The video surveillance is kept on secure servers which only a limited number of employees have access to. The recordings will only be accessed in case of suspicion of criminal offences or in relation to internal/external audits.

The recordings may be disclosed to the Police for criminal investigations if the personal data are processed for the purpose of safeguarding public or private interests which clearly override the interests of secrecy, cf.

Purposes and legal basis of the processing

The purpose of the video surveillance is security, including prevention of crime, cf. Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.

Retention period

Recordings from video surveillance which has been conducted for the purposes of preventing crime are deleted or anonymized no later than 30 days after the recording has taken place, unless is it necessary for SaltPower to keep the recordings for the purpose of dealing with a specific dispute, e.g. in relation to solving a crime.
