INTRODUCTION

One of CTG’s core functions is to take responsibility for the Duty of Care for all staff (which includes employees, consultants, local and international staff). This means being extremely well-informed of any risks, communicating risks, mitigating risks as far as possible and, finally, responding swiftly and appropriately in the event of any incidents. We consider that the work CTG carries out for the humanitarian community is highly important, but nothing comes before the safety of our staff.

CTG’s HR software is called Tayo. Tayo’s safety module provides security coverage to users who are employed to provide humanitarian services worldwide, especially in challenging environments where safety and security-related risk factors can adversely impact those who are involved. Tayo mobile app acts as an emergency communications tool that can be a lifeline during an emergency. Tayo adheres to and upholds CTG’s Data Protection Policy. It is consistently aligned with the privacy concerns of its users to ensure that personal sensitive information is absolutely protected and used only for the purpose of mitigating risks affecting user safety and security when on official missions.

GEOLOCATION

The geolocation function in Tayo needs to be allowed by the user accessing the app and is disabled by default if not granted access. Geolocation only collects data when the user enables this feature and allows access to their location data. When enabled, the device geolocation (GPS) data is stored even when the app is closed. This is done in the background. We use this information to provide you location-based functionality within the service, such as locating you or providing assistance to you in critical situations, or to notify you of local safety security information. Only authoriSed dashboard users can view your location information with a responsibility to uphold data privacy and as authorised by your organisation. The location information may be shared with emergency services in case of an emergency to provide assistance to you.

 

CONTACT INFORMATION

In addition to geolocation data, we collect contact information, such as your name, phone number, and email address, which may be required to contact you in case of an emergency. This information is collected only for the purpose of providing emergency assistance and is not shared with any third parties unless required by law.
