The use of information collected through our service shall be limited to the purpose of providing the service for which our client (“Client”) has engaged Ryanventura.

  1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect a variety of personal data about users of our services and visitors to our website in order to ensure an enjoyable user experience and seamless communications. When we use the term personal data, we mean information that is directly associated with, or could be used to identify, a specific person. Such information includes a name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, or information about activities directly linked to that person which would permit the physical or online contacting of that person. Where you have registered with us in the “Preferences” section of our Website, your Internet protocol (“IP”) address will also be collected and will be linked to your other personal data.

Our definition of personal data does not include “aggregate information”— data we collect about a group or category of services or users or customers and from which individual user or customer identities have been removed. Aggregate information—for example, a report that indicates that a certain number of our customers reside in a particular country, or a report on how many of our customers visited particular pages of our website—aids us in understanding trends and customer needs. For example, aggregate information allows us to consider new services or tailor existing services to customer preferences, and to provide aggregate statistics (e.g., a Small Business VoIP Usage Index) to customers, potential customers, and business partners. We collect the following types of personal data through use of our website and telephone calls to Ryanventura customer service:

  • Information You Give Us   We collect personal data you give us—such as your name, billing address, telephone number, e-mail address, and/or credit card number—when you purchase or use a service, participate in a promotion or survey, or register with us in the “Preferences” section on our website. The submission of certain types of information may be required in order for us to provide Ryanventura services to you.
  • Information We Collect Automatically:   We automatically collect certain types of personal data whenever you interact with us. For example, when you use Ryanventura services via your mobile phone carrier or the Ryanventura mobile application, Ryanventura will collect your mobile phone number and other information about the type of mobile device you use (e.g., operating system, device model) for the purpose of providing the services to you. When you visit Ryanventura’s website, our systems automatically provide us with your IP address, ISP, search terms, domain server or clickstream data, and store it in log files to tell us what type of web browser you use, which may be linked to personal data if you have registered with us in the “Preferences” section of our website. When you visit Ryanventura’s website by clicking an advertisement on a third-party website, Ryanventura automatically collects information about the website you were visiting when you clicked on Ryanventura’s advertisement, including the IP address of the website and the date and time that you clicked on Ryanventura’s advertisement.
  • Information We Obtain from Other Sources:    We may obtain information about you from outside sources and add it to, or combine it with, your personal data, including information such as:
    • Credit information, which allows us to complete transactions for the purchase of Ryanventura services, and
    • Commercially available demographic and marketing information from third parties, which aids us in serving you and informing you of services that may be of interest to you.
  • Personal Information Transmitted by Our Clients Through Our Services:    We have no direct relationship with the individuals, if any, whose personal data our Clients transmit, receive, and/or store through the services that we offer or the individuals, if any, whom our Clients contact through the services that we offer.
    • If you are an individual who is being contacted by one of our Clients through the services that we offer and would no longer like to be contacted by such Client through such services, please contact the Client directly.
    • We may transfer personal data, if any, contained within the communications sent, received, and/or stored by our Clients through the services that we offer to companies that help us provide our service.
    • Any individual whose personal data is included in the communications sent, received, and/or stored by one of our Clients through the services that we offer who seeks access to, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete any such inaccurate data should direct his or her request to the customer directly. The Client is the “data controller” of such data and is responsible for providing such access to such data or perform any correction, amendment, or deletion thereof at the request of the individual to whom the data relates.

Ryanventura retains the communications that we transmit or store on behalf of our customers for as long as needed to provide services to the applicable customer and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Ryanventura does not knowingly collect—either actively or passively, or store any information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 and believe he or she has disclosed personally identifiable information to us, please contact us here. A parent of guardian of a child under age 13 may review and request deletion of such child’s personally identifiable information as well as prohibit the use thereof.

To see how we use, disclose, and protect the personal data that we collect, please review the rest of this Policy.

  1. OUR USE OF PERSONAL DATA

Our Internal Use: In general, we use personal data to serve our existing and prospective customers and to enhance and extend our customer relationships. By understanding how you use our services and our website, we are able to customize and personalize our interactions with you. More specifically:

  • We use personal data for billing purposes, to provide services or complete transactions you have requested, to anticipate and resolve problems with your services, and to create and inform you of products or services from Ryanventura or others that better meet your needs.
  • Subject to your agreement, Ryanventura uses e-mail, telemarketing, and direct mail to inform you about Ryanventura products or services we think will interest you. If you do not wish to receive these types of communications you can choose at any time not to continue receiving them by contacting us here.
  • We use mobile device information to conduct anonymous mobile analytics so we have a better idea on how you interact with your mobile device.
  • To allow you to capture and upload your profile picture (should you choose to do so), the application needs access to the camera. Ryanventura does not use this information for any purposes except for the designed use as mentioned here.
  • To allow you to select a picture from your photo gallery and upload it to use the fax service and/or update your profile picture. Ryanventura does not use this information for any purposes except for the designed use as mentioned here.
  • We may send you push notifications from time to time for you to get call alerts (for example to notify you that you have received a voicemail message or missed call).

While you may choose not to receive marketing information from us, you will continue to receive bills, customer service-related notifications, and other similar information from us electronically or otherwise. You will also continue to receive communications directly related to each service you purchase or subscribe to.

Our Customer Surveys: Periodically, you may be able to participate in our surveys to help us improve our services. Any personal data that we may collect from you in a survey will ONLY be used internally by Ryanventura. And unless otherwise explained in the instructions for a particular customer survey, any personal data you provide to us for purposes of that survey will be used in accordance with this Policy.

Third-Party Use: To understand when and how Ryanventura may disclose personal data to unaffiliated third parties, please read the Disclosure of Your Personally Identifiable Information section below.

  1. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA

Because information about our existing and prospective Clients is one of our most important business assets, we seek to protect it and keep it confidential. We do not share personal data with unaffiliated third parties, nor do we sell it to third parties, unless permitted to do so in accordance with this Policy.

Your Consent: Ryanventura may disclose your personal data if you consent to the disclosure in advance. Depending on the service, we may obtain your consent in a number of ways, including:

  • In writing;
  • Verbally;
  • Online, by clicking on a link or button; or
  • Through the use of a dialing string or buttons on a telephone handset.

We may release personal data without your consent when release is appropriate to do one of the following:

  • Comply with the law or a lawful government request (e.g., lawful subpoena or court order);
  • Enforce or apply our agreements to sell or provide services to you or enforce compliance with website policies;
  • Bill and collect for services; or
  • Protect or defend our legal rights and property, the interests of customers and website users, and the rights of third parties (e.g., to address allegations about fraudulent or unlawful activity on a Ryanventura account);
  • Protect health and safety of users or general public in an emergency

Disclosure to Affiliates: We may share your personal data between our third party service providers where it is necessary to support the services provided to you.

In order to verify payment methods and prevent fraud, Ryanventura verifies personal data, including payment information, with payment providers and fraud prevention services. If at any time you apply for a credit line with Ryanventura, Ryanventura may perform a credit inquiry with credit reporting agencies, and such inquiry may be noted on your credit record. Where permitted under local law, we may use automated decision-making systems to verify payment methods, assess creditworthiness, or prevent fraud, and we may contact you requesting additional information when needed.

For European Economic Area (“EEA”) Clients, this may mean that the personal data you provide us may be transferred to countries outside the EEA. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the EEA. Nonetheless, if we transfer information outside the EEA in this way, we will take steps to ensure your privacy rights continue to be respected.

For British Telecom (“BT”) Ryanventura customers, which are provided in conjunction with BT, we share your personal data, including name, contact details, and information about your Ryanventura services and your use of the services, with BT.

Disclosure to Unaffiliated Third Parties: We may share personal data with unaffiliated third parties only as necessary to complete a transaction or perform a service that you have requested, or to support the technical operation and maintenance of our services and of our website. We may also share personal data with our agents, outside vendors or service providers to perform functions on our behalf. For example, we use third party service providers to perform functions such as analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing customer service and processing orders. Ryanventura requires such unaffiliated third party to process such personal data solely on our behalf and to party to follow our privacy practices. Ryanventura does not sell its customer lists or any personal data associated with its customers to third parties.

Business Transfers: Information about our users and customers, including personal data, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, or sale of company assets. It may also be disclosed in the unlikely event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which personal data would be transferred as one of the business assets of Ryanventura.

Emergency Calls: If you dial for emergency services (e.g., 112/999 in the U.K.), we may provide personally identifiable location information to a public safety answering point; emergency medical service provider or dispatch provider; public safety, fire service, or law enforcement official; hospital emergency or other medical care facility; or to a service provider that provides such information to such emergency responders.

  1. CUSTOMER PROPRIETARY NETWORK INFORMATION

In the normal course of providing telecommunications and interconnected voice-over-Internet-protocol (“interconnected VoIP”) services to users and customers, we collect and maintain certain customer proprietary network information (“CPNI”). Your CPNI includes the types of telecommunications and interconnected VoIP services you currently purchase or subscribe to, how you use those services (for example, your calling records), and billing information related to those services. Your Ryanventura telephone number, name, and address do not constitute CPNI.

Ryanventura would like to share your CPNI within our company and with our affiliates and authorized agents in order to offer you additional products and services that may fit your needs. Ryanventura does not sell, trade, or otherwise share your CPNI with anyone outside of Ryanventura or with anyone who is not authorized to represent us to offer our services or to perform functions on our behalf, except as the law may require or you may authorize.

Protecting your CPNI is important to us. We may also use or disclose your CPNI for legal or regulatory reasons such as to respond to a court order, to investigate fraud, to protect our rights or property, to protect against the unlawful use of our services, or to protect other users. You have a right and we have a duty under law to protect the confidentiality of your CPNI.

In order to opt-out from our use of your CPNI for our own marketing purposes, please contact us. Restricting our use of your CPNI will not affect our provision of any service or product to which you currently subscribe, nor will you necessarily eliminate all types of Ryanventura marketing.

  1. SECURITY AND DATA INTEGRITY

We maintain a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your personal data. Specifically, we use commercially accepted procedures and reasonable security systems to protect against unauthorized access to our systems. We restrict access to your personal data to those employees and contractors—all of whom are covered by this Policy—who need to know that information to provide services to you or otherwise assist you. We protect the security of your personal data during transmission via the Ryanventura website by using Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) software, which encrypts information you input, so that no one else can read it as it is transmitted over the Internet. And we use an SSL connection to enable you to view, enter, and change the information in the “Preferences” section securely on our website.

You can take additional steps on your own to safeguard your personal data. For example, you should be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer. And you should always log out of any website, including the Ryanventura website, after viewing personal account information.

Please be advised that Ryanventura has no control over or responsibility for the security or privacy policies or practices of other sites on the Internet you might visit, interact with, or from which you might buy products or services, even if you visit them using links from the Ryanventura website.

  1. OUR USE OF “COOKIES”

Ryanventura uses tracking technologies such as “cookies”, tags, and scripts to enhance your use of our website. “Cookies” are small text files placed on your computer’s hard drive by a website when you visit that website. These files identify your computer and record your preferences and other data about your visit to a website so that when you return to that site, the site operator knows who you are and can personalize your visit. For example, cookies enable a website shopping cart to function so that you only have to check out once.

Consequently, cookies are often tied to the use of personally identifiable information while using our website. If you choose not to accept the use of cookies or choose to block or delete cookies, your use of our website may be impaired. Cookies allow us to do the following:

  • Complete transactions you have requested;
  • Collect information to determine which services and sections of our website are most and least popular;
  • Personalize our website and make recommendations to you based on services you have used in the past; and
  • Improve the ease of use of our website, sometimes in conjunction with web beacons.

We do not use cookies to store credit card information. Ryanventura does, however, use cookies to store login information (including passwords) for customers who choose the option of storing such information on their computers.

We also use a session-based cookie to maintain continuity of navigation for you when viewing our website during a particular on-line session. After closing the browser, the session cookie simply terminates; it is not stored on your computer’s hard drive thereafter.

In conjunction with web beacons, Ryanventura may also use cookies, but these cookies are not linked to your personal data.

We also use Local Storage Objects (LSOs) such as HTML5 to store content information and preferences. Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features on our site or to display advertising based upon your Web browsing activity use LSOs such as HTML 5 and Flash to collect and store information. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5 LSOs.

7.OUR USE OF WEB BEACONS

Ryanventura uses web beacons on its website. A web beacon (sometimes called a “web bug” or “clear GIF”) is a tiny graphic image (usually a 1-by-1 pixel) displayed in a webpage, web-based document, or e-mail message, but it is usually invisible, as it is usually the same colour as the background of the webpage, document, or e-mail message. When the user’s web browser reads the HTML code for the web beacon to retrieve the image, it can pass along the IP address of the user’s computer, the time the web beacon was viewed and for how long, and the type of browser used. Web beacons can also be linked to a user’s cookies and any personal data that may be stored in them.

Ryanventura uses web beacons to gather aggregate information, as described above in Information We Collect. Ryanventura does not use web beacons that link to cookies or to personally identifiable information on unaffiliated third-party websites. And it does not permit unaffiliated third parties to place such web beacons in advertisements on Ryanventura’s website.

For its web beacons, Ryanventura uses Adobe Analytics to analyze use of Ryanventura’s website. For further information on how Adobe Analystics collects and uses information, you should refer to the Adobe’s Privacy Statement at http://www.adobe.com/privacy/analytics.html.

  1. OUR USE OF BANNER ADS

We may use third-party advertising companies to place advertisements about Ryanventura products and services on other websites. These advertising companies may use cookies, web beacons, or other technologies to measure the effectiveness of our ads. The advertising companies may use anonymous information about your visits to our and other websites in order to measure advertising effectiveness and offer selective ad content. But they use an anonymous identifier, such as a number, to identify you. They do not link to or collect any personal data. The use of such cookies, web beacons, and other technologies is subject to the advertising companies’ privacy policies, not the privacy policy of Ryanventura. Ryanventura does not control and is not responsible for how third party sites handle personal information of users. If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, follow the instructions to block cookies using your web browser settings, as described above. Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising; you will continue to receive generic ads.
