compliance and procedures
SmartRestore’s powerful advantage is its compliance with relevant legislation. This allows our call centre to operate unhindered from special consent and customer concerns regarding personal/private information. This is due to SmartResore’s classification as an “Operator” to the dealership
and having the following steps in place:
1
Legal compliance
SmartRestore is completely up to date and compliant with:
The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) and Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA)
An “Operator’s Agreement” including ‘Data Protection Agreement” is signed with the dealership granting us consent to interact with customers of the dealership.
A basic Service Level Agreement is also concluded with the dealership.
Our Information Officer is available to field any client concerns regarding legislation.
2
secure database
A highly secure database with minimal customer information is maintained to log any “do not call” customers, so that the customer’s right to refusal can be protected. Calls logs and basic customer information such as registration and vehicle details are only maintained for a limited period.
