Introduction

Pet Lovers Centre values your privacy. This Privacy Notice provides information on our CCTV systems and how we process your personal data through these systems.

Personal Data Collected and Manner of Collection

When you enter our premises, our CCTV systems may record video and audio of your activities. These recordings may include identifiable features such as your image, physical appearance, and voice, along with associated metadata (e.g., time, date, and location) captured automatically by cameras installed in common areas.

Purpose and Lawful Basis

We use CCTV systems for the following purposes:

  • To help keep people safe and reduce the risk of crime;
  • To protect our facilities, assets, and property;
  • To assist in investigating security-related incidents;
  • To support authorities in deterring and detecting crime, and in identifying and prosecuting offenders;
  • To manage areas with high health and safety risks;
  • To support operational needs such as resource allocation and management.

We process CCTV recordings under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA) based on legitimate interests and/or legal obligations. These purposes are necessary for security, safety, and operational management.

In certain situations, CCTV recordings may capture sensitive personal information, such as health-related data (e.g., injuries), or be used for legal claims. When this happens, processing is carried out based on lawful bases provided by the DPA, including:

  • Compliance with legal obligations;
  • Protection of lawful rights and interests; or
  • Establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

CCTV recordings are retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes stated in this notice. The standard retention period ranges from 14 to 30 days, depending on operational and locational requirements, unless a longer period is required for investigations, legal proceedings, or compliance with applicable laws. After the retention period has lapsed or the recordings are no longer needed, they are securely deleted or destroyed in accordance with our CCTV policy and the requirements of the DPA.

Third Party Transfer

We do not disclose CCTV recordings to third parties except when required by law or for lawful purposes, such as:

  • Requests from law enforcement or government authorities in connection with investigations;
  • Compliance with a court order or other legal process;
  • Situations necessary to protect lawful rights and interests or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

  3. Right to ObjectYou have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest if your rights and freedoms outweigh such interest.
  4. Right to RectificationYou have the right to dispute inaccuracies and request corrections to your personal data.
