LADDR, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company having its principal place of business at 14747 N Northsight Blvd., Suite 111-467, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260 ("Laddr," "we," "us," or "our"), provides an artificial-intelligence-powered customer-communications platform, including the LARA voice-agent service, the Pulse embedded chat-widget service, and the Boost outbound-messaging service (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") describes the categories of Personal Information that Laddr Processes in connection with the Service, the purposes for which we Process such Personal Information, the categories of third parties to which we disclose Personal Information, the rights afforded to consumers under applicable United States state privacy laws, and the means by which such rights may be exercised. This Policy applies to (a) visitors to useladdr.com and its subdomains (the "Sites"); (b) prospective and active business customers of the Service ("Customers"); and (c) the end users of our Customers, including the callers, chat-widget visitors, SMS recipients, and email recipients with whom our Customers communicate through the Service ("End Users"). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Policy have the meanings given in our Terms of Service.

01

Roles of the parties

For purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, "CCPA"), and analogous statutes in other United States jurisdictions:

Laddr as Business (controller)

With respect to Personal Information of Customer personnel (including account administrators, billing contacts, and authorized users), and with respect to Personal Information collected directly by Laddr from visitors to the Sites, Laddr acts as a Business (controller) and determines the purposes and means of Processing.

Laddr as Service Provider (processor)

With respect to Personal Information of End Users that is submitted to, generated by, or Processed through the Service in the course of a Customer's communications with its End Users, including call audio, call transcripts, chat transcripts, voicemail recordings, SMS message bodies, email content, contact records, lead records, appointment data, and review submissions (collectively, "Customer Data"), Laddr acts as a Service Provider (processor) to the Customer, and the Customer is the Business (controller). Laddr Processes such Personal Information only on the documented instructions of the Customer, subject to the terms of the applicable order form, the Terms of Service, and any executed Data Processing Addendum.

End Users seeking to exercise rights with respect to Personal Information Processed by Laddr on behalf of a Customer should direct their requests to the Customer. Laddr will, on Customer's instruction and to the extent reasonably necessary, assist Customer in responding to verified consumer-rights requests as required by applicable law.

09

Call recording, monitoring, and two-party-consent jurisdictions

Where Customer enables LARA or any other call-handling feature of the Service, Customer instructs Laddr to record, transcribe, and persist the audio and transcribed content of telephone calls placed to or received from End Users at the Customer's telephone numbers.

Customer represents and warrants that it has obtained, or will obtain prior to the recording event, all consents required by applicable federal and state wiretap, eavesdropping, and call-recording statutes, including the Federal Wiretap Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2510 et seq., and applicable state laws including California Penal Code §§ 631 and 632, Florida Statutes § 934.03, 720 Illinois Compiled Statutes § 5/14-2, Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 272 § 99, Connecticut General Statutes § 52-570d, Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings § 10-402, Pennsylvania Wiretap Act 18 Pa.C.S. § 5701 et seq., Washington Privacy Act, RCW 9.73, and corresponding statutes in any other jurisdiction in which an End User is located.

The Service is configured by default to play a recorded disclosure at the commencement of each inbound call and to honor End User requests to discontinue recording. Customer is responsible for not disabling such disclosure where applicable law requires it.

10

Telephone and SMS communications; TCPA

The Boost outbound-messaging service, and any other feature of the Service that originates SMS or voice traffic to End Users, is provided as a transmission facility on Customer's behalf.

Customer represents and warrants that it has obtained, prior to each transmission, the consent required by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, the implementing regulations of the Federal Communications Commission, and the published standards of CTIA and applicable wireless carriers, including prior express written consent for marketing messages sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice.

Part 316, including accurate sender identification, non-deceptive subject lines, a functioning unsubscribe mechanism, and a valid physical postal address.

12

Cookies and similar technologies

The Sites and the authenticated Service set first-party cookies, local-storage entries, and similar identifiers strictly necessary for session management, authentication, security, fraud prevention, and load balancing. The Sites also set a limited number of analytics identifiers used to measure aggregate usage.

Laddr does not deploy third-party advertising cookies, cross-site tracking pixels, or cross-context behavioral-advertising identifiers on the Sites or within the authenticated Service. Browser-level "Do Not Track" and Global Privacy Control signals are honored as opt-outs of sale and sharing where applicable.

13

Retention

Personal Information is retained only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes set forth in this Policy or as required or permitted by applicable law. Standard retention windows are as follows:

  • Active-account Customer Data: duration of the subscription, plus ninety (90) days following termination, after which Customer Data is purged from production systems.
  • Backups containing Customer Data: up to thirty-five (35) days, after which backups are cycled out and Customer Data is unrecoverable.
  • Activity and event logs: 180 days.
  • Audit-event records: 365 days.
  • Widget-impression events: 90 days.
  • Notifications: 60 days following read receipt.
  • Finished background-job records: 90 days.
  • Rate-limit slot records: 24 hours.
  • Billing and tax records: seven (7) years from the close of the applicable tax year, in accordance with 26 U.S.C. § 6001 and corresponding state-law requirements.
  • Aggregated and de-identified data: indefinite, in a form that does not reasonably permit re-identification.

14

Security

Laddr maintains an information-security program that includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards reasonably designed to protect Personal Information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. Such safeguards include encryption of Personal Information in transit (TLS 1.2 or higher) and at rest (AES-256), least-privilege access controls, multi-factor authentication for privileged access, audit logging, vulnerability scanning, dependency-supply-chain monitoring, network segmentation, and incident-response procedures.

No security control is perfect, and no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be one-hundred-percent secure; Laddr therefore does not warrant absolute security. In the event of a Security Incident (as defined in the applicable Data Processing Addendum) involving Customer Data, Laddr will notify Customer without undue delay and in any event within seventy-two (72) hours of confirmation, and will provide such information and cooperation as Customer reasonably requires to discharge its own notification obligations.

15

Children

The Service is not directed to, and Laddr does not knowingly collect Personal Information from, children under the age of thirteen (13). If Laddr learns that it has collected Personal Information from a child under thirteen (13) without verifiable parental consent, Laddr will promptly delete such information.

16
