Your Call may, from time to time, review and update this Privacy Policy to take account of new laws and technology, changes to Your Call’s operations and practices and to make sure it remains appropriate to the changing legal environment.

What kind of personal information does Your Call collect and how does Your Call collect it?

The type of information Your Call collects and holds includes personal information, including sensitive information.

Your Call will generally collect personal information freely provided by an individual by way of online form, email, mail and telephone hotline.

Client organisations freely provide key user email addresses and mobile numbers in order to login and use the service.

Marketing (client or new client enquiries)

Your Call only records personal information, with your consent, when you submit feedback or request services/information from us. As part of this process we may ask for your consent to collect your name and other personal identifiable information. Your Call uses this information only for the purpose of contacting you in the course of forming a business relationship, email newsletters (if consent given) or offering the service you requested from us.

Personal Information provided by other people:

In some circumstances Your Call may be provided with personal information about another individual or third party, for example in an allegation of misconduct.

Where permitted, in order to perform its service, Your Call will provide this information to the client organisation as per its service agreement with the client organisation.

How will Your Call use the personal information you provide?

Service delivery (whistleblowers)

Your Call will use personal information it collects from you for the primary purpose of collection, and for such other purposes that are related to the primary purpose of collection and reasonably expected, or to which you have consented.

Your Call has no way of using personal information provided in disclosures for direct marketing and will never share personally identifiable information to anyone outside the primary or secondary purpose of collection.

Storing information overseas:

How does Your Call treat sensitive information?

In referring to ‘sensitive information’, Your Call means:

“information relating to a person’s racial ethnic origin, political opinions, religion, trade union or other professional or trade association membership, sexual preferences or criminal record, that is also personal information; and health information about an individual”.

Sensitive information will be used and disclosed only for the purpose for which it was provided, unless you agree otherwise, or the use or disclosure of the sensitive information is allowed by law.

Your Call’s staff are required to respect the confidentiality of personal information and the privacy of individuals.

Your Call’s online assets have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. We maintain a secure site both through server and database security. Although any site on the web may be subject to attack, we maintain that our site is secure to the current level of protection available through our server and software vendors. All data is backed up regularly and available at any time to the customer.  All Your Call files are password-protected for your privacy and security.  In certain areas Your Call uses industry-standard SSL-encryption to protect data transmissions.

Your Call does not use cookies in its online disclosure forms.

Whilst Your Call has taken all reasonable steps to keep the information confidential Your Call shall not be bound to retain as confidential any information if :

  • the information is or becomes part of the public domain;

In general circumstances, it will be kept for a minimum of seven years (or until legally obligated) unless secure destruction is requested in writing by a client organisation.

Remarketing Using Third Party Ad Networks

We may also market our services to Your Call Website Users and Your Call Service Users by using ‘remarketing’ or ‘re-engagement’ services offered by third party ad services. At the time of writing this policy, the third party service we use for this is Google Ads. In this respect:

  • Google Ads (or any similar service we use in the future) are more likely to show ads for our services on other websites and other electronic channels to Your Call Website Users and Your Call Service Users, compared to the general public.
  • Google Ads (or any similar service we use in the future) will deploy cookies and possibly other user recognition technologies (such as web beacons (or clear gifs)) on the Your Call Website.
  • Those cookies (and possibly other user recognition technologies) will be used by Google Ads (or any similar service we use in the future) to identify you or your device as a prior visitor to the Your Call Website or Your Call Services and serve our ads (and perhaps other ads) to you based on that.
  • You can opt out of Google Ads’ use of cookies or other recognition technologies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings: http://www.google.com/settings/ads.
  • You may also be able to opt out of another service’s cookies or other recognition technologies by visiting http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp , and may be able to prevent or limit the use of some cookies and user recognition technologies via settings in your browser or elsewhere on your device.

Who else might collect information about you as you use the Your Call Service or the Your Call Website?

Like most websites and services, the Your Call Website and Your Call Service utilise some third party technologies, such as help desk technologies like JIRA or Zendesk and user analysis technologies like Google Analytics. Those third parties might also collect personal information.
