16. Other matters

Call recordings

Which calls does this refer to?

This includes most incoming and outgoing telephone calls that are handled by the Buttercup Bus contact number advertised on the website. Payment information is never taken by this phone number.

Why are calls recorded?
It has become common practice to record calls due to the growth of business conducted by telephone. Recording customer conversations allows organisations to assess customer satisfaction, train and develop staff, review call quality, and have access to a verbal record of what is said in the event of a subsequent complaint. It also hopefully means employees feel more protected.

How will call recordings be used?

  • Quality monitoring – Written records only provide partial information. A call recording provides a more rounded view and allows us to better understand customer experience and assess the processes applied. This can help us identify any improvement areas.
  • Training and Development – Listening to a sample number of calls, allows managers to identify training needs. Sample scenarios are based on the recordings but any transcripts are anonymised.
  • Gaining a better understanding of our customers – Many calls are verbally resolved without the need to complete any records. Listening to sample calls will help us better understand our customer needs, and gain a more informed view of organisations we signpost to.
  • Complaints and disputes – Some calls are verbally resolved. Where information is entered onto an electronic system this becomes the established record. In the event of a complaint or dispute, a call recording (if available), may provide additional information to help us investigate any allegations.
  • Employee safety and wellbeing – A recording may become a vital piece of evidence in the event of any threats being made to the organisation or an individual.

How have we informed our customers that we record calls?
This privacy notice is published on the website. It is also pre-announced on the inbound telephone system as a recorded message, before an inbound caller opts to connect.

Customers who ring Buttercup Bus Vintage Camper’s contact number published on the website will hear the following message:

“…. Calls may be recorded for training and monitoring purposes ….”.

Customers will then have the option to select from the menu which option to connect.

Outbound calls are made via a separate mobile number and are not recorded.

Information about the security of information held in call recordings

Our telephony provider, CircleLoop, has provided assurances regarding the security of the recorded data within the Cloud environment, for the period it is held. You can read more about this on theior website here.

Can I request a copy of my call recording?
Call recordings are destroyed after 12 months. If the recording is available, you can request a copy of your conversation by making a request for access in writing / by email. You must rovide the date of the call, and the number form which the call was received. This only applied to inbound calls to Buttercup Bus Vintage Campers via the number advertised on the website.  This will be provided to you in accordance with the terms of the Data Protection Act 2018.

 

Photobooth images and email addresses

We store your photobooth images on a third party, password protected gallery and proofing service: Pixieset Media Inc. The password for the images will either be sent direct to the client that booked the service, or will be printed on the instant prints from the photobooth for all booth users from the specific event to access all images from that event. Once the gallery is published, a cover page for the gallery is generated with one photo from the booth randomly selected for the cover page. This image will be visible by the public – but all other images will only be accessible via the password. When booth users access and download their images, they will need to enter the password and their email address to gain access to Pixieset, with the email address acting as a login. This allows users to create favourite lists, leave comments and also share images effectively. This is also necessary for the ordering of prints. For further information about how Pixieset collects and processes personal data please visit the Pixieset website.

Where you may book a photobooth with enhanced sharing (real time shareing features – a special request add-on service, not included by default), your final prints and (where configured GIFs) are securely uploaded to the DSLR Booth servers, so they can be used in features that are dependent on having the photos online such as SMS, QR Code, and sharing buttons from within e-mails. This also allows our fotoShare app to download these images over the internet.

Information relating to your method of payment

Payment information is never taken by us or transferred to us either through our website or otherwise. Our employees and contractors never have access to it. At the point of payment, you are transferred to a secure page on the website of PayPal / Stripe or some other reputable payment service provider. That page may be branded to look like a page on our website, but it is not controlled by us.

Affiliate and business partner information

This is information given to us by you in your capacity as an affiliate of us or as a business partner. It allows us to recognise visitors that you have referred to us, and to credit to you commission due for such referrals. It also includes information that allows us to transfer commission to you. The information is not used for any other purpose. We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of the information and of the terms of our relationship. We expect any affiliate or partner to agree to reciprocate this policy.

Job application and employment

If you send us information in connection with a job application, we may keep it for up to three years in case we decide to contact you at a later date. If we employ you, we collect information about you and your work from time to time throughout the period of your employment. This information will be used only for purposes directly relevant to your employment. After your employment has ended, we will keep your file for six years before destroying or deleting it.

Use of site by children

  • We do not sell products or provide services for purchase by children, nor do we market to children.
  • If you are under 18, you may use our website only with consent from a parent or guardian
