CCTV, IDScan and other surveillance technologies

IDScan

Licenced premises have a responsibility to uphold four objectives from the Licensing Act 2003:

Public Safety
Prevention of Public Nuisance
Prevention of Crime and Disorder
Protection of Children from Harm

In order to uphold these objectives, in particular; the prevention of crime and disorder and the protection of children from harm we use the IDScan system in some of our venues. Revolution Bars and Revolucion De Cuba are registered with the Information Commissioner’s office for use of this system, and we take data protection and privacy considerations seriously. Considerable attention is paid to seeking to ensure that data captured is held securely. IDScan retains a copy of customer identity documents. Scanning is entirely voluntary, however the management reserve the right to refuse entry if ID is not volunteered. Access to stored data is restricted to management level. Data viewed by door supervisors extends merely to the photograph and DOB. Occasionally we may share this data with Police, if requested following an incident in the venue, to assist in crime and disorder investigation or prosecution. An individual’s data may also be shared with Scannet, in conjunction with Pubwatch, if that individual is placed on a Barred List. Our systems are set to automatically purge data that is over 3 years old which is in line with the statute of limitations for civil claims. Copies of ID documents will be retained for a maximum 3 years with the exception of any individual who is on the Barred List, where their details will be retained for as long as they remain on that list. Should you require that we purge you’re information, and given that the information need not reasonably be kept for any of the purposes above, please email dpo@revolutionbarsgroup.com

CCTV

In the interests of Public Safety, and the prevention of Crime and Disorder Revolution Bars Group PLC uses CCTV in all of its venues. We may, in some of our premises use body cameras for the same purpose and the use one or both may be a condition on the premises licence. Where we use CCTV, this will be clearly signposted at the entrance to the premises. Video footage will be retained for a minimum of 31 days and will only be accessed by the following personnel;

Site management
The Risk and Compliance Team
Local law enforcement officers

Video copies of specific incidents may be retained and made available to local law enforcement officers and/or legal representatives where the footage is part of an accident investigation, official investigation or legal case. Enquiries regarding CCTV footage should be sent to dpo@revolutionbarsgroup.com

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see ‘6. Rights over your information’.

Pursuant to the recipient’s compliance with standard contractual clauses or binding corporate rules; b. Pursuant to the consent of the individual to whom the Personal Information pertains; or c.
