CCTV Privacy Policy
To ensure that you are confident that we are using CCTV and other similar devices responsibly we have noted our obligations below. In this policy “CCTV” relates to Closed Circuit Television, and other surveillance systems that capture personal data including body cameras, ANPR equipment, automated recognition technologies, vehicle trackers and dash-cams.
References to we, our, or us in this policy are to WREXRENT Limited.
Our Data Protection Officer (DPO) has overall responsibility for data protection compliance in our firm.
If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your personal information, please contact the DPO.
1.1 Before installing the CCTV we carried out a privacy impact assessment to ensure we were balancing our need for CCTV with the impact on your privacy.
1.2 We have installed CCTV to:
(a) prevent and detect crimes;
(b) identify, apprehend and prosecute offenders;
(c) dealing with any queries, complaints or enquiries;
(d) ensure the security of our and your property and that of our clients and contractors;
(e) ensure that our policies and procedures are being adhered to;
(f) to assist in any investigations or any disciplinary or grievance issue;
(g) monitor the security of our premises;
(h) monitor adherence to health and safety provisions and policies.
As well as being the purposes for which we use your personal information, all of the above are also legitimate reasons for us to use and store personal data.
Images captured by CCTV may be monitored and recorded and kept for up to 14 days after the recording was made. After this time to recording stored on the hard drive of our CCTV system will usually be overwritten.

We will first give you the opportunity to view the recordings that have been identified. We may be able to supply you with a copy of the recording unless that is not technically possible or to do so puts us to disproportionate effort.
