If you need any further assistance, or you would like to know what data we hold for you please contact info@oraclefieldwork.com.

Looking after the personal information you share with us is very important, and we want you to be confident that your personal data is kept safely and securely and to understand how we use it.

What information we collect when you register on our database

How we use your information

We use your information to

• Invite you to market research studies
• Email confirmation of the research study
• Pay you for participating in the research study

Who we share your information with and why

We never sell on or pass on your information without your consent. When you have agreed to participate in a research study we must pass on your name and some very basic details to the research agency conducting the research (the people who do the interview/group discussion) and the research studio where the research is taking place (if it is face to face research) so they know who is coming along.

We never share our database or sell the information on there to any third party.

Our IT Systems

Our IT systems are covered by Stonegate IT Ltd on a hosted system. The following information is provided by Stonegate on the management and security of our IT systems and therefore our data security.

Physical Security

Both our data centre sites guard our hosted systems and data from every potential threat or disaster that could compromise the availability and safety of your business critical data.

The facilities in the data centres are state-of-the-art. Our ISO-certified, tier 3 data centres are fully owned and managed by our Data Centre Partner, UK Fast, enabling us to design, build and operate our facilities to industry best-practice standards. Plus, our data centres are secured to UK government IL4 standards.

Both have benefitted from millions of pounds of additional investment in power and cooling. This delivers an environment for your business data that is resilient and secure.

The data centres have control over security, power, cooling, access, maintenance, and do not allow unescorted access onto the data floors.

Virtual Security

• All transmissions over the Internet to and from your hosted desktop are encrypted. We use SSL encryption – the same as that used for online banking and secure payments.
• Additional protection is provided by enterprise grade firewalls on our network, with anti-virus software and intrusion detection on our systems to monitor and block any unauthorised access.
• Each customer’s data is partitioned in separate storage containers to ensure there is no possibility of unauthorised access.
• We use randomly generated passwords.
• The only people with access to your data, outside of your organisation, are our staff with restricted access provided to certain trusted software providers as and when necessary once authorised by the customer.
• All data stays in the UK.

With your business data never leaving the secure hosted desktop environment, there is no risk of it being stolen on a portable device such as a laptop.

Desktop hosting offers unparalleled data safety and security, which cannot be matched by a normal desktop PC set up.
