CCTV at Amphora Holdings Ltd, 36 Cotham Hill, Cotham, Bristol BS6 6LA
CCTV footage is recorded for building security. It’s taken by four CCTV cameras, two in the store room and two in the showroom on the ground floor of the building where they don’t unnecessarily intrude on anyone’s privacy but where they best support their purpose.
The Data Controller and authorised employees at Amphora Holdings Ltd are the only persons who have access to the CCTV Footage detailed above. No other person will be granted access to any footage except lawful representation in the case of a breach of security to assist in identifying a perpetrator.
The Information Commissioners Office regulates the use of CCTV footage because it involves the processing of personal information capturing and/or recording images of identifiable individuals. Because CCTV is covered by the Data Protection Act, you have the right to see information held about you, including CCTV images which give away information about you (such as your car number plate). A Subject Access Request will be required for consideration to view any footage and if authorised will be supplied on a DVD unencrypted and will therefore be required to be signed for and collected in person.
The Data Protection Controller at Amphora Holdings Ltd is responsible for CCTV footage, deciding what is recorded, how images should be used and who they should be disclosed to.
Statement of transparency and fairness
Amphora Holdings Ltd regard the personal information collected when manually processed with a business’s purchasing history to be fair to retain and necessary for the specific action or business of marketing and promoting its products and services. The information is protected, it’s not shared with any third parties, it’s not used for any form of automated processing or decision making and is used in a way that people would reasonably expect.
It’s assumed that collecting and retaining this basic information in conjunction with any purchasing history (what you buy from us and how often) will cause no justified adverse effect on businesses or individuals concerned and is there-fore not likely to cause objection or complaint. In the event it does, please contact The Data Controller who will exercise your right to withdraw consent. In circumstances you deem appropriate, you can exercise your right to lodge a complaint with the appropriate supervisory authority and or seek a judicial remedy without undue delay, at the latest within one month.
