All processing of your data is carried out in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (“GDPR”), which came into force on 25 May 2018.

3. Purposes and legal basis of video surveillance

Our premises are under video surveillance to ensure the safety of people and property. Its purpose is to:

  • Secure access to Spuerkeess premises;
  • Ensure the safety of Spuerkeess personnel, customers, visitors, service provider personnel and suppliers;
  • Detect and identify potentially suspicious or dangerous behaviour likely to cause accidents or incidents;
  • Determine the origin of an incident;
  • Protect Spuerkeess’ property (buildings, facilities, equipment, money, etc.);
  • Be able to eliminate any doubt in the event of an alarm, fire or break-in;
  • Organise and supervise the rapid evacuation of people in the event of an incident;
  • Be able to alert law enforcement or emergency services in a timely manner in the event of an aggression, or other offenses or accidents and facilitate their intervention.

The processing of footage captured by video surveillance is based on Spuerkeess’ legitimate interest in the safety of people and property, in accordance with article 6, (1) (f) of the GDPR. 

In addition to the aforementioned legitimate interests, video surveillance is also necessary for the safety and health needs of Spuerkeess staff in accordance with article L.261-1 of the Luxembourg Labour Code.

4. Categories of personal data processed

The categories of personal data processed are as follows:

  • Video surveillance footage of people visiting Spuerkeess’ premises, sites and facilities;
  • Place, date and time of the recordings.

5. Recipients of the data

The footage is intended exclusively for:

  • Authorised personnel of Spuerkeess (e.g. services in charge of the protection of property and persons, legal services);
  • Subcontractors in accordance with the regulations and solely for the purposes of their services in terms of safety and maintenance;
  • The judicial or police authorities, if necessary.

Video surveillance data remains in Luxembourg in the European Union and is not transferred to third countries.

6. Footage retention period

The video surveillance footage is stored for a maximum period of 30 days. At the end of this period, it is automatically deleted, except in the event of an incident related to the safety of property and/or persons, an offence or legal proceedings in progress, in which case the footage may be extracted and kept for the time necessary to resolve the incident or dispute.

The retention period can be justified due to Spuerkeess’ banking activity (e.g. presence of cash, securities and other documents or valuables). This brings with it a significant risk of harm to persons and property, as well as the need to have sufficient time to be able to trace and investigate in a professional manner criminal activities, incidents or claims (e.g. fraudulent or criminal use of means of payment, theft or misappropriation of funds, location survey for burglary or other criminal operations, assault or armed robbery, damage).

7. Data security

Spuerkeess puts in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of data collected by video surveillance. 

8. Transparency

When Spuerkeess carries out video surveillance, the persons concerned are informed of this surveillance via information signs and pictograms in the places subject to surveillance, in addition to this video surveillance information notice which is available on our website (www.spuerkeess.lu).

Regarding Spuerkeess staff, specific video surveillance provisions may apply to certain monitored premises in exceptional cases due to the risks inherent in the professional activities carried out. The employees concerned are informed by means of specific information communicated via internal channels (intranet).

9. Data subjects’ rights

In accordance with the GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
