Personal Information collected when using a website which uses the Calltracks™ service.
Calltracks’ call tracking services are provided to commercial customers in accordance with our contract with them. These customers are responsible for the data as the Data Controllers and for explaining to visitors of their website that they transfer personal data to Calltracks and how Calltracks processes data on their behalf.

When a commercial customer (‘Data Controller’) uses the Calltracks™ visitor tracking product (‘Calltracks Service’) on their website (‘website’), there are two cookies that are used to identify your browser on this website.

Calltracks stores website activity linked to those two identifiers, which includes the entire URL, the ip address, and any other information available on the website, such as other cookies, in accordance with the instructions of the Data Controller. This information will then be stored for up to one month. If there is a subsequent phone call to one of the phone numbers provided by Calltracks, at the request of the Data Controller we will link that phone call to a Visit ID (‘Linked Data’)

What we do with the Personal Information collected when you use a website which uses the Calltracks service. In line with the instructions of the Data Controller, we compile the Linked Data and provide it to the Data Controller.

Calltracks only processes data in accordance with specific instructions of a Data Controller. Calltracks does not determine why or how the data is processed and never acts as a controller of the data it collects as part of its service except in so far as it is required by regulatory authorities to comply with a law or legal request.

Calltracks performs this processing as part of its contractual obligations in providing services to the Data Controller, (‘Calltracks Client’).

Do Not Track: The Calltracks Visitor Tracking product does not take into account browsers’ Do Not Track setting. The decision to use the Calltracks Service is at the discretion of the Data Controller. By default, Calltracks visitor tracking service will not operate without specific settings to enable it to do so. Calltracks accepts no responsibility for incorrect application of its service. If you suspect any abuse of Calltracks service, we would like you to contact us using the details set out at the end of this Privacy Notice.
