SHARING INFORMATION

Your information may be transferred to third-party service providers who process information on our behalf, such as providers of information technology, identity management, website hosting and management, data analysis, data back-up, security, electronic document signing and storage services.

As a Xeinadin company we share certain client and staff information with them as part of our internal business operations e.g. for financial reporting, marketing and payroll purposes.

We may transfer certain personal data outside of the EEA to companies working with us or on our behalf for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement.

CCTV

We use CCTV to monitor the exterior of our building in Nenagh for security purposes affecting property belonging to the company and our clients. The system is intended to capture images of intruders or of individuals damaging property or removing goods without authorisation and to increase the safety of staff, clients and visitors. The images are stored on a secure DVR and are held for a period of 30 days. In the event images have identified an issue e.g. break-in or theft then it is retained specifically in the context of an investigation of that issue. Requests from An Garda Siochana to download footage will be acceded to, where a formal written request is provided to the Privacy Officer stating that An Garda Siochana is investigating a criminal matter. Any person whose image is recorded on our CCTV system has a right to seek and be supplied with a copy of their own personal data from the footage. To exercise that right, the data subject must make an application in writing to the Privacy Officer with a reasonable indication of the approximate time and specific date(s) on which their image was recorded.
