What personal information will ITCS process on behalf of our customers
In order for us to deliver our services to customers, we may require access to information held on customer devices and servers, and as such will be classed as a data processor on their behalf. These services include monitoring user activity on customers’ networks which include prevention, detection and investigation of crime on their behalf. This processing may involve collecting information regarding users, including names, telephone numbers and IP addresses of computer equipment which we monitor, or is used to access customer systems. Where ITCS is responsible for processing customer data for backup and restoration, we would also be considered a processor of this information held in our private data storage centre. This processing activity would also include any work which we carry out on devices such as laptops and PC’s where we take an image backup of information held on that device. Any information held during such processing will be limited to the agreed activities and duration.
