CallerID is used by us for the following purposes, and we will
not use it for any purpose not listed here:
- Fraud Prevention: since you cannot access our services without
presenting CallerID, we always know where a phone call has come from.
We may use this to detect fraud or identity theft.
- Billing: CallerID may be used as a verification tool to establish
that correct accounts are being issued.
- Call Management: We may use CallerID to bring up information about
customers when we receive calls, to better send your call to the
correct department.
- Contacting You: We may use CallerID to contact you.
CallerID Implications: There are some implications that you may not have
thought of with respect to CallerID and your privacy:
- If you explicitly block CallerID by dialling 1831, we still receive it.
- If you dial from silent number (i.e. CallerID blocked by default), we still receive it.
- We will never tell you what CallerIDs your account has been accessed from.
- If you provide us with a list of 'your' numbers, we are authorised to tell you:
- "The account has only been accessed from within your list"
- "The account has been accessed from numbers that are not on the list"
Any other information (e.g. what those non-list numbers actually are)
is only obtainable by complying with s.282 of the Telecommunications Act
(this is usually in the form of a Warrant issued to the Police).
