Exceptions to these general rules of confidentiality and anonymity during telephone calls are the following cases, and only the following cases

Imminent danger, with your consent (lifting of anonymity and confidentiality)

In the event that you are in imminent danger, particularly in the case of a suicide attempt, volunteers may ask you if you would like Nightline to call for help.

• What personal data is collected?
  If you make this request explicitly, your anonymity can be lifted and the volunteer will ask you for details to identify and locate you. This data may include your first and last names, the address of the place where you are located and details of how to access it (entry code...), your telephone number, details of the danger involved (medication taken, injuries...) and a personal contact. The choice to give or not to give this information is always up to you.

• For what usage ?
  The information collected to identify and/or locate you is only used to alert the emergency services.

• Where is my data stored?
  The information collected to identify and/or locate you is stored on an information sheet kept at the office of the branch in question.

• For how long?
  The information collected to identify and/or locate you is stored for one week before being deleted (destruction by shredding).
   
• Who has access to it?
  If you are in imminent danger, the personal data collected is passed on to the rescue services. The volunteers on duty on the evening of your call and the president of the board of directors of the antenna will also have access to it.

• On what legal basis?
  Your consent and the safeguarding of your vital interests. Nightline France only collects information enabling you to be identified and located at your explicit request, and only in the event that you are in imminent danger.
   

Abusive use of the service (breach of confidentiality

In the event that a caller misuses the service in order to voluntarily harm volunteers (harassment, insults, inappropriate behaviour, etc.), the confidentiality of discussions can be lifted within the association to allow volunteers to respond to this abusive behaviour.

• What personal data is collected?
  The data collected are those related to the abusive part of the call, as well as possible means for the other volunteers on duty to recognise the caller with abusive behaviour, in case of recurrence.
   
• For what purpose?
  This data is used to accompany volunteers who are victims of abusive calls and to warn other volunteers of the abuse they may be facing. The board of directors of the branch can also use this data to take a sanction, ranging from a warning to a ban from calling the line. In this case, the data is used to enable the volunteers to identify a caller with abusive behaviour who would try to call back in order to enforce the ban.
   
• For how long?
  In order to be able to identify cases of recidivism and to enforce a ban on calling the long-distance line, this data is kept for 5 years.
   
• Who has access to it?
  In the event of misuse of the service, the board of directors and volunteers of the branch concerned have access to the data collected.
   
• On what legal basis?
  Nightline France's legitimate interest in protecting its volunteers from abusive behaviour.

Training of volunteers (partial lifting of confidentiality) 

If the volunteer answering your call is in training, he or she may be assisted by another volunteer who will also be able to hear your call.

In this case, no personal data is collected, and the trainer will not intervene directly, but the confidentiality of your exchanges includes the trainer’s in addition to the volunteer’s answering you. 
 

Presence of people at Nightline France’s helpline 

Occasionally, non-volunteers (employees, partners, journalists) may be present on the premises during Nightline France's duty hours. These people will never hear your calls, but they may hear the volunteers' answers on the telephone.

In this case, no personal data is collected and the people on the premises cannot hear your calls, they only have access to the Nightline France volunteers’ responses.

They can also include the following information (only if the caller chooses to disclose this during the call) : the level and field of study ; the type of establishment (university, school, etc.) ; the caller's gender ; their nationality.
