Security of Information
CaptionCall wants your Personal Information to remain secure. We maintain reasonable technical, physical and administrative security measures to protect the security of your personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration.
We periodically review our data collection, storage, and processing policies and implement additional security features as appropriate. In addition, we restrict access to Personal Information in CaptionCall’s possession to CaptionCall employees, contractors, and agents who need to have access to that information to process it on our behalf. Those individuals are subject to CaptionCall’s privacy policy and confidentiality obligations.
Although we do our best to protect your personal data, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Please do your part in protecting your personal data against unauthorized use. Keep your user account password safe and confidential, and be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer or device.
By using our Services or otherwise providing personal information to us, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of our websites, products, and services. If we learn of a security breach involving your personal data, we may attempt to notify you electronically by sending an email to you. To withdraw your consent to receive electronic notice of a data breach, please email us at [email protected].
