14. CCTV Images
Radius uses closed circuit television (CCTV) to provide a safe and secure environment for employees and for visitors to the company’s premises and to protect company property. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interests in ensuring the safety and security of our employees, visitors and property. CCTV signage is displayed at relevant locations. The company’s CCTV facility records images only. There is no audio recording. Images that are stored on media are erased or destroyed once the purpose of the recording is no longer relevant. In normal circumstances, this will be a period of 31 days. 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 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 CCTV policy for the UK‑centred business operations is available upon request.
