Terms of Use

Acceptance of Terms

The information and services that etherFAX provides are subject to the following Terms of Use (“TOU”). etherFAX reserves the right to update this TOU at any time without notice. If you have any questions about this TOU, please contact us via the contact information provided at the bottom of this page.

Description of Services

Through this website etherFAX provides you with access to a variety of resources, including but not limited to, download areas, product information, and access to web services supporting interoperable machine-to-machine communication (collectively “Services”). Your use of these Services, including any updates, enhancements, new features, and/or the addition of any web properties, are subject to this TOU.

Privacy and Protection of Personal Info

etherFAX takes the security of customer information seriously. It is our policy to ensure that documents or content communicated through the provided Services remain confidential while in etherFAX’s custodial care. etherFAX accomplishes this by adopting and implementing policies that meet or exceed compliance with recognized security and privacy standards such as PCI DSS, HITRUST, GDPR, CCPA, and other industry best security practices. These practices include the use of encryption, along with strong security defense systems to prevent malicious eavesdropping of sensitive information and other nefarious attacks on its overall operation. Customers can be confident that etherFAX follows these security policies, practices, and procedures due to the fact that etherFAX continually submits its operations to auditing by industry recognized/trusted third party verification organizations.

At the core of etherFAX’s security is to maintain a zero data retention policy for all customer document content information communicated through the use of the Service. Content received through the Service or sent by you through the Service is only maintained for the time necessary to complete the transfer of information between you and the at least one other party. Once the transfer operation has completed (success or failure), the document content information is purged from etherFAX’s systems. Therefore, you are responsible for maintaining the document content information for any residual purpose. Please note that depending on the origin or the specified destination of a document transfer request, the communication of a document’s content information may be subject to inherent limitations of the interconnect technology or the peer system’s capabilities.

In the course of managing our website and our web-services, we may use cookies and track information about visitors and users. This may include but not limited to tracking of the URL that visitors come from, the URL that visitors go to next, visitor browser versions, and visitor IP addresses. This information is used only for the purposes of assisting etherFAX in understanding the use of and increasing the functionality of routine operation of our website and web services. This information is never sold to third parties by etherFAX.

For the avoidance of doubt, etherFAX does not create or generate document content on your behalf, nor does it monitor the contents of incoming and outgoing documents or distribution lists. Furthermore, etherFAX does not disclose document content information to third parties that are not party to the transfer of the information, unless required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to protect and defend the rights, operations, or property of etherFAX.
