If you apply for a job with us, we will collect, process and store the information you have sent us for recruitment-related purposes, such as contacting you or making you a job offer (if you make it through the selection process).

Our Support and Services
From time to time, if you request technical support from us, we may ask you to provide our technicians with software log files or system log files. You should make sure that you do not reveal any personal or other sensitive data to us when sharing the log files with us. In case it is impossible for you to remove personal data from the log files, we may get access to a limited scope of personal data that you control and process using our software (e.g. some email addresses of people within your organization) contained in the log files. We will use these log files to render technical support services to you and also to analyze performance of our products and improve them. We will delete the log files once issues that they document are fixed and they are no longer needed.
We may also require passwords in order to perform support functions. If this is required, we will not permanently record this but retain for as long as is required to resolve your issue. We advise that you temporarily change your password in advance of this and change your password after the issue has been resolved.

We may retain some username and password details for systems within your business or home for support purposes only. These will be for local systems and not relate to personal systems such as personal email accounts or account details for online systems which contain personal data such as banking and online accounts.

You can choose whether you want to retain the ScreenConnect client permanently or if you prefer to create a session for each support call. ScreenConnect is completely secure and encrypted and sessions are restricted to our own secure ScreenConnect accounts. We will only use sessions for support and maintenance purposes and with your consent.
