Privacy Policy

The One Point offers a wide range of managed technology services including IT Support, Data Back Up, Cloud Hosted VoIP, Telecommunications, Call Recording Storage, Email, CRM, Mobile Apps, Mobile Phones, Mobile Device Management, Broadband and Internet Connectivity and Network Management.

To provide these services to your business and for us to operate effectively and provide you the best experiences with our products and services we need to collect and use certain information about you, or individuals who work within your business. We don’t need to collect too much from you, but what we do need is:

- Your business name and contact details (address, central telephone number, etc);
- Contact details of the individual we are liaising with at your business (name, telephone number, email address);
- Any other information an individual from your business chooses to tell us.

You provide some of this data directly, such as when you create an account, administer your organisation’s account, submit an enquiry via our website, meet with a member of our sales and marketing or engineering teams or contact us for technical support.

We may also get some of it by recording how you interact with our products by, for example, using technologies like cookies (see below regarding cookies).

Our website uses “cookies”, small text files that can be read by a web server in the domain that put the cookie on your hard drive. We may use cookies to store your preferences and settings, help you with signing in, provide targeted ads and analyse site operations. For further information visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

You can set your browser to not accept cookies and the above websites tell you how to remove cookies from your browser. However, in a few cases, some of our website features may not function as a result.

We also use IP Tracking to monitor businesses and organisations that visit our website. The information we receive from this service contains no personal information.

The One Point uses the data we collect to operate our business and provide you with the products and services we offer, which includes using data to improve our services and personalise your experiences. We also may use the data to communicate with you, for example, informing you about your account, security updates and new product information. We may also use and retain your data to assist our sales cycle (i.e. Financial Information or Credit Reference Agencies).

The legal basis we rely on are:

The services we provide to you are done so under contract. If you are unable to provide us with the required information to fulfil the contract, we may not be able to provide the service to you and the arrangement may be terminated.

GDPR allows us to use legitimate interests for direct marketing purposes. We have undertaken a legitimate interest assessment, which balances our business purposes for the processing against your right to privacy, and the final outcome justifies our use of legitimate interests for this purpose. For customers who have either enquired about our services with a view to purchasing them, or are existing customers using our services, or are lapsed customers who have used our services, it would not be an unreasonable expectation to receive information from us about our services, new products, events and news, etc.

This also complies with e-Privacy laws, currently the Privacy & Electronic Communication Regulations 2003, (which governs how a business can undertake electronic direct marketing) and allows us to use soft opt-in for email marketing for prospective and existing customers.

We always give you the opportunity to object to receiving marketing communications from us, when we first collect your personal data and with every marketing communication thereafter.

If we feel any request for contact would be better served by one of our sister companies (such as Think 360 Limited, N3i Limited and Loop Network Service Limited), we will pass your information to them to fulfil that request. For example: if an enquiry for our services is made and a more suitable company, based on location or expertise is identified, that company will make initial contact with you.

The One Point will not, unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing, transfer any data outside of the UK. All of our hosting, back up and staging servers are based within the UK.

The One Point will retain information for the period that any valid agreement or contract is in place or until instructed otherwise by a customer.
