Closed circuit television (CCTV)

Addictive Fitness Limited uses closed circuit television (CCTV) images to protect the Company’s property and to provide a safe and secure environment for instructors and students within the business premises. This policy sets out the details of how Addictive Fitness will collect, use and store CCTV images.

Location of cameras

Cameras are located within Addictive Fitness Ltd studio so that they only cover communal or public areas; on the front entrance and in the main studio. There are no cameras within the toilet facilities, the kitchen or the beauty / treatment room.

There are no hidden cameras, all cameras are clearly visible.

Appropriate signs are displayed so that instructors, students, student parents, 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 are recorded in constant real-time (24 hours a day throughout the year).

As the recording system records digital images, any CCTV images that are held on the hard drive are deleted and overwritten on a recycling basis and, in any event, once the 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 or which are stored digitally are erased or destroyed once the purpose of the recording is no longer relevant. In normal circumstances, this will be a period of 12 months]. 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 director (Karen Gaunt). Viewing of recorded images will take place in a restricted area to which others will not have access when viewing is occurring.

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.
  • Instructors 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 Director (Karen Gaunt) 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 UK’s data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), individuals have the right on request to receive a copy of the personal data that Addictive Fitness Limited 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 Karen Gaunt via the email address addictivefitness1@gmail.com

Addictive Fitness Limited will usually not make a charge for such a request, but we may charge a reasonable fee if you make a request which is manifestly unfounded or excessive or is repetitive. 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.

Addictive Fitness Limited will respond promptly within one week, where possible, of receiving a request.

Addictive Fitness Limited will always check the identity of the individual making the request before processing it.

Addictive Fitness Limited will always 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 we are 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.

Implementation

Karen Gaunt is responsible for the implementation of and compliance with this policy and the operation of the CCTV system and will conduct a regular review of its use and processing of CCTV images and ensure that at all times it remains compliant with the laws regulating data protection and privacy. Any complaints or enquiries about the operation of the Company’s CCTV system should be addressed to Karen Gaunt at addictivefitness1@gmail.com.

Data protection

Addictive Fitness Limited will process the personal data collected in connection with the operation of the CCTV policy in accordance with its data protection policy and any internal privacy notices in force at the relevant time. Inappropriate access or disclosure of this data will constitute a data breach and should be reported immediately to Karen Gaunt.
