We receive and store the information provided by our users at the
time of their registration or while using our service. We require
certain pieces of information, such as a valid email address and

such as credit card numbers or bank information. We don't even
ask for your address.

your validated phone number will be used as the caller ID for outgoing calls
scheduled by you using our system. We only place calls using your caller ID
