Privacy Policy
Voices’s privacy policy covers the collection and use of personal information that may be collected by Voices any time you interact with Voices, such as when you visit our website, when you purchase Voices products and services, or when you contact our sales or support representatives. Please take a moment to read the following to learn more about our privacy policies, including what type of information is gathered, how the information is used and for what purposes, to whom we disclose the information, and how we safeguard your personal information. Your privacy is a priority at Voices, and we go to great lengths to protect it.
Your Privacy Protection is Assured
Protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information is fundamental to the way we conduct business at Voices. To us, providing you with the best customer service includes handling your personal information with great care and respect.

The information is only accessed by authorized system administrators and support representatives to help answer questions regarding your membership account. More specifically, we use this information to communicate with you.
How We Protect Your Information
We protect your information at all times with appropriate safeguards and security measures.

These companies are also obligated to protect your personal information in accordance with Voices’s policies.
