Last updated March 20, 2026
1. Introduction and Scope
CloudPBX Inc. (d.b.a. Corvum) (“Corvum,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides cloud-based Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Cloud PBX communications services to law firms and legal professionals in Canada and the United States (“Services”). We are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information in a manner consistent with the highest professional standards.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you use our Services, visit our website at corvum.io, or otherwise interact with us. It applies to all customers, users, and individuals whose personal information we process in connection with our Services, regardless of whether they are located in Canada or the United States.
Given that our customers are law firms, we understand that communications processed through our platform may involve solicitor-client privileged information. We have designed our systems and practices with this sensitivity in mind.
2. Legal Framework and Compliance
Corvum operates in accordance with applicable privacy legislation in the jurisdictions where we and our customers operate. Our compliance framework covers both Canadian and U.S. law, including:
Where our customers’ law firms serve clients in other jurisdictions, our contractual data processing terms address applicable cross-border obligations. Corvum acts as a service provider (U.S.) / data processor (Canada) under applicable privacy laws; our U.S. law firm customers remain the controllers / businesses responsible for their own compliance obligations to their employees and clients.
3. Information We Collect
3.1 Account and Registration Information
When you register for our Services, we collect information necessary to establish and manage your account, including:
3.2 Communications Data
In providing VoIP and Cloud PBX services, we necessarily process certain communications-related data, including:
Important: Corvum does not listen to, review, or use the content of your voice communications except where you have specifically provided permission to do so, or as compelled by lawful authority. The content of calls is not used for advertising or commercial profiling purposes.
3.3 Technical and Device Data
We automatically collect certain technical data when you use our Services or infrastructure, including:
3.4 Support and Communications Data
When you contact our support team or communicate with us, we collect:
3.5 Information We Do Not Collect
We do not intentionally collect or process:
4. How We Use Personal Information
We use personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected or as otherwise permitted by law. Our primary purposes include:
4.1 Service Delivery
4.2 Account and Billing Management
4.3 Customer Support
4.4 Security and Fraud Prevention
4.5 Service Improvement
4.6 Legal Compliance
We do not sell personal information. We do not use personal information to serve third-party advertising.
5. Disclosure of Personal Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We may disclose personal information in the following limited circumstances:
5.1 Service Providers and Sub-Processors
We engage trusted third-party service providers who process personal information on our behalf under contractual obligations consistent with this Policy. These include:
We require all service providers to maintain appropriate data security and to use personal information only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
5.2 Legal and Regulatory Requirements
We may disclose personal information when required to do so by law, including:
Where permitted by law, we will notify affected customers of compelled disclosures. For U.S. law enforcement and government access requests, including under the ECPA, Stored Communications Act, and CALEA, see Section 10.5.
5.3 Business Transactions
In the event of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or other corporate transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the receiving party assuming equivalent privacy obligations. We will notify customers of any material change in ownership or control that affects how their information is handled.
5.4 With Your Consent
We may disclose personal information for other purposes with your express consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
6. Data Security
Corvum implements administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold, including:
No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. In the event of a data breach involving personal information, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required under applicable law, including: (a) within the timeframes prescribed by PIPEDA and applicable Canadian provincial laws; and (b) in the case of U.S. customers, within the timeframes required by applicable U.S. state breach notification laws, which vary by state but generally require notification within 30 to 90 days of discovery. CloudPBX Inc. (d.b.a. Corvum) maintains a breach response plan and will cooperate with affected customers to meet their own notification obligations to their clients and employees. In the event of a breach involving AI-generated transcripts or summaries, the sensitivity of that content will be taken into account in assessing risk and notification obligations; see the AI Features Addendum (Version 2.0), Section 5.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to maintain the Services, and to comply with our legal obligations. Our general retention practices include:
AI-generated call transcripts and summaries (where AI Features are enabled): subject to Customer-configured retention periods; default ninety (90) days from date of generation. See the AI Features Addendum (Version 2.0), Section 6, for full details.
When personal information is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our data destruction procedures.
8. Cross-Border Data Transfers
Corvum is a Canadian company and our primary data processing occurs in Canada. We provide services to customers in both Canada and the United States. For U.S.-based customers, personal information is processed primarily in Canada and may also be processed within the United States by our sub-processors. For Canadian customers, personal information may also be processed in the United States by certain sub-processors, as described below.
Where personal information is transferred outside Canada, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, including contractual protections consistent with PIPEDA and applicable provincial requirements. Customers in Quebec should be aware that, where required under Law 25, we conduct privacy impact assessments before transferring personal information outside Quebec.
Canadian customers: By using our Services, you acknowledge that your information may be processed in Canada and, where sub-processors operate in the United States, in the United States under the safeguards described above.
U.S. customers: By using our Services, you acknowledge that your information will be processed primarily in Canada and may also be processed within the United States. Transfers to Canada are not subject to U.S. state cross-border transfer requirements. Canada has been recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection, and PIPEDA is acknowledged under a number of international adequacy frameworks. Canadian-based processing therefore does not require additional cross-border transfer mechanisms under most U.S. state privacy laws.
9. Your Privacy Rights — Canadian Customers
This section describes privacy rights available to Canadian customers under PIPEDA and applicable provincial legislation. U.S. customer rights are described in Section 10. Subject to applicable law and reasonable verification of your identity, you have the following rights with respect to your personal information:
9.1 Right of Access
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, including information about the purposes for which it is used and to whom it has been disclosed.
9.2 Right to Correction
If personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that we correct or update it.
9.3 Right to Withdraw Consent
Where we rely on consent as the legal basis for processing, you may withdraw that consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. Withdrawal of consent for processing that is necessary to provide the Services may affect our ability to continue providing those Services.
9.4 Right to Challenge Compliance
You have the right to challenge our compliance with this Policy and applicable privacy legislation. We will investigate all complaints and respond in a timely manner.
9.5 Right to Complain to a Regulator (Canadian Customers)
If you are not satisfied with our response to a privacy concern, you have the right to make a complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) at http://www.priv.gc.ca, or to the applicable provincial privacy commissioner.
Customer administrators should note that employee and end-user privacy rights should be addressed in the customer’s own privacy policies, which should be consistent with how Corvum’s Services are deployed. U.S.-based law firm customers should ensure their own privacy policies address the rights of their employees and clients under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.
10. Your Privacy Rights — U.S. Customers
This section describes privacy rights available to U.S.-based customers and individuals. The specific rights available to you depend on the state in which you are located. Corvum is committed to honoring these rights to the extent applicable and will not discriminate against you for exercising them.
10.1 Rights Under U.S. State Privacy Laws
As of 2025, nineteen U.S. states have enacted comprehensive consumer privacy laws. The rights under these laws vary by state, but commonly include the following, subject to applicable thresholds and exemptions:
10.2 California-Specific Disclosures (CCPA/CPRA)
For California residents, the following additional disclosures apply under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA):
10.3 How to Submit a U.S. Privacy Rights Request
U.S. customers may submit privacy rights requests by contacting us at support@corvum.io. Please identify the right you wish to exercise and provide sufficient information to verify your identity and your relationship with Corvum. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable state law (45 days under most state laws, with an extension of up to an additional 45 days where reasonably necessary). We will not charge a fee for a reasonable rights request unless it is excessive or manifestly unfounded.
Note: Because Corvum provides services exclusively to business customers (law firms), Corvum acts as a service provider / data processor under applicable U.S. state privacy laws rather than as a business / controller. Many U.S. state privacy rights requests regarding personal information processed by Corvum on behalf of a law firm should therefore be directed to the relevant law firm as the data controller. Corvum will assist law firm customers in fulfilling their own obligations to respond to such requests upon written request from the law firm.
10.4 U.S. Wiretapping and Recording Consent
U.S. federal law (ECPA / Wiretap Act) permits recording of calls with the consent of one party. However, the following U.S. states require the consent of all parties to a telephone or VoIP call before it may be recorded or intercepted: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington.
Law firm customers in these all-party consent states are solely responsible for ensuring that all parties to calls processed through Corvum’s Services (including call recording and AI Features) have provided legally sufficient consent before processing begins. Corvum strongly recommends that these customers deploy an automated call announcement on all applicable lines. The obligation to comply with state wiretapping laws rests with the Customer; Corvum does not monitor, verify, or enforce customer compliance with state-specific recording consent requirements. See the AI Features Addendum (Version 2.0), Section 4.2 and Section 4.5, for specific guidance on all-party consent obligations and U.S. legal framework disclosures applicable to AI-assisted call transcription and summarization.
10.5 U.S. Law Enforcement and Government Access
As a VoIP provider, Corvum is subject to lawful interception obligations under the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), which requires that our network infrastructure be capable of facilitating lawful interception by U.S. law enforcement pursuant to a valid court order or other legal authority. Corvum will not disclose the existence of a lawful interception order to the extent prohibited by law.
U.S. law enforcement may also seek access to stored communications under the Stored Communications Act (SCA), including AI-generated transcripts and summaries stored on the Corvum platform. Corvum will review any such requests for legal validity before responding and will notify affected customers where permitted by applicable law. Customers with concerns about government access to their communications data should contact support@corvum.io. See the AI Features Addendum (Version 2.0), Section 4.5, for further details on CALEA and SCA obligations as they apply to AI Features.
11. Cookies and Online Tracking
Our website (corvum.io) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve user experience and understand how visitors use our site.
11.1 Types of Cookies We Use
11.2 Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website and customer portal. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising.
12. AI-Powered Features
Corvum offers optional AI-powered call transcription and summarization features (“AI Features”). These features are enabled by default (with customers onboarded after September 1st, 2025), and to be changed must be explicitly requested by a Customer. When enabled, call audio or transcript text is processed by third-party large language model (LLM) API services to generate transcripts and/or summaries for the Customer’s authorized users.
The collection, use, disclosure, and retention of personal information in connection with AI Features is governed by the CloudPBX Inc. (d.b.a. Corvum) AI Features Addendum (Version 2.0), which forms part of this Privacy Policy and is available at corvum.io/legal. The Addendum should be read together with Section 10.4 of this Policy (U.S. Wiretapping and Recording Consent) and Sections 10.2–10.3 (U.S. Customer Rights). The following is a summary of key commitments applicable to AI Features:
Law firm customers should review the AI Features Addendum carefully with respect to solicitor-client privilege considerations and professional obligations before enabling AI Features. The Addendum includes specific guidance on privilege risk, recommended call announcements, and customer responsibilities.
13. Minors
Our Services are intended for use by businesses and legal professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a minor, we will take prompt steps to delete it.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will:
Your continued use of our Services after the effective date of a revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
15. Contact and Privacy Officer
CloudPBX Inc. (d.b.a. Corvum) has designated a Privacy Officer responsible for overseeing compliance with this Policy and applicable privacy legislation. If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Policy or our privacy practices, please contact:

AI FEATURES ADDENDUM
To the CloudPBX Inc. (d.b.a. Corvum) Privacy Policy
Effective Date: March 23, 2026
Last Reviewed: March 23, 2026
Version: 2.0
LEGAL VERTICAL NOTICE: This Addendum addresses AI processing of communications that may contain solicitor-client privileged information (Canada) or attorney-client privileged information (United States). Law firm customers in both Canada and the United States must review this Addendum carefully and ensure their own clients are informed of AI-assisted transcription and summarization services prior to enabling these features.
Preamble and Relationship to Privacy Policy
This AI Features Addendum (“Addendum”) supplements and forms part of the CloudPBX Inc. (d.b.a. Corvum) Privacy Policy. It governs the collection, processing, use, disclosure, and retention of personal information in connection with Corvum’s optional AI-powered call transcription and summarization features (“AI Features”) for customers in both Canada and the United States. Capitalized terms not defined in this Addendum have the meanings given to them in the CloudPBX Inc. (d.b.a. Corvum) Privacy Policy.
In the event of any conflict between this Addendum and the core Privacy Policy with respect to AI Features, this Addendum governs.
AI Features are entirely optional, but are enabled by default for all customers onboarded on or after September 1st, 2025. They can be configured or disabled by the Corvum support team, reachable via support@corvum.io.
1. Description of AI Features
Corvum offers the following optional AI-powered features to subscribing law firm customers in Canada and the United States:
1.1 AI Call Transcription
When enabled, audio from calls routed through the Corvum platform is processed to generate a text transcript of the conversation. Transcription is performed using a large language model (LLM) API service. The transcript is returned to the Corvum platform and made available to authorized users of the Customer’s account.
1.2 AI Call Summarization
When enabled, the transcript generated under Section 1.1 (or audio directly, depending on configuration) is processed by a second LLM API service to generate a structured summary of the call. Summaries may include key topics discussed, action items, and a brief narrative overview. The summary is returned to the Corvum platform and made available to authorized users of the Customer’s account.
1.3 Feature Independence
Call Transcription and Call Summarization may be enabled independently. Summarization may be configured to process the transcript output of the Transcription feature, or may operate as a separate pipeline depending on Customer configuration. Both features can be enabled or disabled at any time by the Customer’s account administrator.
NOTE: Depending on configuration, these features may operate in real-time with or without Customer configuration to that effect. Customers may configure features to apply to, specific inbound/outbound/internal calls or on an on-demand basis. Review your account configuration to confirm how these features are applied.
2. AI Sub-Processors
Corvum uses two third-party LLM API services as sub-processors to power AI Features. These services process call audio and/or transcript text on Corvum’s behalf under contractual terms described in this section.
Sub-Processor Role | Transcription LLM (Primary) |
Service Description | Processes call audio to generate text transcripts |
Provider | Groq Inc. (note: not the more infamous ‘Grok’) |
Processing Location | United States |
Data Retention by Provider | Zero — no audio or transcript data is retained by the provider after processing |
Training Use | Prohibited by contract — call content is never used to train or improve the provider’s models |
DPA in Place | No DPA in effect other than service contract |
Sub-Processor Role | Summarization LLM (Secondary) |
Service Description | Processes transcript text to generate structured call summaries |
Provider | Openai Inc. |
Processing Location | United States |
Data Retention by Provider | Zero — no transcript or summary data is retained by the provider after processing |
Training Use | Prohibited by contract — call content is never used to train or improve the provider’s models |
DPA in Place | No DPA in effect other than service contract |
COMMITMENT: Corvum contractually prohibits both AI sub-processors from retaining, storing, or using any call audio, transcript, or summary content for any purpose other than returning the processed output to Corvum. This prohibition expressly includes model training, product improvement, benchmarking, and any other secondary use.
Corvum will notify customers of any material change to the identity or data processing practices of AI sub-processors at least thirty (30) days before such change takes effect, and will update this Addendum accordingly.
3. Data Flows and Processing Details
3.1 Transcription Data Flow
The following describes how call audio is processed when Call Transcription is enabled:
3.2 Summarization Data Flow
The following describes how transcript content is processed when Call Summarization is enabled:
3.3 What Is and Is Not Sent to LLM Providers
For certainty, the following table describes what data is and is not transmitted to LLM sub-processors:
Data Element | Transcription LLM | Summarization LLM |
Call audio (voice) | Yes — for transcription | No (transcript is sent, not audio) |
Transcript text | No | Yes — for summarization |
Caller ID / phone numbers | No — stripped before API call | No |
Account identifiers or user IDs | No | No |
Customer name or firm name | No | No |
Call metadata (duration, timestamps) | No | No |
Stored transcripts or prior summaries | No | No |
4. Consent and Disclosure Requirements
4.1 Customer’s Responsibility
The Customer (the subscribing law firm) is responsible for ensuring that all parties to calls processed through AI Features have been appropriately informed and, where required by law, have consented to AI-assisted transcription and summarization. This obligation exists independently of Corvum’s own privacy obligations.
Corvum strongly recommends that law firm customers (in both Canada and the United States):
4.2 All-Party Consent Considerations
Canadian federal law (under PIPEDA and the Criminal Code’s interception provisions) generally permits recording of calls with the consent of one party. U.S. federal law (ECPA) also operates on a one-party consent basis at the federal level. However, the following U.S. states require the consent of all parties before a telephone or VoIP call may be recorded, transcribed, or otherwise intercepted: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington. Where calls involve parties located in any of these all-party consent states, explicit disclosure and consent from all parties is legally required before AI Features process those calls. Given recent class-action litigation against AI transcription vendors (see, e.g., Brewer v. Otter.ai, 2025), Corvum strongly advises Customers to treat all-party consent requirements as a compliance priority.
Corvum provides configurable tools to assist with consent compliance. Customers are responsible for deploying and configuring these tools appropriately.
4.3 Recommended Call Announcement
Corvum recommends that Customers enable an automated call announcement played at the outset of calls processed by AI Features. A suitable announcement might read:
“This call may be recorded, transcribed, and summarized using AI-powered tools for the internal use of [Firm Name]. If you do not consent to this, please inform the staff member you are speaking with.”
For customers in U.S. all-party consent states (California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington), a stronger announcement is legally required. We recommend the following variant for those jurisdictions:
“This call will be recorded, transcribed, and summarized using AI-powered tools for the internal use of [Firm Name]. By continuing this call, you consent to this recording and AI processing. If you do not consent, please say so now and we will proceed without recording.”
This announcement should be customized to reflect the firm’s actual practices and reviewed by the firm’s own legal counsel for compliance with applicable law in the relevant jurisdiction(s).
4.4 Corvum’s Role
Corvum acts as a data processor (Canada) and service provider (United States) with respect to personal information processed through AI Features. The Customer is the data controller (Canada) or business (United States) for purposes of applicable privacy legislation. Corvum processes personal information through AI Features solely on the Customer’s instructions and in accordance with this Addendum. U.S. law firm customers remain the controller / business responsible for their own compliance obligations to their employees and clients under applicable U.S. state privacy laws, including the CCPA/CPRA and equivalent state laws.
4.5 U.S. Customers: ECPA, CALEA, and State Law Disclosure
U.S. customers enabling AI Features should be aware of the following additional legal context:
5. Security Measures for AI Features
In addition to the security measures described in the core Privacy Policy, Corvum implements the following controls specifically for AI Features:
6. Retention and Deletion of AI-Generated Content
6.1 Customer-Controlled Retention
Customers control the retention period for transcripts and summaries generated through AI Features. Account administrators may configure retention periods through the account portal. Upon expiry of the configured retention period, transcripts and summaries are permanently deleted from the Corvum platform.
6.2 Default Retention
Where a Customer has not configured a specific retention period, the following defaults apply:
6.3 LLM Provider Retention
As described in Section 2, neither LLM sub-processor retains call audio, transcript text, or summary content after returning the processed output to Corvum. Corvum contractually verifies this commitment and conducts periodic reviews of sub-processor compliance.
6.4 Deletion on Request
Customers may request deletion of specific transcripts or summaries, or all AI-generated content associated with their account, at any time through the account portal or by contacting support@corvum.io. Deletion requests are processed within five (5) business days.
7. Privilege Considerations (Solicitor-Client / Attorney-Client)
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO LAW FIRM CUSTOMERS: This section addresses specific considerations for law firms using AI Features in connection with solicitor-client (Canada) or attorney-client (United States) privileged communications. Law firm administrators should review this section with their firm’s own privacy counsel before enabling AI Features.
7.1 Privilege Risk
Call content processed through AI Features is transmitted to third-party LLM sub-processors. While Corvum has taken contractual and technical steps to minimize risk (including zero-retention commitments and prohibitions on training use), law firms in both Canada and the United States should be aware that:
7.2 Risk Mitigation
To mitigate privilege risk, law firm customers are advised to:
7.3 Corvum’s Limitation
Corvum is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. The considerations in this Section 7 are provided for informational purposes only. Law firm customers are solely responsible for compliance with their professional obligations, including confidentiality, privilege (solicitor-client in Canada; attorney-client in the United States), and applicable law society or bar association rules. Corvum recommends that each firm seek independent legal advice before enabling AI Features.
8. Accuracy of AI-Generated Content
AI-generated transcripts and summaries are produced by automated systems and may contain errors, inaccuracies, omissions, or “hallucinations” (content that was not present in the source audio). Specifically:
Corvum makes no warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of AI-generated transcripts or summaries. Law firm customers in particular must exercise independent professional judgment when reviewing AI-generated content.
9. Customer Obligations
By enabling AI Features, the Customer agrees to:
10. Disabling AI Features and Data Deletion
AI Features may be disabled at any time by Corvum support staff. Disabling AI Features will immediately stop the processing of new calls through the AI pipeline. Existing transcripts and summaries will be retained until deleted by the Customer or until the applicable retention period expires.
Upon termination of the Customer’s Corvum account, all transcripts and summaries associated with the account will be deleted within thirty (30) days, subject to any legal hold obligations. Customers may request earlier deletion by contacting support@corvum.io.
11. Updates to This Addendum
Corvum may update this Addendum from time to time, including to reflect changes to the AI sub-processors used, data flow architecture, or applicable legal requirements. Where changes are material, Corvum will provide at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Customers before the updated Addendum takes effect, by email or through the customer portal.
Continued use of AI Features following the effective date of an updated Addendum constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
