Welcome to www.myBailoutRants.com (the "Website") operated by Voice Portraits, LLC, a New York limited liability company ("Operator", "us", "we", or "our").  This Privacy Policy is intended to inform you about how we collect and use information through the Service (defined below).

This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms of Use, set forth the rules and policies governing your use of the Website and the Service (the “Policies”).  By using the Website or the Service, you agree to accept the Policies.  We may change the Policies from time to time without notice.  Therefore we recommend you check back periodically to ensure you are comfortable with the most recent Policies.  Immediately after we post any changes to the Policies, those changes are deemed effective, whether or not you have reviewed them.  By using the Service after we post any changes to the Policies, you agree to accept those changes.  If at any time you choose not to accept the Policies, please do not use the Service. 

What does Operator do?

Operator provides a service (the "Service") which enables callers to create voice recordings ("Recordings") through a telephone recording network (the “Network”) that are saved and made available on the internet at the Website. The Service also provides visitors to the Website (“Visitors”) with the opportunity to post messages, comments, and other content (collectively, "Content") on the Website.

What type of information do we collect from and about you and how do we use it?

Visitors may use the Website without providing any personally identifiable information ("PII").  Please do not include any PII in Recordings or Content.  When you use the Website, we will collect anonymous and aggregate information about you (“User Information”). There are several ways that we may collect User Information. For instance, we collect information about your preferences in navigating the Website by using cookies, action tags and other methods. Cookies are small text files that identify your computer. We may use cookies to, among other things, monitor Website usage, customize Website features, and identify your computer's operating system and browser. An action tag is a small, graphic image on a webpage that is designed to allow the website owner or a third party to monitor who is visiting a website by collecting the IP address of the computer that the tag is sent to, the URL of the webpage that the tag comes from and the time it was viewed. Such tags also may be associated with cookie information.  We may also collect the address of the website from which your visit originated, the domain name of your Internet service provider, the pages you visit on the Website, the duration of your visit and your IP Address.  If you call the Network, we may also collect the phone number from which your call originated.

Operator will provide User Information to entities who work on behalf of or with us. For instance, we may transfer information collected by us, including User Information, to service providers and other third parties who assist us in running the Website. Operator may also share your User Information with third parties for marketing and other purposes, and you acknowledge that the handling of your User Information by such third parties will not be governed by the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you are concerned about Operator sharing your User Information or PII with third parties or otherwise transferring or disposing of your User Information or PII, you should not use the Website, make Recordings or submit or post any Content to the Website.

Please keep in mind that any Recordings you make or Content you submit may be accessible by  all Visitors.  Any Content for which you send a link to any party may be accessible by all Visitors. Operator may copy, modify, adapt, publish, create derivative works from or incorporate into other works derive revenue or other remuneration from, communicate to the public, distribute, perform or display (in whole or in part) any Recordings you make or Content you post or submit to the Website worldwide and/or incorporate them in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, and grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing through multiple tiers of sublicensees, including the right to exercise the copyright, publicity, and any other rights over any of the materials contained in such Recordings or Content for any purpose, including for purposes of advertising and publicity on the Website and elsewhere.

We may release User Information and PII if we believe such release is necessary to comply with the law (e.g., a legal process or a statutory authorization), to apply or enforce our customer agreements, to protect our rights or property, or to protect visitors from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of the Service and/or the Website; or if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of such User Information or PII or other information without delay.

How do we store information?

Operator takes reasonable steps consistent with industry standards to assure that User Information collected is secured from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, and destruction in storage while under our control. Please note that despite our efforts to safeguard User Information, we cannot guarantee that such information will not be disclosed or accessed by accidental circumstances or by the unauthorized acts of others.

Do we provide links to other websites?

Operator may provide links to other websites or resources of possible interest to you. Because we have no control over such websites or resources, the collection and use of your PII and other information by such websites shall be subject to the policies and procedures of such websites and not this Privacy Policy.
