Similarly, should the same responsible person be subject of the ejection, the child they are accompanying must also leave the Ground, unless that presents an immediate safeguarding risk to that child, in which case the Club reserves the right to take appropriate action which may include involving external organisations such as the Police or Local Authority Social Care Services in such action, if deemed necessary.

the period or periods of continued existence of the Force Majeure Event; and such further period (if any) as the Club in its sole discretion reasonably considers is required, due to repairs, maintenance, rebuilding, delays in transportation, shortage of manpower or materials or other cause directly occasioned by or attributable to the Force Majeure Event.

About This Policy

3.1 We currently use CCTV cameras to view and record individuals on and around the Premises.

3.3 We recognise the information that we hold about individuals is subject to Data Protection Law. Event Images, Competition Images and images of individuals recorded by CCTV cameras at the Premises and/or in the workplace are Personal Data and therefore subject to the Data Protection Law.

PART 1: CCTV

Reasons for the use of CCTV

1.1 We currently use CCTV around the Premises. Such use is necessary to protect vital interests of individuals and is necessary for legitimate business purposes, including:

(a) to prevent crime and protect buildings and assets from damage, disruption, vandalism, terrorism and other crime;

(b) for the personal safety of all staff, visitors and other members of the public and to act as a deterrent against crime;

(d) to assist in day-to-day management, including ensuring the health and safety of staff and others;

(e) to assist in the effective resolution of disputes which arise in the course of disciplinary or grievance proceedings;

(f) to assist in the defence of any civil litigation, including employment tribunal proceedings;

(g) for insurance purposes and investigating insurance claims;

(h) to assist in the investigation of customer complaints.

This list is not exhaustive and other purposes may be or become relevant.

Monitoring

2.1 CCTV monitors the exterior and interior of the Premises and the perimeter, main entrances and secondary exits, corridors, areas inside the bowl of the stadium, function suites and bars 24 hours a day and this data is continuously recorded.

2.2 Camera locations are chosen to minimise viewing of spaces not relevant to the legitimate purpose of the monitoring. As far as practically possible, CCTV cameras will not focus on private homes, gardens or other areas of private property.

2.3 Surveillance systems, other than body worn camera systems in specific circumstances, will not be used to record sound.

2.4 Images are monitored by authorised personnel 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

2.5 Staff using surveillance systems will be given appropriate training to ensure they understand and observe the legal requirements related to the processing of Data and Personal Data.

How we will operate any CCTV

3.1 Where CCTV cameras are placed in the Premises, we will ensure that signs are displayed at the entrance of the surveillance zones to alert individuals that their image may be recorded prior to any recording taking place. Such signs will contain details of the organisation operating the system, the purpose for using the surveillance system and who to contact for further information, where these things are not obvious to those being monitored.

3.2 Live feeds from CCTV cameras are monitored where this is reasonably necessary, for example to protect health and safety.

3.3 We will ensure that live feeds from cameras and recorded images are only viewed by approved members of staff whose role requires them to have access to such data. This may include event control personnel and HR staff involved with NUFC internal disciplinary or grievance matters. Recorded images will only be viewed in designated, secure offices.

Use of data gathered by CCTV

4.1 In order to ensure that the rights of individuals recorded by the CCTV system are protected, we will ensure that data gathered from CCTV cameras is stored in a way that maintains its integrity and security. This may include encrypting the data, where it is possible to do so.

4.2 Given the large amount of data generated by surveillance systems, we may store video footage using a cloud computing system. In such a case, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that any cloud service provider maintains the security of our information, in accordance with Data Protection Law.

4.3 We may engage data processors to process data on our behalf. We will ensure reasonable contractual safeguards in accordance with relevant Data Protection Law are in place to protect the security and integrity of the data.

Requests for disclosure

5.1 We may share data with NUFC group companies and other associated companies or organisations (for example law enforcement agencies, the FA and the Premier League, or another Club) where we consider that this is reasonably necessary for any of the legitimate purposes set out above in Paragraph 1.1 above.

5.2 No images from our CCTV cameras will be disclosed to any other third party, without express permission being given by Head of Safety and Security. Data will not normally be released unless satisfactory evidence that it is required for legal proceedings or under a court order has been produced.

5.3 In other appropriate circumstances, we may allow law enforcement agencies to view or remove CCTV footage where this is required in the detection or prosecution of crime.

5.4 We will maintain a record of all disclosures of CCTV footage.

5.5 No images from CCTV will ever be posted online or disclosed to the media.

Retention and erasure of data gathered by CCTV

6.1 Data recorded by the CCTV system will be stored digitally. Data from CCTV cameras will not be retained indefinitely but will be permanently deleted once there is no reason to retain the recorded information. Exactly how long images will be retained for will vary according to the purpose for which they are being recorded, but in most cases the data will be automatically erased before 30 days has elapsed. For example, where images are being recorded for crime prevention purposes, data will be kept long enough only for incidents to come to light. In all other cases, recorded images will be kept for no longer than 30 days.

6.2 At the end of their useful life, all images stored in whatever format will be erased permanently and securely. Any physical matter such as tapes or discs will be disposed of as confidential waste. Any still photographs and hard copy prints will be disposed of as confidential waste.

Use of additional surveillance systems

7.1 Prior to introducing any new surveillance system, including placing a new CCTV camera in any workplace location, we will carefully consider if they are appropriate by carrying out a privacy impact assessment (PIA).

7.2 A PIA is intended to assist us in deciding whether new surveillance cameras are necessary and proportionate in the circumstances and whether they should be used at all or whether any limitations should be placed on their use.

7.3 Any PIA will consider the nature of the problem that we are seeking to address at that time and whether the surveillance camera is likely to be an effective solution, or whether a better solution exists. In particular, we will consider the effect a surveillance camera will have on individuals and therefore whether its use is a proportionate response to the problem identified.

7.4 No surveillance cameras are currently located in areas where there is an expectation of privacy (for example, in changing rooms). It is intended that this shall remain the case, unless, in very exceptional circumstances, it is judged by us to be necessary to deal with very serious concerns.

Covert Monitoring

8.1 We will never engage in covert monitoring or surveillance (that is, where individuals are unaware that the monitoring or surveillance is taking place) unless, in highly exceptional circumstances, there are reasonable grounds to suspect that criminal activity or extremely serious malpractice is taking place and, after suitable consideration, we reasonably believe there is no less intrusive way to tackle the issue.

8.2 In the unlikely event that covert monitoring is considered to be justified, it will only be carried out with the express authorisation of the Club Director and/or the Head of Safety and Security. The decision to carry out covert monitoring follows an authorisation process and will be fully documented and will set out how the decision to use covert means was reached and by whom. The risk of intrusion on innocent workers will always be a primary consideration in reaching any such decision.

8.3 Only limited numbers of people will be involved in any covert monitoring.

8.4 Covert monitoring will only be carried out for a limited and reasonable period of time consistent with the objectives of making the recording and will only relate to the specific suspected illegal or unauthorised activity.

Ongoing review of CCTV use

9.1 We will ensure that the ongoing use of existing CCTV cameras in the Premises is reviewed periodically to ensure that their use remains necessary and appropriate, and that any surveillance system is continuing to address the needs that justified its introduction.

PART 2: EVENT IMAGES
