This section describes all the ways in which we use your information. Back to top Registration In order to use the TelTel, you must first complete the registration form. During registration you are required to provide a valid email address and to choose a password and display name. We use your email address and password to validate your identity each time you login. Your display name identifies you to other TelTel users. Other TelTel users do not see your email address. When you register, we send you a single welcome email. Clicking on the link in the welcome email allows us to verify that the email address you provided is active and correct. Back to top Add A Friend Feature If you choose to invite another person to register with TelTel and join your Friend List, you have the option of sending the invitation by email. The invitee's name (optional) and email address, and your name (optional) are stored temporarily and are used only to generate the email invitation. After the invitation is sent, we delete this information. In particular, we do not store your name and if the invitee chooses not to register with TelTel, we store no information about him or her. If the invitee chooses to register with TelTel using a different email address, we store only the information he or she explicitly provides during registration. Back to top Communications Contents TelTel.com does NOT monitor or store the contents of any call or conference in which you participate. The contents of any Call Me request that you send or receive are stored on our servers until they expire, until the sender and the receiver complete a call, or until the sender removes them, AT WHICH TIME WE DELETE ALL RECORD OF THE CALL ME REQUEST. A Call Me request comprises a sender, a receiver, an importance (High, Medium, or Low), a short text message (optional), and an expiration time. Back to top Call Detail Records All telephony applications retain Call Detail Records (CDRs) for administrative and, possibly, billing purposes. A CDR is a record of the caller, the callee, the date and timestamp, the elapsed time, and the call failure class (in the case of an unsuccessful call). As stated in the previous section, a CDR does not include any record of the call contents. CDRs are automatically generated by our system and are stored centrally on TelTel.com servers in the United States and/or China. TelTel.com uses the information contained in CDRs in an aggregated statistical form for the purposes of improving service quality and of detecting fraud or misuse. We reserve the right to share aggregate usage data with third parties, but we do NOT sell, rent, loan, trade, lease, or otherwise share personally identifiable information about your usage patterns without your explicit consent.

Back to top Call Forwarding and Find-Me services If users wish to use the TelTel Call-Forwarding and Find-Me services, users need to provide telephone numbers in order for the service to be provided.
