pro-Forms Privacy Policy

1.            Who we are

We are Resource Track UK Limited, trading as pro-Forms®. Our company number is 05781330 and our registered office is at 66 Fellows Lane, Harborne, Birmingham B17 9TX. Our VAT number is 883319108.

We provide a cloud-based field service management and digital forms platform (the Platform), accessible via our website at https://www.pro-forms.co.uk (our Website) and through our mobile applications (our Apps). Our Platform allows our customers to create, manage and process digital forms, manage field service operations, track assets, and manage digital staff profiles.


We take your privacy seriously. This privacy policy explains:

·         who we are

·         how and why we collect, store, use and share your personal data

·         your rights in relation to your personal data

·         how to contact us or a relevant regulator if you have a complaint


We will never sell or rent your personal data to any third party for their own marketing purposes. Other than as described in this privacy policy, we will not use or disclose your personal data unless you have specifically approved us to do so.


This privacy policy is divided into the following sections:

·         Controller and Processor – our roles

·         Personal data we collect about you

·         Personal data we process on behalf of our customers

·         How your personal data is collected

·         How and why we use your personal data

·         Marketing

·         Who we share your personal data with

·         International transfers

·         Cookies and similar technologies

·         How long we keep your personal data

·         Your rights

·         Keeping your personal data secure

·         How to complain

·         Changes to this privacy policy

·         How to contact us

 

2.            Our role as a controller or processor

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), we act in two different capacities depending on how you interact with us.

When we are a controller

In most cases, we are the controller of personal data collected through our Website and Platform. This means we decide how and why your personal data is used. We are the controller when:

·         you visit our Website

·         you sign up for a free trial or contact us with an enquiry

·         you subscribe to our marketing communications

·         we manage our customers’ business contacts for account administration and billing

When we are a processor

In some cases, we act as a processor on behalf of our customers. Our customers use our Platform to collect, store and process personal data about their own employees, field workers, customers, members of the public and other individuals. When they do this, our customers are the controllers of that personal data, and we are a processor acting on their instructions. The customer – not us – decides what personal data is collected, how it is used, and how long it is kept.

In these cases:

·         The customer’s own privacy policy (not this one) explains how your personal data is handled. That policy will normally be available on the customer’s website or within the forms and apps they provide.

·         Our processing of that personal data is governed by our agreement with the customer.

·         If you have questions or wish to exercise your data subject rights in relation to personal data held on a customer’s account, you should contact that customer directly in the first instance.

Please note that even where we collect personal data directly from you in the course of providing the Platform to our customer (for example, if you enter your details into a form as an employee of our customer), we are still processing that personal data on behalf of our customer. The customer remains the controller, and the bullets above continue to apply.

3.            Personal data we collect about you (as controller)

The personal data we collect about you depends on how you interact with us. We may collect and use the following:

Category

Examples

Identity and contact data

Your name, email address, telephone number, company name and job title

Account data

Your username, login credentials, account preferences and settings

Transaction data

Billing information, payment card details (processed by our payment provider), subscription history

Communication data

Records of your correspondence with us (emails, support tickets, call recordings if applicable)

Usage data

Information about how you use our Website and Platform, including pages visited, features used, time spent, and navigation patterns

Technical data

IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, screen resolution, time zone setting, and approximate location derived from your IP address

Marketing data

Your marketing preferences and whether you have opened or interacted with our marketing emails

We do not intentionally collect any special category personal data about you (such as data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, or biometric data). Nor do we collect personal data relating to criminal convictions or offences.

We also collect, use and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data. Aggregated data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law because it does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a particular feature. If we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal data so that it can identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data used in accordance with this privacy policy.

Our Website and Platform are not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13.

You should not supply any other person’s personal data to us unless you have their permission or are otherwise authorised to do so. If you provide personal data about another person (for example, if you are an administrator adding users to your organisation’s account), you are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to do so and that the individual is aware of the information in this privacy policy.

4.            How your personal data is collected

We collect personal data about you:

·         Directly from you, when you:

o   sign up for a free trial or create an account

o   fill in a form on our Website

o   contact us by email, telephone or post

o   subscribe to our marketing communications

o   provide feedback or respond to a survey

·         Indirectly through your use of our Website and Platform, using cookies and similar technologies

·         From third parties, such as our payment processor (transaction confirmation data)

5.            How and why we use your personal data

Under data protection law, we must have a valid lawful basis for each purpose for which we use your personal data. The lawful bases we rely on are:

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis that allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

 

6.            Marketing

We may use your personal data to send you information about our products, services, special offers and promotions. We will only do this where:

·         you have purchased or negotiated to purchase our services and we are marketing similar products or services (relying on our legitimate interests); or

You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by:

·         clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any marketing email

As controller

We are based in the United Kingdom. Your personal data is generally stored and processed within the UK.

Where we transfer personal data outside the UK, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

·         an adequacy decision by the UK government confirming that the destination country provides an adequate level of data protection; or

·         the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, as applicable.

Our Platform includes an AI assistant feature (“Paige”) that uses third-party AI models (Google Gemini and/or OpenAI). These AI models are hosted outside the UK. If our customers enable or use the Paige feature, data from the page they are viewing within the Platform may be transmitted to the AI model provider for processing and the response returned to the customer.

Right

What it means

Access

The right to ask us for copies of your personal data (commonly known as a “subject access request”)

Rectification

The right to ask us to correct any personal data you think is inaccurate or incomplete

Erasure

The right to ask us to delete your personal data in certain circumstances (also known as the “right to be forgotten”)

Restriction

The right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances

Portability

The right to ask that we transfer the personal data you gave us to another organisation, or to you, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format

Objection

The right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including where we are relying on legitimate interests (such as for marketing)

Withdraw consent

Where we are relying on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdraw consent

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to exemptions.

No fee usually required

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.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other 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.

Time limit to respond

We will respond to any valid request within one month. If your request is particularly complex, we may extend this by a further two months, in which case we will let you know.

How to exercise your rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at:

Email: contact@pro-forms.co.uk

Post: Data Protection, Resource Track (UK) Limited, 66 Fellows Lane, Harborne, Birmingham B17 9TX

If our customer is the controller

If your personal data is processed by us as a processor on behalf of one of our customers, and you wish to exercise your data subject rights, you should contact that customer directly. We will assist our customers in responding to data subject requests as required by our Data Processing Agreement.

12.          Keeping your personal data secure

We take the security of your personal data seriously. We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.

Our security measures include:

·         Encryption: 256-bit SSL encryption for browser access; AES 128-bit encryption for mobile app data; encrypted data in transit

·         Hosting: UK-based data centre with physical security (key-fob access, CCTV monitoring)

·         Backups: Daily database backups with off-site copies

·         Access controls: Role-based access permissions; two-factor authentication for administrative users

·         Testing: Regular security testing and vulnerability scanning

We also require our sub-processors and service providers to implement appropriate security measures.
