7. DATA COLLECTION
Revenue Online Service’s (ROS) business to business (B2B) API requires the inclusion of a date/time field in the request files generated
by Thesaurus Payroll Manager. To ensure that this date/time is correct, the software looks up the date/time on a remote Azure server. The software also logs the following with that server:


a] the nature of the API call
b] the size of the payload (if applicable)
c] error codes returned by the ROS server
d] the activation key of the user making the request.

Apart from the correct date/time signature being retrieved, the above data helps us to monitor:

i. validation issues not addressed in our
software
ii. issues with the ROS server
iii. issues specific to particular users.

The data collected is used to monitor and improve the B2B API process for our customers. In no case does Thesaurus Software Ltd collect any identifiable or personal information about employers or employees processed by the User.
