Similarly, if Connecto is required to retain personal information under, for example, accounting law or other applicable law.

5. USE OF SECURITY CAMERAS

5.1.  Under current law, Connecto has the right to use surveillance equipment for the protection of persons and property. For this purpose, Connecto uses security cameras on its own premises, in connection with which we also process personal data.

5.2.  The use of security cameras is necessary, in particular, to ensure the security of Connecto’s premises, to prevent and deal with security incidents and to ensure the security of Connecto’s property and persons, including employees.

5.3.  The legal basis for the use of security cameras is Connecto’s legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

5.4.  Connecto’s surveillance equipment consists of cameras installed on the premises, which record the premises 24 hours a day (24/7), the security cameras are stationary and the cameras do not record sound.

5.5.  Connecto will use the cameras in the public outdoor areas of the Connecto premises. The purpose of the use of the cameras is to monitor activities in the Connecto outdoor areas.

5.6.  Security cameras are never installed in areas where Connecto employees, Connecto customers or other persons who may be in the line of sight of a security camera may have a reasonable expectation of privacy. There are no security cameras indoors.

5.7.  Where security cameras are used, a sign indicating the use of the camera, i.e. a sign with an image of the camera and/or the word “VIDEOVALVE (video surveillance)”, shall always be placed in the surveillance area of the security camera.

5.8.  As a general rule, Connecto will not disclose the recordings from the cameras to third parties, unless Connecto is entitled or obliged to do so under applicable law.

The 2-month retention period is necessary for the detection or investigation of any incident or offence that may have occurred during this period. Possible damages related to an offence in Connecto will normally be detected within 2 months after the offence occurred. In order to enable Connecto to take legal action against the offender in the event of a breach and to protect its rights, we need to retain the recordings from the cameras for up to 2 months after the recording is made.

5.12.  Any Connecto employee, Connecto customer or other third party who has been on Connecto’s premises and whose image has been recorded by Connecto has the right to access the recording containing his/her image. Connecto is unable to release a camera recording to an employee or third party if the recording has been deleted by the time the request for access to the recording is received. In addition, please note that in order to protect the rights and interests of other individuals who remain on the recording, we must alter their image so that they cannot be identified (blurring the image), and therefore we cannot provide access immediately.
