Who we share your data with
We may share your personal data with other staff members within VooRing when you provide VooRing with your information.
We take all reasonable steps to ensure that our staff protect your personal data and know their information security obligations. We limit access to your personal data to those who have a business need to know it.
Third Parties
We may also share your personal data with trusted third parties, including:
Service providers contracted to us in connection with the provision of the products and services; this includes the service provider which runs election and voting at our annual general meeting;
Our insurers;
External and internal lawyers and/or specialist advisors
VooRing may also be bound to share data with the police or other law enforcement agencies in the event of a crime.
We will ensure there is a contract in place with the categories of recipients listed above, which include obligations in relation to the confidentiality, security, and lawful processing of any personal data shared with them. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
Protecting information outside of the USA
Some of the organizations we share information with may be located outside of the USA. We will always take steps to ensure that any transfer of information outside of the USA is carefully managed to protect your privacy rights. We will ensure that the transfer of personal data will be protected by appropriate safeguards, including the use of standard data protection clauses where the data protection authority does not believe that the third country has adequate data protection laws.
Extraordinary Circumstances
Occasionally and only where necessary to fulfill our legal obligations, conduct investigations, and/or deliver our services may share your information with law enforcement organizations such as the police or courts.
Examination Results
All exam results will be held for a period of 5 years as this is a record of a person’s qualifications unless there is a specific request to delete the data via a right to be forgotten request.
VooRing will share exam results and marks with the Training Provider as there is a ‘reasonable expectation’ for this information to be provided. VooRing policy is not to share results with any employer (unless they also are your Training Provider), relative, or friend unless express consent is obtained to do so. Where VooRing works with other Examination Providers (such as ISTQB or EXIN), we will share the exam marks with them.
Recordings
We may record telephone calls you make to our customer contact center to train staff or check for mistakes. Your information may be shared with other organizations if they have a legal right to it.
We also record some interviews. If you are invited to an interview, we may ask your permission in advance of the interview starting, or we will use Legitimate Interest as our lawful basis for the recording. We record interviews in the event of a complaint or appeal. We will delete the call recording one month after the call was made.
How long do we retain your data?
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights do you have over your data?
Suggested text: If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
