If you post, upload, comment, or otherwise submit content on the Services, we may collect certain information about you such as your name and email address and products you may have used. Be aware that as a default, any information you post on the Services, including without limitation review, comments, and text, may be available to and searchable by all users of the Services. We collect this information for the purposes of account creation and management, advertising and marketing, analytics and research, customer service, and website security and maintenance.
  • Customer Proprietary Network Information (“CPNI”): We collect and maintain certain customer proprietary network information (“CPNI”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission. CPNI includes the types of services you currently receive and related usage and billing information for those services. This information is needed for us to provide you with our services and to seek compensation for our services from the Telecommunications Relay Services Fund. This information will be used to assess and improve our Products and Services. Your telephone number, name, and address are not CPNI. We do not sell, trade, or share your CPNI except as authorized by you or required by law. Generally, and not exclusively, we can use your CPNI without your approval to offer additional, related services to you, and for billing and collections purposes. We require your approval to market unrelated services to you, which we would seek via electronic methods. Before doing so, we will provide you notice of your right to restrict use and disclosure of, and access to, your CPNI. In addition, we can disclose your CPNI without your prior knowledge or consent for legal or regulatory reasons, including in response to subpoenas and court orders. We can also use CPNI to investigate fraud and to prevent violation of our Terms, Conditions, and Acceptable use Policies and unlawful use of our network and services. To use your CPNI for other reasons not set out in this Section we will provide you the option to “opt-out” or “opt-in” to such uses and disclosures. Generally, we may obtain your consent after providing notification through oral, written, or electronic methods.

Our services may require automated speech-recognition systems and individuals, including our representatives and agents, to process, listen to, and transcribe the incoming audio portion (one side) of your telephone conversations. To do this, the incoming audio portion of your telephone call audio will be transmitted to us, or our third-party contractors, for transcription and captioning. To protect your privacy, neither the audio transmission nor transcription of the call will be retained by us or our third-party contractors. By using our services, you agree to the transmission of the incoming audio portion of your telephone call audio to us or our agents and waive any rights you may have under applicable law restricting the same. To the extent permitted by law, you waive all privacy laws governing telephone communications and monitoring of the same. We provide telecommunications relay services, which are regulated by the FCC and will comply with the applicable FCC regulations. To the extent that any consent to disclosure of customer information set forth above in this Section is inconsistent with Sorenson’s obligations under applicable law with respect to protecting, storing, and using customer proprietary network information, we will adhere to the requirements of applicable law.

We will respond to these consumer requests, if applicable, within 45 days of receipt of the request and without undue delay. If we need to extend this period, we will notify you of the delay and explain the reasonably necessary justifications for our delay. 

We will provide responses to your requests free of charge unless certain exclusions apply, depending on the state in which you reside. We may charge a fee in:

Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah if you make more than one request in a twelve-month period; and

Connecticut and Virginia, if the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, or repetitive in nature.

Appealing a Rights Request Decision

If you are a resident of Colorado, Connecticut, or Virginia, and we deny or fail to take action on your request to exercise your applicable consumer privacy rights, you may appeal our decision. To do this, email us at [email protected]. In the email appeal, specify the right(s) you requested to exercise and the date on which you originally made the request. 

We will inform you in writing within 45 days of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal. We will also provide a written explanation of the reasons for our decisions regarding your request(s).

5. Nevada Users’ Rights

Under Nevada law, certain Nevada consumers may opt-out of the sale of certain personally identifiable information for monetary consideration to a person for that person to license or sell such information to additional persons. We do not sell personally identifiable information under Nevada law.

If you are a Nevada resident who has purchased or leased goods or services from us, you may (A) submit a request to opt-out of any potential future sales, and/or (B) request changes to your information by emailing us at [email protected]. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity and the authenticity of the request.

6. European Users’ Rights

This section of our Privacy Policy is applicable to persons located in the European Union (“EU”), a European Economic Area member state (“EEA”), United Kingdom (“UK”), or Switzerland as well as to persons whose personal information is processed in or transferred from the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland. You are entitled under the EU General Data Protection Regulation and UK General Data Protection Regulation (collectively, the “GDPR”), to the information in this section of our Privacy Policy.

Your Rights

You are entitled by law to have the right of access, to information, to be informed, to be forgotten (erasure), to rectification, to restrict the processing of your personal information or data about you we hold. A summary listing these rights appears below. These rights are not absolute and certain exemptions may apply to specific requests you may submit to us.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below in the“Contact Us” section or view our “Make a Data Subject Request” page (Do Not Sell/Share My Information - Sorenson). For your protection, we may need to verify your identity before responding to your request. If we refuse a request, we will provide a reason as to why.

Asking us to access your personal information

You have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not we are processing personal information about you, and if so, the right to be provided with the information contained in this Policy. You also have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information. When making a request, please provide an accurate description of the personal information to which you want access. Where requests are repetitive or manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative cost.

Asking us to correct your personal information

You have the right to ask us to correct information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete.

Asking us to delete your personal information

You have the right to ask us to erase your personal information if:

  • We no longer need it for the purposes for which we collected it;
  • We have been using it with no valid legal basis;
  • We are obligated to erase it to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject;
  • We need your consent to use the information and you withdraw consent; or
  • You object to us processing your personal information where our legal basis for doing so is our legitimate interests and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing.

However, this right is not absolute. Even if you make a request for deletion, we may need to retain certain information for legal or administrative purposes, such as record keeping, maintenance of opt-out requirements, defending or making legal claims, or detecting fraudulent activities. We will retain information in accordance with the “How Long Is Your Personal Information Kept” pursuant to section 8 below.

If you do exercise a valid right to have your personal information deleted, keep in mind that deletion by third parties to whom the information has been provided might not be immediate and the deleted information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period (but will not be available to others).

Asking us to restrict our use of your personal information

You have the right to ask us to place a restriction on our use of your personal information if one of the following applies to you:

  • You contest the accuracy of the information we hold about you, while we verify its accuracy;
  • We have used your information unlawfully, but you request us to restrict its use instead of erasing it;
  • We no longer need the information for the purpose for which we collected it, but you need it to address a legal claim; or
  • You have objected to us using your information, while we check whether our legitimate grounds override your right to object.

The right to transfer your personal information to another service provider

You have the right to ask that we transfer the personal information you gave us from one organization to another, or give it to you (i.e., data portability). This applies to personal information we are processing to service a contract with you and to personal information we are processing based on your consent.

The right to withdraw consent 

If we obtain your written consent to collect and process your personal information, you can subsequently withdraw such consent as to any further processing of such information.

The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority 

If you believe your rights under the GDPR have been violated, the GDPR gives you the right to file a complaint with your supervisory authority. A list of supervisory authorities is available here: EEA and EU Data Protection Authorities (DPAs); Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC); UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Rights related to automated decision-making 

To the extent that we engage in decision-making based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or which significantly affects you, you have the right not to be subject to such decision-making.

Right to object to processing

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information based on legitimate interests or your consent (rather than when the reason for using it is to perform an obligation due to you being under a contract with us). If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or we can demonstrate the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. You can object to the processing of your personal information by contacting us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below. 

Legal Bases for Processing Your Personal Information

Sorenson collects your personal information to provide our products and Services to you; otherwise, we may not be able to process the transactions you request. We will only process your personal information when we have a lawful basis for doing so. If you are in a country in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you are entitled to an explanation of the legal bases we rely on to process your personal information. The legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it, which is discussed below.

  • Consent. We may process your personal information based on your consent such as when you purchase a service or ask us to send you certain kinds of marketing communications. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
  • Children’s Consent. We do not knowingly process data of EU, EEA, UK, or Swiss residents under the age of 16 without verified parental consent.
  • Our Legitimate Interests. We may process your personal information if doing so is necessary for our legitimate interests relating to our business purposes arising from your relationship with us, and your rights as an individual do not override those legitimate interests. For example, our legitimate interests include but are not limited to when we process your personal information to carry out fraud prevention activities, and activities to increase network and information security, identify usage trends, determine the effectiveness of promotional campaigns, expand our business activities, and improve our services and the content and functionality of our Services. Our legitimate interests also include providing you with the products and services you request, view, engage with, or purchase and communicating with you regarding your account or transactions with us.
  • To Perform a Contract. We may process your personal information to administer and fulfill contractual obligations to you. We will also collect and process your personal information as necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party.
  • To Enable Us to Comply with a Legal Obligation. We may process your personal information to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject. This may include any requirement to produce audited accounts, any legal obligation to share information with law enforcement agencies, public or governmental authorities, and to comply with legal process.
  • Necessary for the Exercise or Defense of Legal Claims. If you bring a claim against us or we bring a claim against you, we may process your personal information in relation to that claim.

Depending on the situation, we may be the controller or the processor for personal information collected from residents of the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland. If you have any questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information for any specific processing activity, contact us using the “Contact Us” section below.

Cross-Border Transfers of Personal Information

Our Services are operated in the United States. Personal information about you provided while in the EU, an EEA member state, the UK, or Switzerland may be transferred to the United States. Your personal data may be transferred to or accessed by entities around the world, including but at times not limited to Sorenson affiliates, to perform processing activities such as those described in our Privacy Policy in connection with your use of our products and services. Sorenson complies with privacy regulations on the transfer of Personal Data (PD) between countries to help ensure our data is protected. The laws in the United States may not be as protective as the GDPR or the laws of other jurisdictions where you may be located. If we transfer personal information from the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland, or another country with cross-border transfer obligations, we will provide an appropriate safeguard, such as using the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or the Adequacy Decision.

To obtain a copy of the safeguard(s), please contact us using the information provided in the“Contact Us” section below.

7. Advertising and Marketing Choice

We respect your rights in how your personal information is used and shared. If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, send an email to [email protected] or follow the instructions below, and we will promptly remove you from marketing correspondence. Note: we may still need to contact you regarding other matters.

If you no longer want to receive marketing-related emails from us going-forward, you may opt-out by using the mechanism contained in each such email or text message (SMS). Otherwise, you may unsubscribe by clicking the unsubscribe link in the footer of marketing emails you receive from Sorenson.

By providing your mobile phone number to us and consent to receive text messages, you opt-in and consent to receiving messages from us, which include but are not limited to text messages sent through an automatic telephone-dialing system. Consent to receive marketing text messages is not required as a condition of working with us. If you do not wish to receive marketing text messages, do not provide us with consent or follow the instructions in any message you receive from us to opt-out or unsubscribe.

8. Retargeting

Based on information relating to your use of our sites, we may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads regarding our services when you access and use other websites. These companies may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser (including through the use of beacons and pixels). By utilizing the sites affiliated with Sorenson or CaptionCall, you consent to the use of cookies or other tracking technologies to serve you retargeted advertising. Data collected may be shared with third-party vendors for cross-device linking and advertising purposes. If you would like to learn more about cross-device linking, visit Google’s Advertiser cross-device linking - Advertising Policies Help (google.com), or click the “Your Privacy Choices” pop-up tab in the lower-left corner of any Sorenson.com web page.

9. How Long We Keep Your Personal Information (Data Retention or Retention Policy)

We will retain your personal information until the personal information is no longer necessary to accomplish the purpose for which it was provided. We may retain your personal information for longer periods for specific purposes to the extent that we are obligated to do so in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, to protect you, other people, and us from fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, as necessary to protect our legal rights, or for certain business requirements.

We will delete your personal information when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or upon your request, subject to exceptions as discussed in this Statement or under applicable law, contract, or regulation.

If you use our mobile application, you can delete your account by submitting a request to [email protected] or by deleting your account through the application. If you delete your account from within the application, we will delete the accompanying personal data subject to legal and contractual requirements.

10. Our Commitment to Data Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. We take various reasonable organizational, administrative, and technical measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. If required by law to do so, we will notify you and/or the relevant supervisory authority in the event of a data breach.

However, we cannot and do not guarantee complete security, as it does not exist on the internet.

11. Where Your Personal Information Is Held

We process personal information on our servers in the United States of America and may do so in other countries. If you use our Services or otherwise provide us with information from outside of the United States, you expressly consent to the transfer of your data to the United States, the processing of your data in the United States, and the storage of your data in the United States.

12. Third-Party Links

Sorenson’s Services may contain links to third-party websites. When we provide links, we do so only as a convenience, and we are not responsible for any content of any third-party website, or any links contained within those websites. Our provision of a link to any other website or third-party services does not signify any endorsement of such website or any services, contents or business practices associated therewith. It is important to note that this Statement only applies to Sorenson’s Services and not to any third-party websites, products, or services. We are not responsible and assume no responsibility for any personal information collected, stored, or used by any third party as a result of your visit to third-party websites. We also advise that you carefully read the privacy notice of any third-party websites you choose to visit.

13. Children’s Privacy

Collection of Children’s Information. Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. Some of our Services are intended for children under 13 years of age, but note that the Site is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect or otherwise process personal information from anyone under 13 without first obtaining verified permission from that child’s parent or legal guardian. This Policy, along with any additional parental-consent forms provided as part of the provision of the Services to children, describes our privacy practices including the way we collect and process your child’s information. 

Obtaining Your Consent. Before your child uses our Services, we will obtain your affirmative and verifiable consent. We will obtain your consent via (1) your signed consent or application form (as applicable) or (2) providing you this Policy, asking whether you consent to these practices, and having you verify your identity by providing a valid, government-issued form of identification.

Information We Collect About Children. When you apply for our Services on behalf of your child and consent to the processing of your child’s personal information, we will collect the information listed in this Policy from you about your child. We may also collect certain information from you (the parent or guardian), as required by law or regulation and for administrative and billing purposes. 

How We Use and Share Information About Children. After we receive your permission to provide Services to your child, we will collect, store, and disclose personal information necessary to provide those Services to your child. We may share information about your child and your child’s use of the Services with third parties for billing and administrative purposes and otherwise, as required or permitted by law or regulation. We may share information about your child with government agencies and private entities responsible for administering or overseeing the Telecommunications Relay Service (“TRS”) Fund and verifying eligibility for Sorenson services. For example, Sorenson may submit your and your child’s information to the TRS User Registration Database, a database administered by a government contractor, as required by Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) regulations. Additionally, we will submit information about your and your child’s TRS usage to the Administrator of the TRS Fund and/or the FCC for billing purposes.

Sorenson may also share your child’s name, image (if your child uploads an image), and video phone number(s) with other Sorenson users in your child’s contact list. Sorenson may also share information about your child’s location with emergency services if your child calls 911 from a mobile device enabled with the Services.

Your Choices About Your Child’s Information. You have control over the ongoing collection, use, and disclosure of your child’s personal information. You may also request deletion of your child’s personal information at any time. You have the right to consent to Sorenson’s collection and use of your child’s personal information while withholding consent for disclosure of that personal information to third parties. You may review, delete, or prohibit further collection of your child’s information at any time. If you have further questions or requests related to Sorenson’s online collection of information from children, send an email to [email protected].

14. Policy Changes

This Statement may change from time to time. If we need to change this Statement at some point in the future, we will post any changes on this page. If we make a significant or material change to this Statement, we will notify you via email if you have provided an email. You should check these terms when you use the Site. Your continued use of the Site constitutes acceptance of the most current version of this Statement.

  • La Información de Redes Sociales incluye información que usted publica cuando comparte algo en un sitio web público o en otra plataforma de redes sociales.  Recopilamos esta información cuando usted nos la entrega directamente.  Sus comentarios serán visibles para el público, por lo que nunca debe compartir información personal que le gustaría mantener en privado.  Recopilamos esta información con fines de publicidad y mercadeo, análisis e investigación, servicio al cliente y seguridad y mantenimiento del sitio web.

  • Información de la Red Propiedad del Cliente (Customer Proprietary Network Information, “CPNI”): Recopilamos y conservamos determinada información de red de la propiedad del cliente (“CPNI”) de conformidad con las normas y los reglamentos de la Comisión Federal de Comunicaciones. La CPNI incluye los tipos de servicios que recibe actualmente y el uso relacionado y la información de facturación de esos servicios.  Esta información es necesaria para que podamos brindarle nuestros servicios y solicitar una compensación por nuestros servicios del Fondo de Servicios de Retransmisión de Telecomunicaciones. Esta información se usará para evaluar y mejorar nuestros Productos y Servicios.  Su número de teléfono, nombre y dirección no son CPNI. No vendemos, intercambiamos ni compartimos su CPNI, excepto en los casos autorizados por usted o exigidos por la ley. En general, y no exclusivamente, podemos usar su CPNI sin su aprobación para ofrecerle servicios adicionales relacionados y para fines de facturación y cobro. Necesitamos su aprobación para comercializarle servicios no relacionados, que buscaríamos a través de métodos electrónicos. Antes de hacerlo, le informaremos sobre su derecho a restringir el uso, la divulgación y el acceso a su CPNI. Además, podemos divulgar su CPNI sin su previo conocimiento o consentimiento por motivos legales o reglamentarios, como en caso de respuesta a citaciones y órdenes judiciales. También podemos usar la CPNI para investigar fraude y evitar la violación de nuestros Términos, Condiciones y Políticas de uso aceptable y el uso ilegal de nuestra red y servicios. Para usar su CPNI por otros motivos no establecidos en esta Cláusula, le daremos la opción de “excluirse” o “aceptar” dichos usos y divulgaciones.

Nuestros servicios pueden requerir sistemas automatizados de reconocimiento de voz y personas, incluidos nuestros representantes y agentes, para procesar, escuchar y transcribir la parte de audio entrante (un lado) de sus conversaciones telefónicas. Para hacer esto, la parte de audio entrante de su llamada telefónica se transmitirá a nosotros, o a nuestros contratistas externos, para su transcripción y subtitulado. Para proteger su privacidad, ni nosotros ni nuestros contratistas externos conservaremos ni la transmisión de audio ni la transcripción de la llamada.

En la medida permitida por la ley, renuncia a todas las leyes de privacidad que rigen las comunicaciones telefónicas y su seguimiento. Prestamos servicios de retransmisión de telecomunicaciones, que están reglamentados por la FCC, y cumpliremos la normativa aplicable de la FCC. En la medida en que todo consentimiento para la divulgación de la información del cliente establecida antes en esta Cláusula sea contrario a las obligaciones de Sorenson en virtud de la ley aplicable con respecto a la protección, el almacenamiento y el uso de la información de red propiedad del cliente, cumpliremos los requisitos de la ley aplicable.

  • Usted impugna la exactitud de la información que tenemos sobre usted, mientras verificamos su exactitud;
  • Usamos sus datos ilegalmente, pero usted nos pide que restrinjamos su uso en lugar de borrarlos;
  • Ya no necesitamos la información para el propósito para el cual la recopilamos, pero usted la necesita para abordar un reclamo legal; o
  • Usted se ha opuesto a que usemos su información, mientras verificamos si nuestros motivos legítimos anulan su derecho a oponerse.

Derecho a oponerse al procesamiento

Tiene derecho a oponerse al tratamiento de su información personal basado en intereses legítimos o en su consentimiento (y no cuando el motivo de su uso sea cumplir una obligación debido a que usted está bajo contrato con nosotros).  Si presenta dicha objeción, dejaremos de procesar la información personal a menos que podamos demostrar motivos legítimos imperiosos para el procesamiento que prevalezcan sobre sus intereses, derechos y libertades, o podamos demostrar que el procesamiento es para el establecimiento, el ejercicio o la defensa de reclamos legales.  Para oponerse al procesamiento de su información personal, comuníquese según la información en la sección “Contáctenos” a continuación. 

Bases legales para el procesamiento de su información personal

Sorenson recopila su información personal para proporcionarle nuestros productos y Servicios; de lo contrario, es posible que no podamos procesar las transacciones que solicite.  Solo procesaremos su información personal cuando tengamos una base legal para hacerlo.  Si se encuentra en un país de la EU, el EEA, el UK o Suiza, tiene derecho a una explicación de las bases legales en las que nos basamos para procesar su información personal.  La base legal para recopilar y usar la información personal descrita arriba dependerá de la información personal en cuestión y del contexto específico en el que la recopilemos, el cual se analiza a continuación.

  • Consentimiento.  Podemos procesar su información personal de acuerdo con su consentimiento, por ejemplo, cuando adquiere un servicio o nos pide que le enviemos determinados tipos de comunicaciones de mercadeo.  Tiene derecho a retirar su consentimiento en cualquier momento sin que ello afecte a la licitud del tratamiento basada en el consentimiento anterior a su retirada.

  • Para ejecutar un contrato.  Podemos procesar su información personal para administrar y cumplir obligaciones contractuales con usted.  También recopilaremos y procesaremos su información personal según sea necesario para la ejecución de un contrato en el que usted sea parte.

  • Necesario para el ejercicio o la defensa de reclamos legales.  Si usted presenta un reclamo contra nosotros o nosotros presentamos un reclamo contra usted, podremos procesar sus datos personales relacionados con dicho reclamo.

Según la situación, podemos ser el controlador o el procesador de la información personal recopilada de residentes de la EU, el EEA, el UK o Suiza.  Si tiene alguna pregunta o necesita más información sobre la base jurídica en virtud de la cual recogemos y usamos su información personal para cualquier actividad de procesamiento específica, comuníquese por la sección “Contáctenos” que aparece a continuación.

13.  Privacidad de menores

Recopilación de información de menores.  Proteger la privacidad de los más jóvenes es especialmente importante.  Algunos de nuestros Servicios están diseñados para niños menores de 13 años, pero tenga en cuenta que el Sitio no está diseñado para niños menores de 13 años.  No recopilamos ni procesamos intencionalmente información personal de ninguna persona menor de 13 años sin obtener primero el permiso verificado de los padres o tutores legales de ese menor.  Esta Política, junto con todo formulario adicional de consentimiento de los padres entregado como parte de la prestación de los Servicios a menores, describe nuestras prácticas de privacidad, incluida la forma en la que recopilamos y procesamos la información de su menor. 

Obtener su consentimiento. Antes de que su menor use nuestros Servicios, obtendremos su consentimiento afirmativo y verificable.  Obtendremos su consentimiento a través de (1) su consentimiento firmado o formulario de solicitud (según corresponda) o (2) proporcionándole esta Política, preguntándole si acepta estas prácticas y pidiéndole que verifique su identidad mediante un documento de identidad válido emitido por el gobierno.

Información que recopilamos sobre niños. Cuando solicita nuestros Servicios en nombre de su menor y da su consentimiento para el procesamiento de su información personal, recopilaremos la información que se enumera en esta Política sobre su menor.  También podemos recopilar cierta información suya (el padre o tutor), según lo exige la ley o los reglamentos y para fines administrativos y de facturación. 

Cómo usamos y compartimos información sobre los menores.  Después de recibir su permiso para brindar Servicios a su menor, recopilaremos, almacenaremos y divulgaremos la información personal necesaria para brindar esos Servicios a su menor.  Podemos compartir información sobre su menor y el uso que haga de los Servicios con terceros para fines administrativos y de facturación y de otro modo, según lo requiera o permita la ley o los reglamentos.  Podemos compartir información sobre su menor con agencias gubernamentales y entidades privadas responsables de administrar o supervisar el Fondo del Servicio de Retransmisión de Telecomunicaciones (“TRS”) y verificar la elegibilidad para los servicios de Sorenson.  Por ejemplo, Sorenson puede enviar su información y la de su hijo a la Base de Datos de Registro de Usuarios del TRS, una base de datos administrada por un contratista gubernamental, según lo exigen los reglamentos de la Comisión Federal de Comunicaciones (Federal Communications Commission, “FCC”).  Además, enviaremos información sobre su uso del TRS y el de su menor al Administrador del Fondo del TRS o a la FCC para fines de facturación.

Sorenson también puede compartir el nombre, la imagen (si su menor sube una imagen) y los números de videoteléfono de su menor con otros usuarios de Sorenson en la lista de contactos de su menor.  Sorenson también puede compartir información sobre la ubicación de su menor con los servicios de emergencia si su menor llama al 911 desde un dispositivo móvil habilitado con los Servicios.

Sus opciones sobre la información de su menor.  Usted tiene control sobre la recopilación, el uso y la divulgación continua de la información personal de su menor.  También puede solicitar la eliminación de la información personal de su menor en cualquier momento.  Usted tiene derecho a dar su consentimiento para que Sorenson recopile y use la información personal de su menor y, al mismo tiempo, puede denegar su consentimiento para la divulgación de dicha información personal a terceros. Puede revisar, eliminar o prohibir la recopilación adicional de información de su menor en cualquier momento.  Si tiene más preguntas o solicitudes relacionadas con la recopilación de información de menores en línea de Sorenson, envíe un correo electrónico a [email protected].

FCC Disclaimer

If you choose Sorenson Communications, LLC (“Sorenson”) as your default provider, you can port your existing 10-digit number to Sorenson from another provider or Sorenson can provide you with one for the geographic area where you live or work. If you later change your default provider, you can port your number to that provider. When selecting Sorenson, you must provide to Sorenson the physical address (i.e., the Registered Location) from which you are placing the call, so that Sorenson can properly route any 911 calls you may make. If you move or change your location, you must notify Sorenson immediately. You can update your Registered Location from your Sorenson videophone by calling 866-756-6729 or by visiting www.svrs.com/moving.

Sorenson will confirm receipt of your Registered Location information. Emergency calls made via internet- based TRS may not function the same as traditional E911 service. For example, you may not be able to dial 911 if there is an internet-service failure or if you lose electrical power, and your 911 call may not be routed correctly if you have not updated your Registered Location. For more information on the process of obtaining 10-digit numbers and the limitations and risks associated with using Sorenson’s VRS to place a 911 call, please visit Sorenson’s website: www.sorensonvrs.com/disclaimer. For information on toll-free numbering, please visit www.sorensonvrs.com/tollfree.

The English language version of this Disclaimer shall be controlling in all respects, notwithstanding any translation of this Disclaimer made for any purpose whatsoever. If any translation of this Disclaimer conflicts with the English version or contains terms in addition to or different from the English version, the English version shall prevail.

This Disclaimer was last updated and is effective as of August 24, 2018.

911 Legal Disclaimer

SPECIAL DISCLAIMER FOR INTERPRETING SERVICES INVOLVING CALLS TO EMERGENCY SERVICE PROVIDERS (911/E911), OR LEGAL, MEDICAL OR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

IMPORTANT: Please read the following disclaimer of Sorenson Communications, LLC (“Sorenson”) before using Sorenson telecommunications relay services, including but not limited to Video Relay Service (“VRS”), or other IP-based relay services (collectively, “IP-based Relay Services”), or any video remote or in-person interpreting services obtained incidental to or in conjunction with Sorenson’s provision of IP-based Relay Services. Any such use, including by “dialing around” your default VRS provider, is governed by the following disclaimer (this “Disclaimer”).

ADVISORY REGARDING 10-DIGIT NUMBERS AND 911 CALLS

You may request one or more ten-digit telephone number(s) in conjunction with your use of Sorenson VRS, provided you have a medically recognized hearing or speech disability. By obtaining one or more telephone number(s) from Sorenson, you are selecting Sorenson as your “default” provider of VRS. This means that all VRS calls to and from your ten-digit telephone number(s) will be routed, by default, though Sorenson VRS.

Sorenson offers functionally equivalent local ten-digit numbers indicating the geographic location, or “area code,” where a user lives or works. If you would like to request one or more ten-digit numbers, call Sorenson at 866-756-6729 or apply online at https://sorenson.com/vrs/ntouch/.

As your default provider, Sorenson must comply with various legal requirements. Pursuant to these requirements, Sorenson will (i) obtain from you the physical location from which you will access Sorenson VRS (also known as your “Registered Location”); (ii) give you an easy way to update your Registered Location information if it changes, without cost or additional equipment; and (iii) route all emergency 911 calls placed by you via Sorenson VRS to the appropriate emergency personnel and transmit the call-back number and other required information to the emergency response center. You also have the following rights: (i) you may obtain a local ten-digit telephone number from, and register with, your provider of choice (notwithstanding any prior relationship you may have had with another provider); (ii) you may change default providers at any time and, in doing so, retain your local ten-digit telephone number by transferring (or “porting”) the number to the new default provider; and (iii) you may make calls through, and receive calls from, any provider (you are not limited to making or receiving calls through your default provider). In addition, a provider cannot condition the ongoing use or possession of equipment on your continuing to use the provider as your default provider.

If you already have a local ten-digit telephone number from a VRS or IP-based Relay provider other than Sorenson, but would like to select Sorenson as your default provider, you may port your telephone number to Sorenson. To do so, please contact Sorenson by calling 866-756-6729 or by sending an email to [email protected]. You also may port the local ten-digit number(s) assigned by Sorenson to a default provider other than Sorenson. Upon request, Sorenson will port the local ten-digit number assigned to the Videophone to the new default provider.

You can place an emergency call by dialing 911 using Sorenson VRS accessed via your computer, another device (such as a smartphone), or videophone. To ensure that your 911 call is routed to the right emergency response center and that the emergency response center knows where to send assistance, your default provider needs to know the physical address (i.e., the Registered Location) from which you are placing the call. If you have chosen Sorenson as your default provider, it is critical that you inform Sorenson of your Registered Location and immediately notify Sorenson of any subsequent changes to your Registered Location. For example, if you are planning to move to a new address where you will use Sorenson as your default provider to place VRS and/or IP-based Relay calls, you must register that new location with Sorenson. Please note that it can take several hours or, in some cases (e.g., if there is an error in your Registered Location), longer to update your Registered Location so that your 911 call will be routed to the emergency authority serving your location. You can inform Sorenson of your initial or new Registered Location by visiting www.sorensonvrs.com/moving or calling 866-756-6729 from your Sorenson videophone or software. Sorenson will confirm receipt of your Registered Location or any updates to it that you submit to Sorenson. If you move to a new address, or otherwise move your Sorenson videophone to a different physical address such as your office without having given Sorenson sufficient advance notice, any 911 call you make using Sorenson VRS may be directed to the wrong emergency authority or may transmit the wrong address.

For more information about ten-digit telephone number(s) for VRS, see the FCC’s Consumer Guide , Ten-Digit Numbering and Emergency Call Handling Procedures for Internet-Based TRS, and an ASL video, Numbering and E911 Requirements for VRS and IP Relay Video In American Sign Language (ASL).

Unless otherwise noted, this Disclaimer assumes that you have chosen Sorenson as your default provider of VRS for any telephone number(s) assigned to you by Sorenson, or that you are using a videophone or other device in conjunction with Sorenson VRS. FCC regulations prohibit Sorenson from completing non-emergency VRS calls for you if you have not registered with a default provider.

CALLS TO EMERGENCY SERVICE PROVIDERS (911/E911)

WAIVER OF LIABILITY FOR 911 CALLS. Sorenson recommends that you maintain an alternative means of making an emergency call to 911 (for example, through a traditional text telephone (“TTY”) or, if a TTY is not available, a standard telephone) in the event that you are unable to use Sorenson’s IP-based Relay Services or your relay service equipment for any reason (for example, for one of the reasons discussed below). If you use Sorenson’s IP-based Relay Services to make a 911 call, Sorenson is not liable for any claim, damage or loss arising from your use of its IP-based Relay Services to facilitate that call. Specifically, Sorenson is not liable in tort, contract, or otherwise for any personal injury, property damage, death, or other harm arising out of or related to use of its IP-based Relay Services to make a 911 call, or the provision of any IP-based, video remote, or in-person interpreting services incidental to or in conjunction with such a call, including but not limited to an act or omission involving (1) the development, design, installation, operation, maintenance, performance, or provision of any equipment, software, or facility that permits you to use Sorenson’s IP-based Relay Services, or any IP-based, video remote, or in-person interpreting services provided in connection with a 911 call or the provision of emergency services; (2) misinterpretation, mistakes, interruptions, delays, transmission errors, network outages, failures, defects, technical difficulties, acts of God, or other occurrences, regardless of the source of the occurrence, that may arise in the course of transmitting or handling 911 calls or providing emergency services; or (3) release to a public safety answering point, designated statewide default answering point, appropriate local emergency authority, emergency medical service provider or emergency dispatch provider, public safety, fire service or law enforcement official, or hospital emergency or trauma care facility of user information related to 911 calls or the provision of emergency services. In addition, Sorenson is not liable for any damages arising from your failure to provide Sorenson an accurate, up-to-date Registered Location. For information about how to update your Registered Location, please refer to the Advisory section above.

Furthermore, consistent with Federal law, Sorenson in its role as an emergency communications service provider, shall have immunity or other protection from liability in a State of a scope and extent that is not less than the scope and extent of immunity or other protection from liability accorded any local exchange company under Federal and applicable State law (whether through statute, judicial decision, tariffs filed by such local exchange company, or otherwise).

NOTICE OF LIMITATIONS FOR 911 CALLS

Even though you have selected Sorenson as your default provider, you may make and receive IP- based Relay Services calls, including 911 calls, using any provider. If, however, you have chosen Sorenson as your default provider but place a 911 call through an IP-based relay provider other than Sorenson, Sorenson will have no control over the way the other provider will handle, process, or route the call. Sorenson thus cannot ensure that the other provider will handle the call in accordance with the FCC’s emergency calling rules, or that the call and your location will be automatically routed to the appropriate emergency personnel.

If you use Sorenson’s IP-based Relay Services to place a 911 call, you should be aware that any such use is subject to significant limitations and risks, including but not limited to the following:

First, Sorenson may not automatically be able to obtain your location information or route your call to the appropriate emergency personnel if (i) you use Sorenson’s IP-based Relay Services to place a 911 call, and you have not provided Sorenson an up-to-date Registered Location; (ii) you have not chosen Sorenson as your default provider; or (iii) your Registered Location is not served by the Wireline E911 network or is not available to Sorenson. Furthermore, in these circumstances, if you are incapacitated or otherwise unable or unwilling to give the Sorenson interpreter your address, Sorenson may not be able to obtain your location information and give it to appropriate emergency personnel, although Sorenson will use its best efforts to do so.

Second, even if you have provided Sorenson an up-to-date Registered Location, it can take several hours or, in some cases (e.g., if there is an error in your Registered Location), longer to update your Registered Location so that your 911 call will be routed to the emergency authority serving your location. If you place a 911 call from an address before activation of 911 service for that address, Sorenson may not automatically be able to obtain your location information and/or route your call to the appropriate emergency personnel.

Third, you may not be able to place a 911 call if your videophone or other equipment and/or software provided to or used by you fails to function.

Fourth, you may not be able to use Sorenson’s IP-based Relay Services to place a 911 call if an act beyond our control (including an act of God) has occurred, including one or more of the following:

  • a broadband network outage or power outage has occurred, or Internet service has been degraded for another reason, including, but not limited to, congestion, interruptions, or technical problems that may affect your ability to access the Internet;
  • your broadband or internet service has been canceled, suspended or terminated for any reason (including for failure to pay); or
  • your use of relay service equipment, including Sorenson videophones and/or software, has been terminated, suspended, restricted, canceled, or disabled.

Fifth, 911/E911 is available only for calls placed from a location within the United States or one of its territories or possessions.

Sixth, if you use a Sorenson videophone and/or Sorenson software to place a 911 call through an IP-based Relay Service provider other than Sorenson, Sorenson will have no control over the way the other provider will handle, process, or route the call. Sorenson thus cannot ensure that the other provider will handle the call in accordance with the FCC’s emergency calling rules or that the call and your location will be automatically routed to the appropriate emergency personnel.

Sorenson will not be liable for any cost or damage arising either directly or indirectly from (i) your failure to accept the limitations expressed in this Disclaimer, including your use or misuse of Sorenson’s IP-based Relay Services, (ii) the porting of the telephone number(s) assigned to you to a default provider other than Sorenson, or

(iii) Sorenson’s termination, suspension, restriction, or cancellation of your use of its IP-based Relay Services, and/or Sorenson’s retrieval or disabling of its videophone and/or software. In no event shall Sorenson, its employees, shareholders, officers, or directors, be liable for punitive, reliance, or special damages, or for indirect or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost profits or revenue or increased costs of operation.

These limitations apply even if the damages are foreseeable or we are told they are possible, and these limitations apply to any negligence claim that does not involve willful misconduct or intentional misconduct no matter how that claim is styled or on what legal grounds (such as contract, tort, statute, misrepresentation) it is based.

Sorenson will be liable for no more than the amount of actual direct damages to the person or property.

Except as expressly provided in this Disclaimer, and then only to the extent provided, Sorenson makes no warranties or representations of any kind regarding its IP-based Relay Services.

SORENSON DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Sorenson

disclaims any and all warranties of quiet enjoyment, performance, and non-infringement. Sorenson also makes no warranty that its IP-based Relay Services will be error free or provide uninterrupted service or functionality.

Sorenson shall not be liable for any consequential or incidental damages. Sorenson does not authorize anyone, including, but not limited to, Sorenson’s employees, independent contractors, agents or representatives, to make a warranty of any kind on Sorenson’s behalf and you should not rely on any such statement.

CALLS INVOLVING MEDICAL, MENTAL HEALTH, OR LEGAL ISSUES

When a Sorenson interpreter is interpreting an IP-based Relay Service call, he or she is doing so pursuant to federal law. Specifically, Sorenson’s provision of telecommunications relay services is governed by section 225 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable rules and orders adopted by the Federal Communications Commission. Accordingly, Sorenson cannot and does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that Sorenson’s IP-based Relay Services will meet any requirements mandated by the laws of any state or locality. For example, the role of an in-person interpreter in a legal setting varies from state to state, and may include additional responsibilities including interceding on behalf of the court, the client, or counsel to help ensure that the parties are accurately comprehending the proceeding; attesting to their ability to accurately interpret the legal proceeding; being placed under oath; and being obligated to evaluate an assignment to determine if they are qualified and to refuse the assignment if they feel they are not appropriately qualified to interpret. Sorenson’s IP- based Relay Service interpreters are not subject to such requirements. Moreover, federal law generally prohibits Sorenson IP-based Relay Service interpreters from revealing the content or existence of a telecommunications relay service call, even when doing so would be inconsistent with state or local laws. As a result, a Sorenson IP- based Relay Service interpreter may not be required pursuant to state or local law to testify in court about a relayed conversation.

Consistent with the rules of the Federal Communications Commission, Sorenson employs only qualified interpreters who are capable of interpreting effectively, accurately, and impartially, both receptively and expressively, using any necessary specialized vocabulary. Sorenson, however, cannot and does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that its relay interpreters meet the various interpreting requirements mandated by the laws of any states, or that its interpreters are trained, authorized, or certified to provide IP-based Relay Services pertaining to any particular area of expertise, including medical, mental health, or legal.

EFFECT OF END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT TERMS, CONDITIONS & ACCEPTABLE USE POLICIES

If a Sorenson videophone and/or software has been assigned to you, your use of that videophone and/or software shall be governed by Sorenson’s applicable END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT TERMS, CONDITIONS & ACCEPTABLE USE POLICIES located at http://www.sorensonvrs.com/eula. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Disclaimer and the Service and Product Agreement(s), the Service and Product Agreement(s) shall govern and control.

User Registration Database (URD)

As part of the FCC’s ongoing commitment to strengthen the Video Relay Service program, the Commission ordered the creation of a centralized database of all VRS users called the Telecommunication Relay Service User Registration Database, also known as the TRS-URD.

Individual Registration

The FCC requires that VRS providers collect certain personal information from their VRS customer. This information includes a customer’s (1) full legal name; (2) full residential address; (3) last four digits of their Social Security Number (SSN) or Tribal Identification Number (TIN); and (4) date of birth (DOB).

Failing to provide the required information, or supplying inaccurate information, will result in being the customer being denied video relay service.

The customer’s information is submitted to the TRS-URD and verified for accuracy. If there are any issues with the verification of the name, address, SSN, or DOB, our Customer Care team works with our customers to manually verify their information. This verification may require that we obtain from the customer validation documentation to confirm the validity of the customer’s identity or address. The documentation can include the following document types (a full list can be found on the last page):

  • an unexpired driver’s license
  • an unexpired States government, military or state issued ID
  • a birth certificates
  • a current income statement from an employer, paycheck stub, or W-2
  • a current Utility bill (telephone, electric, water, gas, or internet)
  • a current Bank/Credit Card/Loan Statement

If the customer does not have a social security number or Tribal Identification number, the FCC provides for an alternative process to verify the customer’s identity and address. Sorenson will assist customers through this process.

For further information about the registration requirements and process, please contact the FCC at ASL Support Line by calling 1-844-432-2275 directly on videophone. Please click here /to learn more about the FCC’s requirements and process.

Enterprise and public videophone registration

The FCC requires the registration of all public and enterprise video phones that are accessible to VRS users outside of the home setting. VRS providers are required to gather and submit the following information for registration into the TRS-URD:

  • Name of the organization, business, or agency (“Entity”) where the videophone is located
  • Physical (Headquarter) address of the Entity
  • Registered Location of the videophone
  • Whether the videophone is a public or enterprise videophone (47 C.F.R. § 64.601)
  • For a videophone indicated as enterprise, the location type where the videophone is located within the Entity.
  • Service initiation date
  • Name of the individual responsible for the videophone(s) (“Entity POC”)
  • Date certification of use was obtained
  • Whether or not the videophone is assigned to a hearing individual who knows sign language

HIPAA

The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”) has issued guidance that specifically addresses whether a Telecommunications Relay Service (“TRS”) Provider, such as CaptionCall is required to enter into a business associate agreement with a health care provider or other HIPAA covered entity. OCR has concluded that “a business associate contract is not required” when a covered health care provider and a patient communicate through TRS. No business associate agreement is required because the TRS [provider]

CaptionCall also is not a “business associate” when it accepts a certification for a new user. First, the certification generally will be transmitted to CaptionCall pursuant to the express, written consent of the patient, which likely eliminates the need for a business associate agreement. Even if that is not the case, CaptionCall is not receiving patient information or providing service “on behalf of” that provider, nor is it providing services—such as accounting, administrative, or legal work—to the covered provider. Instead, CaptionCall is receiving patient information in order to provide relay services to the patient. Thus, no business associate agreement is required solely because CaptionCall receives a certification from a covered provider.

is not acting for or on behalf of the covered entity and is not the covered entity’s business associate.”
