privacy

[Turner Noa]

Hi everyone, I’m comparing a couple of free fax apps for occasional personal use. My main concern is privacy. Are there specific red flags I should watch out for in the app’s terms of service?

Hello! Absolutely, there are a few big red flags. Watch out for terms that say the service may retain or analyze your documents, share aggregated” data with partners, or use your files to improve services. These often mean your data could be stored longer than you expect or even shared without your explicit consent.

Also, check if they mention encryption — both for storage and transmission. If it’s missing or vague, that’s a warning sign. I’d suggest visiting https://liveballot.com/, where you’ll find a list of specific risks and examples from real-world cases of free fax apps mishandling data.
