6. CCTV
We use CCTV across our stores, fuel courts, public areas and car parks for protection and security, including investigating accidents/incidents, prevention/detection of crime and internal investigations, including compliance with the Health and Safety at Work (Jersey) Law, 1989.
Our legal bases are Legitimate Interests and Legal Obligation. Cameras are positioned to cover our property where possible; some may capture public areas. We may disclose images to Police (evidence) and in disciplinary proceedings, and occasionally to public/regulatory authorities or individuals seeking to protect rights/prevent crime and nuisance where appropriate.
7. For how long we keep your personal information
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes collected, including legal/accounting/reporting requirements. Retention depends on the amount/nature/sensitivity of data, risk of harm, purposes and legal requirements. Details are in our retention policy (available on request via section 10). In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data (see section 9).
8. Keeping you informed about our products and services
Where we have consent or legitimate interests, we may contact you about COOP Mobile offers, ideas, products and services via post, email, SMS, phone, online advertising or other electronic means.
