IDT is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. Through our Boss Revolution brand we provide consumers with various products and services that let you stay connected to the ones you love.
This Boss Revolution Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) sets forth our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and sharing of your personal information. We also explain the steps we take to protect your information and how you can limit the collection, use and sharing of your information.
This Policy applies to the following unless otherwise noted:

This Policy does not apply to products or services offered by IDT Payment Services, Inc. or IDT Payment Services of NY LLC, including money transfer, domestic bill payment and international bill payment, and to any information collected during transactions for those products and services. The policies and procedures governing your personal information collected during transactions for those products are governed by the IDT Payment Services, Inc. and IDT Payment Services of NY LLC Privacy Statement, which can be found at www.bossrevolution.com/en-us/services/money-transfer.
You should also read the terms of service for each Service that you use, which can be found at the applicable BR Website or in the BR App.
We may update this Policy from time to time and you should review it periodically for changes. Any updated Policy will be posted at the BR Websites and the BR App.
IDT receives and collects both personal and non-identifying information from you when we operate and provide you with the Services, when you install, access or use the Services and when you communicate with us. Personal information means information either on its own or in conjunction with other data that enables a specific person to be identified, but does not include “de-identified,” “anonymous,” or “aggregate” information, which is not otherwise associated with a specific person. Non-identifying information means information that by itself cannot be used to identify a specific person (e.g., zip code).

We use all the information we collect and receive to help us operate, provide, improve, understand, customize, support, and market our Services. In addition, we use your information for general, operational and administrative purposes, including maintaining your account, authenticating you and contacting you. As used in this Policy, the terms “use,” “using” and “processing” information include using cookies or other similar technologies on a computer/phone/device, subjecting the information to statistical or other analysis and using or handling information in any way, including but not limited to, scanning, collecting, storing, evaluating, aggregating, modifying, deleting, using, combining, disclosing and sharing information among our affiliates both in and outside the United States and to select service providers and vendors.
A. Our Services. We analyze how our customers use our Services and use that information to evaluate and improve our Services, to research, develop, and test new services and features, and to conduct troubleshooting activities. For example:
we communicate with you about our Services and features and let you know about our terms and policies and other important updates;
we may target particular advertisements or other content to you based information we have collected or you provided;
we may digitally scan content stored in the BR App, including without limitation, your user information and message content, and use this information to provide you with targeted information and advertising;
we use your information to respond to you when you contact us. Our communications with you, including phone conversations, chats and emails, may be monitored and recorded by us for quality assurance or for legal, regulatory or training purposes; and
we verify accounts and activity, and promote safety and security, such as by investigating suspicious activity or violations of our terms, to ensure our Services are being used legally.
B. Web Technologies. The BR Websites and BR App may use certain web technologies such as “cookies” or “web beacons.” We use cookies, small text files stored locally on your computer or device to serve as markers, to operate, provide, improve and customize our Services and your experiences. For example, we use cookies to understand which of our FAQs are most popular and to show you relevant content related to our Services. Additionally, we may use cookies to remember your choices, such as your language preferences. Web beacons are used to tell us how and when pages in our sites are visited, by how many people, their point of origin and operating system and to monitor performance with our Services. These technologies do not collect personal information. We do not honor any web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide you the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of information about your online activities over time and across third party websites or online services. We use and share this data and information to deliver customized content and advertising, to ensure that you see the correct product information, to manage the frequency with which you see an advertisement, to tailor advertisements to better match your interests, and to understand the effectiveness of our advertising. The content may be delivered on the BR Websites, on non-IDT websites, on the BR App, by our representatives, and via email, SMS, push notifications or other IDT services. In addition, if you respond to or interact with a particular advertisement, you may later receive a targeted advertisement as a result of an ad server or ad network concluding that you fit within a particular audience we are trying to reach.
C. Web Analysis. We use certain Google Analytics Advertising Features, including Remarketing and Demographics and Interest Reporting. Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google that allows us to collect data about the traffic on the BR Websites through Google cookies and other identifiers, which enables us, among other things, to create user segments based on demographic or interest data and to deliver relevant advertising. Google utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of our websites and to prepare reports on the activities and share them with other Google services. Google may use the data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. You may be able to opt out of the Google Analytics Advertising Features through your browser ads settings or by visiting Google’s Ads Settings page.
D. BR App. We engage certain service providers and vendors who use mobile software development kits to passively collect information from users of the BR App. We use this data primarily to help us deliver personalized notifications and to identify you in a unique manner across other devices or browsers for the purposes of customizing advertisements or content.
We share all the information we collect and receive with our affiliates, both in and outside the United States, and to select service providers and vendors, to help us operate, provide, improve, understand, customize, support, and market our Services, and for general, operational and administrative purposes, including maintaining your account, authenticating you and contacting you. When we share information with our service providers and vendors, we require them to use your information only in accordance with our instructions and terms or with express permission from you and not to sell your information. In addition, you share your information as you use and communicate through our Services.
A. Information Shared Within the IDT Family of Companies. We share information within the IDT family of companies, including our affiliates both in and outside the United States (collectively, the “IDT Family of Companies”) primarily to operate, provide, support and market our Services. For example, if you purchase a BR Product, then we share your purchase information with various IDT affiliates in order to process your transaction.
B. Information Shared with our Service Providers and Vendors. We work with various service providers and vendors for a variety of business purposes such as to help us offer, operate, provide, improve, understand, customize, support and market our Services. We share information with these service providers and vendors to the extent reasonably necessary for them to perform work on our behalf. For example, we may provide your credit card information and billing address to our payment processing company solely for the purpose of processing payment for a transaction you have requested. In addition, IDT shares certain information, including unique marketing identifiers, email addresses and mobile phone numbers, with some of our service providers and vendors, including Google and Facebook, for marketing, advertising and analysis purposes, including the delivery of advertising campaigns and preparing and sharing aggregate business and marketing reports, demographic profiling and to deliver targeted advertising about products and services. When we share information with our service providers and vendors, we request that these parties protect your information and limit their use of the data to the purposes for which it was provided, and not to sell your information. IDT does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Finally, if you purchase products or services offered jointly by IDT and one of our service providers or vendors, your customer information may be received by both IDT and the service provider or vendor that is providing the product or service. For these jointly offered products and services, you should also review the other company’s privacy policy, which may include practices that are different from the practices described here.
C. Special Circumstances. We may share information in certain special circumstances. For example:
to comply with valid legal process including subpoenas, court orders and search warrants, and as otherwise permitted or required by law;
to assist law enforcement in cases involving danger of death or serious physical injury to any person or in other emergencies;
to protect our rights or property, or the safety of our customers or employees;
to protect against fraudulent, malicious, abusive, unauthorized or unlawful use of our Services and to protect our network, Services, devices and users from such use;
to advance or defend against complaints or legal claims in court, administrative proceedings and elsewhere;
to prospective purchasers of all or part of our business or assets;
to outside auditors, lawyers and regulators; and
with your consent.
D. Information Shared with Advertising Entities or Social Networks. You may see third party advertisements on BR Products, the BR Websites and/or the BR App. Some advertisements are chosen by companies that place advertisements on behalf of advertisers. These companies, often called ad servers, may place and access cookies on your device to collect information about your visit. The information they collect from our sites is in a form that does not identify you personally. This information may be combined with similar data obtained from other websites to help our advertisers better reach their targeted audiences. Targeting may be accomplished by tailoring advertising to interests that they infer from your browsing of our sites and your interaction with other websites where these ad servers also are present. If you choose to interact with specific advertisers who advertise on the BR, Products, BR Websites or the BR App, the information you provide to them is subject to the conditions of their specific privacy policies. The BR Websites and BR App also include plug-ins and widgets that may provide information to their associated social networks or entities about the IDT page you visit, even if you do not click on or otherwise interact with the plug-in or widget.
E. When You Share Information. You share your information as you use and communicate through our Services. Your phone number, profile name and photo, and online status may be available to anyone who uses our Services, although you can configure your Services settings to manage certain information available to other users. Users with whom you communicate may store or share your information (including your phone number or messages) with others on and off our Services.
You have choices about how we use and share your information and there are additional protections that may apply with regard to certain information we collect.
A. Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI). CPNI is information made available to us solely by virtue of our relationship with you that relates to the type, quantity, destination, technical configuration, location, and amount of use of the telecommunications and interconnected VoIP services you purchase from us, as well as related billing information. You have a right, and we have a duty, under federal law to protect the confidentiality of your CPNI. We use and share your CPNI within the IDT Family of Companies and with/to their agents, contractors and partners for marketing purposes, including to offer you services that are different from the services you currently purchase from us. If you don’t want your CPNI used for the marketing purposes described above, please notify us online at [email protected]. Unless you notify us, we may use your CPNI as described above and your choice will remain valid until you notify us that you wish to change your selection. Your decision about use of your CPNI will not affect the provision of any Services you currently have with us. Note: this CPNI notice may not apply to residents of certain states, including Arizona.
B. Telemarketing. Federal “Do Not Call” laws allow you to place your phone numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry to prevent telemarketing calls to those numbers. To add your numbers to this list, please call 1-888-382-1222, or visit www.donotcall.gov. Most telemarketing laws allow companies to contact their own customers without consulting the Federal or State Do Not Call lists. If you would like to be removed from IDT’s telemarketing list, please contact us at [email protected]. Please allow 30 days for your telephone number to be removed from any sales programs that are currently underway. Please note that we may still call you regarding your Services and account even if you remove your number from our telemarketing list.
C. Email, Text Messages and Push Notifications. Marketing emails you receive from us will include an unsubscribe feature usually found at the bottom of the email that you may use to opt out of receiving future marketing emails. Marketing text and SMS messages from us also contain an opt-out feature that you can use to prevent future marketing text and SMS messages from us. You may refuse to consent to receive calls and texts from IDT and its affiliates that require your consent, including autodialed, pre-recorded or artificial voice telemarketing calls. You may also withdraw your previously given consent to receive such calls and texts. You can opt out of receiving push notifications from us via the BR App by going to your device “Settings” and clicking on “Notifications,” and then changing those settings for the BR App. Please note that you cannot withdraw your consent to receive certain in-BR App messages from IDT. Your ability to manage some of our Services could be limited if you withdraw your consent to receive text and SMS messages. IDT does not recommend using those Services without authorization to receive such messages.
D. Online Information. You have choices about whether certain information collected on the BR Websites and BR App is used to customize advertising based on predictions generated from your visits over time and across different websites and apps. Similarly, many mobile devices offer controls you can set to limit the advertising use of information collected across mobile apps on your device. Please note that many opt outs use browser cookies or device controls and are specific to the device and browser you are using. If you buy a new computer, change web browsers or devices or delete the cookies on your computer, you may need to opt out again. In addition, ads you receive may still be tailored using other techniques such as publisher, device or browser-enabled targeting. You should check the privacy policies of the products, sites, apps and services you use to learn more about any such techniques and your options. You also can limit the collection of certain website information by deleting or disabling cookies. Most browsers enable you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Disabling cookies may prevent you from using specific features on our sites and other websites, such as ordering products or services and maintaining an online account.

We will also process any opt-out of sale/sharing preference signal that meets the requirements set forth in the CCPA and its regulations. IDT does not intentionally collect the personal information of a consumer under the age of 16. IDT does not intentionally sell or share the personal information of a consumer under the age of 16 unless the consumer (if age 13-16) or the consumer’s parent (for consumers under 13) affirmatively authorizes the sale or sharing.

E. Verification of Consumer Requests. In order to comply with a consumer request, IDT must reasonably verify the requestor. A record of each request is made as soon as it is received by our data protection team. IDT will use all reasonable measures to verify the identity of the individual making the request. We will utilize the requested data to ensure that we can verify the requestor’s identity and where we are unable to do so, we may contact you for further information, or ask you to provide evidence of your identity prior to responding to your request. This is to protect your data and rights. If a third party, relative or representative is requesting the data on your behalf, we will verify their authority to act for you and may contact you and them to confirm you and their identity and gain your authorization prior to responding to the request.
F. Responding to Consumer Requests. IDT will attempt to confirm receipt of each request by contacting the requestor either at the email or telephone number submitted, through the consumer’s account or by other electronic means. IDT will attempt to verify each request and if it is able to verify a request will provide a response (if necessary and applicable) within 45 days of the receipt of the request, which time period may be extended by IDT for an additional 45 days. If a delay is necessary, IDT will contact the requestor within the original 45 day period and provide the reasons for the delay. IDT may charge a fee or refuse to act on any request that is manifestly unfounded or excessive. All IDT responses shall be in writing and cover the previous 12 month period unless the consumer requests information beyond the 12 month period (only applies to personal information collected on or after January 1, 2022). Where possible the response shall be sent through the consumer’s account. Otherwise, the response shall be sent by mail or electronically. IDT is not obligated to provide a response to a consumer more than two times in any 12 month period. The CCPA contains certain exemptions and exceptions to the exercise of some of these rights. If one or more of those exemptions or exceptions applies to your request, then we may not be able to act upon your request. Where possible we will inform you of the reasons for not acting upon your request.
G. How Long will IDT Retain Your Personal Information. IDT retains your personal information for only as long as is necessary to carry out the purposes described above in this privacy policy, and we have strict review and retention policies in place to meet these obligations. This time period may vary depending on the type of information and the services used, as detailed below, and applicable law, which may require us to maintain information for a set amount of time. After such time, we will either delete or anonymize your information or, if this is not possible (for example, because the information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible. We may also retain aggregate information beyond this time for research purposes and to help us develop and improve our services. You cannot be identified from anonymized information retained or used for these purposes.
(i) Customer account information. We store your account information for as long as your account is active and a reasonable period thereafter in case you decide to re-activate your service. We also retain some of your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce our agreements, to support business operations, and to continue to develop and improve our services. We are required under certain applicable tax laws to keep your basic personal information (name, address, contact details) for a minimum of six years after which time it will be destroyed unless required to be kept for other purposes.
(ii) Communications usage information. While you are an active customer, we retain the communications usage information generated by your use of our services until the information is no longer necessary to provide our services, and for a reasonable time thereafter as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce our agreements, to support business operations, and to continue to develop and improve our services.
(iii) Marketing information, cookies and web beacons. Where you have consented to us using your details for direct marketing, we will keep such data until you notify us otherwise and/or withdraw your consent. We retain information derived from cookies and other tracking technologies for a reasonable period of time from the date such information was created.
(iv) Device information. We collect device-specific information from you. If you do not revoke our access to this information via the privacy settings on your device, we will retain this information for as long as your account is active.

B. Sensitive Data. The only sensitive data (as defined in the VCDPA) that IDT may collect and process is precise geolocation data (as defined in the VCDPA) from the BR App primarily for transaction compliance reasons if the user turns on the app’s location feature.
C. Your Rights. As a Virginia resident you have certain additional rights regarding your personal data under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (the “VCDPA”):
(i) Right to Confirm if a Controller is Processing Your Personal Data and to Access Personal Data – you have the right to request that IDT confirm whether or not it has collected and processed personal data about you and to access the personal data that we have collected about you;
(ii) Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Data – you have the right to request that IDT correct any inaccurate personal data that we maintain about you;
(iii) Right to Delete – you have the right to request that IDT delete any personal data that it has collected about you. There may be exceptions to this right and IDT does not have to delete your personal data if it is reasonably necessary to complete a transaction with you, to provide you with goods or services you requested, to comply with our legal obligations, and as otherwise provided by Virginia law. In addition, if your personal data is deleted you may not be able to purchase or use our products and services;
(v) Right to Obtain Copy of Personal Data in Portable Format – you have the right to obtain from IDT a copy of the personal data that we maintain about you in a portable format;
(vi) Right to Opt-Out of the Processing of Personal Data for purposes of Targeted Advertising, Sale, or Profiling with Legal Effects – IDT does not sell (as defined in the VCDPA) your personal data, process your personal data for Targeted Advertising (as defined in the VCDPA) or process your personal data for Profiling (as defined in the VCDPA) for decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. Nonetheless, you have the right to request that IDT not process your personal data for those purposes should IDT decide in the future to process your personal data for those purposes. To exercise this right please go to https://www.idt.net/vcdpa-request and complete the form.
D. How to Exercise Your Rights. To exercise any of your rights, please go to https://www.idt.net/vcdpa-request and complete the form. The VCDPA applies to individuals who are Virginia residents, but does not apply to individuals acting in a commercial context.
E. Authentication of Consumer Requests. In order to comply with a consumer request, IDT must reasonably authenticate the request. A record of each request is made as soon as it is received by our data protection team. IDT will use all reasonable measures to authenticate the identity of the individual making the request. We will utilize the requested data to ensure that we can verify the requestor’s identity and where we are unable to do so, we may contact you for further information, or ask you to provide evidence of your identity prior to responding to your request. This is to protect your data and rights.
F. Responding to Consumer Requests. IDT will attempt to authenticate each request and if it is able to authenticate a request it will provide a response (if necessary and applicable) within 45 days of the receipt of the request, which time period may be extended by IDT for an additional 45 days. If a delay is necessary, IDT will contact the requestor within the original 45 day period and provide the reasons for the delay. All IDT responses shall be in writing. The response shall be sent by mail or electronically. If IDT is not able to process your request, we will inform you of that and (where possible) of the reasons for not acting upon your request.
G. Appeal of Refusal to Take Action. If IDT refuses to take action on your request you have the right to appeal that refusal within 30 days of your receipt of IDT’s response by sending an email to [email protected] and requesting an appeal. Within 60 days of IDT’s receipt of your appeal, we will inform you of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including the reasons for our decision. If your appeal is denied, then you may contact the Virginia Attorney General at (804)786-2071 to submit a complaint.
A. Keeping Children Safe. IDT does not knowingly market to or collect information from children under the age of 16 without obtaining verifiable parental consent. If you allow a child to use your device or our Services, you should be aware that their information could be collected as described in this Policy. We encourage parents to be involved in the online activities of their children to ensure that no information is collected from a child without parental permission.
B. Security. IDT has technical, organizational and physical safeguards in place to help protect against unauthorized access to, use or disclosure of the information we collect and store. Employees are trained on the importance of protecting privacy and on the proper access to, use and disclosure of customer information. IDT secures information on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypted protection to protect the personal information transmitted to the BR Websites. The BR Websites and BR App are PCI compliant in connection with your credit card information. Although we work hard to protect your information that we collect and store, no program is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use or disclose that information. IDT maintains security and incident response plans to handle incidents involving unauthorized access to information we collect or store. If you become aware of a security issue, please contact us.
