Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 2026
VOIP LLC and its affiliates (collectively, “VOIP LLC,” “voip.com,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information in connection with our Voice over Internet Protocol (“VOIP”) services, including voice calling, text messaging (SMS), voicemail, call forwarding, and related features (the “Services”).

This policy does not apply to publicly available information or de-identified/aggregated data. We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, targeted advertising, profiling, or to third parties for marketing purposes.
If you are a resident of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Delaware, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, Minnesota, Maryland, Nebraska, Indiana, Kentucky, Rhode Island, or any other state with comprehensive consumer privacy laws, you may have enhanced rights described below.
