If you have deleted your Account by mistake, contact us immediately at [email protected]; if possible, we will attempt to assist in recovering any lost information following an accidental account closure (though we make no representations that we will be able to recover or restore any information).
BILLING AND PAYMENT
Some of the Services are currently free, but we reserve the right to charge for certain or all Services in the future. We will notify you before any Services you are currently using begin carrying a fee, and if you wish to continue using such Services, you must pay all applicable fees for such Services.
If you choose to sign up for any Services that carry a fee (the “Paid Services”) you will be charged the then current fees for such Paid Services. Dialpad’s current fees for the Paid Services can be found at https://dialpad.com/pricing/. Unless otherwise agreed, all fees paid to Dialpad are non-refundable.
Unless you are paying for the service pursuant to an invoicing arrangement with Dialpad or one of our authorized resellers (“Reseller”), as described in the following paragraphs, any applicable initiation charges, usage, monthly recurring charges, support charges, and other fees are billed in full in advance. Termination, international calling, equipment return fees, and transfer charges, if any, are billed in arrears. Upon termination of your Account for any reason, all unused calling credits and international calling credits shall expire in their entirety on the termination date. No refund, transfer, or proration shall be made of any unused calling credits, additional credits, promotional credits, or international calling credits or of any remaining periods/months on any account.
When you subscribe to Services, you will provide us with a valid payment method, such as a valid credit card (including proper billing information), and, if applicable, authorize us to collect from your payment method. Any authorization will remain valid until thirty (30) days after you terminate our authority to charge your payment method. Upon termination, we will charge you any fees and any other outstanding charges and disconnect your Services. You agree to advise and notify us of any changes to your payment method, such as credit card account number or expiration date changes. If the credit card or other payment method on your Account is declined or fails for any reason, Dialpad will use reasonable efforts to contact you and advise you of the failed billing attempts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dialpad reserves the right to disconnect your Services and terminate your Account if your credit card on file is declined or fails for any reason, and Dialpad reserves the right to continue to attempt charging your credit card for any outstanding Services charges and additional fees and pursue any other legal remedies available to Dialpad.
Time is of the essence for payment. Therefore, you agree to pay us interest at the lesser rate of (a) 18% per annum or (b) the highest rate allowed by law for any amounts unpaid as of the due date. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “Paid in Full”) shall not waive any of Dialpad’s rights to collect the full amount due. We may assess an additional fee of the lesser of (a) fifty dollars ($50) or (b) the highest amount allowed by law for any credit card chargeback or check returned for nonpayment.
Billing cycle end dates may change from time to time. When a billing cycle covers less than or more than a full month, we may make reasonable adjustments and prorate the charges to your Account.
You must dispute any charges for the Services in writing to Dialpad within thirty (30) days of the date of the charge by Dialpad. If you fail to provide a written statement explaining in reasonable detail your reasons for disputing the charge within such time period, you irrevocably waive any objection and further recourse with regard to such charges. Written statements disputing charges must be sent to [email protected].
PRODUCT PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
With respect to its advertising, offering, or sale of Services, Dialpad attempts to describe its products as accurately as possible. Nevertheless, Dialpad does not warrant that any descriptions, pricing, availability, or other information relating to the advertising, offering, or sale of Services (collectively, “Service Information”) from its website, marketing materials, promotional flyers, advertisements, or other printed or electronic materials (collectively, “Service Materials”) is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. Despite our efforts, it is possible that Service Information may be mispriced or described inaccurately, or that the Services may be unavailable. In the event Dialpad determines that a Service is mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable, Dialpad reserves the right to take any action it deems reasonable and necessary to rectify the error, including without limitation, canceling your Account or subscription to the Services. You agree to notify Dialpad immediately if you become aware of any pricing or descriptive errors or inconsistencies with any Services you order through the Service Materials and comply with any corrective action taken by Dialpad. You acknowledge and agree that the Services may not be available 100% of the time. Credit allowances for interruption of the Services may only be provided on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of Dialpad and shall be your sole remedy for any Service interruptions or other issues with the Services.
TAXES, CHARGES, AND FEES
All fees for Services advertised or otherwise listed on the website are exclusive of any federal, state, local sales, international excise, value-added, and similar taxes or fees and administrative or recovery fees or charges (collectively “Taxes and Fees”). For subscribers of Dialpad Paid Services, you agree to pay all Taxes and Fees and/or similar liabilities, however denominated, that may now or hereafter be levied on the Services, which are chargeable to or recoverable from customers by any federal, state, local, or international law or regulation, as well as any administrative and recovery fees and charges levied on the Services by Dialpad, whether or not mandated by law or regulation. Should Dialpad pay or be required to pay such liabilities (including any Taxes and Fees that were due but not charged or previously collected), You agree that Dialpad may invoice you or charge your credit card on file for such payments upon receipt of an invoice and showing of indebtedness to Dialpad.
You are responsible for paying all charges for your Account, including but not limited to toll-free, local, long distance, international, additional feature charges, 411 and operator assisted charges, and directory assistance charges, and for all taxes, surcharges, and fees imposed on you or us as a result of your use of the Service.
DISCOUNTS
From time to time in its sole discretion, Dialpad may offer promotions or discounts. Any promotion or discount code must be provided to Dialpad upon purchase of the Services. You shall not be entitled to a subsequent credit for such promotions or discounts if you do not request such credit at the time of account creation or change of service. Promotions and/or discounts may not be used cumulatively or be used for Services retroactively. If a promotion and/or discount is offered on a confidential basis, you agree not to disclose the promotion and/or discount and to assume full responsibility for any harm, direct or indirect, caused to Dialpad by the disclosure of the promotion and/or discount.
UNLIMITED CALLING
Dialpad offers unlimited monthly calling for domestic calls (United States and Canada) from your mobile phone or computer. An unlimited service provides you with a domestic telephone number and is subject to the terms and restrictions of Dialpad’s Acceptable Use Policy, along with any other restrictions described herein, as well as any reseller agreements, if applicable. If, for any reason, Dialpad believes that you are using the unlimited service for a prohibited purpose and/or your call usage violates Dialpad’s Acceptable Use Policy, then Dialpad may, in its sole discretion, with or without notice, terminate your unlimited service.
TOLL-FREE CALLING
Dialpad offers toll-free numbers for an additional monthly fee, plus additional charges based on the minutes of use for inbound calls. Having a toll-free number requires that you maintain a balance of calling credits. When you are nearing exhaustion of your initial paid allotment of calling credits, we will automatically recharge on your behalf an incremental package for additional credits, unless you disable this feature otherwise. Post-paid pricing packages and other variable terms may be available through invoiced accounts or resellers. Please refer to any applicable reseller agreements for additional terms of service. If, for any reason, Dialpad believes that you are using the toll-free calling for a prohibited purpose and/or your call usage violates Dialpad’s Acceptable Use Policy, then Dialpad may, in its sole discretion, with or without notice, terminate your toll-free calling service.
INTERNATIONAL CALLING AND “LOCAL” INTERNATIONAL TELEPHONE NUMBERS
To make international calls using the Services, you must enable international calling in your settings and pre-purchase at least the minimum package of international calling credits necessary to make such international calls. Insufficient credits may cause your call to be terminated. Packages of international calling credits will diminish based on the rate defined per country and carrier. Our international calling rates are available at https://www.dialpad.com/rates/. In addition, you may be charged any applicable Taxes and Fees associated with international calls. You are solely responsible for the region and numbers you choose and any associated charges on your Account. Dialpad also offers some “local” international numbers for you to make and receive calls and texts. Rates, terms, Taxes and Fees associated with international inbound and outbound calling and texting services may vary based on the country and reseller agreement, if applicable. If, for any reason, Dialpad believes that you are using the Services for a prohibited purpose and/or your call usage violates Dialpad’s Acceptable Use Policy, then Dialpad may, in its sole discretion, with or without notice, terminate your service.
VALUE, OWNERSHIP, AND EXPIRATION OF CALLING CREDITS
Toll-free and international calling credits have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for the cash value or refunded at any time after such credits are purchased by you, including after the closure of your Account. Credits may only be redeemed and used by the holder or users of the associated account or “office” to which the credits have been credited, and may not be sold, transferred, assigned, or used by another user or with another user’s account or office. Any unused credits remain on your Account and "roll over" to the next billing period. Additional credits and promotional credits expire according to the terms of their purchase.
ACCOUNT OWNERSHIP
The Account owner shall be the legal entity (e.g., corporation, partnership, individual) that signs up for the Services with Dialpad. If no legal entity is provided upon sign-up, the Account owner shall be the owner of the credit card used to open the Account. Subsequent changes to ownership must be supported by appropriate legal documentation. Dialpad shall not adjudicate ownership-related disputes, or any other internal business dispute. If Dialpad is unable to determine the valid owner of the Account, Dialpad reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Account and Services.

Number Porting and Availability
Dialpad will use reasonable efforts to facilitate number transfers or port requests for you, provided that You comply with the necessary and specific procedures for porting between service providers. You acknowledge and understand that number porting depends on the cooperation of third parties outside of Dialpad’s control. Accordingly, you agree that Dialpad will not be liable for the failure or delay of any third party to cooperate in the porting of any telephone number, or for the allegedly unauthorized porting of any telephone number by a third party.
Dialpad works with third party carrier(s) who, on Dialpad’s behalf, port telephone numbers in accordance with applicable regulatory rules and industry guidelines. Dialpad’s third-party carrier(s) require very specific and detailed information and requirements when completing a port request. Please be informed that you will be required to provide such detailed and specific information to complete a port request. For porting numbers into your Dialpad account, follow the procedures on your account settings page for transferring a number to your Dialpad account. For porting numbers out of your Dialpad account, follow the procedures of your new service provider. You understand that porting your number out of your Account does not automatically terminate your Dialpad account.
Dialpad cannot guarantee requested telephone numbers will be available, that your existing provider will port your number, or that circumstances beyond Dialpad’s control will not prevent or delay a successful port of your number for the Services. You should not order any printed material, such as business cards or stationery, showing a telephone number, or issue any press releases or otherwise publicize any telephone number until that telephone number becomes active on your Account. Dialpad shall not be liable for reimbursement for press releases, business cards, and/or stationery under any conditions.
You understand and agree that Dialpad may from time to time need to change the telephone number assigned to you (due to an area code split or for any other reason). Dialpad shall not be liable for any damages (including consequential, special damages or other damages) to you in the event that it needs to assign you a new telephone number.
Dialpad 911 Service
FOR USERS OF DIALPAD FREE, ACCESS TO EMERGENCY SERVICES (911) IS NOT AVAILABLE. BY USING DIALPAD FREE SERVICES, INCLUDING PORTING YOUR EXISTING NUMBERS TO DIALPAD FREE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU SHOULD MAKE ALTERNATIVE ARRANGEMENTS TO REACH 911 AND THAT YOU WILL INFORM ALL BUSINESS COLLEAGUES, HOUSEHOLD RESIDENTS, GUESTS, AND OTHER PERSONS WHO MAY BE PRESENT AT YOUR PHYSICAL LOCATION THAT 911 IS UNAVAILABLE THROUGH DIALPAD FREE.
FOR SUBSCRIBERS OF DIALPAD PAID SERVICES, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT 911 SERVICE IS ONLY PROVIDED THROUGH THE DIALPAD DESKTOP APP OR THE DIALPAD SOFTPHONE DUE TO THE NATURE OF DIALPAD 911 SERVICE AND SERVICE PORTABILITY DISCUSSED BELOW, WE RECOMMEND YOU MAKE ALTERNATIVE ARRANGEMENTS TO PLACE 911 CALLS, SUCH AS USING A TRADITIONAL WIRELINE OR CELLULAR TELEPHONE, AND YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON DIALPAD TO CALL 911.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE DIALPAD MOBILE APPLICATION USES YOUR DEVICE’S DIALER AND CELLULAR TELEPHONE SERVICE TO MAKE 911 CALLS. IF YOUR DEVICE DOES NOT HAVE CELLULAR TELEPHONE SERVICE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CALL 911 FROM THE DIALPAD MOBILE APPLICATION. DIALPAD DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATING TO YOUR (OR ANY OF YOUR USERS OR THIRD PARTIES) INABILITY TO MAKE 911 CALLS OR ACCESS EMERGENCY SERVICES.
Dialpad VoIP 911 Service (“Dialpad 911 Service”) operates differently than traditional 911 service. We are required by the FCC to advise you of the circumstances under which 911 may not be available or may be in some way limited by comparison to traditional 911 service. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, Internet Connection Failure, Number Flexibility & Porting, and Loss of Electrical Power (as described below):
Internet connection failure. If the connection to the wired broadband internet over which your Dialpad Service is provided is interrupted, you would not have access to Dialpad Service during that interruption and therefore will not have access to Dialpad 911 Service during that interruption.
Number Flexibility & Service Portability. Traditional 911 service automatically sends your 911 call to the appropriate local emergency responder, or Public Safety Answering Point (“PSAP”), based on your telephone number. Traditional Enhanced 911 service (also known as E911) automatically sends your 911 call to the appropriate PSAP along with your registered address and telephone number. Because the Dialpad Service permits you to obtain a telephone number that does not correspond to your geographic location (for example, you may obtain a Dialpad telephone number with a California area code even if you do not have a California address) and allows you to use Dialpad Service anywhere you have wired broadband Internet, the Dialpad 911 Service functions differently than traditional 911 service in certain respects: Because your address does not necessarily correspond with your telephone number, you must provide Dialpad with the street address(es) where you will be using Dialpad Service (“Registered Location(s)”) when you sign up for Dialpad service. If you relocate any equipment (e.g., PC with softphone, IP phone, or ATA with traditional phone) that you use to access the Dialpad Service, you must update your Registered Location(s). If you do not update your Registered Location(s), any 911 calls you make using the Dialpad Service will be routed based on your previously provided Registered Location and therefore may not be routed to the appropriate PSAP for your new location. In addition, because the Dialpad Service will, where possible, automatically transmit your Registered Location to the PSAP, you must update your Registered Location to ensure that the Dialpad Service transmits accurate location information to the PSAP. Once you notify us of a change in your Registered Location, there may be a delay in making the new Registered Location available to properly route 911 calls and advise PSAPs of your new Registered Location. In some parts of the country where direct routing to PSAPs is not available for Dialpad 911 Service, the Service will route your call to the National Emergency Call Center where trained agents will ask for the name, location, and telephone number of the person calling 911 and will contact the appropriate PSAP to send help. The call center will not automatically receive your address and telephone number. In these situations, public safety response times may be delayed. As a result, there may be an additional delay before emergency services arrive.
Loss of Electrical Power. Unless you have a backup system to power your wired broadband Internet connection and any equipment (PC with softphone, IP phone, ATA with traditional phone) that You use to access your Dialpad Service, you will not have phone service or 911 service during any power outage.
Registration of Physical Locations Required. As discussed above, you must register the Registered Location where you will be using Dialpad Service for each phone line you use from Dialpad (e.g., if you purchase Dialpad with three lines, you must provide a Registered Location for each of the three lines). Dialpad will obtain your Registered Location as part of the service initiation process and will not provide Dialpad Service until you have provided your initial Registered Location. However, you must update your Registered Location when you use your Dialpad Service from a new location. Regardless of what address you register, in some circumstances, such as unavailability of direct routing to PSAPs or the use of portable devices to access the Dialpad Service, emergency calls will be routed to the National Emergency Call Center.
You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete Registered Location information to Dialpad as part of the service initiation process and to update as soon as possible your Registered Location with true, accurate, current, and complete information whenever you use your Dialpad Service from a new location. If you provide Registered Location information that is, or that Dialpad suspects to be, false, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, Dialpad has the right to suspend or terminate the Services and refuse any and all current or future use of all Services, or any portion thereof. Dialpad will not, however, disable your ability to make a 911 call during any service suspension.
You may update your Registered Location by logging on to your account settings page or contacting Dialpad customer support at [email protected]. For purposes of 911 dialing, you may only register one Registered Location for each Dialpad line.
Notify All Users of 911 Limitations. You must inform all business colleagues, household residents, guests, and other persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize the Dialpad Service that 911 may not be available or may be in some way limited in comparison to traditional 911 service. For subscribers to whom E911 service is provided as part of their Dialpad Services, stickers may be sent with warning that “E911 Service May Be Limited or Not Available” for use with any equipment purchased from Dialpad. It is your responsibility to place these stickers on the equipment you use to access Dialpad Service. If you have not received a sticker, or you require additional 911 stickers, please contact customer support at [email protected].
Disclaimer of 911 Liability. Dialpad disclaims all responsibility for the conduct of PSAPs, the National Emergency Call Center, and all other third parties involved in the provision of emergency response services. Dialpad does not have any control over PSAPs, the National Emergency Call Center, or other third parties and is therefore not responsible for whether they answer 911 calls made using the Dialpad Service, how they answer these calls, or how they handle or respond to these calls. Dialpad relies on third parties to assist it in the provision of 911 service and disclaims any and all liability for acts or omissions by third parties in the provision of Dialpad’s 911 service. Dialpad expressly disclaims all liability with respect to your use of the E911 service. You hereby agree to fully, finally, and forever release, discharge, hold harmless, and fully indemnify Dialpad from and against any damages or liabilities of any kind related to your use of the E911 services.
Operator Assisted Calling, 311, 511, and Other X11 Calling
The Service does not support 0+ or operator assisted calling (including, without limitation, collect calls, third party billing calls, 900, or calling card calls). The Service may not support 311, 411, 511, and/or other X11 calling (other than 911 and 711 as specified in this Agreement) in one or more service areas.
Fraudulent Activity or Erroneous Changes
In the event of suspected fraudulent activity or erroneous charges on your Account, you agree to contact Dialpad as soon as possible. In many cases, Dialpad can mitigate or correct fraudulent activity or erroneous charges without bank or credit card company intervention. If you suspect fraudulent activity or erroneous charges on your Dialpad account, please contact Dialpad customer support at [email protected]. When you contact customer support, please have the following information available: (a) your name, contact information, the Dialpad account telephone number in question, and security verification information; (b) the credit card account number associated with the account; and (c) the total amount in question charged to the account. If you do not contact Dialpad within thirty (30) days after the suspected fraudulent activity or erroneous charges appear on your Account, you waive your rights to object to or challenge such activity or charges. Furthermore, if you request that your bank or credit card company perform a chargeback without first contacting Dialpad, and Dialpad subsequently determines that the charges at issue are not erroneous, Dialpad reserves the right to terminate your account immediately and take any available legal action. Notwithstanding the above, you are solely liable for any transactions or activities by you or anyone else that occur on your Account, and in no event shall Dialpad be liable for any unauthorized use of your Account.
AUP Breach
In the event that you breach any of the terms of this AUP, Dialpad retains the right to suspend or terminate Customer’s use of the Dialpad Services (including Dialpad Ai Meetings) upon written notice to you.

If you opt-in to receive text messages from Dialpad for multi factor authentication (MFA), any opt-in data is not shared or sold to third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes. Messages will only come from Dialpad., MFA message frequency will vary and message & data rates may apply. Replying to an MFA message with STOP will disable MFA text messages. Learn more about MFA messaging on our Help Center.
Dialpad Ai Training
Dialpad’s Ai features are uniquely useful because they are based on real business conversations by real Dialpad users. By allowing Dialpad Ai to learn from your conversations, such as segments of call audio, video, transcriptions, and messaging, you can help us improve communication through enhanced call quality, more accurate transcriptions, and real-time insights. Allowing your data to be used to improve Dialpad Ai is not necessary for using AI features, and you may set your Ai training preferences at any time.
Automated Decision Making
Dialpad does not use Personal Data to make automated decisions.
What is “Legal Basis”?
When we process Personal Data about you in connection with our Services, our legal basis for processing depends on the Personal Data involved and the specific context in which we collect it.
Generally, we collect Personal Data from you to perform a contract for you (such as when you order a Service), or where the processing is in our legitimate interests (i.e. consistent with your use of the Service and overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, such as to market and provide our Services). We may also have a legal obligation to process Personal Data, or request your consent to do so. You may withdraw your consent at any time as explained in communications from us, in the Services, or by contacting us at [email protected].
Data Subject Rights
You have various rights related to the Personal Data we process and may exercise those rights by utilizing our Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) Portal. Following the submission of your request, Dialpad will verify your identity and respond to you within 30 days of the receipt of the request. When you update information, we may maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records.
If you have a concern about our privacy practices, you can report it to the data protection authority that is authorized to hear those concerns, but we hope you will contact us first so that we may address any issues.
Below is a summary of rights for those individuals subject to the GDPR and guidance on how to exercise them:
Right of Access
You can request access to the Personal Data we hold about you, including:
The categories of data we process
The purposes of the data processing
The period during which we retain that data
Third parties to which we disclose that data
Upon request, we can either provide an overview of the data we hold or we can provide you with a copy of your Personal Data
Right to Rectification
If your Personal Data is inaccurate or incomplete, you are entitled to ask that we correct or complete it. If we shared your Personal Data with others, we will tell them about the correction where possible. If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your Personal Data so you can contact them directly.
Right to Erasure
You may ask us to erase your Personal Data in the following circumstances:
in case your Personal Data is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected;
if you have withdrawn your consent and there is no other legal basis for the processing of your Personal Data;
if you have filed an objection to our processing of certain of your Personal Data and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for continued processing such Personal Data;
if your Personal Data is being processed unlawfully;
if your Personal Data must be deleted to fulfill a legal obligation.
If we share your Personal Data with others, we will alert them to the need for erasure where possible. If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your Personal Data with so you can contact them directly.
Right to Restrict Processing
You may ask us to restrict or ‘block’ the processing of your Personal Data in the following circumstances:
we processed or will process inaccurate Personal Data
we processed your Personal Data unlawfully
we don't need to process your Personal Data, but we need to keep it to allow you to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim
you exercised your right to object processing, but we are still validating your request
We will tell you before we lift any restrictions on processing. If we share your Personal Data with others, we will tell them about the restriction where possible. If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your Personal Data so you can contact them directly.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to obtain your Personal Data from us that you consented to give us or that was provided to us as necessary in connection with our contract with you where we process that Personal Data in an automated way. We will give you your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You may reuse it elsewhere.
Right to Object
You may ask us at any time to stop processing your Personal Data, and we will do so if we are relying on a legitimate interest to process your Personal Data — unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing.
If your objection is related to receiving marketing communications or our newsletter, please hit the unsubscribe link on the communication you no longer wish to receive.
Rights in Relation to Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
You have the right to be free from decisions based solely on automated processing of your Personal Data, including profiling, unless this is necessary in relation to a contract between you and us or you provide your explicit consent to this use. Dialpad does not perform automated decision-making.
Right to Withdraw Consent
If we rely on your consent to process your Personal Data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, but this will not affect any processing of your data that has already taken place.
Through your account settings, you may access, and, for some information, edit, or delete the following information you’ve provided to us:
name and password
email address
phone number(s)
location
time zone
place of employment
devices
recorded/transcribed messages and calls
call history including incoming/outgoing number and duration
user profile information, including images you have uploaded
billing information
contacts
other third-party account information you have linked to the site
To delete your accounts, please follow the instructions on How to Cancel Your Dialpad Account. After the deletion of your account, some information may remain in our records for a period that is consistent with the purpose it was collected for.
How We Keep Your Data Secure
Compliance
Dialpad strives to comply with the controls set out in Applicable Data Protection Laws.
Infrastructure Security
Dialpad has implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data, including:
Data encryption in transit and at rest
SOC 2 Type II Certification
Certification under ISO Standards 27001, 27017, and 27018
Internal Best Practices

Internal security and privacy training
A description of our data security practices is available on our Trust page and such security guarantees are incorporated into our Data Processing Agreement (which is available for signature within the Admin Portal of existing customers).
Personal Data Disclosures
To provide, maintain, improve, secure, and promote our Services, Dialpad needs to disclose certain Personal Data to third parties. We do not license or sell your Personal Data to third parties, including advertisers, without your consent. As described below, when we share any information about you with third parties, we pseudonymize and aggregate any information about you before we share it unless more detail is necessary to the function of the Services. Although our Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies we don’t own or people that we don’t manage, our Data Processing Agreements define how these third parties can use and store your information, consistent with this Privacy Policy.
This section provides further details about the specific disclosures we make to other third parties, such as vendors, governmental authorities, or because of corporate restructuring.
Sub-Processors (Processors)
Certain Personal Data may be disclosed to our vendors who are essential for the functioning of the Services. Vendors that have access to Personal Data are considered sub-processors and nearly all our sub-processors are categorized by law as processors. This means that these sub-processors may process Personal Data on our behalf solely in accordance with our instructions and pursuant to a written agreement. For example, we use suppliers for webhosting, secure cloud storage, analytics, email delivery, customer relationship management, and other services.
Disclosure of Personal Data to these sub-processors is limited to what is strictly required for the sub-processor to perform the service it provides.
These disclosures of Personal Data are either necessary for the purpose of performing our contract with you or necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests (that are to provide, maintain, improve, secure, and promote our Services).
We only disclose Personal Data to sub-processors in accordance with a written contract and based upon a legal basis.
Our sub-processors may change over time, but Dialpad maintains an up-to-date list of sub-processors here
Sub-Processors (Controllers)
In a few rare circumstances, our sub-processors may act as an independent controller of Personal Data. This means that these sub-processors process Personal Data in accordance with their own privacy policies; however, our contracts with such sub-processors require them to comply with applicable data protection laws when processing any Personal Data they receive from us.
Disclosure of Personal Data to these sub-processors is limited to what is strictly required for the sub-processor to perform the service it provides.
These disclosures of Personal Data are either necessary for the purpose of performing our contract with you or necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests (that are to provide, maintain, improve, secure, and promote our Services).
We only disclose Personal Data to sub-processors in accordance with a written contract and based upon a legal basis.
Our sub-processors may change over time, but Dialpad maintains an up-to-date list of sub-processors here.
Governmental Authorities
Various authorities such as regulators, tax authorities, law enforcement agencies, courts of law, and others may legally require us to produce information that may include Personal Data, for example through a subpoena or warrant. If Dialpad becomes aware of any government data demands requesting Personal Data, then Dialpad, in accordance with its Government Data Demands Policy, will:
immediately notify Customer of the government data demand unless such notification is legally prohibited;
Take all reasonable steps to ensure the validity and enforceability of any governmental data demand;
disclose Personal Data only in response to a valid and enforceable government data demand; and
to the extent Dialpad provides access to or discloses Personal Data in response to valid and enforceable government data demand, then Dialpad will disclose the minimum amount of Personal Data to the extent it is legally required to do so and in accordance with the applicable legal process.
We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any personal information that we believe is necessary to comply with the law; to respond to lawful requests by public authorities, a court order or subpoena; to enforce or apply our Terms of Service and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Dialpad, our employees, our users, or others, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. In such cases, unless prohibited by law, we will provide notification to the user prior to such disclosure.
More information may be found on our Governmental Data Demand Page.
Corporate Restructuring
If we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Data could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.
Further Information
We would be happy to address any specific questions you may have about your Personal Data. This Privacy Policy is intended to provide as much relevant information as possible; however, if you need more specific information, please contact us at [email protected].
Disclosure With Your Consent
Where we are processing your information as a processor on behalf of a Customer, the Customer determines their own policies and practices for the sharing and disclosure of your information and Dialpad does not control how a Customer or any other third parties choose to share or disclose information. Where we are processing your information on our own behalf as a controller, we may disclose your information with your consent, which we may obtain in several ways, including:
In writing;
Verbally;
Online, by clicking on a link or button; or,
Other mechanisms.
Our Services permit you to submit information which may be displayed to other authorized users in the same or different Customer Account. The sharing and other controls applied to such information may be determined by you, other users and/or an administrator of your Account.
Disclosure Without Your Consent
In general, we may disclose or transfer your information without your consent to disclosure when we reasonably believe disclosure is appropriate to:
Comply with the law (e.g., lawful subpoena or court order);
Cooperate with or report to law enforcement agencies in investigations that involve users who use our Service Offerings for activities that are or seem illegal or illegitimate activities;
Enforce or apply agreements for our Service Offerings; or
Protect our rights or property or that of our affiliates, including respective officers, directors, employees, agents, third party content providers, suppliers, sponsors, or licensors (e.g., to address allegations about fraudulent or unlawful activity related to a Miro account).
In connection with a merger, acquisition, public offering, sale of company assets, insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, subject to standard confidentiality requirements.
To defend Dialpad and our affiliates, licensors, officers, agents and representatives from legal claims and processes brought to us by third parties (including takedown notices);
Use or disclose De-identified Personal Data in our sole discretion.
International Data Transfers
Dialpad operates at a global level and therefore Personal Data may need to be transferred to countries outside of where it was originally collected. In such a case, Dialpad only makes such cross-border transfers according to applicable laws. For example, to transfer data outside of the EEA or the UK, our Data Processing Agreement (which is available for signature within the Admin Portal of existing customers) incorporates the EU and UK Standard Contractual Clauses and supporting documents, as applicable, or other inter-company agreements. For transfers out of other jurisdictions operating transfer restriction regimes, we take similar steps to ensure compliance with local law.
Data Retention
In accordance with applicable data protection laws, we do not store your Personal Data for longer than needed for the purposes of the respective processing activity.
Dialpad, by default, will retain your data for as long as your account is active. Upon closure of your account, Dialpad will automatically delete your data within 180 days of account termination. You always have the right to implement a customizable retention policy that will delete data routinely based on your specific retention requests. For more information on how to set up a customizable retention policy, please visit our Help Center.
This retention policy ensures that Dialpad is completely deleting your data if it is no longer needed, unless its further temporary storage is still necessary to:
fulfill Dialpad’s obligations pursuant to the agreement between Dialpad and you;
establish, exercise, and defend a legal claim; or
fulfil statutory obligations to which Dialpad is subject.
For more detailed information about the retention periods of the Personal Data, please contact us at [email protected].

Copyright Dispute Policy
In accordance with the DMCA, we’ve adopted this Copyright Dispute Policy. We reserve the right to (1) block access to or remove material that we believe in good faith to be copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of our advertisers, affiliates, content providers, members or users and/or (2) remove and discontinue service to repeat offenders. Your use of Dialpad’s Services is at all times subject to the Terms of Service, which incorporates this Copyright Dispute Policy. Any terms we use in this Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Service.
Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringements. If you believe that material or content residing on or accessible through the Services infringes your copyright (or the copyright of someone whom you are authorized to act on behalf of), please send a notice of copyright infringement containing the following information to Dialpad’s Designated Agent (contact details are listed below):
A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed;
Identification of works or materials being infringed;
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing including information regarding the location of the infringing materials that the copyright owner seeks to have removed, with sufficient detail so that Dialpad is capable of finding and verifying its existence;
Contact information about the notifier including address, telephone number, and email address;
A statement that the notifier has a good faith belief that the identified infringing material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate and the notifying party is authorized to make the complaint on behalf of the copyright owner.
Procedure Following Dialpad’s Receipt of Bona Fide Infringement Notification. Upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement, we reserve the right to:
Remove or disable access to the infringing material;
Notify the content provider who is accused of infringement that we have removed or disabled access to the applicable material; and
Terminate such content provider's access to the Services if a repeat offender or as otherwise deemed appropriate in our sole discretion.
Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent. If the content provider believes that the material that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing (or otherwise has a bona fide right to post and use such material from the copyright owner) the content provider may send our Designated Agent a counter-notice containing the following information:
A physical or electronic signature of the content provider;
Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
A statement that the content provider has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material; and
Content provider's name, address, telephone number, and email address; and
A statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the content provider’s address is located (or if the content provider's address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Dialpad is located), and acknowledgement that such person or entity will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by our Designated Agent, Dialpad may, in its discretion, send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that Dialpad may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider accused of committing infringement, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Dialpad's discretion.

Dialpad API Terms of Service
These API Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Dialpad’s APIs. By accessing or using our APIs, you are agreeing to the Terms below. If there is a conflict between these Terms and additional terms applicable to a given API, the additional terms will control for that conflict.
Under the Terms, "Dialpad" means Dialpad, Inc., located at 2700 Camino Ramon Suite 490 San Ramon, CA 94583. In addition, Dialpad has subsidiaries and affiliated legal entities. These companies may provide the APIs to you on behalf of Dialpad and the Terms will also govern your relationship with these companies.
1. Acceptance of Terms
a. You may accept the Terms and use the APIs only if (a) you are of legal age to form a binding contract with Dialpad. If you are using the APIs on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to the Terms and by accepting the Terms, you are doing so on behalf of that entity.
b. In order to access certain APIs you may be required to provide information as part of the registration process. Any registration information you give to Dialpad should always be accurate and kept up to date.
2. Using the APIs
a. You will comply (and will require your end users to comply) with all applicable laws, regulations, and third party rights (including, without limitation, laws regarding the import or export of data or software, privacy, and local laws). You will not violate any other terms of service with Dialpad (or its affiliates).
b. You will only access (or attempt to access) an API by the means described in the documentation of that API. If Dialpad assigns you developer credentials, you must use them with the applicable APIs. You will not misrepresent or hide either your identity or your API Client's identity when using the APIs or developer accounts.
c. Dialpad sets and enforces limits on your use of the APIs (including limiting the number of API requests that you may make or the number of users you may serve), in its sole discretion. You agree to, and will not attempt to circumvent, such limitations. If you would like to use an API beyond these limits, you must obtain Dialpad's express consent. To seek such consent, contact the relevant Dialpad API team for information.
d. Some of the software required by or included in our APIs may be offered under an open source license. Open source software licenses constitute separate written agreements. For certain APIs, open source software is listed in the documentation. To the limited extent the open source software license expressly supersedes the Terms, the open source license instead sets forth your agreement with Dialpad for the applicable open source software.
e. We may send you certain communications in connection with your use of the APIs. Please review the applicable API documentation for information about opting out of certain types of communication. If you provide feedback or suggestions about our APIs, then we (and those we allow) may use such information without obligation to you.
f. The Terms are non-exclusive. You acknowledge that Dialpad may develop products or services that may compete with your API Clients or any other products or services.
g. To the extent required by data protection laws applicable to the parties' processing of personal data under these Terms, the parties agree to the Dialpad Data Processing Agreement, as described in Dialpad’s Privacy Policy.
3. Prohibitions
When using the APIs, you may not (or allow those acting on your behalf to):
a. Sublicense an API for use by a third party. Consequently, you will not create an API Client that functions substantially the same as the APIs and offer it for use by third parties.
b. Perform an action with the intent of introducing to Dialpad products and services any viruses, worms, defects, Trojan horses, malware, or any items of a destructive nature.
c. Defame, abuse, harass, stalk, or threaten others.
d. Interfere with or disrupt the APIs or the servers or networks providing the APIs.
e. Promote or facilitate unlawful online gambling or disruptive commercial messages or advertisements.
f. Reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code from any API or any related software, except to the extent that this restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law.
g. Use the APIs for any activities where the use or failure of the APIs could lead to death, personal injury, or environmental damage (such as the operation of nuclear facilities, air traffic control, or life support systems).
h. Use the APIs to process or store any data that is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations maintained by the U.S. Department of State.
i. Remove, obscure, or alter any Dialpad terms of service or any links to or notices of those terms.
j. Encourage or promote illegal activity or violation of third party rights
4. Termination
a. You may stop using our APIs at any time with or without notice. If you want to terminate the Terms, you must provide Dialpad with prior written notice and upon termination, cease your use of the applicable APIs. Dialpad reserves the right to terminate the Terms with you or discontinue the APIs or any portion or feature or your access thereto, for any reason and at any time, without liability or other obligation to you.
b. Upon any termination of the Terms or discontinuation of your access to an API, you will immediately stop using the API, cease all use of Dialpad Brand Features, and delete any cached or stored content. Dialpad may independently communicate with any account owner whose account(s) are associated with your API Client and developer credentials to provide notice of the termination of your right to use an API.
c. When the Terms come to an end, those terms that by their nature are intended to continue indefinitely will continue to apply, including but not limited to: Sections 4b, 5, 8, 9, and 10.
5. Your API clients
a. The APIs are designed to help you enhance your websites and applications ("API Client(s)"). YOU AGREE THAT DIALPAD MAY MONITOR USE OF THE APIS TO ENSURE QUALITY, IMPROVE DIALPAD PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND VERIFY YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS. This monitoring may include Dialpad accessing and using your API Client, for example to identify security issues that could affect Dialpad or its users. You will not interfere with this monitoring. Dialpad may use any technical means to overcome such interference. Dialpad may suspend access to the APIs by you or your API Client without notice if we reasonably believe that you are in violation of the Terms.
b. You will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect user information collected by your API Client, including personal data, from unauthorized access or use and will promptly report to your users any unauthorized access or use of such information to the extent required by applicable law.
c. Dialpad does not acquire ownership in your API Clients, and by using our APIs, you do not acquire ownership of any rights in our APIs or the content that is accessed through our APIs.
6. User privacy and API clients
a. You will comply with (1) all applicable privacy laws and regulations including those applying to personal data and (2) the Dialpad Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement, which governs your use of the APIs when you request access to Dialpad user information. You will provide and adhere to a privacy policy for your API Client that clearly and accurately describes to users of your API Client what user information you collect and how you use and share such information (including for advertising) with Dialpad and third parties.
b. Unless otherwise specified in writing by Dialpad, Dialpad does not intend use of the APIs to create obligations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as amended ("HIPAA"), and makes no representations that the APIs satisfy HIPAA requirements. If you are (or become) a "covered entity" or "business associate" as defined in HIPAA, you will not use the APIs for any purpose or in any manner involving transmitting protected health information to Dialpad unless you have received prior written consent to such use from Dialpad.
7. Confidentiality
a. Developer credentials (such as passwords, keys, and client IDs) are intended to be used by you and identify your API Client. You will keep your credentials confidential and make reasonable efforts to prevent and discourage other API Clients from using your credentials. Developer credentials may not be embedded in open source projects.
b. Our communications to you and our APIs may contain Dialpad confidential information. Dialpad confidential information includes any materials, communications, and information that are marked confidential or that would normally be considered confidential under the circumstances. If you receive any such information, then you may not disclose it to any third party without Dialpad's prior written consent. Dialpad confidential information does not include information that you independently developed, that was rightfully given to you by a third party without confidentiality obligation, or that becomes public through no fault of your own. You may disclose Dialpad confidential information when compelled to do so by law if you provide us reasonable prior notice, unless a court orders that we not receive notice.
8. Content
a. Our APIs may contain third party content (such as text, images, videos, audio, or software). This content is the sole responsibility of the person that makes it available. We may sometimes review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our policies or the Terms, and we may remove or refuse to display content. Content accessible through our APIs may be subject to intellectual property rights, and, if so, you may not use it unless you are licensed to do so by the owner of that content or are otherwise permitted by law. Your access to the content provided by the API may be restricted, limited, or filtered in accordance with applicable law, regulation, and policy.
b. Some of our APIs allow the submission of content. Dialpad does not acquire any ownership of any intellectual property rights in the content that you submit to our APIs through your API Client, except as expressly provided in the Terms.
c. For the sole purpose of enabling Dialpad to provide, secure, and improve the APIs (and the related service(s)) and only in accordance with the applicable Dialpad privacy policies, you give Dialpad a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to Use content submitted, posted, or displayed to or from the APIs through your API Client. "Use" means use, host, store, modify, communicate, and publish. Before you submit content to our APIs through your API Client, you will ensure that you have the necessary rights (including the necessary rights from your end users) to grant us the license.
d. When a user's non-public content is obtained through the APIs, you may not expose that content to other users or to third parties without explicit opt-in consent from that user.
e. Dialpad supports data portability. For as long as you use or store any user data that you obtained through the APIs, you agree to enable your users to export their equivalent data to other services or applications of their choice in a way that's substantially as fast and easy as exporting such data from Dialpad products and services, subject to applicable laws, and you agree that you will not make that data available to third parties who do not also abide by this obligation.
d. Unless expressly permitted by the content owner or by applicable law, you will not, and will not permit your end users or others acting on your behalf to, do the following with content returned from the APIs:
Scrape, build databases, or otherwise create permanent copies of such content, or keep cached copies longer than permitted by the cache header;
Copy, translate, modify, create a derivative work of, sell, lease, lend, convey, distribute, publicly display, or sublicense to any third party;
Misrepresent the source or ownership; or
Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices; or falsify or delete any author attributions, legal notices, or other labels of the origin or source of material.
9. Brand features; Attribution
a. "Brand Features" is defined as the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features of each party. Except where expressly stated, the Terms do not grant either party any right, title, or interest in or to the other party's Brand Features. All use by you of Dialpad's Brand Features (including any goodwill associated therewith) inures to the benefit of Dialpad.
b. Dialpad hereby grants to you a nontransferable, nonsublicenseable, nonexclusive license while the Terms are in effect to display Dialpad's Brand Features for the purpose of promoting or advertising that you use the APIs. You must only use the Dialpad Brand Features in accordance with the Terms and for the purpose of fulfilling your obligations under this Section.
c. You will not make any statement regarding your use of an API that suggests partnership with, sponsorship by, or endorsement by Dialpad without Dialpad's prior written approval.

In the course of promoting, marketing, or demonstrating the APIs you are using and the associated Dialpad products, Dialpad may produce and distribute incidental depictions, including screenshots, video, or other content from your API Client, and may use your company or product name. You grant us all necessary rights for the above purposes.
10. Privacy and copyright protection
a. By using our APIs, Dialpad may use submitted information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
b. We provide information to help copyright holders manage their intellectual property online, but we can't determine whether something is being used legally or not without their input. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement and terminate accounts of repeat infringers according to the process set out in the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you think somebody is violating your copyrights and want to notify us, you can find information about submitting notices and Dialpad's policy about responding to notices in our Help Center.

Changes will not apply retroactively and will become effective no sooner than 30 days after they are posted. But changes addressing new functions for an API or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If you do not agree to the modified Terms for an API, you should discontinue your use of that API. Your continued use of the API constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.
