Privacy Policy

TJP365 Ltd t/a RingDesk · Last updated: June 2026

1. Who we are

RingDesk is an AI-powered communication service for businesses (handling inbound telephone calls and SMS text messages) operated by TJP365 Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 15457512), registered at 55-57 Station Road, Edgware, England, HA8 7HX.

In this policy "we", "us", and "our" mean TJP365 Ltd. You can contact us at privacy@ringdesk.co.uk.

2. What this policy covers

This policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share personal data when you:

  • Create and use a RingDesk account (account holders and authorised users)
  • Call or send a text message to a telephone number powered by RingDesk (callers and texters)
  • Visit our website or admin dashboard

If you are a business customer using RingDesk to handle calls and messages on your behalf, you are the Data Controller for personal data collected during those interactions. We act as your Data Processor. Our Data Processing Agreement (incorporated into your Customer Service Agreement) governs that relationship.

3. Personal data we collect

Account and billing data

When you sign up or subscribe, we collect:

  • Name and email address
  • Business name and address
  • Payment information (processed and stored by Stripe - we do not store card numbers)
  • Subscription and invoice history
  • Login activity and account settings

Calls, recordings and transcripts

When a caller dials a number managed by RingDesk:

  • The call audio is recorded
  • The recording is transcribed to text
  • The caller's phone number (CLI) is captured
  • Any information the caller provides during the call (name, enquiry content, booking details) is captured in the transcript

Callers are notified at the start of each call that they are speaking with an AI assistant and that the call may be recorded.

Text messages (SMS)

Where text messaging is enabled, when someone sends a text message to a number managed by RingDesk:

  • The message content is stored and shown to the account holder in the admin dashboard
  • The sender's phone number is captured
  • Where the account holder enables the AI text agent, our systems generate replies based on the business's configured content
  • Opt-out keywords (such as "STOP" and "START") are recorded so we can honour unsubscribe requests

Returning-caller history

Where the account holder enables returning-caller recognition for a desk, we retain a limited history of previous calls and messages linked to a caller's phone number, so the AI agent can recognise a returning caller and personalise the interaction (for example, greeting them by name). This feature is configurable per desk and can be disabled by the account holder.

Usage and analytics data

  • Call and message metadata: duration, timestamp, outcome (e.g. booking made, message taken)
  • Sentiment and intent classification derived from call and message content
  • Platform usage metrics (minutes used, API consumption) for billing and service improvement

Integrations you enable. Where you connect a third-party system (such as a booking, calendar, or CRM platform), we share relevant call, message, and booking data with that system at your instruction.

We do not sell personal data to third parties. We do not share personal data with advertisers or data brokers.

6. How long we keep your data

We apply automatic, time-based deletion across all data categories. Retention periods are enforced by a daily automated process.

7. Your rights under UK GDPR

If you are an individual whose personal data we hold, you have the following rights:

  • Right of access - you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to erasure - you can ask us to delete your personal data where there is no overriding legal reason to keep it.
  • Right to rectification - you can ask us to correct inaccurate personal data.
  • Right to restriction - you can ask us to restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances.
  • Right to portability - you can ask us to provide your data in a machine-readable format.
  • Right to object - you can object to processing based on legitimate interest.

Note for callers and texters: If you called or texted a number managed by RingDesk, the business that operates that number is the Data Controller for your data. Your rights request should be directed to that business in the first instance. We will assist any business in responding to data subject rights requests as required under our Data Processing Agreement.

Right to erasure - account holders: If you are a RingDesk account holder and wish to request deletion of your personal data ahead of our standard retention periods, contact us at privacy@ringdesk.co.uk with the subject line "Erasure request". We will action all verified erasure requests within one calendar month. Please note that billing and invoice records must be retained for the legally required period and cannot be deleted early.

  • TJP365 Ltd (Data Controller)

We will respond to all data subject requests within one calendar month of receipt, as required by UK GDPR. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

There is no charge for making a request. If a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee or decline to act on it - we will explain our reasons if so.

9. Security

We take the security of personal data seriously. Our technical and organisational measures include:

  • All data in transit is encrypted via TLS 1.2 or higher
  • Call recordings, transcripts and messages are stored encrypted at rest
  • Access to the platform requires authenticated login

The RingDesk admin app uses session cookies for authentication only. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies. No cookie consent banner is required for strictly necessary session cookies.
