We only collect image data and restrict recording to sites where we have assessed that there is an increased likelihood of committing illegal acts e.g. theft, such as at our cash registers and entrance, without focusing on places where the privacy of the persons whose image is taken may be excessively restricted, including their right to respect personal data.
Recipients The material is only accessible by our competent/authorized personnel in charge of the security of the site. This material shall not be transmitted to third parties, without the consent of the subject, except in the following cases: (a) to the competent judicial, prosecutorial and police authorities where it contains information necessary for the investigation of a criminal offence involving persons or goods of the controller, (b) to the competent judicial, prosecutorial and police authorities when requesting data, lawfully, in the performance of their duties, and (c) to the victim or perpetrator of a criminal offence, in the case of data which may constitute evidence of the act.

In the event that we find an incident during this time, we isolate part of the video and keep it for up to one (1) month, with a view to investigating the incident and initiating legal proceedings to defend our legal interests, while if the incident concerns a third party we will keep the video for up to three (3) months more.
