts as a username, and a password. If using our API, you will also be assigned keys and an authentication token that you will need to use in connection with making requests to our APIs. We keep a record of these credentials, so that when you log in to your account, or your application makes requests to our API using these credentials, we know that it is you making the requests.

And, we use your Account ID and API authentication token to authenticate that it is your application that is making requests to our APIs.

If two-factor authentication is set up for your account, we’ll ask you to enter a telephone number to which we will communicate verification codes to verify that it is you logging into your account.

We also use contact information you provide to CallTrackingMetrics to communicate information regarding your account and the products and services you are using or to respond to an inquiry you have sent us.
When you sign up for an account, we’ll ask you to provide our payment processor with your payment method information like your credit card information and/or your billing address. Our payment processor, acting on our behalf, gathers this so that we can bill you for your use of our products and services. For some products, we may also obtain a physical address from you that includes a proof of address, name, or other identification information. For example, to get a phone number in certain countries, local law may require us to have a physical service address on file for the individual who will be using that CallTrackingMetrics number, whether that’s you or your end user, and/or proof of identity and physical service address. We call this “Customer Data”.

We may have to share Customer Data subscriber records with the local telecommunications carrier that provides local connectivity services or with local government authorities. We may also use this physical service address for tax purposes.

Similarly, for some of our products, you or your end user, whoever is going to be making use of the product, may have to complete an application form providing details about your company and your intended use of the product. We’ll use this information for the purpose for which it was gathered from you. We may also use it in connection with improving our own internal processes and services or training our team members.

We also gather information about you when you interact with our customer support team, sales team, or account management team. For example, when you contact our customer support team, you will be asked to give your account information and tell us the question you have or any problem you’re experiencing. We gather this information so that we can help you with your question or problem. When you communicate with our sales team or account management team, we’ll gather information about you, such as your use case and your business requirements, so that these teams are better equipped to assist you. We may also use this information so that we can improve our products and services and train our team members.

All information we collect when you sign up for a CallTrackingMetrics account and interact with the CallTrackingMetrics account portal or our products or services may be used to detect, prevent, or investigate security incidents, fraud, or abuse and misuse of our platform and services. We will also use it, and share it with our service providers, as needed for our operational purposes — such as to do things to function as a business and provide our services to you.

 

4. Who we may share your information with
We share your information in the manner and for the purposes described below:

  • Third-party service providers or consultants: We may share information collected from you on the CallTrackingMetrics Site with third-party service providers or consultants who need access to the data to perform their work on CallTrackingMetrics’s behalf, such as a website analytics company or our third-party advertising partners. These third-party service providers are limited to only accessing or using this data to provide services to us and must provide reasonable assurances that they will appropriately safeguard the information.
  • Compliance with Laws: We may disclose your information to a third party if (i) we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or government request (including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements), (ii) to obtain legal advice, (iii) to enforce our agreements and policies, (iv) to protect the security or integrity of the CallTrackingMetrics Site or our services and products, (v) to protect ourselves, our other customers, or the public from harm or illegal activities, or (vi) to respond to an emergency which we believe in good faith requires us to disclose information to assist in preventing a death or serious bodily injury. If CallTrackingMetrics is required by law to disclose any of your information that directly identifies you, then we will use reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of that disclosure requirement, unless we are prohibited from doing so by statute, subpoena, or court or administrative order. Further, we object to requests that we do not believe were issued properly.
  • Affiliates: We may share information collected from you from the CallTrackingMetrics Site with our affiliates. Our affiliates will use the information for the same purposes as CallTrackingMetrics, as described in this policy.
  • Business transfers: If we go through a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution, or similar event, information we gather from you through our website may be part of the assets transferred or shared in connection with due diligence for any such transaction. Any acquirer or successor of CallTrackingMetrics may continue to use the information we collect from you through our website as described in this policy.
  • Aggregated or de-identified data: We might also share information collected from you from the CallTrackingMetrics Site with a third party if that information has been de-identified or aggregated in a way that does not directly identify you.

We do not share your information (including, but not limited to, the personal data of your end users) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes, unless you give us your consent to do so.

We do not knowingly collect any personal information directly from children under the age of 16. If we discover we have received any personal information from a child under the age of 16 in violation of this Privacy Policy, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe we have any information from or about anyone under the age of 16, please contact us at privacy@calltrackingmetrics.com.

We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites or services linked to or from the Service, including the information or content contained therein. Please remember that when you use a link to go from the CallTrackingMetrics Service to another website, our Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services. Your browsing and interaction on any third-party website or service, including those that have a link or advertisement on our website, are subject to that third party’s own rules and policies.

Social Media Features and Widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions with these Features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, you may opt-out by clicking here: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/ or here: http://www.youronlinechoices.com. Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads.

 

9. How we secure your information
We use appropriate security measures to protect the security of your information both online and offline. These measures vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect, process, and store, and the current state of technology. Please note, though, that no website or internet transmission is completely secure, so while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or a data breach will never occur.

We will store your personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, as explained in this notice. In some circumstances we may store your personal information for longer periods of time; for instance, where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting requirements.

In specific circumstances we may store your personal information for longer periods of time so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your personal information or dealings.

 

10. How we tell you about changes to our privacy practices
We may change our Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we’ll revise the “Effective Date” date at the top of this policy, and we will notify you of those changes through other reasonable means of communication, such as email. We will comply with applicable law with respect to any changes we make to this policy.

Deletion, access, and changes to your information

To request deletion of, access to, or to make changes to information we’ve collected from you via the CallTrackingMetrics Site, email us at privacy@calltrackingmetrics.com.

We also will not delete your information if we are legally required to maintain it.

We may ask you for additional information to confirm your identity and for security purposes, before taking any action in respect of your information. We reserve the right to charge a fee where permitted by law; for instance, if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

The following information is provided for the benefit of CallTrackingMetrics Site users resident in the European Union.

Lawful basis for processing. We will only collect, use and share your personal information where we are satisfied that we have an appropriate legal basis to do this. This will be because:

  • you have provided consent to us using the personal information, for example you have opted-in to receiving marketing communications from us;
  • our use of your personal information is in our legitimate interest as a commercial organization (for example communicating with you to resolve a complaint or query, or tracking your use of the CallTrackingMetrics Site using cookies in order to improve and tailor your browsing experience) – in these cases we will look after your information at all times in a way that is proportionate and respects your privacy rights and you have a right to object to this processing as explained below;
  • our use of your personal information is necessary to comply with a relevant legal or regulatory obligation that we have, for example where we are required to disclose data to a government body, law enforcement agency or regulator.

 

Your EU rights.
In addition to the erasure, access and correction rights referred to in section 12 above, you also have a right to object to direct marketing, and to any use of your personal information which is based on a ‘legitimate interest’ justification.

You also have a right to obtain a copy of personal information safeguards used for transfers outside your jurisdiction, and to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

To exercise any EU specific right, please contact privacy@calltrackingmetrics.com.

International Transfers.
CallTrackingMetrics is based in the United States of America, and you understand that by browsing the CallTrackingMetrics Site your information will be stored on servers in that country, which has different standards of data protection.

In addition, we use service providers located around the world. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that transfers of personal information are in accordance with applicable law to protect your privacy rights and interests. Where we receive requests for information from law enforcement or regulators, we carefully validate these requests before any personal information is disclosed.

 

15. California Consumer Privacy Act – Information for California Consumers
This section provides specific information for residents of California (“consumers”), as required under California privacy laws, and is intended to satisfy the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which requires that we provide certain information to consumers about how we handle certain personal information that we have collected.

You should also refer to sections 2, 3, and 4 of this notice, which provide further detail about what personal information we collect, for what purposes, and where we disclose this information to third parties.

 

Out-of-scope Information
This notice does not address our handling of personal information about consumers that is exempt from the CCPA because it is covered by existing qualifying privacy laws. It also does not address personal information collected in a business-to-business context (defined as personal information reflecting a communication or transaction with a consumer, where that consumer is acting as an employee, owner, director, officer, or contractor of another business, non-profit or government entity, and where the communication or transaction occurs solely within the context of us conducting due diligence regarding, or providing or receiving a product or service to or from the other business). Finally, this notice does not address our handling of personal information about consumers which we undertake on behalf of our customers, in the context of providing those customers with our products and services. In those contexts, we act as a service provider under the CCPA. Please refer to our Platform Privacy Policy for more information in this respect.

Incentives and Discrimination. The CCPA prohibits discrimination against California consumers for exercising their rights under the CCPA and imposes requirements on any financial incentives offered to California consumers related to their personal information. Businesses may offer different prices, rates, or quality of goods or services if the difference is reasonably related to the value of the consumer’s data.

 

CallTrackingMetrics Platform Privacy Policy

Introduction
Below is a summary of our practices when it comes to information collected on your behalf from your end users. CallTrackingMetrics is a contact management company. Our customers are generally marketing agencies or businesses. Our customers generally use CallTrackingMetrics products and services to track the performance of their marketing campaigns, their sales teams and their contact centers. Our customers then often have their own customers or users of the reporting they are compiling and the communication campaigns they are developing using CallTrackingMetrics products and services. To avoid confusion, we’ll call the individuals that use our customers’ applications the “end users.”

CallTrackingMetrics generally does not interact directly with our customers’ end users. Instead, end users interact with our customers’ websites or contact our customers (or their customers) via phone, text or form, which in turn interacts with our products and services. So, if you’re an end user of a website that has CallTrackingMetrics code running on it or calling a phone number that is managed by a CallTrackingMetrics customer, you should check out that customer’s terms of service and privacy policy to find out how they collect, use, store and share your information. We are not responsible for our customers’ privacy policies or privacy practices.

1.What information we collect, how we collect it and why

Customer Usage Information
Customer Usage Information includes operational information like call or messaging logs, origination and termination points (i.e. to/from numbers), traffic routing information, API requests, or usage information.

Customer Content
Customer Content consists of the communications that are sent through the use of CallTrackingMetrics products and services, like the body of a text message or phone call.

We may collect Customer Content in connection with your use of our products or services. For example, if you use our messaging services, we collect the messages being sent and received so that we can convey those messages to and from the carrier networks and surface the content in your account portal and in our API. Similarly, to transmit voice calls to and from the telecommunications carrier networks, we have to collect the voice communications being sent and received to route them appropriately, and then surface that information in our portal and our API. You can also use our products and services to record voice communications or have them transcribed, in which case, we will also collect those voice recordings or transcriptions.

If you are using our tracking code on your website, we also collect on your behalf the information about the visitors to your website such as their IP address, their landing page, referring URL, and the online ads that led them to your website. The tracking code uses cookies to identify the visitors to your websites so that the tracking code can display the correct tracking number to your end users and associate phone, form, or text activity to the correct website visit.

If you are using caller ID services that we offer through a sub processor, we will collect information about your end users such as the caller’s name, phone number, and the city in which the phone number is registered (not available in all countries or for all phone numbers). In addition, cCustomers can enable our premium caller ID service which uses one of our sub processors to collect address and other demographic information about an end user, such as marital status and occupation.

As stated above, cCustomers have the control over which information they want to collect and what they are doing with that information. We provide the tools to collect the information. So, if you are an end user of one of our cCustomers and you believe that your information is being collected by them, you should check out their terms of service and privacy policy to find out how they collect, use, store, and share your information. We are not responsible for our cCustomers’ privacy policies or privacy practices.

You should not use CallTrackingMetrics products or services to receive, send, or otherwise process Personal Health Information (PHI) as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 as amended (HIPAA), unless you have a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with CallTrackingMetrics or your use case for CallTrackingMetrics products and services does not require a BAA. CallTrackingMetrics disclaims all liability for PHI sent, received, or processed through CallTrackingMetrics products or services without a Business Associate Agreement.

Please contact our sales team to speak further regarding HIPAA-compliant uses of CallTrackingMetrics products and service.

2. What we use your information for
Generally, we use all the information that you provide to us or that we collect to provide our products and services to you, to deliver your communications to their intended destination, to provide reporting on your communication programs in your account portal, to analyze our customers’ use of our products and services, to improve our products and services, and to detect fraudulent or unlawful activity in connection with CallTrackingMetrics accounts.

Below are some additional details regarding how we use categories of information we collect.

Customer Usage Information

When you use our products and services, we collect Customer Usage Information. This may include information like what commands your application has communicated to CallTrackingMetrics through the API, what configurations you have made in your account portal, your IP addresses, how many times you used a CallTrackingMetrics product or service, when the product or service was used by you or your end users, the number of website visits, calls, messages, or form entries that occurred, the length of calls or messages, where those calls or messages originated or terminated, how those calls or messages were routed, and whether or not the connection was successful or failed.

We collect Customer Usage Information so that you can view it in the account portal and you can manage your use of our products and services. We also collect it so that we can properly bill you for your use of our products and services, appropriately manage and route customer traffic, analyze and improve our products and services, and identify and solve problems that arise. We also use certain usage information to support regulatory requirements, such as calculation and reporting of tax or similar obligations.

Customer Content.

We use Customer Content for the purposes of including it in your reporting in your account portal or through the API, conveying it to and from telecommunications carrier networks, or recording and transcribing it per your instruction. We may also use Customer Content stored on our systems to troubleshoot issues such as call quality concerns.

Promotional emails.

We will use your email address to send you information about other CallTrackingMetrics products, services, or events that you might be interested in. You can choose not to receive marketing emails from CallTrackingMetrics at any time. If you wish to stop receiving CallTrackingMetrics marketing emails you may click on the unsubscribe link that will appear at the bottom of any CallTrackingMetrics marketing emails or you can contact customer support.

We will use publicly-available Customer Account Information about your company, such as your industry, the size of your company, and your company’s website URL, to help us understand our customer base better and to tailor information we send you about other CallTrackingMetrics products, services, or events.

If you provide us with a physical address in order to obtain a number for which CallTrackingMetrics is required to have your physical address on file, we’ll use that address so that we can confirm we can allow you to have that number. We may also check the physical address you provide and/or your billing address, as well as other information you provide or that we obtained from your use of our service about your identity such as your name, email address, and IP address, with our fraud prevention and identity validation providers (to confirm you have provided us with accurate details). We may also use your address information to calculate taxes. We may also have to share these addresses with the telecommunications provider from whom CallTrackingMetrics obtained the phone number or local authorities upon their request. Unless prohibited from doing so by law, we’ll let you know if we have to share your address information like this.

We use your payment information so we can bill you and be paid for your use of our products and services.

3. Who we may share your information with
Unless you give us your permission, we won’t share your Customer Content, Customer Account Information, or Customer Usage Information with third parties, except as described below:

  • Cloud Communication Providers and Telephony operators as necessary for proper routing and connectivity. Customer Content and certain Customer Usage Information is shared with and received from communication providers and telephony operators to the extent necessary to route and connect those communications from the sender to the intended recipient. How those providers and telephony operators handle your Customer Content and Customer Usage Data is generally determined by those operators’ own policies and local regulations.
  • Third-party service providers or consultants. We may share your information stored on our systems with third-party service providers or consultants who need access to the information to perform their work on CallTrackingMetrics behalf, like sharing relevant Customer Account Information with our payment processor so it can process payments on our behalf, or our storage provider for storing your information on our behalf.
