1. Overview & Service Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how easyfaxonline.com ("Company", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you access our cloud-based faxing platform, mobile tools, browser extensions, or messaging-based fax utilities (collectively, the "Service").
We act as a data processor for the transmission of document payloads across public switched telephone networks (PSTN) and VoIP/telecom gateways. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.
2. Information We Collect
We collect several categories of information to operate, deliver, and secure our cloud fax services:
A. Account & Billing Information
- Identity Data: Full name, email address and fax number.
- Payment Data: Payment card details, billing address, and transaction logs (processed via PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment gateway creem.io).
B. Document Payloads & Transmission Data
- Fax Content: Files uploaded (PDF, DOCX, TIFF) for transmission. Content is strictly parsed, rendered, and queued for outbound fax delivery.
- Transmission Metadata: Sender fax number, recipient fax number, transmission timestamp, delivery status, page count, and error codes.
C. Automated & Technical Data
- IP address, browser type, device identifiers, system logs, and queue metrics necessary for troubleshooting rate limits and connection stability.
3. Telecommunications & Underlying Infrastructure
Our Service relies on tier-1 telecommunication network partners to route faxes over traditional telephony lines. When you submit a fax:
- Document payloads are transmitted securely (via TLS 1.3 / HTTPS) to specialized telephony gateways.
- Gateways convert your digital file into T.38 audio/data streams for transmission to physical or digital receiving fax machines.
- Underlying carriers temporarily handle metadata and carrier logs required by telecom regulations.
4. Data Retention & Auto-Deletion Policy
To prioritize privacy and minimize liability, we enforce automatic document retention limits:
| Data Type | Retention Period | Action After Expiration |
|---|---|---|
| Fax Attachments / Payloads | 3 Days | Permanently Purged |
| Transmission Metadata (Logs) | 30 Days | Anonymized for Analytics |
| Billing & Tax Records | 1 Year | Archived |
5. Security Standards
Security Infrastructure
All data in transit is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. Data at rest (cached documents) is encrypted using AES-256 standards.
6. Sharing & Disclosure of Information
We do not rent, sell, or trade your personal information or document contents. Information is only disclosed in the following scenarios:
- Telecom Suppliers: Necessary routing data passed to underlying carrier APIs for fax completion.
- Compliance & Legal Obligations: In response to valid subpoenas, court orders, or anti-spam regulatory investigations (e.g., FCC / TCPA inquiries).
7. User Rights & Contact
You have the right to access, rectify, or delete your personal account data, as well as export your transmission histories. For data deletion requests or legal inquiries, please contact:
