Aventiv takes safeguarding your personal information seriously. We have implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. We also have implemented measures to maintain the ongoing confidentiality, integrity and availability of the systems, products, and Services that process personal information and will endeavor to restore the availability and access to data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident.
When you make a payment through an Aventiv company using your credit card or debit card, we use methods designed to keep your payment card information secure that comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (“PCI DSS”), at the highest security level. This applies to all card information Aventiv possesses or otherwise stores, processes, or transmits on your behalf. We also require the companies that provide services to us and store, possess, process, transmit, or otherwise handle card information in their data environment to acknowledge their responsibility for card data security. PCI DSS compliance is mandatory for ALL Aventiv associates, contractors, vendors, and business associates with roles involving an Aventiv data environment that is subject to PCI DSS. An independent PCI DSS examiner reviews and certifies our compliance annually.
Although we have implemented security measures and strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted or stored electronically.
To help protect you and others, we may monitor use of the Aventiv products and Services, and use your personal information and other information we collect, in order to: identify fraudulent activities and transactions; prevent abuse of and investigate and/or seek prosecution for any potential threats to or misuse of the products and Services; ensure compliance with the applicable terms of service and this Privacy Policy; investigate violations of or enforce the applicable terms of service and this Privacy Policy; and otherwise to protect the rights and property of us, our partners, and customers. Monitoring performed by correctional facilities using our products and Services includes the collection, recording, live monitoring and analysis of activity or communications. Call and video recordings are the property of the correctional facilities and used at their discretion. Standard practice, and at the discretion of the correctional facility, is to exempt juvenile activity and communications from monitoring. If you do not consent to these conditions, you must discontinue your use of the products and Services.
Certain numbers (which are typically attorney numbers) may be exempted from recording by their designation as a Private Number. A number may be registered as a Private Number via contacting the applicable incarceration facility and following that facility’s procedures for Private Number registration. Once properly registered in accordance with the applicable incarceration facility, calls to a Private Number will, under applicable circumstances, not be recorded and cannot be monitored.
Only incarceration facilities may decide which numbers are Private Numbers and the circumstances in which those Private Numbers are excluded from recording and monitoring. The treatment of non-recorded calls may vary from facility to facility, and may include circumstances such as (1) designating a number as a Private Number for only one individual as opposed to all individuals incarcerated at a site or facility; (2) designating a number as a Private Number only for calls made at certain times of day; and (3) designating a number as a Private Number only for calls made on certain telephones designated for non-recorded calls.
Each incarceration facility maintains its own list of Private Numbers. Having a number designated as a Private Number at one facility does not necessarily mean that number will be treated as a Private Number for all individuals incarcerated at that facility or at other facilities, even if those incarcerated individuals or facilities are under the same agency or Department of Corrections. If a called party wants to designate their number as a Private Number for incarcerated clients in different facilities, they must register their number as Private at each of those incarcerated facilities and for each client. If a phone number is not designated as a Private Number, it will be recorded and may be monitored.
If calls occur before a number is designated by a facility as a Private Number for the relevant individual(s), calls to that attorney’s number from the relevant incarcerated person(s) are recorded and may be monitored.
IF YOU ARE USING SECURUS PRODUCTS OR SERVICES TO COMMUNICATE WITH AN INCARCERATED INDIVIDUAL, CONTACT THE RELEVANT FACILITY BEFORE COMMUNICATING TO CONFIRM THAT YOUR NUMBER WILL BE TREATED AS A PRIVATE NUMBER DURING YOUR COMMUNICATIONS.
RECORDED CALLS ARE PRECEDED BY A WARNING REGARDING THE RECORDING STATUS OF THE CALL, WHICH MAY VARY FROM FACILITY TO FACILITY. IF YOU HEAR ANY WARNING STATING THAT A CALL IS SUBJECT TO RECORDING, MAY BE RECORDED, OR WILL BE RECORDED, THAT MEANS THE CALL IS NOT PRIVATE AND WILL BE RECORDED. IF YOU HEAR SUCH A WARNING AND CONTINUE WITH THE CALL, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THAT CALL BEING RECORDED AND THE CONTENTS OF THE CALL RECORDING BEING SHARED WITH OR AMONG CORRECTIONS OR LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL.
