You may share your PiP Number with your Contacts to enable your Contacts to make a call to your PiP Number. In some circumstances your Associated Business may choose to override your PiP Number and allow you to use your Associated Business phone number instead. In this situation your Associated Business will provide us with details of your Associated Business phone number so that the system can be configured appropriately to enable you to receive the Services via your Associated Business phone number.
We process your Account Data in order to set up your account and enable you to receive the Services from us. We process your PiP Number and your Associated Business phone number for the purposes of facilitating your calls using the App, which is further explained below.
We process your Account Data, your PiP Number and your Associated Business phone number to pursue the legitimate interests of your Associated Business, who has engaged us to provide the Services to it and its Business Users. Your Associated Business intends for you to use the App to carry out the duties required of you by your Associated Business and therefore requires you to have an account with us via which we provide the Services to you.
Creating contacts in, and transferring contacts to, the App:
You may create a Contact in the App for the purposes of making calls to, or receiving calls from, such Contact. When you create a Contact, you may provide us with the Contact’s first name, last name, company name, email address(es) and phone number(s) for their contact telephone number (“Contact Data”). As a minimum you will be required to provide us with a phone number of the contact.
If you transfer a Contact from your mobile device to the App the following data about the Contact is copied to the App: first name, surname, employer or organisation associated with, source (e.g. if the data originates from the mobile device, or webmail or other application), phone number(s), phone number(s) label (e.g. office, home or mobile), email address(es) and email address label(s) (e.g. work or personal) (“Transferred Contact Data”).
We process the Contact Data and Transferred Contact Data for the purposes of displaying the identity of callers who make calls to you via the App. We also store the Contact Data and Transferred Contact Data in a database and display this to you as a list of Contacts that you may wish to make a call to via the App. You may designate a Contact as a favourite, which will be listed as one of your favourites within this feature of the App, so that you can make calls to your favourite Contacts without searching through the entire list of your Contacts.
We process the Contact Data and Transferred Contact Data of your Contacts to pursue your legitimate interests to improve the usability of the App and enable you to use the App most effectively. You can efficiently identify Contacts by name when using the App (including when making and receiving calls, accessing your call history and designating Contacts as favourites) and efficiently interact with your Contacts through various mediums (as a result of storing additional contact information,such as email addresses). As a result of us processing the Contact Data and Transferred Contact Data, you see more than a list of phone numbers within the App.
Making and receiving calls:
We process call details when you make and receive calls via the Services, and such records contain the date and time of when a call begins and ends, whether the call was an incoming or outgoing call, and the phone number of the person you make a call to or received a call from. Where your Associated Business has purchased call recording technology as part of the Services we provide, we will also record the content of your call and pass such recordings to your Associated Business as instructed by them in accordance with any additional terms provided with the PiPcall Corporate Customer Contract. Further information relating to call recordings should be provided to you by your Associated Businesses (either in their privacy policy or associated policy and procedure documents).Together, the information referred to in this paragraph is collectively “Call Data”.
We process your Call Data to provide our call service to you and enable you to make and receive calls via the App.
We process your Call Data to pursue the legitimate interests of your Associated Business, who has engaged us to provide the Services to it and its Business Users. Your Associated Business intends for you to use the App to make and receive calls,and we are required to facilitate such calls and comply with our obligations of providing the Services to you pursuant to the contract we have with your Associated Business.
Accessing your call history:
We process some of your Call Data to enable you to see your call history, which includes the date and time of when the call was made or received, the duration of the call,whether the call was an incoming or outgoing call, the phone number of the person you made a call to, or received a call from, the phone number you used to make or receive the call, which may be your personal phone number or work phone number (via your PiP Number), and if you have created or transferred such person as a Contact to the App (which means their Contact Data or Transferred Contact Data is in the App), their name will also be displayed (collectively“Call History Data”).
We process your Call History Data to provide you with access to an itemised history of the calls made and received via the App.
We process your Call History Data to pursue your legitimate interests to enable you to use the App most effectively. You can efficiently identify records of Contacts that you have made calls to, or received calls from, when using the App.
Accessing your voicemail service:
You may record a voicemail greeting which may be played to those making a call to you if you are unable to receive the call (“Pre-Recorded Voicemail Data”).
We process voicemail records which contain the recording of the caller’s message, the phone number of the caller, the date and time of when the message was recorded (together“Recorded Voicemail Data”).
We process your Pre-Recorded Voicemail Data and Recorded Voicemail Data for the purposes of notifying you when you have missed a call and enabling callers to leave you a message in such event.
If you record a voicemail greeting, we process your Pre-Recorded Voicemail Data to pursue your legitimate interests by enabling you to provide a personalised message to callers if you are unable to take the caller’s call. If the caller records a voicemail message, we process the Recorded Voicemail Data to pursue your legitimate interests by enabling the caller to leave a message which you may respond to later.
It is not a mandatory requirement of using the App that you record a voicemail greeting(unless your Associated Business requires otherwise) or that a caller leaves a voicemail in the event you miss the caller’s call.
Fraud monitoring:
We may monitor call activity (which includes the call duration and destination of the call) on your account using your Call Data for the purposes of checking for unusual activity which may be the result of fraudulent activity.
In order to be able to investigate fraudulent activity, we process your Call Data to pursue the legitimate interests of your Associated Business to protect against unauthorised use and spending activity on your account.
We are required to impose spending limits if you have a pay-as-you-go subscription service, and we monitor your spending activity for the purposes of complying with our legal and regulatory obligations to impose such spending limits in these circumstances.
Providing you with support:
You may require our assistance from time to time. If you contact us for help, we will raise a ticket and need certain information from you, which may include: details of the Service you are using (such as the version number you have installed), the nature of the problem you are experiencing and any alternative contact details we can use to reach you in the event your telephone number or registered email address is not working (“Support Data”).
We will process your Support Data to pursue the legitimate interests of your Associated Business, who has engaged us to provide the Services to it and its Business Users. We have an obligation to provide you with support as a Business User of our App.
Complying with legal and regulatory requirements:
We are required to comply with certain legal and regulatory requirements and may process your personal data for compliance with such legal or regulatory obligation, to which we or regulators or law enforcement agencies are subject.
