ClearCaptions is available in the United States and its territories only. FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS ANYONE BUT REGISTERED USERS WITH HEARING LOSS FROM USING INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) CAPTIONED TELEPHONES WITH THE CAPTIONS TURNED ON. IP Captioned Telephone Service may use a live operator. The operator generates captions of what the other party to the call says. These captions are then sent to your phone. There is a cost for each minute of captions generated, paid from a federally administered fund. No costs are passed along to individuals who qualify for the service.

To learn more about the types of entities who deploy cookies and online tracking technologies on our websites, please review “Disclosure of Personal information.”

Content Providers. Various third parties assist us in providing content and features, including video content, on our Services. Because these services send the content to your browser on our behalf, they typically have access to information about your device and browser, including your IP address, the URL of the pages you visit, and information about your device. They use this information to ensure that the content is delivered to you in the correct format and size.
Functionality Providers. Third parties assist us in providing various online functionality, such as our accessibility tools, online chat tools, and consent management tools.
Web Hosting Providers. Our website hosting and infrastructure providers will receive personal information about your device, including your IP address, device, and browser information, as well as your activity on our websites, in order to provide the hosting services.
Analytics and Advertising Providers. We allow third-party partners and service providers (such as advertising networks, analytics providers and social media platforms and networks), including but not limited to those listed below, to gather data when you interact with our Services for our analytics and marketing purposes, including to help manage and display advertisements, to tailor advertisements to your interests, and target you on other websites (depending on your communication preferences). The third parties and service providers use their technology to provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests which may appear either on our websites or on other websites.
- Google Analytics: We employ Google Analytics for detailed user interaction analysis. This service collects data such as your originating location, visit frequency, viewed pages, and actions taken within our Services. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. The use and sharing of this data by Google are subject to the Google Analytics Terms of Service. For options to opt-out of Google Analytics tracking, you may disable cookies on your browser or follow these specific instructions provided by Google.
- Other Google Services. We utilize various Google services like Google Ads and Google Dynamic Remarketing for purposes such as analytics, advertising, and user experience optimization. These services deploy their own cookies and may collect information like your IP address, user preferences, and online behaviors, which Google uses for its own purposes. For further information and to manage your Google privacy settings, consult Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, or visit your Google Account.
- Personalized Ads. We use various tools, including the Meta Pixel, which collect information about your device and how it interacts with our Services. These third-party services may use cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies to collect or receive information about you or your device from our website and elsewhere on the Internet and use that information to provide measurement services, target and deliver ads. You can opt-out of the collection and use of your information for ad targeting purposes by Meta by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices.

4.2.4. Your Privacy Choices Regarding Tracking Technologies

To the extent these data gathering technologies are deemed to be a “sale” / “sharing” (which includes targeted advertising, as defined under the applicable laws) under applicable U.S. state laws, you can opt-out of these online tracking technologies by submitting a request using our cookie management tool (for cookies and other data collecting technologies), our privacy request form, or using the contact information provided below. Please note, some features of our websites may not be available to you as a result.

Cookies. You can manage how your web browser interacts with cookies. While most browsers are configured to accept cookies by default, you can modify this behavior through your browser's “Privacy” or “Security” settings. However, if you remove or reject our Cookies, it could affect how the website works for you. Please note you must separately opt out in each browser and on each device. You can also tailor your cookie preferences using our cookie consent manager.
Changing Mobile Device Privacy Settings. Your mobile device may collect and share device-level information to facilitate targeted advertising. This is independent of our Services but can affect your overall privacy experience. To better understand and manage these settings, you may refer to the privacy resources provided by your device's operating system. For your convenience, we've included links to informational pages for Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS platforms.
Limiting Interest-Based Advertising. You have the option to limit the interest-based advertising you receive. Various organizations and platforms offer opt-out features that allow you to have more control over your online advertising experience. For example, the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) provides a consumer choice tool that lets you opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies. You can access this tool at the DAA Opt-Out Page. Similarly, the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) offers an opt-out tool for participating members. You can access this tool at the NAI Opt-Out Page. Please note that participation in the DAA and NAI opt-out programs is entirely optional. These are third-party services and opting out through these platforms is not a requirement for using our Services. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of any such opt-out options. Opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will no longer see advertisements; it simply means that the advertisements you do see will not be tailored to your interests.
“Do Not Track” Signals. Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that you can set in your web browsers, which allows you to opt out of tracking by websites and Services. Like many websites, we do not currently respond to ‘Do Not Track’ browser settings or signals. For more information about DNT, please see eff.org/issues/do-not-track.
“Global Privacy Control.” Some browsers and browser extensions support the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating your choice to opt-out from certain types of data processing, including the “sharing” of your personal information. When we detect such a signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect your choices indicated by a GPC setting.

4.3. Data Collected from Other Parties

We obtain information from businesses which assist us in providing our business and Services, such as our data analytics providers, marketing or advertising service providers, fraud prevention service providers, vendors that provide services on our behalf, and publicly available sources.

9. SECURITY

We implement recognized physical, technical, and organizational safeguards tailored to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal data we collect and process. These safeguards are designed to prevent unauthorized or unlawful access, destruction, loss, alteration, or disclosure of personal data. However, despite our best efforts, no security measures can provide absolute protection against all security threats, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access or loss will never occur. We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify the appropriate person and/or any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

10. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Our websites are not directed to children and are intended for use by individuals who have reached the age of majority in their jurisdiction, or the age of digital consent where applicable. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without the appropriate consent required by law. We may offer certain services that can be used by children. In those cases, a parent or legal guardian must provide any required consent before a child may use the service. We collect, use, and disclose a child’s information only as permitted by applicable law, including any limits on targeted advertising, profiling, and data sharing.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have collected personal information from your child without the required consent, contact us at compliance@clearcaptions.com . We will take reasonable steps to verify your request and delete the information unless we are required to retain it for legal, safety, or security reasons.

California residents: we do not sell or share personal information of consumers under 16 years of age without the required opt in. United States residents: when a service is intended for use by children under 13, we obtain verifiable parental consent consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act.

11. UPDATES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal obligations. Any modifications will be effective upon the date specified in the updated Policy. If we make material changes to this Policy that significantly affect your rights or the way we use your personal information, we will notify you through the most appropriate channels. Generally, this will be done by updating the date at the top of this page. However, other notification methods may include sending an email to the address you have provided, posting a notice on our Services, or other methods as required by law. Your continued use of our Services following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

We will indicate the date of the last revision at the top of this Policy. We encourage you to periodically review this Policy to stay informed about how we are protecting your personal information.

For a comprehensive understanding of the types of personal information we collect, the sources from which we collect it, and the purposes for which we use it, please refer to the “Information Collected and How We Use It” section of this Policy.

Notice of Financial Incentive. We may offer our customers loyalty and other incentive programs that provide certain benefits, such as rewards and exclusive offers. We may also provide other promotional campaigns, such as sweepstakes, contests, or limited-time promotions (collectively, the “Programs”). When you sign up for one of these Programs, we typically ask you to provide your name and contact information (such as email address and/or telephone number). Because our Programs involve the collection of personal information, they might be interpreted as a “financial incentive” program under the CCPA. The value of your personal information to us is related to the value of the free or discounted products or services, or other benefits that you obtain or that are provided as part of the applicable Program, less the expense related to offering those products, services, and benefits to Program participants. Participation in a Program is governed by the applicable terms and conditions (including the Official Rules for any sweepstakes or contest or the promotional terms for any short-term promotion), which will also describe the financial incentives associated with the promotion and how to participate. You are not obligated to participate in any contest, sweepstakes, or short-term promotion and may terminate your participation at any time (as described in the Program terms and conditions). You may withdraw from participating in a Program at any time by contacting us using the designated method set forth in the applicable Program terms and conditions.
Shine the Light Disclosure. California Civil Code Section § 1798.83, also known as the “Shine the Light” law, permits California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their personal information (if any) for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year, as well as the type of personal information disclosed. To make such a request, please send an email with the subject “Shine the Light Request” to the email address in our Contact Information.

12.2. California-specific Privacy Rights

California law grants specific rights to California consumers regarding their personal information. Note that these may be duplicative of the rights described above in “Your Privacy Rights”. They are as follows:

Right to Know. You can request, up to two times each year, that we disclose the categories and/or specific pieces of personal information that we collect, use, disclose, and may sell, the sources from which we collected it, the purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing it, as applicable, and the categories of third parties to whom we have disclosed it.
Right to Correction of Personal Information. You have the right to have inaccurate personal information corrected.
Right to Deletion of Personal Information. You can ask us to delete the personal information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions such as to complete a transaction for you, to exercise our rights, or to comply with a legal obligation.
Right to Opt out of Sales of Personal Information. You have the right opt out of the sale of your personal information to third parties. In the preceding twelve (12) months, ClearCaptions has not “sold” personal information as this term is defined in the CCPA. Therefore, we do not offer such a right.
Right to Opt Out of Sharing of Personal Information. The CCPA defines “sharing” as disclosing or making a consumer’s personal information available to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising. In the preceding twelve (12) months, ClearCaptions has shared certain categories of personal information (identified in the above table) with third-party advertisers to tailor ads to consumers’ interests. You have the right to opt out of your personal information being shared for targeted advertising, and you may exercise this right by clicking “Cookie Settings” in the website footer and opting out of Targeted Advertising Cookies.
Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. You have the right to direct us to limit our use of your sensitive personal information to that use which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer. ClearCaptions does not use sensitive personal information beyond the CCPA’s permissible purposes.
Right against Discrimination. You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from retaliation as prohibited by the CCPA.
Right to Appeal. If we deny your request to exercise a right, you have the right to appeal our decision.

To exercise your California privacy rights, please visit this web form or use the contact methods described below. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and your rights. We will respond to your request within a reasonable period (if properly submitted) and in accordance with applicable law. If we need more time to verify your identity, process and respond to your request, we will notify you of that fact along with the reason for the delay. If we decline to act regarding your request, we will inform you of our decision and the reason for it, and, if applicable, with instructions on how you may appeal our decision.

You have the option to designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf for exercising your data rights. An authorized agent can be either a person or a business entity that you have formally authorized to act on your behalf.

To use an authorized agent:

Signed Authorization: You must provide the authorized agent with a signed written authorization to act on your behalf. This document should clearly indicate that you grant them the authority to submit requests for you.
Agent Submission: The authorized agent can then submit a request via the methods outlined above. The agent should attach a copy of the written authorization you provided.
Identity Verification: We may contact you directly to confirm that you have authorized the agent to act on your behalf. This is a security measure designed to protect your personal information.

Please note that we reserve the right to deny requests from agents who do not provide proof of authorization or if we cannot verify the agent’s identity.
