How do we use cookies?

We use cookies to do two things:

This data is your IP address and other usage data (e.g., date and time, name of the page called, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider). We need this information to enable you to use our website, for example by adapting the website to the technical requirements of your terminal device. This internet connection data may also be personal data.

Customer calls may be recorded for training purposes, but only with prior agreement by both the customer and Vypr. Retention timescales will be agreed on an individual basis.
