How does UseAlto protect your personal data?
UseAlto has implemented a number of actions and technical and organizational measures to meet the requirements of the RGPD regarding the protection and security of personal data.
Although UseAlto is not legally obliged to do so, UseAlto has a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who can be contacted at the following e-mail address: dpo@getcockpit.io
For each new processing operation implemented by UseAlto, our DPO, as part of an internal prior approval procedure, checks its purpose and legitimacy with regard to the company's needs, but also and above all with regard to the risk of infringement of data protection and the privacy of the persons concerned.
With regard to the security measures implemented to protect personal data from any risk of violation, unauthorized disclosure or harm to its integrity, UseAlto has deployed all necessary means with its teams and service providers. For example, data processed on Cockpit is encrypted.
In particular, we strive to maintain 24-hour system monitoring to guarantee the security of the personal data entrusted to us.
Our sites are regularly scanned for security flaws and vulnerabilities, and we take precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of personal data.
When certain services require the use of a third party (subcontractor), UseAlto selects its service providers on the basis of strict security and confidentiality criteria defined in advance with regard to the issues at stake, and systematically requires its subcontractors to have a level of security guaranteeing an adequate level of protection for the personal data they process on our behalf.
Who receives the data we process?
Only persons authorized by UseAlto may access data, and then only within the scope of the tasks entrusted to them. The only potential recipients of personal data are authorized UseAlto employees and subcontractors offering a sufficient level of security. These include the Recall subcontractor, which enables UseAlto to record calls, the Gladia subcontractor, which enables UseAlto to generate transcriptions in several languages, the OpenAI subcontractor, which enables UseAlto to generate intelligent summaries of recordings, to automatically segment recordings into chapters, intelligent notation, and the Deepl subcontractor, which provides translations of recordings.
Within the framework of its commercial prospecting operations, UseAlto may share with a partner the names of corporate customers or prospects (legal entities) that they have in common. This does not include the identity and contact data of the contacts.
In the context of recruitment, UseAlto may share candidate information with external organizations involved in candidate recruitment (subcontractors), such as recruitment companies or SaaS recruitment software.
What are the retention periods for the personal data collected?
UseAlto undertakes to retain the personal data entrusted to it for periods limited to the provision of services or necessary to comply with its contractual or legal obligations.
In particular :
- Data relating to interactions (telephone calls and videoconferences): Duration of the contractual relationship when it concerns a UseAlto customer, or 3 years from the last interaction when it concerns a prospect. Intermediate archiving for 5 years from the end of the contractual relationship, then destruction.
- Customer data : Duration of contractual relationship. Intermediate archiving for 5 years from end of contractual relationship, then destruction. 13 years from last interaction. Intermediate archiving for 5 years, then destruction.
- Prospect data: 3 years from last interaction. Intermediate archiving for 5 years, then destruction.
- Recruitment data: For selected candidates, data is kept for the duration of the employment relationship and for 5 years after its termination. For non-selected candidates, data is kept for 2 years from the last contact. For unsuccessful candidates, data is kept for 2 years from the last contact. Recordings of candidate interviews are kept for as long as is necessary for the recruitment process.
- Navigation data: 25 months maximum from date of collection, then destruction.
- Identity document/information : The time strictly necessary to establish the identity of the person wishing to exercise his/her rights (only when necessary). Destroyed immediately after responding to the request.
Is your personal data transferred to countries outside the European Union?
With regard to data hosting and storage, UseAlto requires its hosting providers to host the data entrusted to it in France. UseAlto websites and databases are hosted by Google Cloud Partner (GCP) on servers located in France and the European Union.
If, for technical reasons or for specific needs related to the maintenance of certain applications, personal data is transmitted or made accessible to UseAlto's service providers located outside the European Union, UseAlto will first ensure that these service providers guarantee an adequate level of protection for such data and comply with the GDPR.
Thus, UseAlto only uses subcontractors with an adequate level of data security and protection, for example by supervising data transfers outside the EU through binding corporate rules or by adopting the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. Copies of these documents are available on request by writing to dpo@getcockpit.io.
