Why we collect your data
Ramsey Grammar School collects data to help prevent, deter and detect crimes, and improve public safety and reassurance.
What is the legal basis for collecting and processing this data?
The legal basis for using your data in this way is as a public task. Processing is necessary to perform a task in the public interest or for official functions, and the task or function has a clear basis in law.
Information we may collect
Ramsey Grammar School may collect geographical, personal and sometimes sensitive data obtained from CCTV cameras located in public areas of Ramsey Grammar School facilities.
Do I have to provide this information, and what will happen if I don’t?
The data we collect using CCTV does not require prior consent as it would be impractical to request the consent of everyone observed through the CCTV cameras in public spaces, and also because the collection of this data is both in the public interest and may be required for the prevention and detection of crime.
If, when requesting access under your subject access rights, you do not provide your information, then we will not be able to process your request or search for your footage and provide it to you.
Who will your information be shared with?
Ramsey Grammar School can only release CCTV footage under certain circumstances:
• Individuals can request footage of themselves. This will be handled as a Subject Access Request;
• The Police may request footage as part of an investigation into an incident and in the course of preventing and detecting crime;
• Insurance companies and solicitors can request CCTV footage when investigating an insurance claim
How long will you keep this information for?
We may retain data collected by CCTV for up to 6 weeks.
How will my information be stored?
CCTV footage is stored on secure electronic, digital storage device. They are held in a restricted access area with high levels of data security.
