The evo Group of companies – CCTV Privacy Notice

We have installed Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) systems in some of our premises for public and staff safety, crime prevention and crime detection, and to monitor compliance with our employment policies and site rules. CCTV is also installed on the outside of some of our buildings for the purposes of monitoring building security and crime prevention and detection.

This policy explains how we use information collected via the CCTV camera systems. It also shows how long that information is kept and the circumstances in which we might disclose it to a third party.

Camera Systems We Operate

Our CCTV is used to capture, record and monitor images of what takes place at our sites, in real time. Cameras may be located externally in car parks and yards, or internally in offices, distribution centres and transport hubs. In all locations, signs are displayed notifying you that CCTV is in operation and providing details of who to contact for more information about the scheme. Cameras can be fixed or set to scan an area. In some circumstances, they can be operated remotely by controllers. Images are recorded and stored as digital information. Some CCTV systems include automatic number plate recognition software which is used to record details of vehicles entering or leaving the site. In limited circumstances, we may install temporary cameras to target a specific area of a site.

Why We Operate CCTV Cameras

We operate CCTV for the following purposes:

Health and safety of employees, visitors and other members of the public;
Prevention and detection of crime and anti-social behavior;
To monitor compliance with our employment policies and site rules.

Length of time CCTV footage is kept

CCTV recordings are generally held for 31 days from the time of recording. This period may vary, depending on the location and system in use.

Sharing CCTV footage with third parties

At our discretion, we may disclose personal data in response to valid requests from the police and other statutory law enforcement agencies. We will only disclose CCTV images to others for the purposes stated above. Before we authorise any disclosure, the police must demonstrate that the personal data is necessary to assist them in the prevention or detection of a specific crime, or in the apprehension or prosecution of an offender. We may also disclose personal data to third parties if required to by law. All requests are dealt with on a case-by-case basis to ensure that any such disclosure is lawful in accordance with the prevailing data protection legislation.

Security

We take security measures to protect against unauthorised access, improper use, alteration, destruction or accidental loss of your personal information including:

access to CCTV recordings is restricted to the security staff, HR, and management;
access to the information is permitted only for the purposes stated above;
ensuring CCTV recordings and other logs are stored securely and encrypted wherever possible.
