Data Protection & Privacy Policy

Qcom is committed to ensuring the security and protection of the personal information that we process and to providing a consistent approach to data protection that complies with all relevant legislation and regulation.

People who use Qcom services (Qcom Partners)

We need to process and hold personal details when a service is requested from Qcom in order to provide that service. This information is stored in Qcom’s service management software, Access SME.

We only use these details to provide the service requested and for other closely related purposes. For example, we might use the information to carry out a customer satisfaction survey to find out whether you were happy with the service received.

People who use Qcom services (End Users)

When an end user calls Qcom’s helpdesk, or when a Qcom Partner provides us with an end user’s details, we will process and store this information for the purpose of providing a contracted service. This information may include a telephone number, email address and site address. The data will be stored securely within our service management software, Access SME.

Where necessary, we may pass these details to approved Qcom partners in order to carry out the request. These providers are compliant with all relevant legislation and regulation and will only use personal details on Qcom’s behalf to deliver the required service.

Visitors to the Qcom website

When someone visits www.qcom.co.uk, we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect information such as the number of visitors and their behaviour patterns. We do this to improve the performance of our website over time.

The information collected is not used to identify individuals, nor do we allow Google to identify individuals.

There are areas of our website where we collect personally identifiable information, such as the Contact Us page. We will make it clear when we are collecting this information and explain how it will be stored and used.

Use of cookies by Qcom

When you visit the Qcom website, cookies and similar technologies may be placed on your device. We use these technologies to support the operation of the website, understand how visitors use it and improve our website and marketing.

Some of these technologies are provided by third parties, including Google Analytics and LinkedIn. More information about these services and how they use data is provided elsewhere in this policy.

A cookie notice is displayed when you first visit our website. By selecting “OK, got it”, you agree to our use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the website work. Guidance is available at www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies.

Lead Forensics

We use Lead Forensics to help us understand which organisations visit our website and how they use it. When someone visits our website, Lead Forensics processes their IP address and technical and usage information, matching business IP addresses against its business database. This may identify the organisation associated with a visit, but not the individual visitor.

We use this information for website analysis, marketing and business development, based on our legitimate interests in understanding interest in our services and developing relevant business relationships. Lead Forensics acts as our data processor and processes information on servers in the UK and EU.

You may object to this processing by contacting outsourcing@qcom.co.uk. Further information is available in the Lead Forensics Data Compliance statement.

LinkedIn

We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag, a tracking technology provided by LinkedIn Corporation, to help us measure the effectiveness of our LinkedIn advertising campaigns and understand how visitors interact with our website.

When you visit our website, the LinkedIn Insight Tag may collect and process:

  • Your IP address.
  • Device and browser characteristics.
  • Page views and interactions on our website.
  • Your LinkedIn user ID, if you are logged into LinkedIn.

This data is encrypted, anonymised and stored by LinkedIn for up to 180 days before being deleted.

We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to:

  • Analyse website traffic and audience demographics.
  • Measure the success of our LinkedIn advertising campaigns.
  • Serve personalised advertising based on your LinkedIn activity.

This helps us improve our marketing and provide more relevant content to users.

The processing of your data through the LinkedIn Insight Tag is based on your consent, in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

You can control how LinkedIn processes your data by adjusting your LinkedIn advertising preferences or disabling cookies through your browser settings.

For more information, please see LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy.

Email marketing

We store customer data in our secure CRM system, Workbooks. We may store your name, employer, email address and telephone number. We may contact you by email with information about Qcom’s services, service updates and special offers.

If you no longer wish to receive marketing emails, you can select the unsubscribe option in any of our marketing emails or contact outsourcing@qcom.co.uk. You may also use this address to ask us to delete personal information that we hold about you.

We use third-party email software, Mailchimp, to deliver our marketing campaigns and monthly e-zines. Our marketing emails may contain a single, campaign-specific web beacon pixel that tells us whether an email has been opened and whether links within it have been selected.

We may use this information to understand which emails are more relevant to recipients and improve our email content over time. The pixel will be deleted when you delete the email.

For more information, please see Mailchimp’s privacy notice.
