We are collecting personal data in order to record discussions in meetings between participants and to facilitate note taking. We also record conversations in routine calls to help us improve the quality of our call handling and the service we offer to our clients.

What is the legal basis for processing?

Our lawful purposes are Consent and Legitimate Interest.

  • consent - the participants have agreed that the call may be recorded. They may withdraw their consent at any point.
  • legitimate interest - the Company has a legitimate interest to record meetings to facilitate the administration of the business and to improve the quality of its service as well as in protecting and asserting our, your or another's legal rights; and in backing up data.

These lawful purposes are detailed in Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):-

How are we collecting this information?

We collect personal data about you under this notice through the recording facilities of our telephone system or the teleconference platforms we use. Participant details are automatically collected when you use these systems.

Please note that our Usage Logs Privacy Notice | Revell Research Systems Prize will apply to you as our systems automatically record interactions between us.

We collect the following personal information when we record calls and meetings facilitated by our telephone system or the teleconference platforms we use.

  • caller's identifier (typically a telephone number or email address and usually collected automatically when the call is made)
  • video and/or audio
  • date, time and duration of recording
  • participant contact details supplied automatically (depending on platform)

Our telephone system records the telephone number presented to it by the caller's telephone company (CLI details). The teleconference platforms we use typically maintain 'profile information' that you supply when you use these systems that are shared with us when you participate in a call. These details tend to include basic contact details such as name, job title, organisation, telephone and email address.

You may also provide details about yourself in the call that is recorded.
