By becoming our client you agree to our terms and conditions, please see our privacy policy for more information.

 

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union (EU) privacy regulation that was signed into law in April 2016. By May 25th 2018, businesses worldwide need to comply with this regulation.

 

This document has been produced by Advertising Analytics to help you deliver the undertakings required by GDPR, whilst also being able to work effectively and monitor your advertising performance.

An important aspect of GDPR is obtaining informed consent for the use of certain personal data. This consent should be given freely and specifically.

What personal data does Advertising Analytics process?

Advertising Analytics processes the following four pieces of data that are defined as “Personal”:

 

All are covered by GDPR.

 

1) CLI – Caller Line Identity: This is the callers telephone number.

This could be a personal landline, mobile, or a shared business telephone number.

 

2) IP Address: This is captured whilst using the Vision product.

The IP address can be a personal one if it is fixed, or it could be a shared one supplied by an ISP.  Advertising Analytics tracks  MH Visitor ID and the domain they are on, please consult your website developer as to whether you need to add this to your privacy policy .

 

3) Voice Recordings: If you have call recording enabled on your account, we will record all calls that are delivered via the Advertising Analytics system.

 

Call recordings are covered under GDPR due your voice being unique, and the fact that personal data can be recorded as part of you and your client’s interactions. You may need to review the types of calls you receive and decide:

  1. a) If call recording is required.
  2. b) Whether listening should be limited to authorised personnel within your business only.
  3. c) Whether you should add / change any announcements at the beginning of the call.
  4. d) The length of time you should store voice recordings.
 

4) CLI Data Mapping: Using the presented CLI (landline only), Advertising Analytics can attribute the call to the following information using the callers telephone number. In the example

below, we have used 01908 000000.

 

Region: Area of the UK that the call originated. 01908 000000 = South East.

 

ITV Region: The Television region. 01908 000000 = Anglia.

 

County: The County the call originated. 01908 000000 = Buckinghamshire.

 

Postcode: The 1st part of the postcode using the full number = MK5 for example.

 

Town: The Town the call originated from = Milton Keynes.

 

Exchange: The telephone exchange the call originated from = Milton

Keynes. For mobiles, we can provide the mobile exchange (e.g. Vodafone).

5) Consent to acquire, store and process data

The major change GDPR brings is that the failure to Opt-Out does no longer constitutes consent. Visitors to your website need to Opt In

6) How to make your website compliant?
