People who call us

When you call Navigator Productions we collect Calling Line Identification (CLI) information. We use this information to help improve its efficiency and effectiveness.

People who email us

Any email sent to us, including any attachments, may be monitored and used by us for reasons of security and for monitoring compliance with office policy.  Email monitoring or blocking software may also be used. Please be aware that you have a responsibility to ensure that any email you send to us is within the bounds of the law.

People who make a complaint to us

When we receive a complaint from a person we make up a file containing the details of the complaint. This normally contains the identity of the complainant and any other individuals involved in the complaint.

We will only use the personal information we collect to process the complaint and to check on the level of service we provide.

We will keep personal information contained in complaint files in line with our retention policy. This means that information relating to a complaint will be retained for two years from closure. It will be retained in a secure environment and access to it will be restricted according to the ‘need to know’ principle.

Similarly, where enquiries are submitted to us we will only use the information supplied to us to deal with the enquiry and any subsequent issues and to check on the level of service we provide.

People who use Navigator Productions’ services

Navigator Productions provides online services for delivery of e-learning. We have to hold the details of the people who have requested the service in order to provide it. However, we only use these details to provide the service the person has requested and for other closely related purposes. For example, we might use information about people who have subscribed to an e-learning course, to conduct a survey to find out if they are happy with the e-learning course and level of service they received. When people do subscribe to our services, they can cancel their subscription at any time and are given an easy way of doing this.

E-Commerce

In order to process product purchases and provide online subscription services Navigator Productions’ needs to gather and retain appropriate personal information.

Where sensitive data such as credit card information is requested this will be handled over a secure internet connection. We do not store credit card details nor do we share customer details with any 3rd parties.

Job applicants, current and former Navigator Productions employees

When individuals apply to work at Navigator Productions, we will only use the information they supply to us to process their application and to monitor recruitment statistics. Where we want to disclose information to a third party, for example where we want to take up a reference or obtain a ‘disclosure’ from the Criminal Records Bureau we will not do so without informing them beforehand unless the disclosure is required by law.

Personal information about unsuccessful candidates will be held for 12 months after the recruitment exercise has been completed, it will then be destroyed or deleted. We retain de-personalised statistical information about applicants to help inform our recruitment activities, but no individuals are identifiable from that data.

Once a person has taken up employment with Navigator Productions, we will compile a file relating to their employment. The information contained in this will be kept secure and will only be used for purposes directly relevant to that person’s employment. Once their employment with Navigator Productions has ended, we will retain the file in accordance with the requirements of our retention schedule and then delete it.
