SUMMARY OF LASTEST CHANGES

This policy was last updated on August 07, 2024 to reflect changes in Mitel’s relationship with RingCentral. 

 

MITEL PRIVACY POLICY

Mitel Networks Corporation and its affiliates, subsidiaries and entities that Mitel Networks Corporation operates (collectively, “Mitel”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting the security and privacy of your personal data and ensuring that we conduct our business in compliance with laws on privacy, data protection and data security.

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains Mitel’s collection, use, disclosure, and storage of personal data for which Mitel, as the “data controller”, determines the purposes and manner of the processing. We handle limited personal data as a “data controller” and any such personal data is typically information about employees of our customers and/or prospective customers. This policy does not apply to our UCaaS or hybrid cloud services. When we process personal data as part of a Mitel UCaaS solution or hybrid cloud service, we are processing data on behalf of and under instructions of our customers (as their processor or service provider) and we are bound by contractual obligations. Additional information about our processing of customer personal data in relation to our UCaaS or hybrid cloud service can be found in our Application Privacy Policy. Furthermore, this Policy also does not apply to job applicants or our employees. For applicant information see Mitel’s Privacy Policy for Candidates. Finally, this policy does not apply to the practices of other websites that we may link to, companies that we do not own or control, or to people that we do not employ or manage.

Whenever you interact with us on behalf of another individual or entity, such as by providing or accessing personal data about another individual, you need to obtain their consent (or have the legal authority without consent) to share any personal data you provide to us.

We encourage you to read this Policy so that you understand Mitel’s commitment to your privacy, and how you can contribute to that commitment.

For the purposes of EU/EEA and UK General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), Mitel Europe Limited is the data controller. Our contact details are set out at the end of this Policy.

If you are a CA resident, see Appendix A – California Supplement for a detailing of the categories of personal data we have collected, sold, shared, or disclosed and the categories of third parties with whom each category was sold, shared, or disclosed.

 

 

Sources of information we collect about you

We may collect your personal data:

  1. Directly from you, or another person at your organization, including through

    • interactions with our sales, customer support, technical support, professional services, marketing, and training teams;

       

    • ordering documents such as service or purchase orders;

  3. From third parties we work with, such as business partners, channel partners, sub-contractors, advertising networks, lead (and lead enrichment) providers, analytics providers, search information providers, social media providers or media companies and data brokers.

Personal data we collect

See also our Cookie and Tracking Technology Policy.

 

How we use your information

We use your personal data to support our business functions, such as fraud prevention, marketing, and legal functions as well as comply with any obligations we have to you or requests you have made of us. Examples of how we use your personal data include:

 

Summary of legal basis and purpose of processing

Data protection laws (including the EU and UK GDPR) set out a number of different reasons for which we may collect and process your personal data in certain circumstances. Where data protection Laws apply, the legal bases we rely upon include:

Sometimes more than one legal basis applies to the processing of the same piece of personal data, depending on the processing activity taking place.

 

Who we give your information to:

We may disclose your personal data to:

 

Where your information is stored

Personal data collected by us may be stored and processed in your region, in Canada, and in any other country where Mitel or its service providers operate. We maintain major data centers in the following countries: the United Kingdom, France, Canada and the United States. Where your information is stored by Mitel itself, typically, the primary storage location is in your region. If you are a UK or EU citizen, where we are permitted by law to do, personal data that we process in relation to you may be transferred and stored at, a destination outside the UK/EEA that may not be subject to equivalent data protection law. It may also be processed by staff situated outside the UK/EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. The EEA includes all EU Member countries as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.

Where your information is transferred outside the UK/EEA, we take steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is subject to appropriate safeguards, such as, where applicable, relying on a recognized legal adequacy mechanism and contracts, to help ensure your rights and protections travel with your data and that your personal data is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy. Please reach out to us using the contact information in the Contact Information section below if you want to receive further information about how we transfer personal data.

 

How we protect your information

Mitel takes precautions that are consistent with industry practices and data protection laws to ensure the security of your personal data. We strive to protect your personal data from loss, destruction, falsification, manipulation and unauthorized access or disclosure.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our Sites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. We will do our best to protect your personal data, but we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Sites; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use appropriate procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.

 

How long we keep your information

We keep your contact information, and our extrapolation of your organization’s procurements cycle and the likelihood that you and/or your organization will be interested in our products and services and/or those of any of our partners, until you ask to us delete it or unsubscribe to our marketing list. For clarity, even where you ask us to delete your contact information or opt-out of future marketing, we will keep your email and phone number on our email and phone opt-out lists.

Where we process personal data about you in conjunction with the supply of our products or services (e.g., contact data for technical or billing purposes), we retain that personal data for as long as necessary to provide the products and fulfill the transactions our clients have requested, or for other purposes such as complying with our legal or regulatory requirements, resolving disputes and enforcing our agreements.

The criteria used to determine our retention periods includes (i) whether your personal data is still needed to provide, maintain or improve the performance of our products and services, (ii) whether you have requested that your personal data be deleted, (ii) our retention period for the type of data at issue, (iv) where we are processing based on your consent, if you have withdrawn your consent, (v) if we have completed the processing for which we collected your personal information and (vi) legal requirements.

 

Your rights

You, or a verifiably authorized person acting on your behalf, have the right under certain circumstances to be provided with a copy of your personal data held by us.

Depending upon the data protection law applicable to you, you may have the following rights in certain circumstances. These rights may be exercised directly by you or indirectly via your authorized agent:

It is important to Mitel that the information we have is accurate and complete. We encourage you to keep your information with us up to date by sending a mail to - [email protected]

 

Your right to withdraw consent and/or object to marketing:

Where the processing of your personal data by us is based on consent (provided either directly to us or to a third party from whom we obtained your personal data), depending on jurisdiction you may have the right to withdraw that consent without detriment at any time by contacting us using the contact details at the end of this Policy.

You can opt out of receiving our marketing emails at any time by selecting the "unsubscribe" link at the end of all our marketing and promotional email communications to you or by sending an email to our Privacy team at [email protected]. Even if you opt-out, you will continue to receive transaction-related emails regarding products or services you have purchased. For telephone communications, we maintain a telephone Mitel specific “do-not-call” list. If you would like to be added to our “do-not-call” list you can email [email protected] or if we call you, let us know you prefer not to be contacted again.

How to exercise your rights

You (or your agent) can exercise the rights listed above at any time by contacting our Privacy Service Team by emailing [email protected], or where permissible at law, calling at 888 –257 –8624. You can opt out from the “sale” or “sharing” of your data by disabling the use of advertising cookies in the preference center in the bottom left-hand corner on our Sites (see additional notes about how to exercise this right above).

Prior to processing any of the aforementioned requests, Mitel will require proof of identity acceptable to Mitel such as photo ID (where required or permitted by law), proof of address, and/or security or other questions preestablished with you or based on information known to Mitel about you. Proof threshold will be based on information requested. In the case of a request made by an agent, Mitel will require verification of the identity and authority. Mitel will retain any such proof for a period time which we determine reasonably necessary. It may be necessary for Mitel to contact you to accomplish the verification of identity, and authority, if applicable.

If you have any further questions, comments or concerns about our privacy policies or practices, please contact our Privacy Service Team at [email protected]. Mitel Networks Corporation is committed to resolving any concerns you may have regarding this Policy quickly and efficiently.

If you are a UK or EU citizen, and if your request or concern is not satisfactorily resolved by us, you may approach your local data protection authority (see http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.html). The Information Commissioner is the supervisory authority in the UK and can provide further information about your rights and our obligations in relation to your personal data, as well as deal with any complaints that you have about our processing of your personal data.

 

Children's Privacy

Our Sites are intended for individuals 18 years of age and older. The Sites are not directed at, marketed to, nor intended for, children under 18 years of age. As a general rule, we do not knowingly collect any information, including personal data, from children under 18 years of age. If you believe that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under the age of 18, please contact us, and we will take prompt steps to delete the information.

 

Changes to this policy

Any changes we make to this Policy in the future will be posted on our websites and all related websites for additional languages and regions.
