Tolcap usage data:

- to report Tolcap usage to customers to enable them to evaluate Tolcap and enhance its usage in the organisation.

How we secure, store and retain your personal data
For the vast majority of Tolcap customers we store very little personal data.
We follow generally accepted standards to store and protect the personal data we collect, both during transmission and once received and stored,
including utilisation of encryption where appropriate.
How long do we keep data
We retain your data only if it is needed:
to allow you to access the Tolcap app;
to allow us to communicate with you about Tolcap;
to fulfil legal requirements;
or to protect our business interests.
Data retention periods might be:
- mandated by law, contract or similar obligations applicable to our business operations
- required for preserving, resolving, defending or enforcing our legal/contractual rights
- or needed to maintain adequate and accurate business and financial records.
Trial Accounts
When trial accounts expire, email addresses of account holders who never logged in are deleted.
If trial account holders did log in, their emails are retained for a period not exceeding 7 years.
This enables us to recognise and consider applicants who request a further trial, and preventing abuse of Tolcap's free trial system.
We review the trial data we hold several times a year
and retain personal information only where we deem it potentially still relevant to future communications with yourself,
or where it is vital for protection of our business interests.
Tolcap Pro
For Tolcap Pro accounts, when advised by the administrator that a user has left the organisation,
their access to the account is disabled. This is to prevent them using the account at the expense of their former employer.
Ex-users names may be retained for a period not exceeding 7 years.
Should a Tolcap Pro licence be terminated the access of all users listed to the account is disabled.
The email addresses of these users are retained for a period not exceeding 7 years.
Retaining this information:
enables us to protect our business interests by preventing users opening a trial account as a way of continuing to use Tolcap after closure of the account;
allows us to estimate how much return business comes from ex-users;
and allows us to re-engage appropriately with users who may have a temporary break from Tolcap use.
Data and third parties
We never pass customers personal data to third parties for their use.
We do employ commonly used third party software to: store, process and analyse data; communicate with Users; to process payments; secure our systems; and other business-related functions.
