The TruVent Data, TruMonitor Data, TruAED Data, Smart Airway Data and IRL Data are together the Cloud Data.
It also informs you how we will look after your personal data when, and about your privacy rights and how the law protects you. It does not cover any third party website you have used to access our websites or the Cloud Services or any third party websites that you access from them.
It applies to all processing of personal data undertaken by TruCorp other than processing of personal information in the context of recruitment and employment, which is dealt with under separate internal policies.
It is important that you read this policy so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data.
Before using the Services, you individually, or acting on behalf of the company who has paid for access to the Services, will need to have agreed to our standard customer terms.
If you are accessing the Cloud Services you will also be required to agree to this policy, to our relevant end-user terms and conditions (depending on the Cloud Services you use, each as applicable the Terms of Use) at https://app.trucorp.com/eula.html. Where using the Cloud Services, the organisation which has authorised your licence to access the Cloud Services must have a live contract with us permitting your access.
1. WHO WE ARE
Full Name of Legal Entity: TruCorp Limited, a company incorporated in Northern Ireland under registered company number NI042894
Postal Address: 33 Waringstown Road, Lurgan, Craigavon, Northern Ireland, BT66 7HH
ICO Registration Number: ZA201554 (this is the number under which we are registered with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office as a fee paying data controller).
1.2 Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation or the EU General Data Protection Regulation (collectively GDPR) and other relevant data protection legislation, we act as both a data controller (i.e. where we make decisions) in relation to your personal data that we collect, as well as a data processor (i.e. process data broadly in accordance with your instructions.
When we act as a Data Processor: When as a user you use the Cloud Services to process personal data, or we process personal data on your behalf, whether through our provision of the Services to you or otherwise, we act as a data processor. Under these circumstances, you may act as a data controller or data processor yourself, and we will act as either a processor or a sub-processor. Whenever we act as a processor, or a sub-processor, we will be restricted in the manner and purpose for which we can use personal data (including where applicable in the manner outlined in this policy) and we will also be subject to other obligations under data protection legislation.
When we act as a Data Controller: By contrast, when we collect personal data and determine the purposes and means of processing that personal data – for example, when we store account information for TruVent, TruMonitor, and IRL users collected through account registration, administration or services access processes, or contact information as explained below – we act as a data controller.
Our websites and the Cloud Services may include links to third-party websites, widgets, plug-ins and applications (including various social media platforms). Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA

5.3 We do not share, sell, rent, or trade personal data with third parties for their commercial purposes. We may also share personal data with your permission, so we can perform services you have requested.
6. IS SHARED INFORMATION TREATED DIFFERENTLY?
6.1 Cloud Data may be viewed or downloaded by third parties where you have made it publicly accessible via the Cloud Services, including where you share it with a third party user specifically. If you do not want your any personal data comprised in such Cloud Data to be utilised by third parties, please do not make the relevant Cloud Data available to them.
6.2 In respect of the IRL Services, the nature of the IRL Services is such that your lecturer, supervisor or other third party with whom you are training is able to view access the IRL Services Data, including in real-time, and to access recordings of all training sessions delivered via the IRL Services after the fact. They can also export that IRL Services Data and share it with third parties via the IRL Services.
Whilst TruCorp accepts no responsibility for how other users may use information stored on your user account you choose to share with them, we do ask our users to agree that if they would like to use other users’ data, they may only use it for the purposes authorised by the relevant user.
For example, where a TruVent user has made an email address available for the purpose of identification and attribution, or engaged in training through the IRL Services, we request that you do not use their email address or IRL Services Data for advertising.
We expect you users who have access to third parties’ data to reasonably secure such Cloud Data you have gathered from other users, and to respond promptly to complaints, removal requests, and “do not contact” requests from TruCorp or other Cloud Services’ users.
7. HOW IS MY INFORMATION SECURED?
7.1 TruCorp takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, or destruction, maintain data accuracy and help ensure the appropriate use of personal data. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal data we hold, both during transmission and once we receive it.
7.3 In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to duties of confidentiality.
7.4 We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
7.5 No method of transmission, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
8. HOW IS INFORMATION COLLECTED AND STORED GLOBALLY?
8.1 Trucorp has operations around the world and our services providers operate in countries across the world. To facilitate global operations, your personal information may be transferred, disclosed, stored or processed in countries other than your own.
8.2 Those countries may have different privacy and data protection laws from the country where personal information was originally provided. One way in which this may occur is where your personal information is stored in a controlled access repository in the cloud. “In the cloud” refers to servers in a data centre that are managed by a third party and accessible through the Internet, and that data centre may be in a country other than your own.
8.3 Whenever we transfer your personal information to other countries, we have taken appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal information remains protected in accordance with this policy, and that any transfers to countries other than the country of your location are carried out in compliance with applicable legal requirements. If your personal information is transferred outside the UK or EEA we will rely on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK’s International Data Transfer Agreement, or relevant adequacy decisions to permit such transfers. If you would like to obtain a copy of the data sharing mechanisms we use to transfer personal information outside of your jurisdiction please contact us.
8.4 We provide the same standard of privacy protection to all our users around the world, regardless of their country of origin or location, and we are proud of the levels of notice, choice, accountability, security, data integrity, access, and recourse we provide. We work hard to comply with the applicable data privacy laws wherever we do business. Additionally, we require that if our vendors or affiliates have access to personal data, they must comply with applicable data privacy laws.
8.5 In particular:
8.5.1 we provide clear methods of unambiguous, informed consent at the time of data collection, when we do collect your personal data and if applicable. Where consent is not the applicable ground for processing, we will ensure that it has an appropriate ground for processing any personal data (including but not limited to contractual obligation or legitimate interest);
8.5.2 we collect only the minimum amount of personal data necessary, unless you choose to provide more. We encourage you to only give us the amount of data you are comfortable sharing;
8.5.3 we offer you simple methods of accessing, correcting, or deleting the data we have collected; and
8.5.4 we provide our users notice, choice, accountability, security, and access, and we limit the purpose for processing. We also provide our users a method of recourse and enforcement.
9. WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE A COMPLAINT?
9.1 If you have concerns about the way TruCorp is handling your personal data, please let us know immediately. We want to help and there are several ways available that you can contact us. You may also email us directly at info@trucorp.com with the subject line “Data Privacy”. We will respond within 21 days at the latest, unless required to respond earlier under relevant law.
9.2 If you are a data subject based in the UK or European Union, you may have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk), or other competent supervisory authority of an EU member state if the Services are accessed outside the UK. We would appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach such bodies so would ask that you please contact us in the first instance.

11.1 TruCorp may disclose personal data or other information we collect about you to law enforcement in response to a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or similar governmental order, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our property or rights, or those of third parties or the public at large.
11.2 In complying with court orders and similar legal processes, TruCorp strives for transparency. When permitted, we will make a reasonable effort to notify users of any disclosure of their information, unless we are prohibited by law or court order from doing so, or in rare, exigent circumstances.
12. HOW CAN I ACCESS MY OWN PERSONAL INFORMATION?
If you’re already a user, you may access, update, alter, or delete your basic user profile information by editing your user profile or contacting us.
Under certain circumstances, where you are a citizen of the European Union or UK, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data under GDPR.
You have the right to:
● Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
● Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
● Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.
● Please note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
● Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
● Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
● Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
● Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
Where you exercise one of your rights, we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to exercise such rights. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
13. DATA RETENTION AND DELETION
Personal Data Generally
13.1 We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
13.2 To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
13.3 We will keep your personal data for the term you have consented to, the contracted term between us where there is a legitimate interest for us to remain in contact with you, or for the legally required period, whichever is the longest.
13.4 By law we have to keep basic information about any of our customers (including contact, identity, financial and transaction data) for six years after you cease being a customer for tax purposes. For the purposes of contract administration, we will also store all data as long as the contract you have placed through us endures and for the six year limitation period thereafter in case you raise any claims in relation to any Services you have purchased from us. This section does not apply to Cloud Data.
13.5 If we rely on consent for processing your personal information, we will stop processing when the consent is withdrawn, or the processing purpose is exhausted, whatever comes first. Please note that withdrawing consent will not affect lawfulness of the processing based on consent before withdrawal. Where you have withdrawn your consent, in some cases personal information cannot be deleted, due to the technical reasons, from our systems and backups. Where this is the case, we will ensure that appropriate measures that prevent further use of such personal information are in place.
13.6 In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Cloud Data
13.7 If you would like to cancel your user account for any of our Products, you may do so by following the steps set out on the Cloud Services. However, we will continue to retain any Cloud Data for as long as the organisation on whose behalf you are accessing the Cloud Services continues to use them. That organisation is known as the controller of your personal information, and you should refer to their personal information protection policies and processes for information about the relevant retention period(s).
13.8 Otherwise, we will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, maintain security, and enforce our agreements. The timeframes for deletion of your organisation’s Cloud Data generally are specified in our customer terms, or our agreement with them.
14. HOW DO YOU COMMUNICATE WITH USERS?
14.1 We will use your email address to communicate with you, if you’ve given us the OK, and only for the reasons you’ve permitted. Emails by default are not disclosed with other users. This will not change how we contact you, as we always utilise your primary email address.
14.2 Depending on your email settings, TruCorp may occasionally send notification emails about new features, requests for feedback, important policy changes, or to offer customer support. We also send marketing emails, including ones featuring, services and products offered by our commercial partners, but only with your consent. There’s an unsubscribe link located at the bottom of each of the emails we send you.
14.3 Our emails might contain a pixel tag, which is a small, clear image that can tell us whether or not you have opened an email and what your IP address is. We use this pixel tag to make our email more effective for you and to make sure we’re not sending you unwanted email. If you prefer not to receive pixel tags, please opt out of marketing emails.
15. WILL YOUR PRIVACY POLICY CHANGE?
If there are material changes to this policy or in how we use your personal data, we will prominently post such changes prior to implementing the change. We encourage you to periodically review this policy to be informed of how we are collecting and using your information.
We keep this policy under regular review, for example, to reflect changing business circumstances and legal developments.
Although most changes are likely to be minor, it may change and if it does, these changes will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you when you next log on to use the applicable Cloud Services. Otherwise, any changes shall be applicable without further notice.
This version one of this policy was last updated on [May 2023] and historic versions can be obtained by contacting us.
