Sport Pesa Racing Point Formula One Team

As a specialist in Aviation and Motorsport Comms technology, Voip Unlimited are a supplier to many Formula One teams. We take our involvement with Formula One a step further by sponsoring Sport Pesa Racing Point, these include providing services at key events including their Grand Prix Summer party and VIP days. The sponsorship comes after a long relationship and bringing the team into new speeds with superfast connectivity services. We provide MPLS & VPN services connecting the team’s wind tunnel in Europe back to their HQ in Silverstone. In the high-octane industry of Formula One racing, mere tenths of seconds can separate winners from losers and so Voip Unlimited pride ourselves on our ability to be the sought after F1 provider.

The Brain Tumour Charity

For over 2 years, Voip Unlimited have supported The Brain Tumour Charity being at the forefront of the fight to defeat brain tumours. We transformed the Charity’s communications systems in their HQ by replacing their phone system with our Hosted Voip Exchange system as well as donating VoIP Handsets, and installing a significantly faster data line (100Mbs Ethernet), allowing the charity to run their systems to the optimum level. The Brain Tumour Charity relies on its Communication services not only to raise awareness, but also to receive donations, provide support and offer information services on brain tumours – the biggest cancer killer of children and people under the age of 40 in the UK. They fund pioneering research to increase survival, raise awareness of the symptoms and effects of brain tumours to reduce diagnosis times, and provide support to everyone affected to improve quality of life.

Who we share your personal information with:

We may need to share personal information with other parties in order to provide you with the product or service that you’ve requested (e.g. with our Channel Partners, Wholesalers, Technology Solution Providers and Installation companies). Where we do, these companies must follow our instructions and respect data privacy laws and regulations.

We may also share information about you with law enforcement agencies and other organisations, because we have a legitimate interest in protecting our network and business from attacks; and to prevent, detect and investigate crime.

We may also share information with other organisations (such as other communications providers and banks) who have the same legitimate interests. Doing this helps make sure our network functions properly and helps protect you from attacks.

We, and other organisations, may also access and use information recorded by fraud prevention agencies in various countries.

Please Note:
• In all cases, we only share your personal information in line with the Data Protection Act 2018,
and other applicable laws.

How long we keep your personal information:

How long we keep your information varies according to the information we collect, and what it’s used for, but we only keep it as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Specifically, the first time you buy products or services from us, we will keep your identity validation, and authentication information for 6 months.

Call recordings linked to your account are only retained for the duration of your contract, and are immediately deleted on the closure of your account. Any downloads of, or requests for, call recordings must be completed before the ‘Services no longer required’ date, as specified on your cancellation form.

Other contract-based information is only held for the duration of the contract – plus 6 months, to allow for effective closure of your account.

CVs, resumés etc are only held until a decision is made on your application – after which those from unsuccessful candidates are destroyed, and those from successful candidates are added to their personnel file.

In some cases, there are legal requirements to keep data for a longer minimum period than we would normally require (e.g. HMRC, Ofcom and/or Home Office purposes), in which case we’ll keep it for that longer period.

How we secure your personal information:

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent any unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial controls to safeguard and secure the information we collect.

We hold your data on our secure servers in Poole & London; and only process your data in the UK/EU; and do not transfer it to any other country, unless required for contractual fulfilment of international services or system development and support.

Where we capture debit or credit card information, we also use operational controls required by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS).
