When someone visits www.Mirus-it.com or any other alias to our website we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is then reviewed by a reverse IP lookup tool (Lead Forensics) which may allow us to see the name of the organisation who visited our website but not the specific individual, this information is used to proactively contact prospects to ensure they have been given all the information they need about our services.
When clicking on Social Media Features, such as the Facebook and Twitter links published on our sites, will re-direct you to these services. The Social Media provider may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting from on our site, and may set a cookie to enable their features to function properly. Social Media Features and Widgets are hosted by a third party. This Privacy Policy does not apply to these features. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy and other policies of the companies providing them.
You can read more about how we use cookies on our Cookies page.
We use a third party provider (HubSpot) to deliver our monthly newsletters. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies including clear gifs to help us monitor and improve our newsletter. For more information, please see HubSpot’s privacy notice, the link is further below.
Mirus uses a third party service to help maintain the security and performance of the Mirus website. To deliver this service it processes the IP addresses of visitors to the Mirus website.
We use a third party service, HubSpot, to publish our blog, which is hosted at Hubspot.com, which is hosted and run by HubSpot. We use a standard HubSpot service to collect information about users' activity on the site, for example the number of users viewing pages on the site, to monitor and report on the effectiveness of the site and help us improve it.

When you call Mirus we collect Calling Line Identification (CLI) information. We use this information to help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our services. We also record all calls made to and from our offices, this helps with training and development purposes for our team.
We use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt and protect email traffic. If your email service does not support TLS, you should be aware that any emails we send or receive may not be protected in transit.
We will also monitor any emails sent to us, including file attachments, for viruses or malicious software.
When we receive a complaint from a person we make up a file containing the details of the complaint. This normally contains the identity of the complainant and any other individuals involved in the complaint.
We will only use the personal information we collect to process the complaint and to check on the level of service we provide. We do compile and publish statistics internally showing information like the number of complaints we receive, but not in a form which identifies anyone.
We usually have to disclose the complainant’s identity to whoever the complaint is about. This is inevitable where, for example, the accuracy of a person’s record is in dispute. If a complainant doesn’t want information identifying him or her to be disclosed, we will try to respect that. However, it may not be possible to handle a complaint on an anonymous basis.
We will keep personal information contained in complaint files in line with our retention policy. This means that information relating to a complaint will be retained for two years from closure. It will be retained in a secure environment and access to it will be restricted according to the ‘need to know’ principle.
Similarly, where enquiries are submitted to us we will only use the information supplied to us to deal with the enquiry and any subsequent issues and to check on the level of service we provide.
When
Mirus offers various services to SMEs. We use a third party to deal with some publication requests, but they are only allowed to use the information to send out the publications.
We have to hold the details of the people who have requested services in order to provide them. However, we only use these details to provide the services they have requested and for other closely related purposes. For example, we might use information about people who have requested a publication to carry out a survey to find out if they are happy with the level of service they received. When people do subscribe to our services, they can cancel their subscription at any time and are given an easy way of doing this.
Mirus allow customers to provide feedback by clicking on a smiley face when a ticket has been completed, the customer can then add comments regarding the experience they have received which may include personal information. Information is not routinely removed from CrewHu as it is used to measure the service performed for Mirus customers. If you feel specific information should be removed this can be completed by emailing dataprotection@mirus-it.com
Further information on CrewHu’s GDPR compliance can be found here https://get-help-tnt.crewhu.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004983033-Crewhu-s-GDPR-Statement
Occasionally, we may need to use a third party to deliver part of a service, e.g. where an exceptional hardware repair is required that is outside the capabilities of our own teams, or where a courier delivery requires a specific individuals’ contact details . This may contain personal information, for example where the business is a sole trader. Mirus cannot therefore give any guarantees as to how the information will be used by those accessing it, but will vet all terms and conditions and apply all contractual and legal protections to prevent the misuse of personal information when we engage with third parties.
When businesses fill in their registration forms, they are asked to provide the contact details of a relevant member of staff. Mirus will use this for its own purposes, for example where we have a query about a service requirement, but will not put it on a publicly available register.
When we request information as part of the registration process, we make it clear where the provision of information is required by law and where it is voluntary.
We do not collect or process personal data captured by CCTV; Mirus
