The contact information we collect for use of our service


We may collect information from you that can be used to personally identify and/or contact you and personally identify the detainee. Contact information collected through the Service may include your name, mobile number, physical address and email address.

In addition to contact information, we may collect other personal information from you that may be associated with your contact information. Other personal information collected through the Service may include your gender, information, a copy of your identity card, and/or any other identification document and relationship to the detainee.

When you use our services to communicate with an inmate, the prison institution has the right to record and store the communication for security purposes, which may include your image and/or voice. By using the services, you are expressly providing consent for the Department of Prisons to collect your voice and image and use them as described in this Privacy Policy, in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.

We may use information collected from or about you for any of the following purposes:

  • To manage and service your registration and visit requests.
  • To contact you when necessary about your visit requests and registration or your use of our services.
  • To send you by mail, phone, text or email, information about your visit details, registration details as well as about our services in general.

  • To help us better understand visitors' uses of our Service.
  • To respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations.
  • To protect the security or integrity of our Service.

We have implemented commercially reasonable measures designed to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. However, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted via our sites or services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the sites or services.

We seek to use industry-standard physical, technical and administrative security measures designed to protect your personally identifiable information. However, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the video calls you take using our service are being compromised), please immediately notify us in accordance with the "Contact Us" section above.

Please note that emails you send to us through our Service are not encrypted, and we strongly advise you not to communicate any confidential information in your emails to us.

To the extent permitted by law, we will disclose your information to government authorities if: (a) required to do so by law, or in response to a subpoena or court order; (b) we believe in our sole discretion that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect against fraud, to protect our property or other rights or those of other users of the service, third parties or the public at large; or (c) we believe that you have abused the Service by using it to attack other systems or to gain unauthorized access to any other system, to engage in spamming or otherwise to violate applicable laws or in violation of our Terms of Use. You should be aware that, following disclosure to any third party, your information may be accessible by others to the extent permitted or required by applicable law.

You have the right to request to delete any of the personal information that we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable request, we will delete your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. However, this will terminate you from using our services further.

If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes to the Privacy Policy on this service website, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on our Services and Sites. Your use of the Services and Sites following these changes means that you accept the revised Privacy Policy.
