Genekor is, as per the GDPR terminology, the “Data Controller” for any personal information that might be recorded and processed through the Video Surveillance System.
INFORMATION THAT IS BEING COLLECTED
The Video Surveillance System collects image and video data from the respective cameras. The cameras are oriented exclusively at specific points of interest, i.e. entry and exit points, private parking around the perimeter of the Company’s facilities located in buildings at 52 Spaton Avenue, 56 Spaton Avenue, 46 Spaton Avenue and 49 Spaton Avenue , 15344 Gerakas Attica, and in the stairwell area in one of these buildings that faces the entrance of the Company as well as in the building of our Company’s Branch in Thessaloniki at 72 Ethnikis Antistaseos Street and 2 Aiantos Street, 55134 Kalamaria and record whatever it is in their field of vision.
Since there can be no control over what can appear in front of the cameras, it is possible to record children or individuals with moving disabilities or other apparent health issues.
Areas in the cameras’ field of vision that extent to public spaces beyond the area of direct interest to the Company are automatically blurred so that they are not being monitored.
PURPOSES OF VIDEO SURVEILLANCE AND THE COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
The Surveillance cameras are generally located in high risk areas and aim at the physical protection of the company premises and of the employees, customers, partners, third-party visitors and any equipment located therein.
The cameras do not aim at gathering information about customers, employees, visitors, etc. but record data that will allow the detection of a security incident or an unlawful act in general. At the same time, they also function in a deterrent way as it is obvious from their existence that any unlawful action will be recorded.
LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING
It is the Company’s legitimate interest to protect its facilities and its assets located therein, from any unlawful acts, such as theft. The same applies regarding the safety of life, physical integrity, health as well as the property of the Company staff and third parties (customers, visitors) who move lawfully within the area that is under surveillance. Therefore, the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interest pursued by the Company as a data controller (article 6, par. 1(f) GDPR).
Video Surveillance is a modern security measure which is becoming increasingly popular. However, Genekor’s implements its video surveillance system in a way that always respects the rights and freedoms of individuals. Only image data are being recorded. The position of the cameras and the surveillance areas are carefully selected so that the monitoring is limited only to areas where we have assessed that bear a high risk for unlawful acts, so as not to affect to a great extent the privacy of the individuals who are being monitored, including their right of respect for their personal data.
Appropriate surveillance warning signs have been placed next to the cameras and at the Company entrances.
TO WHOM WE DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Only competent and authorized Genekor personnel may view the recordings from the cameras and only technicians of the system maintenance team have access to the recording system.
The recordings may need to be disclosed to competent judicial, prosecutorial and law enforcement authorities and relevant bodies upon a lawful request, in the performance of their duties and in the aftermath of a crime involving individuals or properties or the controller’s property. In case data can be considered, evidence of a crime, they may also be transferred on to the victim or the perpetrator of a crime.
The personal data are not being transferred to another country.
FOR HOW LONG DO WE KEEP THE PERSONAL DATA
The recordings are getting destroyed after 7 days by being over-written by more recent ones while the access to them is very limited and is done only when there is a specific need (theft, security incident, etc). In case of an incident, it is possible that a relevant extract is being isolated and held for a longer period of up to one (1) month, depending on the needs each time and upon consultation with the authorities in order to investigate the incident and to initiate legal proceedings for the protection of legitimate interests, while if the incident concerns a third party we will retain the video for up to three (3) months.
