PRIVACY NOTICE FOR CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION

This Privacy Notice applies to all employees and all visitors to Hamlin-Iturralde Corporation’s (TeamAsia) premises at Polaris Corporate Center, Spectrum Midway, Alabang, Muntinlupa City, and all other individuals about whom TeamAsia collects or holds personal data as a result of the operation of its CCTV systems.

HOW WE OBTAIN YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Our CCTV monitors the main office space and server room 24 hours a day and this data is continuously recorded. Camera locations are chosen to minimize the capture of images which are not relevant to the legitimate purposes of the monitoring.

Images are monitored by TeamAsia’s authorized personnel during working hours only and can be accessed remotely at other times if required.

Live feeds from CCTV cameras are monitored only where this is reasonably necessary, for example, to protect health and safety.

TeamAsia will ensure that live feeds from cameras and recorded images are only viewed by approved members of its staff whose role requires them to have access to such data. This may include TeamAsia’s Executive office, IT, and HR staff involved in disciplinary or grievance matters.

No CCTVs will be placed in areas where there is an expectation of privacy (for example, in  restrooms).

TeamAsia does not carry out covert monitoring or surveillance (that is, where you are unaware that the monitoring or surveillance is taking place) unless, in highly exceptional circumstances, there are reasonable grounds to suspect that criminal activity or extremely serious malpractice is taking place and, after suitable consideration, TeamAsia reasonably believes there is no less intrusive way to tackle the issue.

Any covert monitoring or surveillance will be carried out for a limited and reasonable period of time consistent with the objectives of the monitoring or surveillance and will relate only to the specific suspected criminal activity or extremely serious malpractice.
