Processed data: Video recording (image only) of the behavior of those staying in the Hotel’s customer traffic areas, which are open to the public. Sound will not be recorded by the Controller. 

 

Purpose of data processing: To protect the property, physical integrity, and other legitimate interests of its guests, its employees, its own, and any third parties, and to facilitate the enforcement of the data subjects’ rights. 

 

Legal title of data processing: the legitimate interest of the Controller, the data subjects, and the society regarding the security of property and life (Article 6 (1) (f) of GDPR). The Controller proved the existence of its legitimate interest in a separate legitimate interests assessment. 

 

Deadline of deletion of data: They are automatically deleted 72 hours after recording. Further processing of data may only occur if it is required for enforcing the rights of the data subject, the Controller, or other third parties, or where there is a suspicion that such recording may be necessary to enforce the rights of any person. 

 

4. PRINCIPLES GOVERNING THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA 

 

(a) Processing of personal data is carried out by the Controller in a lawful and fair manner, in a manner that is transparent to the data subject (“Lawfulness, Fairness and Transparency”). The most important information shall be disclosed on warning signs. These signs shall be located at a sufficient distance from the observed area so that the person(s) concerned can easily obtain information on the circumstances of the observation before entering the area. 

 

(b) The Controller only collects personal data for the purposes set out in present Policy, for a clear and legitimate purpose, and processes them in a manner consistent with that purpose. (“Purpose Limitation”) 

 

(c) The personal data must be adequate and relevant to the purposes for which the data are processed and must be limited to what is necessary. Prior to installing the CCTV, Controller shall verify that it is suitable, appropriate and necessary to achieve its purpose. A camera surveillance system may be installed where the purpose of data management cannot be attained in a way which does not interfere with the data subject’s fundamental rights and freedoms. (“Data Minimisation”) 

 

(d) All personal data shall be kept in a form which permits identification of data subject(s) only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed. (“Storage Limitation”) 

 

(e) The Controller shall ensure that personal data are adequately protected by appropriate technical or organizational measures, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction or damage. (“Integrity and confidentiality”) 

 

(f) The Controller shall be responsible for compliance with (a) to (e) and shall be able to justify such compliance. (“Accountability”) 

 

The cameras monitor the entire area of the Hotel which is open for client traffic, as well as the facade and street front of the Hotel, including the street parking spaces reserved for it. Specifying the exact location and angle of view of the cameras is not compatible with the purpose of data management and is therefore not published in the Policy.
