Is Vonage support allowed to look at user call records?

Vonage webpages let me see almost instantly who I just called. But is Vonage customer service allowed to look at my call records, or are there regulations or privacy considerations to influence that?

who honestly cares. if anybody wants to know who i'm talking to, just call me up and ask.

i just called my mom.

and seriously, if you don't want vonage support looking at your call records, don't call them. trust me, somebody at your local POTS is just as able to see your current records

....and listen to calls too, no doubt. Laws to the contrary notwithstanding.

And how about if your call data was used in some manner that invaded your privacy? Like calling you a mama's boy for all those conversations to your mother? Or to a doctor for some condition you'd rather not have shared? Sold to a catalog company bent on sending you junk mail for it? Seriously, think about how 'data' such as that can be used against someone, especially when taken out of context. Would you want your boss, on seeing your frequent calls to your mother, to start making decisions about your work because of it? Would you want someone looking at your mothers records and using them to perperate some scam on her?

There's a big difference between calling someone up and asking and slicing and dicing their call data records. You can refuse to answer when asked, as most folks would, but how would you untangle the database-driven errors that would crop up from your call records?

What actual carriers are required to do or not do is dictated by regulations. That they CAN see the data isn't a surprise, what they're bound by law against doing with it is another matter.

I am tottaly behind you on privacy. What if you become a suspect in some sort of crime. and you are tottaly innocent and you calls innocent as they may be are tooken wrong. If OJ simpson can get off and Bush can become presedent then dam it there is something wrong.

there is no need for a operator to really have this information. they could have limited information and still do there job fine.

You leave your doors locked or open expect to be robbed you take any effort at all to avoid problems do it. next time you are in radio shack refuse to give your information. they will not stop you from buying. I do it all the time. They will use it agist you later.

you call alot out of state expect a slew of calls to sell you longdistance. buy alot of on sale items expect calls on itesm they want to clear out. or like I hear big walmart type big box stores are rf tag doing. where if you just buy items on sale they will eventualy not spend any energy on you anymore treat you diffrently. scary but thous pants you bought at walmart are giving off a number and the saver card in your wallet screams your identy where ever you go and there is a rf reader.

Bye bye privacy.

Hellow controled jail police state.

where you going , why, how long, can I see your papers please.

Two words "spell check"

There's your problem; you're getting your information from the movies. It is the job of the NSA, not the CIA, to perform such monitoring.

Along the lines of privacy...

I admit, there is something I like about conspiracy theories and such. One idea I had was that IP phone services like Vonage could be tracking the digitized voices and using voice recognition to pick up on keywords, then saving that call for the feds. I also realize that our standard phone calls (non VOIP) are probably also digitized at some point and could also be searched for keywords, but since I started using VOIP I came up with this idea.

I am not saying this is done, this is just an idea the occurred to me one day.

I stand corrected! - )

Unfortunately, no. Ive got 3 young boys, and I just can't make it out to the movies anymore. Its rentals or wait for HBO for me.
