Service Design and Technology. The Phelps Group switching environment is designed similarly to the telephone switching environment. Once the meeting is over the content of the meeting is not retained by The Phelps Group unless the customer specifically requests that the content be recorded. The Phelps Group uses industry standard encryption as well as its own proprietary technology to protect PII and meeting content.

Further, the only means to participate in a meeting is through The Phelps Group invitation and join meeting process, which should include a password for each meeting. The Phelps Group strongly recommends that all meetings be protected by passwords. In addition, the host has full control over attendee presence and may eject unwanted participants or lock a meeting to prevent additional participants.
