Data about our customers’ contacts

We store and process your contacts’ communications-related data such as phone numbers, email addresses, friendly names, addresses, etc. that you create/upload for your contacts. We also process the content of communications sent by you or your contacts to provide services to you and to carry out necessary functions of our business as a communications service provider. All text messages, emails sent, and ringless voicemail recordings are stored until we choose to archive or until you ask us to delete them.

Data Retention

TextP2P uses the following criteria to determine whether or not to retain personal information in our possession. Specifically, we may retain personal information:

  • to fulfill our lawful business obligations to our customers;
  • to comply with legal requirements, including compliance with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, and subpoenas;
  • to test and evaluate the performance and reliability of our Website and Services;
  • to test and evaluate the security and reliability of our Website and Services;
  • to detect and correct security vulnerabilities or intrusions; and
  • to detect and correct violations of our Acceptable Use Policy and other abusive and unpermitted uses of our Website or Services.
  • How We Collect Personal Information

TextP2P uses common information-gathering tools such as cookies, web beacons, pixels and other similar tracking technologies to automatically collect information as you navigate our websites, your account or when you interact with emails we sent to you. We may also collect personal information that you send to us.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data contained in a very small text file that is stored in your browser or elsewhere on your hard drive. Cookies allow us to identify your device when you visit our Website or use our Services. This makes navigating and interacting with our Websites and Services more efficient, secure, and meaningful for you.

By themselves, cookies do not identify you specifically. Rather, they recognize your web browser. So, unless you identify yourself specifically to TextP2P, like signing into your account, we don’t know who you are just because you visited our Website.

TextP2P uses both session and persistent cookies. Session cookies are cookies that disappear from your computer or browser when you turn off your computer. Persistent cookies stay on your computer even after you’ve turned it off. Persistent cookies are required for our Website and Services to function correctly. We are careful about the security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies. For example, we do not store account numbers or passwords in persistent cookies.

How to Control & Delete Cookies

Using Your Browser. You can use your browser settings to opt out of Functional Cookies and Advertising Cookies. For more information on how to do that, click here. To manage privacy and storage settings for flash cookies, click here.

Do Not Track. Some browsers allow a “do not track” (DNT) setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser will send a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug-in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing and stop tracking your activity. To set up DNT, you can visit the All About DNT page. Please note that this may impact the functionality of our Websites and Services because they are not designed to respond to DNT requests.

Global Privacy Control. Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a technical specification that you can use to inform websites of your privacy preferences in regard to ad trackers. To set up GPC, you can visit the Global Privacy Control page. Please note that this may impact the functionality of our Websites and Services.

Opting out of Advertising Cookies. To learn more about how to opt out of targeting and advertising cookies, you can go to the Your Online Choices page, the Network Advertising Initiative page, and the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Choice page. These opt-out tools are provided by third parties, not TextP2P. We do not control or operate these tools or the choices that advertisers and others provide through these tools.

Web Beacons

TextP2P also uses web beacons to gather data about your use of our websites, your account, and how you interact with emails we have sent to you. Web beacons are clear electronic images that can recognize certain types of data on your computer, like when you view a particular website tied to the web beacon, and a description of a website tied to the web beacon. Additionally, we may put web beacons in marketing emails that notify us when you click on a link in the email that directs you to a TextP2P website. We use web beacons to operate and improve our websites and email communications to you.

Information You Provide

When you provide personal information to TextP2P, including by email, text, letter, or public comments, we may retain this information for the legal or business reasons discussed in this Privacy Policy.

Our Security Measures

These measures vary based on the sensitivity of the personal information we collect, process and store and the current state of technology. We also take measures to ensure service providers that process personal data on our behalf also have appropriate security controls in place.

Please note that no service is completely secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss or a data breach will never occur.

How We Use Personal Information for Security Purposes

We may collect and use personal information to detect, prevent, or investigate security incidents, fraud, or abuse and misuse of our Website or Services. In addition, we may use personal information to debug, troubleshoot, or investigate security incidents; to detect and prevent spam or fraudulent activity; and to detect and prevent network exploits and abuse. We may also monitor text message content to detect spam, fraudulent activity, and violations of our Acceptable Use Policy. We may also anonymize personal information and use it for our legitimate business needs.

  • Public Forums and Social Media

TextP2P may provide social media fan pages, online bulletin boards, blogs, or chat rooms on our Website or in connection with our Services. Any personal information you choose to submit in such a forum may be read, collected, or used by others who visit these forums, and they may use that information to send you unsolicited messages.
