Calling our helpline

When you call into our main line +44 (0)1753 839 329 we collect Calling Line Identification (CLI) information. This is the phone number you are calling from (if it’s not withheld). We hold a log of the phone number, date, time and duration of the call, but do not audio-record the call itself. We hold this information for 90 days.We use this information to understand the demand for our services and to improve how we operate.

We may also use the number to call you back if you have asked us to do so, if your call drops, or if there is a problem with the line. We may also use it to check how many calls we have received from it. We don’t audio record any calls, but we might make notes.We also hold statistical information about the calls we receive for a number of years, but this does not contain any personal data.

 

Social media

We use a third-party provider, Hootsuite, to manage our social-media interactions. If you send us a private or direct message via social media, it will be stored by Hootsuite for three months. It will not be shared with any other organisations.

We see all this information and decide how we manage it. For example, if you send a message via social media that needs a response from us, we may process it in our case management system as an enquiry or a complaint.
