Third party CCTV data requests

Requests to view information from one of our systems are likely to be made by third parties for one or more of the following purposes:

• Providing evidence in criminal proceedings,
• Providing evidence in civil proceedings or tribunals,
• The prevention of crime,
• The investigation and detection of crime (including identification of offenders),
• Identification of witnesses.

These requests are likely to be submitted by: 

• Police authorities,
• Statutory authorities with powers to prosecute (such as Customs and Excise or Trading Standards),
• Solicitors on behalf of clients,
• Claimants in civil proceedings,
• Accused persons or defendants in criminal proceedings,
• Other agencies (as agreed by us and notified to the Information Commissioner) according to purpose and legal status.

We will not release any information to third parties without a validated and signed request under the relevant legislation, which justifies the need for the recorded material and identifies an authorised individual who will be shown this information.
