Call & Video Call Usage Policy

Acceptable use rules, privacy standards, and safety requirements for Gletra integrated voice and video calling features.

Updated June 19, 2026 5 min read Official Gletra Policy

Gletra provides integrated voice and video calling capabilities to enable real-time communication between buyers, sellers, and service providers in connection with marketplace transactions and home service bookings. This Call and Video Call Usage Policy governs acceptable use of these features.

Calls may be initiated from order threads, service booking pages, and Gletra Chat conversations. Calling is intended for legitimate transaction-related communication including product inquiries, order coordination, service scope discussion, and dispute resolution. All calls are subject to the conduct standards in our Community Guidelines and User Conduct Policy.

Gletra logs call metadata including participant identifiers, start and end times, duration, and associated transaction references for safety monitoring, quality assurance, and dispute resolution. Call audio and video content is not recorded by default unless a recording feature is explicitly enabled with all-party consent where required by law.

Violation of this policy may result in call feature restrictions, account warnings, temporary suspension, or permanent termination depending on severity. Report abusive or inappropriate call behaviour immediately through the in-call report button or post-call feedback form.

Recording Policy

Recording Policy
Recording Policy

Call recording is disabled by default on Gletra. Where a recording feature is available for specific use cases such as dispute documentation, all participants must be notified and provide consent before recording begins. Secret recording violates this policy and applicable wiretapping laws.

Users who record calls without consent may face account termination and Gletra may cooperate with legal authorities. Customers and providers in two-party consent jurisdictions must verbally confirm recording consent at call start.

Integration with Gletra Chat

Integration with Gletra Chat

Calls initiated from Gletra Chat threads are linked to the conversation history for dispute resolution context. Call availability may be limited to users with active orders or bookings to reduce unsolicited contact. Users may disable incoming calls in privacy settings while retaining the ability to initiate calls for their own transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, not by default. Gletra does not record call audio or video unless a specific recording feature is enabled with explicit all-party consent. Call metadata such as duration, participants, and timestamps is logged for safety and dispute resolution purposes.

Calling may be available on product pages where the seller has enabled pre-sale communication. Some sellers accept calls only after order placement to reduce spam. Use Gletra Chat for initial inquiries if calling is not available. Never share payment details or OTPs during pre-sale calls.

Use the in-call report button immediately, end the call, and block the user through their profile. Submit a detailed report through post-call feedback or support@gletra.com. Gletra investigates abuse reports within 24 hours and may suspend the offending account.

No. Off-platform payment solicitation during calls is strictly prohibited and removes your Customer Protection eligibility. Report such requests immediately. Always complete payments through Gletra checkout or Gletra Wallet to ensure refund and dispute protection.

Call quality depends primarily on your internet connection and device capabilities. Ensure minimum 3 Mbps bandwidth for video, close bandwidth-heavy applications, and use the Gletra mobile app rather than browser on mobile devices. Gletra is not liable for quality issues caused by network conditions.

Yes. Go to Account Settings, Privacy, and toggle "Allow incoming calls" off. You can still initiate calls for your own active orders and bookings. Text communication via Gletra Chat remains available regardless of call settings.
