CCTV Images

CCTV may be used to record activities on the ranges at the club and armoury in the interests of safety and crime prevention. All images are stored onsite in. a locked cabinet. The images/data are stored for two months and then these are over written.

For these reasons the information processed may include visual images, personal appearance and behaviours. This information may be about club members, customers and offenders and suspected offenders, members of the public and those inside, entering or in the immediate vicinity of the area under surveillance. Where necessary or required this information is shared with the data subjects themselves, employees and agents, service providers, police forces, security organisations and persons making an enquiry.

Any complaints which rely on this about theft/bullying/abuse etc. must therefore be made within two months of the incident otherwise the images will have been overwritten.
