In order to access and use the features of the Service, you acknowledge and agree that you will have to provide Univoxer with your mobile phone number. You expressly acknowledge and agree that in order to provide the Service, Univoxer may periodically access your contact list and/or address book on your mobile device to find and keep track of mobile phone numbers of other users of the Service and your location. When providing your mobile phone number, you must provide accurate and complete information. You hereby give your express consent to Univoxer to access your contact list and/or address book for mobile phone numbers in order to provide and use the Service. We do not collect names, addresses or email addresses, just location and language supports that you use. You are solely responsible for the status messages and voice calls requests that you submit and that are displayed for your mobile phone number on the Univoxer Service. You must notify Univoxer immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your mobile phone. Although Univoxer will not be liable for your losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account, you may be liable for the losses of Univoxer or others due to such unauthorized use.
You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers,” etc. or “load testers” such as wget, apache bench, mswebstress, httpload, blitz, Xcode Automator, Android Monkey, etc., that accesses the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to the Univoxer servers in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a Univoxer application, and you are forbidden from ripping the content unless specifically allowed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Univoxer grants the operators of public search engines permission to use spiders to copy materials from the website for the sole purpose of creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of such materials. Univoxer reserves the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases. While we don’t disallow the use of sniffers such as Ethereal, tcpdump or HTTPWatch in general, we do disallow any efforts to reverse-engineer our system, our protocols, or explore outside the boundaries of the normal requests made by Univoxer clients. We have to disallow using request modification tools such as fiddler or whisker, or the like or any other such tools activities that are meant to explore or harm, penetrate or test the site. You must secure our permission before you measure, test, health check or otherwise monitor any network equipment, servers or assets hosted on our domain. You agree not to collect or harvest any personally identifiable information, including phone number, from the Service, nor to use the communication systems provided by the Service for any commercial solicitation or spam purposes. You agree not to spam, or solicit for commercial purposes, any users of the Service.
4. Intellectual Property Rights
The design of the Univoxer Service along with Univoxer created text, make calls, find a remote interpreteur, scripts, graphics, interactive features and the like, except Status Submissions (as defined below), and the trademarks, service marks and logos contained therein (“Marks”), are owned by or licensed to Univoxer, subject to copyright and other intellectual property rights under Brazil and foreign laws and international conventions. The Service is provided to you AS IS for your information and personal use only. Univoxer reserves all rights not expressly granted in and to the Service. You agree to not engage in the use, copying, or distribution of any of the Service other than expressly permitted herein, including any use, copying, or distribution of Status Submissions of third parties obtained through the Service for any commercial purposes.
5. User Status Submissions
The Univoxer Service allows Univoxer users to submit a request to support from a interpreteur in languages offer, profile photos and other communications submitted by you, as well as the automatic submission of your “last seen” status (collectively, the “Status Submissions”). These Status Submissions may be hosted, shared, and/or published as part of the Univoxer Service and may not be visible to other users of the Service who have your mobile phone number in their mobile phone and which you have not expressly blocked. For clarity, direct call, location data and photos or files that you send directly to other Univoxer users will only be viewable by those Univoxer user(s) or group(s) you directly send such information. A good rule of thumb is if you don’t want the whole world to know something or see something, don’t submit it as a Status Submission to the Service. The submission of your ‘last seen’ status is done on an automatic basis. As clarified in the following section, you retain your ownership rights in your Status Submissions. You understand that whether or not such Status Submissions are published, Univoxer does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to any conversations.
You shall be solely responsible for your own Status Subjects in a Call and the consequences of posting or publishing them. Because Univoxer is only acting as a conection service, user submitted statuses do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of Univoxer, and Univoxer makes no guarantees as to the validity, accuracy or legal status of any status. In connection with Status Submissions, you affirm, represent, and/or warrant that: (i) you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize Univoxer to use all patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to any and all Status Submissions to enable inclusion and use of the Status Submissions in the manner contemplated by the Service and these Terms of Service; and (ii) you have the written consent, release, and/or permission of each and every identifiable individual person in the Status Submission to use the name or likeness of each and every such identifiable individual person to enable inclusion and use of the Status Talk in the manner contemplated by the Service and these Terms of Service. To be clear: you retain all of your ownership rights in your Status Submissions, but you have to have the rights in the first place. However, by submitting the Status Submissions to Univoxer, you hereby grant Univoxer a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the Status Submissions in connection with the Univoxer Service and Univoxer’s (and its successor’s) business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Univoxer Service (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels. You also hereby grant each subscriber to your status on the Univoxer Service a non-exclusive license to access your Status Submissions through the Service. The foregoing license granted by you terminates once you remove or delete a Status Submission from the Univoxer Service.
In connection with Status Submissions, you further agree that you will not: (i) submit material that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner to post the material and to grant Univoxer all of the license rights granted herein; (ii) publish falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage Univoxer or any third party; (iii) submit material that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, violate any law, or is otherwise inappropriate; (iv) post advertisements or solicitations of business; (v) impersonate another person; (vi) send or store material containing software viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other harmful computer code, files, scripts, agents or programs; (vii) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or the data contained therein; or (viii) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its related systems or networks.
Adult content must be identified as such. Univoxer does not endorse any Status Submission or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and Univoxer expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with Status Submissions. Univoxer does not permit copyright infringing activities and infringement of intellectual property rights via its Service, and Univoxer will remove all content and Status Submissions if properly notified that such content or Status Submission infringes on another’s intellectual property rights. To file a copyright infringement notification, please send a written communication that includes substantially the following (see Section 512(c)(3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act): (i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works; (iii) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material, including the mobile phone number of the Univoxer user allegedly infringing the copyrighted work; (iv) Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted; (v) A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Such takedown notices may be emailed to support at Univoxer.com. Univoxer reserves the right to remove content and Status Submissions without prior notice. Univoxer may also terminate a user’s access to the Service, if they are determined to be a repeat infringer, or for any or no reason, including being annoying. A repeat infringer is a User who has been notified of infringing activity more than once and/or has had a Status Submission removed from the Service more than twice. An annoying person is anyone who is (capriciously or not) determined to be annoying by authorized Univoxer employees, agents, subagents, superagents or superheros. Univoxer also reserves the right to decide whether content or a Status Submission is appropriate and complies with these Terms of Service for violations other than copyright infringement and violations of intellectual property law, such as, but not limited to excessive length or limited interest. Univoxer may remove such Status Submissions and/or terminate a User’s access for uploading such material in violation of these Terms of Service at any time, without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
You understand that when using the Univoxer Service you will be exposed to Status Submissions from a variety of sources, and that Univoxer is not responsible for the accuracy, usefulness, safety, or intellectual property rights of or relating to such Status Submissions, and that such Status Submissions are not the responsibility of Univoxer. You further understand and acknowledge that you may be exposed to Status Submissions that are inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and you agree to waive, and hereby do waive, any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against Univoxer with respect thereto, and agree to indemnify and hold Univoxer, its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, and/or licensors, harmless to the fullest extent allowed by law regarding all matters related to your use of the Univoxer Service.
Univoxer permits you to link to materials on the Service for personal purposes only. Univoxer reserves the right to discontinue any aspect of the Univoxer Service at any time.

If you do not agree to our practices, please do not use the Univoxer Site, Univoxer Software,or Univoxer Service.
This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the Univoxer Terms of Service. Your use of the Univoxer Site, Univoxer Software and the Univoxer Service and any personal information you provide on the Univoxer Site or Univoxer Service remains subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.
Please note that any Status Submissions or other content posted at the direction or discretion of users of the Univoxer Service becomes published content and is not considered personally identifiable information subject to this Privacy Policy.
What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?
This Privacy Policy is part of Univoxer’s Terms of Service and covers the treatment of user information, including personally identifying information, obtained by Univoxer, including information obtained when you access the Univoxer’s Site, use the Univoxer Service or any other software provided by Univoxer.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Univoxer does not own or control, or to individuals whom Univoxer does not employ or manage, including any of the third parties to which Univoxer may disclose user information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
The Information Univoxer Collects
Univoxer may obtain the following types of information from or concerning you or your mobile phone device, which may include information that can be used to identify you as specified below (“Personally Identifying Information”):
User Provided Information: You provide certain Personally Identifiable Information, such as your mobile phone number, push notification name (if applicable), billing information (if applicable) and mobile device information to Univoxer when choosing to participate in various uses of the Univoxer Service, such as registering as a user, updating your status or requesting status for your contacts. In order to provide the Univoxer Service, Univoxer will periodically access your address book or contact list on your mobile phone to locate the mobile phone numbers of other Univoxer users (“in-network” numbers), or otherwise categorize other mobile phone numbers as “out-network” numbers, which are stored as one-way irreversibly hashed values.
Cookies Information: When you visit the Univoxer Site, we may send one or more cookies – a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters – to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. Univoxer uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser help file directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, the Univoxer Site may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.
Log File Information: When you use the Univoxer Site, our servers automatically record certain information that your web browser sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser language, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time of your request, one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser, your phone number, phone number you are requesting the status of and various status information. When you use the Univoxer Service, our servers log certain general information that our application sends whenever a message is sent or received, or if you update or request any status information, including time and date stamps and the mobile phone numbers the messages were sent from and to.
The Information Univoxer Does Not Collect
Univoxer does not collect names, emails, addresses or other contact information from its users’ mobile address book or contact lists other than mobile phone numbers—the Univoxer mobile application will associate whatever name the Univoxer user has assigned to the mobile telephone number in his/her mobile address book or contact list — and this occurs dynamically on the mobile device itself and not on Univoxer’s servers and is not transmitted to Univoxer. This means that if you have your friend’s mobile phone number associated with the name “Shakespeare” in your mobile address book, that’s the name that will appear for that mobile phone number in your Univoxer contact list. We do not collect location data, but users may voluntarily share their location with other users via the Univoxer Service.
The contents of messages that have been delivered by the Univoxer Service are not copied, kept or archived by Univoxer in the normal course of business. The Univoxer Service is meant to be a interpreteur finder to support conversation between to persons who don’t speak the same language, using data service through a user’s phone (either via cell network or wifi). Users select a language that need a support and our servers locate a interpreteur to translate the talk, contecting him to support the conversation (who must also be a Univoxer user), if exist a intepreteur to thats languages online. If there is no translations online, the request is not compleete. Notwithstanding the above, Univoxer may retain date and time stamp information associated with successfully delivered messages, location of the call, and id of users who request support, as well as any other information which Univoxer is legally compelled to collect. Files that are sent through the Univoxer Service will reside on our servers after delivery for a short period of time, but are deleted and stripped of any identifiable information within a short period of time in accordance with our general retention policies.
The Way Univoxer Uses Information
If you submit Personally Identifiable Information to us through the Univoxer Site, or Univoxer Service, then we use your personal information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the Univoxer Site and Univoxer Service. In particular, your mobile phone and e-mail address are essential to your use of the Univoxer Service and will be retained. Any billing information that may be collected from you will be deleted thirty (30) days after the termination of your account with Univoxer. Any Personally Identifiable Information or status content that you voluntarily disclose on the Univoxer Service becomes publicly available and may be collected and used by other users of the Univoxer Service (unless such user is blocked by you). Your name (as it is saved in other user’s mobile phone address book or contact list) will not be displayed to other users, translators or others when you update your status messages through the Univoxer Service and other users may contact you through the Univoxer Service. We do not use your mobile phone number or other Personally Identifiable Information to send commercial or marketing messages without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. We may, however, use your mobile phone number (or email address, if provided) without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major Univoxer Site or Univoxer Service changes or for customer service purposes). We may use both your Personally Identifiable Information and certain non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous user usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the Univoxer Site and Univoxer Service and to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing user preferences and trends. Hopefully we improve the Univoxer Site and Service and don’t make it suck worse. We may use cookies and log file information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you use the Univoxer Service or Univoxer Site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information, in real time to translate languages; (c) monitor individual and aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.; and (d) track your entries, submissions, views and such.
When Univoxer Discloses Information
Other users of the Univoxer Service may see your Status Submissions in a way that is consistent with the use of the Univoxer Service.
We do not sell or share your Personally Identifiable Information (such as mobile phone number) with other third-party companies for their commercial or marketing use without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. We may share your Personally Identifiable Information with third party service providers to the extent that it is reasonably necessary to perform, improve or maintain the Univoxer Service. We may share non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform types, asset views, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third-parties to assist them in understanding the usage patterns for certain content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality on the Univoxer Site. We may collect and release Personally Identifiable Information and/or non-personally-identifiable information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws (such as U.S. Copyright Law), international law or respond to a court order, subpoena, or search warrant or equivalent, or where in our reasonable belief, an individual’s physical safety may be at risk or threatened. Univoxer also reserves the right to disclose Personally Identifiable Information and/or non-personally-identifiable information that Univoxer believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce our Terms of Service, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend itself against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of the Univoxer Site or our servers, and to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Univoxer, our users or others.
Your Choices
You may, of course, decline to submit Personally Identifiable Information through the Univoxer Site or the Univoxer Service, in which case Univoxer may not be able to provide certain services to you. If you do not agree with our Privacy Policy or Terms of Service, please delete your account, uninstall the Univoxer mobile application and discontinue use of the Univoxer Service; your continued usage of the Univoxer Service will signify your assent to and acceptance of our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as SMS authentication in certain cases) to verify your identity before registering your mobile phone number and granting you access to the Univoxer Service. Please contact Univoxer via email to support at Univoxer.com or available web forms with any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, your personal information, your consent, or your opt-in or opt-out choices.
Third-party Advertisers, Links to Other Sites
We are not fans of advertising. Univoxer is currently ad-free and we hope to keep it that way forever. We have no intention to introduce advertisement into the product, but if we ever do, will update this section.
Our Commitment To Data Security
Univoxer uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Univoxer and you do so at your own risk. Using unsecured wifi or other unprotected networks to submit messages through the Univoxer Service is never recommended. Once we receive your transmission of information, Univoxer makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. If Univoxer learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. Univoxer may post a notice on the Univoxer Site or through the Univoxer Service if a security breach occurs.
Our Commitment To Childrens’ Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, Univoxer does not knowingly collect or maintain Personally Identifiable Information or non-personally-identifiable information on the Univoxer Site or Univoxer Service from persons under 16 years of age, and no part of the Univoxer Service is directed to or intended to be used by persons under 16. If you are under 16 years of age, then please do not use the Univoxer Service or access the Univoxer Site at any time or in any manner. If Univoxer learns that Personally Identifiable Information of persons under 16 years of age has been collected on the Univoxer Site or Univoxer Service, then Univoxer may deactivate the account and/or make the status submissions inaccessible. And always, think of the children!

If you are a user accessing the Univoxer Site and Service from the European Union, Asia, United States or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure, that differ from Brazil laws, please be advised that through your continued use of the Univoxer Site and Service, which are governed by Santa Catarina law, this Privacy Policy, and our Terms of Service, you are transferring your personal information to the Brazil and you expressly consent to that transfer and consent to be governed by Santa Catarina law for these purposes.
In the Event of Merger, Sale, or Bankruptcy
In the event that Univoxer is acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the right to transfer or assign the information we have collected from our users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the (hopefully) unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally, we may not be able to control how your personal information is treated, transferred, or used.
