Remote Control. As part of some of
our Services, you may participate in a technical support session with one of
our trained technical support agents. During such Service session, you may have
the option to grant one of our technical support agents access to your computer
screen or what’s referred to as the “Remote Control” functionality – this
allows our technical support agents to see your computer screen and manually
operate your computer device remotely. The technical support agent must first
have your permission to launch and, if applicable to your version of the
Services, record your Remote-Control session. You will see a screen appear on
your desktop asking you to accept or decline the technical support agent’s
request to remotely access and control your computer device. If you accept the
request, your Remote-Control session will begin. To end the Remote-Control
session, you may click the red X or the “End Session” button on the available
toolbar. If you are using a version of our Services that does not have the
record feature, then no recording of the Remote-Control Session will be made.
If you are using a version of our technical support services that does have the
record feature enabled, a recording of all on-screen activity during your Remote-Control
session will stored in your account file. We do not sell or provide recordings
of Remote-Control sessions or related information to any third party for any
reason.
SeeSupport. SeeSupport’s
functionality is similar to that of Remote Control, only instead of your
computer device, the SeeSupport App allows one of our trained technical support
agents to access and operate your cellular device when you access our Services
through the SeeSupport App. During some of our Services, you may have the
option to grant one of our technical support agents access to your cellular
device screen– this allows our technical support agents to see your cellular
device screen and manually operate your cellular device. The technical support
agent must first have permission to launch and, if applicable to your version
of the Services, to record your SeeSupport session. You will see a screen
appear on your cellular device asking you accept or decline the technical support
agent’s request to remotely access and control your cellular device. If you
accept the request, your SeeSupport App session begins. To end your SeeSupport
session, you may click the red X or the “End Session” button on your cellular
phone screen. If you are using a version of our Services that does not have the
record feature, then no recording of your SeeSupport session will be made. If
you are using a version of our Services that has the record feature enabled, a
recording of all on-screen activity during your SeeSupport session is made and
stored in your account file. We do not sell or provide SeeSupport recordings or
related information to any third party for any reason.
MMS Functionality. As part of some of
our Services, you may participate in a technical support session with one of
our trained technical support agents over the phone. Instead of opting into the
use of the SeeSupport (as described above), you have the option of taking an
image with your cellular device camera and texting (“MMS Functionality”) that
image to the technical support agent assigned to assist you with your technical
issue. In such instances, the technical support agent will ask your permission
in advance to send an MMS message to your cellular device using an auto-generated
phone number. If you provide your acceptance, you will be able to respond to
the initial MMS message with an image depicting your technical support query
and receive a response via MMS message on how to fix your technical issue from
one of our support agents. If the MMS functionality in enabled in the version
of the Services you are using, all MMS images are stored in your account file.
We do not sell or provide stored MMS images or related information to any third
party for any reason.
Instant Chat. As part of some of our Services, you may participate in a technical support session with one of our trained technical support agents. During such Services, the Instant Chat feature allows a technical support agent to engage in a two-way chat session with you without requiring you to download any software. The technical support agent must first have permission to launch and, if applicable to your version of the Services, record an Instant Chat session. Instant Chat is a feature that is available as part of the Services offered through our App and through your computer device via our website. Instant Chat allows Users to chat with the technical support agents about their technical issues, view their detailed session log, allow or deny a technical support agent the right to perform certain actions (e.g., SeeSupport, Remote Control) and end a session by clicking the “X” at the top left of the chat screen or the “End Session” button. If you are using a version of our Services that has the record feature enabled, a record of your Instant Chat messages is made and stored in your account file. We do not sell or provide stored Instant Chat sessions data or related information to any third party for any reason.
