Tattoo Atelier CCTV Notice

Last updated: 08/04/2026

The Tattoo Atelier uses CCTV for the protection of clients, visitors, staff, property, and the studio environment. CCTV is used for security, the prevention and detection of crime, incident review, and the protection of health and safety where reasonably necessary. 

CCTV operates continuously at the Tattoo Atelier premises. Cameras are positioned in visible locations and are set so far as reasonably possible to capture only the areas necessary for these purposes. The system is operated in a manner intended to be proportionate, targeted, and no more intrusive than necessary. 

The lawful basis relied upon for the use of CCTV is legitimate interests. Those legitimate interests are the security of the premises, the protection of clients, staff, and visitors, the protection of equipment and property, and the investigation of safety or security incidents where required. 

This draft assumes visual-only CCTV. The system should record visual footage only and should not record audio unless there is a specific, evidenced justification and clear additional notice, because audio recording is significantly more intrusive and is unlikely to be justified in most ordinary circumstances. 

Access to CCTV footage is restricted to authorised persons only and only where there is a legitimate operational reason to review it. Footage may be shared where reasonably necessary with professional advisers, insurers, law enforcement, regulators, or emergency services, and only where lawful and proportionate to do so. 

CCTV footage is stored securely and protected against unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, or loss. Recorded footage is normally retained for up to 14 days, unless it is required for the investigation of an incident, legal proceedings, insurance handling, or another lawful purpose, in which case it may be retained for longer for that purpose and then securely deleted. 

Individuals may request access to personal data relating to them contained in CCTV footage, subject to applicable legal limitations and the rights of other individuals who may appear in the footage. Requests should be sent to privacypolicy@stardog23.com with enough information to help identify the relevant footage. Requests will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection law, normally within one calendar month of receipt or of receiving any information reasonably required to confirm identity or locate the footage. 

Further information about how personal data is handled, including CCTV-related processing, is available in the main Privacy Notice. Complaints about the handling of personal data may be raised with us at privacypolicy@stardog23.com. Individuals also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
