LEGACY STUDIOS —
CCTV POLICY

Why We Collect and Process CCTV Data

​

Legacy Studios uses CCTV (closed-circuit television) within all of its premises (including studios, communal areas, entrances, stairwells, and corridors) in order to:

​

• Protect the life, safety, and welfare of staff, customers, and visitors.

​

• Safeguard our property, assets, and equipment, and assist with investigations into fraud or other financial risks.

​

• Support the identification, apprehension, and prosecution of offenders in relation to crimes or breaches of our Terms & Conditions.

​

CCTV footage is not used for marketing or promotional purposes.

​

What Data is Collected

​

• Video recordings only (no audio).

​

• In certain locations, accredited security providers may also use Body-Worn Video (BWV) cameras, which capture video and audio when activated.

​

Who Controls the Data

​

Legacy Studios Ltd is the Data Controller for all CCTV recordings. Our appointed Security Manager oversees CCTV operations and ensures compliance with GDPR and data protection law.

​​

Access to Data

​

• Access to live or recorded footage is limited to Legacy Studios’ security team, authorised management, and contracted SIA-accredited security providers.

​

• Footage will only be disclosed to third parties (such as police or local authorities) where required for investigation, legal proceedings, or law enforcement purposes.

​

Data Access, Modification & Deletion Rights

​

• Customers do not have direct access to CCTV footage.

​

• In the event of an incident, relevant footage will be released directly to law enforcement.

​

• CCTV reports written by security staff may be corrected if inaccurate — requests can be made via info@studionearme.uk.

​

• You may request deletion of personal data if you believe processing is unlawful; requests will be reviewed under GDPR.

​

Retention and Erasure

​

• CCTV recordings are automatically deleted after 31 days, unless retained for an investigation or legal purpose.

​

• In cases of ongoing investigations or legal claims, recordings may be kept up to 2 years, but no longer.

​

Security of Data

​

We use technical and organisational safeguards to protect CCTV data against unauthorised access, disclosure, or misuse.

​

Trials and Technology

​

• People Counting (if applicable): Legacy may trial people-counting technology using limited CCTV snippets, securely stored and deleted within 30 days.

​

• Facial Recognition: Any CCTV equipment with facial recognition or detection functions will remain disabled. Legacy Studios does not use facial recognition or biometric processing.

​

Your Rights

​

• You have the right to object to CCTV processing if you have legitimate reasons relating to your situation. Requests should be sent to info@studionearme.uk and will be addressed within 15 working days.

​

• Complaints can also be directed to our Data Protection Officer (DPO) at info@studionearme.uk.
