This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) applies to the software Utterly Voice (the “Software”), owned and operated by Utterly Voice, LLC (“Utterly Voice,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy relates to the information collection and our practices of connection with the Software.

We strive to educate parents and kids about how to appropriately safeguard their privacy when using our Services. We are committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA"), which requires us to inform parents and legal guardians about our information collection and use practices. COPPA also requires that we obtain parental consent before we allow children under the age of 13 to access and/or use the Software. We urge kids to check with their parents before entering information through the Software, and we recommend that parents discuss with their kids restrictions regarding the online release of Personal Information (as defined below) to anyone they don't know.

When you sign up to become a user or contact us, you will be required to provide us with personal information about yourself (collectively, the “Personal Information”). Such Personal Information may include your name, e-mail address, physical address, and phone number. We do not collect any Personal Information from you when you use the Software unless you provide us with the Personal Information voluntarily.

Collection of such Geolocational Information occurs only when the Software is running on your device. You may decline to allow us to collect such Geolocational Information, in which case we will not be able to provide certain features or functionalities to you.

If you are a child under the age of 13, please do not send any Personal Information to us if we have not obtained prior consent from your parent or guardian.

These other companies will have access to the Information only as necessary to perform their functions and to the extent permitted by law. Nonetheless, you acknowledge that we do not have control over how such third parties may use any Information provided to them.

   3. In an ongoing effort to better understand our users, the Software, and our products and services, we may analyze certain Information in anonymized and aggregate form to operate, maintain, manage, and improve the Software and/or such products and services. This aggregate information does not identify you personally. We may share and/or license this aggregate data to our affiliates, agents, business and promotional partners, and other third parties. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics to describe the Software and these products and services to current and prospective business partners and investors and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.

   6. To the extent permitted by law, we may also disclose the Information:

      1. when required by law, court order, or other government or law enforcement authority or regulatory agency; or

      2. whenever we believe that disclosing such Information is necessary or advisable, for example, to protect the rights, property, or safety of us or others, including you.

3. Accessing and Modifying Information and Communication Preferences. If you have provided us any Personal Information, you may access, remove, review, and/or make changes to the same by contacting us as set forth below. In addition, you may manage your receipt of marketing and non-transactional communications by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link located on the bottom of any of our marketing e-mails. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to process such requests in a timely manner. You should be aware, however, that it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in our subscription databases. You cannot opt out of receiving transactional e-mails related to the Software (e.g., requests for support).

4. How We Protect Your Information. We take commercially reasonable steps to protect the Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases or the databases of the third parties with which we may share such Information, nor can we guarantee that the Information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet. In particular, e-mail sent to us may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail.

5. Important Notices to Non-U.S. Residents. The Software and its associated servers are operated in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that your Information, including your Personal Information, may be transferred to, processed, maintained, and used on computers, servers, and systems located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to use the Software, you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to such transfer, processing, and use in the United States and elsewhere.

6. External Websites. The Software may contain links to third-party websites. We have no control over the privacy practices or the content of these websites. As such, we are not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of those third-party websites. You should check the applicable third-party privacy policy and terms of use when visiting any other websites.

7. Do Not Track. Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a concept promoting the implementation of measures allowing internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across website. Many internet browsers offer a DNT option which, if enabled, will send a signal to websites visited by the browser regarding the user’s DNT preference. You can typically access your browser’s DNT option through your browser’s settings or preferences. We take privacy and security very seriously. However, as a single industry standard has yet to be recognized, we have deemed it prudent to not currently respond to DNT signals.
