The personal data that we may process about you are your name, function, company name, company address, telephone number, your contact details and your profile picture (if uploaded by you).
We may, if you approve access to your device address book, use and display the names and the phone numbers of your local contacts stored in your device address book to allow you to search through the contacts list, to display caller id for incoming or outgoing calls, to store your local contacts in the application. Your personal contacts data that we process are stored ephemerally unless you explicitly choose to create a contact from within the application. A contact created by you, inside the application, will be stored on our servers but not shared with third parties, for cross-platform purposes, until you delete it.
We usually collect your personal data directly from you, e.g. via e-mail, but sometimes we may collect your personal data from other employees at your company. Telavox uses your personal data to facilitate and to render a more effective communication with business customers, suppliers and other actual or possible partners. In connection with support contacts with you, we may also record our telephone call with you. You are not obliged to provide your personal data to Telavox. If you do not provide your personal data, Telavox may need to cease the processing of your personal data, or alternatively request another contact person at your company. If you are an employee of a Telavox customer, we may also process your data for the purposes of providing the agreed telecommunication service. However, in this connection Telavox is not the data controller, hence this privacy policy does not describe such processing further. For more information regarding such processing of your data, please ask your employer.

We process your personal data to be able to communicate with you as a contact at a company that we cooperate with or potentially will cooperate with and/or has an agreement with Telavox, as business customer and/or supplier. Telephone calls in connection with support matters may be recorded for the purpose of follow up on existing commercial agreements. If you have signed up for Telavox’s newsletter, we will also process your personal data by adding you as a recipient.

What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU regulation designed to strengthen the protection of EU residents’ personal data and unify regulation across the member countries. Much is similar from precursor laws, such as PuL (Personuppgiftslagen) in Sweden, but GDPR takes a firmer grip on the rights of the individuals of which data is being processed and provide greater transparency regarding regulation compliance.
Why does Telavox process your personal data?
We process personal data on behalf of our customers in order to deliver, support and fulfil our responsibilities as your communications provider, as defined by our service agreement, and nothing else.
What is the relation between you as a customer and Telavox?
Telavox is your Data Processor which means that we process your personal data on our customers’ behalf only for the purposes of providing Telavox’s services. The customers are therefore considered the Data Controller, and GDPR dictates that each Data Controller must have a signed Data Processing Agreement (DPA) in place with its Data Processors. To make things a bit easier for our customers, we have developed a DPA that you can use directly with us.
