Our prospective customers

Scarlet may collect the following personal information in our early interactions with you, a prospective customer:

  • your full name and contact details (including email address and phone number);
  • your employer, role and job title; and
  • your signature.

  • your full name and contact details (including email address and phone number);
  • your employer, role and job title;
  • your education and training qualifications (including dates);
  • your job history and work experience (including dates); and
  • your signature.

Customers may also provide aggregated health information about their patients or the users of their medical devices. For example, information on the clinical characteristics of a population involved in a clinical investigation. Customers may also proactively inform us of incidents that concern specific individuals in the open entry fields of Scarlet’s software.

We do not request any health information. We strongly advise our customers against inputting any specific health information about themselves or their customers in Scarlet’s software.

Our prospective recruits

Scarlet may collect the following data from you in the recruitment or onboarding processes:

  • full name, home address, email address, phone number, date of birth;
  • training qualifications, job history, information from referees;
  • details of criminal convictions;
  • information about your identity and right to work, including passport, national insurance number, tax code and bank account details;
  • other personal information that may be required to assess whether you are a good match for the role; and
  • your signature.

How do we collect your data?

Our website visitors

We use a third party provider to collect your IP address, and trace it back to your connected entity, when you visit our website.

Any other personal data that we collect is provided by you directly when you complete the associated fields on our website.

Our prospective customers

We obtain this information directly from you, or representatives at your company.

Occasionally, in the case of full name and contact details, we might obtain this information from mutual connections (such as investors), who think that we might work well together, or from various tools that scrape publicly available information to identify those who would have a genuine interest in our business-to-business service offering (i.e. if you are or could be a prospective customer).

You might communicate other personal data to us over email, Slack or phone calls. You may also input it into our customer contract or other legal agreement.

Our existing customers

After you have been onboarded as a Scarlet customer, you (or representatives at your company), will continue to provide us with personal data – likely over email, Slack or phone calls.

You and your colleagues might also communicate the data to us by inputting it into Scarlet’s software.

Our prospective recruits

You directly provide most of this information to Scarlet – including over email, Slack or phone calls.

We also collect the data from third parties such as recruitment agencies, background checking companies or former employers, using the same mediums.

We may obtain the data from your public profiles available online including, for example, recruitment platforms.

How will we use your data?

Our website visitors

Scarlet collects your data so that we can communicate with you in relation to the services we provide or may provide.

This may include:

  • responding to your complaint or feedback;
  • sharing updates about our service, such as new markets and jurisdictions;
  • inviting you to events;
  • sharing thought leadership that might be interesting to you (for example, blog posts, articles, or appearances on panels or podcasts).

Our prospective customers

As with our website visitors, we collect your data to communicate with you in relation to the services we provide or may provide.

However, we may also process your data to:

  • give you information about the services we provide or may provide; and
  • determine whether you are eligible to receive Scarlet’s services.

Our existing customers

Scarlet collects your data so that we can:

  • conduct conformity assessment activities in relation to your business or your product(s); and
  • ensure that both you and Scarlet comply with the relevant regulations on an ongoing basis.

We may also process your data to communicate with you as if you were a website user, or prospective customer.

Our prospective recruits

Scarlet uses the data we collect in the recruitment and onboarding process to:

  • identify you as a possible new recruit for Scarlet;
  • make an assessment about your eligibility and suitability for the role;
  • communicate with you about the role;
  • agree a contract with you.

What is our legal justification for collecting your data?

Our website visitors

  • Legitimate interest: By visiting our website, we understand that you are interested in receiving additional information about Scarlet and its services, which gives us a legitimate interest in processing your personal data for the purpose of doing so. Subscribing to our marketing materials and communications will always be optional.

Our prospective customers

  • Contract: In seeking the services, you request that we take certain steps prior to entering a customer contract. We collect your personal data in that context.
  • Legitimate interest: You work at a company, in a role that indicates that you may be interested in hearing about our services. We process the information to assess whether you are both eligible and interested and, if so, to sign a contract with you.

Our existing customers

  • Contract: We collect some of the data to perform the job required of us under the contract.
  • Official authority: As an approved, notified or certification body, Scarlet is required to make assessments about the qualifications of some of our customer’s employees. Scarlet may collect your data to comply with our own regulatory requirements.
  • Legitimate interest: We may collect your data for another legitimate interest, such as to communicate with a colleague about the service we provide.

    Our prospective recruits

    • Contract: In responding to the job application, request that Scarlet take certain steps to enter into an employment agreement. Scarlet collects your data in that context.
    • Legitimate interest: Scarlet requires the information to assess whether you are eligible for the job and, if so, to sign an employment agreement with you.

      How do we store your data?

      Scarlet stores very little of your personal data itself, but instead engages well-known and verifiable third party processors to do so on Scarlet’s behalf.

      In so doing, Scarlet can ensure that your personal data is:

      • encrypted at rest;
      • protected by two factor authentication;
      • backed up regularly; and
      • only held by data storage providers who are compliant with state of the art information security standards and practice.

      The following entities may be involved in the storage and processing of your personal data:

      • Google;
      • Slack;
      • Attio;
      • Github;
      • VS Code;
      • Amazon Web Services;
      • Xero;
      • HSBC;

      • Granola;
      • Krisp;
      • NordVPN;
      • Employers of record; and
      • Other external advisors (such as lawyers and accountants).

      The information security protections implemented by these entities are reviewed and documented in [Record: Third-Party IT Provider Review].

      We keep your personal information only as long as we need it. In most cases, we deem this to be 7 years from the day that you stop interacting with Scarlet (which may also be the day that you stop using our services).

      In the case of potential recruits, we only store your personal information for 3 years following our last contact with you.

      We will then dispose of your information by deleting it from our systems, or by ensuring that it is sufficiently aggregated or anonymised.

      How do we share your data?

      To the extent that it is relevant and necessary, Scarlet may share the data it collects with Scarlet’s people (that is, its employees, directors, agents and contractors). Scarlet’s people are based in the UK, EU, and US.

      We may also share your data with third parties for the purpose of intra-group financing and administration, which may include our investors (and prospective acquirers), external legal and financial advisors and our Employers of Record.

      Your data may be shared with government authorities, regulators and law enforcement officials if needed for the legal protection of our legitimate interests in compliance with applicable laws.

      What are your data protection rights?

      Scarlet would like to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every Data Subject is entitled to the following:

      • The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data from Scarlet. We may charge you a small fee for this service.
