Why do we use camera surveillance?

Conapto uses camera surveillance with the aim of preventing and sacrificing criminal acts in buildings where Conapto operates, protecting staff and visitors, as well as property from crime and accidents.

What type of camera surveillance do we use and on what legal basis?

Surveillance and recording of video within the company’s areas
The purpose of this is to maintain a safe environment for staff and visitors and to prevent criminal activity such as theft and vandalism. Camera surveillance supports the company’s preventive work against serious incidents that pose a threat to persons or property, as well as in the investigation of crimes such as vandalism, theft and threats. The monitoring also serves as a function to curb the presence of unauthorized persons in the properties and as visual support for Conapto’s alarm centre.
Legal basis: The processing is carried out on the basis of the legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6.1 f GDPR. It is considered that there is a legitimate interest in processing the data for the specified purposes.

Storage of specific recordings and events
Aims to, as part of a police report or ongoing police investigation, secure evidence for further transfer to the police authority. Conapto can also share stored, specific recordings with customers who have required their particular equipment to be recorded and where the camera is pointed at their equipment. These recordings are provided to each customer at the request of that customer, usually in connection with an incident or to ensure that they have had staff on site.

Legal basis: When material is stored and disclosed to the police authority, as part of a police report or ongoing preliminary investigation, the processing takes place on the basis of a legal obligation pursuant to Article 6.1c GDPR. Recordings on behalf of the customer are shared with them on the basis of the legitimate interest under Article 6.1f GDPR, as both Conapto and the customer have a legitimate interest in investigating incidents related to the customer’s equipment.

Categories of personal data
Recorded material of movements in the places where cameras have been set up for the above-mentioned purposes. Conapto does not sell or pass on any data to anyone other than those mentioned above, however, data may be processed by data processors, i.e. companies that Conapto has engaged for security and surveillance as well as the operation of systems for camera surveillance. However, these parties may not use the data for any purpose other than to provide services for which they are engaged by Conapto and only on the terms and conditions specified by Conapto.

Who has access to the camera surveillance?
Access to Conapto’s camera surveillance is limited to a group of authorized employees at Conapto, authorized personnel at the customer and authorized personnel in the companies that are tasked with handling surveillance. Data may also be processed by the police authority where there is a legal aspect.

How long is recorded material stored?
Recorded material is stored for a maximum of 90 days. Material may be stored for longer if it is necessary to comply with specific legal requirements or if the material is evidence in ongoing legal proceedings. In these cases, the material is deleted as soon as the purpose of saving it has ceased. Recorded material is stored on special servers with a high level of protection of IT security and physical security, where access to the material is limited to a small number of authorised persons.
