How you can contact us:

• Calling our helpline

When you call our main helpline (01908 648588), 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.

Emailing us

We use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt and protect email traffic in line with government guidance on email security. Most webmail such as Gmail and Hotmail use TLS by default.

We'll also monitor any emails sent to us, including file attachments, for viruses or malicious software. You must ensure that any email you send is within the bounds of the law.
