Clouds Express Limited (the Company) is committed to ensure that the collection and use of such CCTV recording is fair and that it complies with the requirements of the relevant legislation.
This Policy applies to all of the Company’s CCTV System. The Company’s CCTV System may capture images and audio recordings. CCTV recordings are monitored and retained in strict accordance with this Policy.

- Processing of collected information
Personal data collected in the course of the CCTV recording activities will be processed fairly and lawfully in accordance with the current Data Protection Act and the European General Data Protection Regulation.
The Company’s legitimate interest for processing such personal data stems from the following: CCTV is used for maintaining public safety, the security of property and premises and for preventing and investigating crime and safety related incidents. The Company recognizes the effect of such a CCTV System on the individual and the right to privacy and protection of personal data.
Equipment used, image quality, camera positioning and locations are appropriate to ensure that the images are adequate and exclusive for the purpose for which they are being collected.

- Control of access to CCTV Footage
All recording media used for the monitoring and capture of images on Clouds Express’s CCTV system belongs to and remains the property of Clouds Express. It is important that access to and disclosure of images is restricted and carefully controlled, not only to ensure that the rights of individuals are preserved but also to ensure that the chain of evidence remains intact should the images be required for evidential purposes. Viewing of the footage is centered in defined areas and restricted to those who need to have access in accordance with this Policy and any governing legislation. All staff who have access to the CCTV System are made aware of the sensitivity of handling CCTV images and recordings.
To ensure CCTV camera images are not available to unauthorized employees/external personnel, preventive actions have been taken to ensure monitors are not visible from external areas.
- Disclosure of CCTV Footage
Disclosure of images from the CCTV system is controlled and is consistent with the purpose for which the system was established. The Company will share personal data with third parties only if there is a legal obligation imposed on it to do so.
