7. Call Recording  

This privacy notice explains how we use recordings of phone calls within iTrust Partnering.

Personal data  

When a call is recorded, we collect:

  • a digital recording of the telephone conversation

  • the telephone number of both parties (internal and external)

Personal data revealed during a telephone call will be digitally recorded for example name and contact details to deliver appropriate services.

Occasionally ‘special category’ of personal information may be recorded where a candidate voluntarily discloses health, religious, ethnicity or criminal information to support their request for advice and/or services.

Using personal data  

Call recordings will be used:

  • to assist in the staff training and performance review

  • to investigate and resolve complaints, when necessary

  • for the detection, investigation and prevention of crime (including fraud)

  • to take actions to protect staff from abusive callers

All call recordings are held securely by our telephony provider PS Tech for a period of 3 months. Records are stored in a UK based server. Only an iTrust Director may access a call and eventually request a copy of a call through the protected user platform.

Sharing data 

We may be required or permitted, under Data Protection legislation, to disclose a call recording including your personal data without your explicit consent, for example if we have a legal obligation to do so, such as for:

  • Law enforcement

  • Fraud investigations

  • Regulation and licencing

  • Criminal prosecutions

  • Court proceedings

Our legal basis for collecting and sharing personal data

Recording of calls is necessary to protect the interests of you, our customers and our staff. The legal basis for us to process personal data set out in Article 6 of GDPR is your explicit consent, provided at the beginning of the call.

8. Is your data secured with us?

We endeavour to ensure your personal data is secured at all time, thanks to the use of appropriate technologies available to protect our devices, internet connections, data storage and transfer, and strict organisational procedures. However, the security of any internet transmission is never fully guaranteed so the transfer of your personal data via our website, email communication or other transfer to a third party is at your own a risk.

9.  Your rights: How can you access, correct and delete your personal data? How to restrict processing your data?
