Our Commitment to Privacy

Verve Cloud, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively “Verve”) are committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to this Web site (“Site”). To accomplish this, we have implemented a comprehensive Online Privacy Policy that governs all information collected on or submitted to our Site. To make this Online Privacy Policy easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personal information may be requested. By accessing, browsing, or using the Site, you acknowledge that you read, understand, and agree to the terms and conditions of Verve’s Online Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, please do not access, browse, or use this Site.

Indirect End User Phone Contact Information (Personal Identifiable Information)

Verve acts as a data processor with regard to indirect end-user personal identifiable information and our clients act as the data controller of such data. In the course of Verve’s processing and protection of such data, all use will be in conformity with the data controller’s instructions.

Specifically, only when enabled via system permission on Verve’s Voice Android and Verve Voice iOS, Verve shows personal contacts within the respective application. When the user sends an SMS message to one of his/her phone contacts, or when the user initiates a call to one of his/her phone contacts, the phone number is sent securely through Verve’s API. Verve does not store this number with any other PII, and it cannot be directly or indirectly attributed to any person or persons; Verve stores only the phone number and pertinent metadata so as to be compliant with all applicable state and federal laws, and Verve does not share this data with any advertisers or third parties under any circumstances. A user can revoke phone contact access on his/her mobile device at any time, and his/her app experience is not hindered or interrupted.

Verve Voice Android and iOS also uses Gravatar, only when enabled via Settings and UIConfigs, which is a service that provides avatar images linked to the MD5 hash of the user’s email address. This means that, only when Gravatar use is enabled, we hash each contact’s email address and send it to Gravatar to try and retrieve an avatar image. MD5 hashes cannot be directly or indirectly attributed to any person or persons, and we only send the MD5 hash to Gravatar, never the email address in plain text. As with phone contacts, a user can revoke Gravatar access at any time in Settings or via UIConfig, and his/her app experience is not hindered or interrupted.

How we use Information submitted to the Site

As a visitor to our Site, you may choose to use the Site to send us personal information (e.g., your name, mailing address, telephone number, email address), for example, when you send a question via the Site, submit your resume, request sales support, or seek technical assistance. Anytime you submit personal information for a specific purpose using the Site, your information is used for that purpose only, unless you consent otherwise or as required by law.

We do not send unsolicited email to you or other visitors to our Site. We use email to respond to email messages from you, to confirm service requests submitted online, and to engage in other communication that you have authorized or that we have determined necessary to more effectively service you and our customers.

In many cases, you choose the amount of information you supply (e.g., when sending us information through the Site, you may choose to include only an email address — not a telephone number or mailing address — for replies). There may be instances where some of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. In such cases, if you do not provide mandatory personal information with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
