Data with Personal Character collected through video surveillance
Special Data
The video surveillance system of the Company does not have as purpose (for example through zooming or selective orientation) or image processing (for example: indexing or profile creation) which enfolds “special data category”.
The Company does not intend to use the surveillance system and in ad hoc way, respectively with temporary character, of circumstance.
Description and technical specifications of the system
In conventional way the video surveillance system is a static system. It has as a function the recording of images and it is equipped with motion sensors. The system can detect any movement through the cameras installed in the supervised area, with a date, time and location. All cameras are functional 24 hours, 7 days a week. When it is necessary, the quality of the images permits the recognition of those that walk by through the area of action of the cameras. For a better safety of the data processing action that can be obtained during a video surveillance, the cameras are fixed (without a zoom function), so that the user can’t modify the perimeter or scope of the surveillance. Specially instructed operators must respect the confidentiality settings and access rights. There is no interconnection with other systems and sound does not register.
The benefits of the surveillance system
A better control in the surveyed perimeter, of comings and goings;
Restricting access to foreign persons;
The elimination of loses due to unforeseen events;
Respecting the norms and legislation for objectives with risks.
Protection of private life and information security
In order to protect the security of the video system and to heighten the protection level of life, there were introduced the following technical and organisational measures:
Limiting the time of storage of the material filmed, in conformity with the security requirements;
Storage mediums (the servers where the images recorded are stored) are in secure areas, protected by physical means of security
All users with access rights have signed confidentiality declarations, that oblige them to respect the legal terms of the field; the access right is awarded to users on the basis of knowing, just for resources that are strictly necessary for the accomplishment of work related activities;
All staff personal (both external and internal) sign confidentiality agreements.
Only the system administrator, appointed in this sense by the operator, has the right to offer, modify or cancel the access rights of users, according to the general procedure of access to database. This permanently holds an up-to-date list of all persons that have the right to access the surveillance system, while specifying the type of access.
Access to personal data and unveiling them
Access to the stored images and/or to the technical architecture of the video surveillance system is limited to a reduced number of people and it is determined through specified attributions in the job description (to what scope and type of access). In a specific manner, the Company imposes limits to the persons with the right:
to see the filmed material in real time: images that run in real time are accessible only to responsible designated to undergo surveillance activity;
to see the recordings of the filmed material: viewing recording images will be done only in justified cases, such as the cases stimulated by law and security incidents, by persons specially designated to do so;
to copy, download, delete or modify any filmed material.
Instructing
All personal with access rights benefits from a special training in the field of data protection. This procedure will be integrated in the training and guidance programme, for all users with access rights and attributions in the handling of the video surveillance system.
The head of the service will ensure that all personal under his command, involved in the management of the video surveillance system, is trained and informed about all functional, operational and administrative aspects of this activity.
Measures of maintaining confidentiality
After training, every participant signs a confidentiality agreement.
The unveiling of data with personal character

Any situation of unveiling will be recorded by the system administrator in a Register of cases of disclosure.
The Company has the obligation of offering judiciary organs, at their written request, video recordings during which penal actions are undergone. The video surveillance system is not used to verify the presence at work or evaluating performance at work. In exceptional cases, but with the utter respect of the guarantees described above, can be given access to Disciplinary Commission, during a disciplinary inquiry, with the condition that all information will help the investigation of a crime or a disciplinary deviation that might prejudice rights and liberties of a person.
Any breach of security regarding video cameras is indicated in the investigation register, and the Company will be informed with this eventuality as soon as possible.
Storage duration
The storage duration of the data obtained through the use of the surveillance system is proportional with the scope of the data processing, and as a result (i) images (surprised by the video system) are stored for a period that does not go over 30 days, after which they are erased through an automated procedure in the order the images were recorded, (ii) images (surprised by the video system) are stored for a longer period than 30 days, after which they are deleted through an automated procedure in the order the images were recorded. In the event of security incident, the duration of the material filmed can exceed the normal limits, in accordance with the time necessary for the additional investigation of the security incident.
