6. Closed circuit television (CCTV)

Where CCTV is used, we have identified and documented the potential impact on individuals’ privacy and have taken this into account when installing and operating the CCTV system. We regularly review whether CCTV is still the best security solution.

 

We will clearly inform individuals of our use of CCTV, and we only retain recorded CCTV images for long enough to allow for any incident to come to light (for example, for a theft to be noticed) and to investigate it.

 

We will respond to individuals or organisations making requests for copies of their images on our CCTV footage and will seek prompt advice from the Information Commissioner where there is any uncertainty. We securely store CCTV images, limit access to authorised individuals, and regularly check that the CCTV system is working correctly.

 

We have a nominated individual who is responsible for the operation of the CCTV system.

 

7. Telephone recording

Where telephone conversations are recorded, we will inform you of this at the beginning of the call together with our reasons for doing so and any objections should be raised immediately.

 

Telephone recordings will be stored securely for no longer than necessary and you have the right to request a copy where this is still available. The call recordings will only be passed to third parties where we have a legal right or legal obligation to do so.

You have a number of rights concerning the personal information we use, which you may ask us to observe. In some cases, even when you make a request concerning your personal information, we may not be required, or be able to carry out your request as this may result in us not being able to fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations under the lawful processing conditions under which we hold your data or because there is a minimum statutory period of time for which we have to keep your information. If this is the case, we'll let you know our reasons.

You can ask us to:

·       Provide a copy of your personal information

·       Correct or delete unnecessary or inaccurate personal information

·       Restrict or to object to the use of your personal information at any time

·       Object to any automated decision, including profiling which may have been used by insurers when underwriting your quotation. Where an automated decision has been made, we will advise you of this and of your rights

·       Provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to have your personal data transferred to another controller. This right only applies where our processing of your personal data is automated, and the processing took place initially with your consent or for the performance of a contract with you

·       Where we rely on your consent to use your personal information, you can withdraw that consent at any time. Where your consent is withdrawn, your previous consent will remain valid in respect of our use of your information prior to the date you withdrew it, or if any marketing material has been sent prior to you advising that you don’t want us to contact you again.

If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy notice or your data protection rights, please contact us using our details set out at the beginning of this privacy notice.

You also have the right to make an enquiry or to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you are unhappy with our use of your data, or if you think we have breached a legal requirement. Further details about the ICO are available at https://ico.org.uk.
