9 Data protection information on video surveillance
We use video surveillance on the property we use.
Purpose of video surveillance and legal basis
Video surveillance is carried out to exercise domiciliary rights. Video surveillance is also used to prevent criminal offences and to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
The legal basis for video surveillance is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, whereby our interests arise from the aforementioned purposes.
Insofar as special types of personal data are processed, this is done on the basis of Art. 9 para. 2 lit. f) GDPR.
Recipients / Disclosure of Data
The data will be passed on to service providers commissioned by us who perform monitoring tasks for our company.
In the event of suspicion of criminal acts, we may also pass on the data to lawyers, insurance companies and law enforcement authorities.
Otherwise, the data will only be passed on if there is a legal basis for the disclosure. This may be the case in particular if the police or other security authorities act in the context of so-called danger prevention and demand access to the data of the video surveillance.
Data processing outside the European Union
Personal data is not processed outside the European Union in the context of video surveillance.
Your rights as a data subject
You have the right to information about the personal data concerning you. You can contact us at any time for information.
In the event of a request for information that is not made in writing, we ask for your understanding that we may require proof from you that you are the person you say you are.
Furthermore, you have the right to rectification or deletion or to restriction of processing, insofar as you are legally entitled to this.
Finally, you have a right to object to the processing within the framework of the legal requirements.
There is also a right to data portability within the framework of data protection regulations.
Deletion of data
Data from video surveillance is generally deleted after 72 hours.
Longer storage can be carried out on a case-by-case basis if facts justify the assumption that recordings from a limited period of time show acts that are to be prosecuted as a criminal offence or used to assert civil law claims.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
You have the right to complain about the processing of personal data by us to a supervisory authority for data protection.
