Car parks privacy notice

CCTV

CCTV images are being recorded in all our multi-storey car parks for public health and safety, the prevention and detection of crime and disorder, customer service and staff administration purposes. The system data controller is Huntingdonshire District Council.

Where necessary, personal information may be shared with the police or security organisations to prevent or detect crime. Any transfer of data between the Council and other organisations will be conducted in a secure manner. CCTV recordings are retained for up to 31 days.

Civil enforcement

Civil Enforcement Officers patrol all of our car parks and utilise handheld camera devices in order to enforce the parking terms and conditions. The system data controller is Cambridgeshire County Council.

Where the parking terms and conditions have not been complied with, personal data may be collected, processed, shared and retained in order to carry out the performance of a public task and fulfil our legal obligations in the following ways:

  • To request details of the registered keeper of the vehicle from the DVLA in order to pursue a Penalty Charge Notice.
  • Shared with third parties for appeals and enforcement.
  • Shared with the police or security organisations to prevent or detect crime.

Payment data

Payment data is collected and processed in all of our car parks. This information is shared with third parties in a secure manner for the purposes of processing of card payments in accordance with Payment Card Industry standards.

Where necessary, personal information may be shared with the police or security organisations to prevent or detect crime. Any transfer of data between the Council and other organisations will be conducted in a secure manner.

Voice recordings

Voice recordings from intercom calls are collected and processed in all of our multi-storey car parks for public health and safety, the prevention and detection of crime and disorder, customer service and staff administration purposes. Where necessary, personal information may be shared with the police or security organisations to prevent or detect crime. Any transfer of data between the Council and other organisations will be conducted in a secure manner. Voice recordings are retained for up to 30 days.

Lawful condition

The legal basis allowing us to process your data will vary depending on a number of factors such as your method of payment or whether any parking enforcement is made against you, however the legal basis will predominantly be processing necessary for a contract and the legitimate interests of the Council.
