Mobile Application Use
Features and functionality. In order for some features to function properly, our Products may access and use Personal Data you provided to third parties, including personal data belonging to other people. Such data will not reach us and will not be processed by us. In particular, our Product for desktop operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux) needs the data contained in your Google Contacts lists to be able to show it to you in its respective contact list and call history sections. Because of this, during the process of adding the Google Contacts Service to the Product, you will be prompted to give Telviva permission to see, download, edit and permanently delete Google Contact lists. The Product will perform all these actions only on your device and only according to your respective actions. The permission will allow you to see, call and manage your contacts when you use the Product. None of the Google Contacts data will be accessed by us or sent to us in any form, and we or our representatives will access no such data in any way. If the Product does not have permission to use the Google Contacts data, it will be unable to display your contact information and allow you to make calls to people in your Google Contacts list.
Content. We collect the content of your files and communications when necessary to provide you with the services you use. For example, suppose you receive a message using a Teviva-hosted messaging service. In that case, we need to collect the content of that message in order to deliver it to your softphone client, display it to you, enable you to reply to it and store it for you until you choose to delete it. Examples of this data include the content of instant messages, documents, photos, music or videos you file transfer using Teviva services. When you grant the Contacts permission in our apps, we load your local address book into the app in order to provide direct access to your contacts’ names, phone numbers, and email addresses.
We also collect the content of messages you send us, such as feedback and product reviews you write or questions or information you provide for customer support. Chat sessions with our representatives may be monitored and recorded when you contact us, such as for customer support.
Push notification. To let you know of incoming calls, chats and other messages, our apps use the notification service on your device. For many devices, these services are provided by another company. To tell you who is calling, for example, or to give you the first few words of the new chat, our service has to tell the company providing the notification service so that they can provide the notification to you. The company providing the notification service on your device will use this information per their terms and privacy policy. Telviva is not responsible for the data collected by the notification service company. If you don’t want to use the notification services with our applications, turn it off in the settings found in the application or your device.
