What is our legal basis for processing your personal data?

Personal data (article 6 of GDPR)

Our lawful basis for processing your general personal data may be one or more of the following:

Consent of the data subject;

You have actively consented with a positive opt-in. We maintain a record of your consent.

Processing necessary for the performance of a contract with the data subject or to take steps to enter into a contract

  • We have a contract with the individual and we need to process their personal data to comply with our obligations under the contract.
  • We haven’t yet got a contract with the individual, but they have asked us to do something as a first step (eg provide a quote or make an offer to purchase something) and we need to process their personal data to do what they ask.
     
  • When a data subject makes an online purchase, a controller processes the address of the individual in order to deliver the goods. This is necessary in order to perform the contract.

Processing necessary for compliance with a legal obligation

For example:

- An employer needs to process personal data to comply with its legal obligation to disclose employee salary details to HMRC. The employer can point to the HMRC website where the requirements are set out to demonstrate this obligation. In this situation it is not necessary to cite each specific piece of legislation.

- A court order may require you to process personal data for a particular purpose and this also qualifies as a legal obligation.

- For instance the company has a legal requirement to record and notify HMRC of all sales under the EC Sales list.

Processing necessary to protect the vital interests of a data subject or another person

For example:

An individual is admitted to the A & E department of a hospital with life-threatening injuries following a serious accident at work. The disclosure to the hospital of the individual’s medical history is necessary in order to protect his/her vital interests.

Processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller

Processing necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of the data controller or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of the data subject

- We have a legitimate interest in marketing our goods to existing customers to increase sales’.

The GDPR does not have an exhaustive list of what purposes are likely to constitute a legitimate interest. However, the recitals do say the following purposes constitute a legitimate interest:

  • fraud prevention;
  • ensuring network and information security; or
  • Indicating possible criminal acts or threats to public security.

Therefore, if you are processing for one of these purposes you may have less work to do to show that the legitimate interests basis applies. 

The recitals also say that the following activities may indicate a legitimate interest:

  • processing employee or client data;
  • direct marketing; or
  • Administrative transfers within a group of companies.


Special categories of personal data (article 9 of GDPR)

Our lawful basis for processing your special categories of data:

  • Explicit consent of the data subject
  • Processing necessary for carrying out obligations under employment, social security or social protection law, or a collective agreement
  • Processing necessary to protect the vital interests of a data subject or another individual where the data subject is physically or legally incapable of giving consent
  • Processing carried out by a not-for-profit body with a political, philosophical, religious or trade union aim provided that the processing relates only to members or former members (or those who have regular contact with it in connection with those purposes); and there is no disclosure to a third party without consent
  • Processing relates to personal data manifestly made public by the data subject
  • Processing necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or where courts are acting in their judicial capacity
  • Processing necessary for reasons of substantial public interest on the basis of EU or Member State law
  • Processing necessary for reasons of preventative or occupational medicine, for assessing the working capacity of an employee, medical diagnosis, the provision of health or social care or treatment or management of health or social care systems and services on the basis of EU or Member State law or a contract with a health professional
  • Processing necessary for the reasons of public interest in the area of public health
  • Processing necessary for archiving purposes in the public interest, or scientific and historical research purposes or statistical purposes

You are under no statutory or contractual requirement or obligation to provide us with your personal data. But failure to do so may have the following consequences: we may be unable to fulfil our contract with you (for example, if you do not provide your address we may not be able to arrange a collection or a delivery to you.)

CCTV Policy

Introduction

English Salvage Ltd (The Company) uses closed circuit television (CCTV) images to provide a safe and secure environment for employees and for visitors to the Company’s business premises, such as clients, customers, contractors and suppliers, and to protect the Company’s property.

This policy sets out the use and management of the CCTV equipment and images in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the CCTV Code of Practice.

The Company’s CCTV facility records images only.  There is no audio recording i.e. conversations are not recorded on CCTV (but see the section on covert recording).

Purposes of CCTV

The purposes of the Company installing and using CCTV systems include:

  • To assist in the prevention or detection of crime or equivalent malpractice.
  • To assist in the identification and prosecution of offenders.
  • To monitor the security of the Company’s business premises.
  • To ensure that health and safety rules and Company procedures are being complied with.
  • To assist with the identification of unauthorised actions or unsafe working practices that might result in disciplinary proceedings being instituted against employees and to assist in providing relevant evidence.
  • To promote productivity and efficiency.

Location of cameras

Cameras are located at strategic points throughout the Company’s business premises, principally at the entrance and exit points.  The Company has positioned the cameras so that they only cover communal or public areas on the Company’s business premises and they have been sited so that they provide clear images.  No camera focuses, or will focus, on toilets, shower facilities, changing rooms, staff kitchen areas, staff break rooms or private offices.

All cameras (with the exception of any that may be temporarily set up for covert recording) are also clearly visible.

Appropriate signs are prominently displayed so that employees, clients, customers and other visitors are aware they are entering an area covered by CCTV.

Recording and retention of images

Images produced by the CCTV equipment are intended to be as clear as possible so that they are effective for the purposes set out above.  Maintenance checks of the equipment are undertaken on a regular basis to ensure it is working properly and that the media is producing high quality images.

Images may be recorded either in constant real-time (24 hours a day throughout the year), or only at certain times, as the needs of the business dictate.

As the recording system records digital images, any CCTV images that are held on the hard drive of a PC or server are deleted and overwritten on a recycling basis and, in any event, are not held for more than [one month) Once a hard drive has reached the end of its use, it will be erased prior to disposal.

Images that are stored on, or transferred on to, removable media such as CDs are erased or destroyed once the purpose of the recording is no longer relevant.  In normal circumstances, this will be a period of (one month).  However, where a law enforcement agency is investigating a crime, images may need to be retained for a longer period.

Access to and disclosure of images

Access to, and disclosure of, images recorded on CCTV is restricted.  This ensures that the rights of individuals are retained.  Images can only be disclosed in accordance with the purposes for which they were originally collected.

The images that are filmed are recorded centrally and held in a secure location.  Access to recorded images is restricted to the operators of the CCTV system and to those line managers who are authorised to view them in accordance with the purposes of the system.  Viewing of recorded images will take place in a restricted area to which other employees will not have access when viewing is occurring.  If media on which images are recorded are removed for viewing purposes, this will be documented.

Disclosure of images to other third parties will only be made in accordance with the purposes for which the system is used and will be limited to:

  • The police and other law enforcement agencies, where the images recorded could assist in the prevention or detection of a crime or the identification and prosecution of an offender or the identification of a victim or witness.
  • Prosecution agencies, such as the Crown Prosecution Service.
  • Relevant legal representatives.
  • Line managers involved with Company disciplinary and performance management processes.
  • Individuals whose images have been recorded and retained (unless disclosure would prejudice the prevention or detection of crime or the apprehension or prosecution of offenders).

The Managing Director of the Company (or another senior director acting in their absence) is the only person who is permitted to authorise disclosure of images to external third parties such as law enforcement agencies.

All requests for disclosure and access to images will be documented, including the date of the disclosure, to whom the images have been provided and the reasons why they are required.  If disclosure is denied, the reason will be recorded.

Individuals’ access rights

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), individuals have the right on request to receive a copy of the personal data that the Company holds about them, including CCTV images if they are recognisable from the image.

If you wish to access any CCTV images relating to you, you must make a written request to the Company’s Data Protection Officer. Your request must include the date and approximate time when the images were recorded and the location of the particular CCTV camera, so that the images can be easily located and your identity can be established as the person in the images.  The Company will respond promptly and in any case within 40 calendar days of receiving the request.

The Company will always check the identity of the employee making the request before processing it.

The Data Protection Officer will first determine whether disclosure of your images will reveal third party information as you have no right to access CCTV images relating to other people.  In this case, the images of third parties may need to be obscured if it would otherwise involve an unfair intrusion into their privacy.

If the Company is unable to comply with your request because access could prejudice the prevention or detection of crime or the apprehension or prosecution of offenders, you will be advised accordingly.

Covert recording

The Company will only undertake covert recording with the written authorisation of the Managing Director (or another senior director acting in their absence) where there is good cause to suspect that criminal activity or equivalent malpractice is taking, or is about to take, place and informing the individuals concerned that the recording is taking place would seriously prejudice its prevention or detection.

Covert monitoring may include both video and audio recording.

Covert monitoring will only take place for a limited and reasonable amount of time consistent with the objective of assisting in the prevention and detection of particular suspected criminal activity or equivalent malpractice.  Once the specific investigation has been completed, covert monitoring will cease.

Information obtained through covert monitoring will only be used for the prevention or detection of criminal activity or equivalent malpractice.  All other information collected in the course of covert monitoring will be deleted or destroyed unless it reveals information which the Company cannot reasonably be expected to ignore.

Staff training

The Company will ensure that all employees handling CCTV images or recordings are trained in the operation and administration of the CCTV system and on the impact of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) with regard to that system.

Implementation

Pru Woods is responsible for the implementation of and compliance with this policy and the operation of the CCTV system and they will conduct a regular review of the Company’s use of CCTV.  Any complaints or enquiries about the operation of the Company’s CCTV system should be addressed to them.
