Please read this policy carefully.

Here at Reset Compliance Systems Ltd (Reset) we have always managed your data responsibly and that is never going to change. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. Our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions comply with General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and we are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Reset may change this policy occasionally by updating this page. You can access this document via our website anytime to view.

The following information shows why we collect your personal information, what information we collect, how it is used and collected, who we share your details with, what your rights are and for how long we retain your information.

Who Will We Share Your Personal Information With?

Due to the nature of Reset Compliance Systems Ltd, certain elements of personal information are shared with Reset registered Verifiers to allow the checking and verification of Reset Member Company and Reset Individual Cardholder competence.

This sharing of data is essential to meet our contractual obligations. The amount of information shared is very limited, highly restricted and all views of your details are logged on our system. No one can view your details without your permission.

Only limited personal information (please see below) is shared with a registered Verifier when a Reset Individual card is checked. This can only be done by a registered Verifier using the Reset website and/or when a Reset Individual Cardholder is logged on to a Mandatory Verifier Site using Reset Access self-service check-in systems.

Information shared with a Verifier when using the Reset system:

Type of Information Cardholder Report and Online Checks Reset Access Log-on Records Issue a Reset Access Job
Name Yes Yes Yes
Home address No No No
Email address No No No
Contact numbers No Yes No
Title No No No
Date of birth No No No
Age band Yes Yes No
A photograph Yes No No
Photographic proof of ID No No No
Qualifications and accreditations that you hold Yes Yes No
Your job title Yes Yes No
Name of your employer Yes Yes Yes
Their contact details Yes Yes No

Note: This and other personal information may be present on scanned certificates and as such, may be presented to verifiers when they are checking an individual profile and viewing personal certificates and accreditations.

A Reset Member Company profile can only be checked by a registered Verifier. This can be done either by email invitation, which you need to accept to share your details with the sender, or you control who has access to view your profile by issuing them with your unique Reset Member Company number.

Similarly, a registered individual Verifier can only view your Reset Individual profile if you share your Reset Individual Card number with them, meaning that you are always in control of sharing your personal information with Verifiers.

Data is only shared with the person checking the card, or in the case of Reset Access self-service check-in systems, the relevant site managers.

Reset Individual Cards are normally manufactured by Reset. As part of our Business Continuity Plan, there may be circumstances where we may need to use an external supplier. In these circumstances only the following personal information is shared with them: name, job title, photograph and where a company logo is printed your employer. This is the only information that is printed on the card. No other data is shared.

We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so.

How Long Will We Store Your Personal Information?

Your personal information is stored by Reset indefinitely unless you request us to remove your details. The information of past cardholders will not be used for marketing purposes but is retained to allow for easy future re-subscription without the need to send previously sent documents to Reset to be verified again. Please see below for further details on your rights.

The information used for creating log on reports produced when logging on to a Verifier site (name, photograph, employer, employer contact details, job title, age band, contact numbers and qualifications) are retained for a minimum of 18 years regardless of a request to be forgotten. This is for future reporting functions for Verifier sites to be able to meet their legal obligations to evidence that they had checked compliance and competence should the need arise.

Reset do not save any payment card details provided for transactions. If a further payment is needed, we will request your details again.
