Information security
Personal information is only available to employees of Phondoo.com and its agents. Phondoo makes its best effort to ensure that your personal information will not be compromised.
Data integrity
Phondoo will only collect data necessary to provide its Services. Phondoo takes reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information whenever necessary.
Accessing and updating personal information
Phondoo, through its services, makes good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and opportunities to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. Before considering such requests, Phondoo requres individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. Where Phondoo provides information access and correction, Phondoo will perform this service free of charge except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.
Enforcement
Phondoo regularly reviews its compliance with this Policy, and works to ensure that the Policy provides Phondoo uses with a high level of privacy protection. Phondoo welcomes all inquiries on this Policy at
