Information on video surveillance

We would like to inform you about video surveillance in the building Julie-Wolfthorn-Straße 1, 10115 Berlin. This information is provided in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (“Bundesdatenschutzgesetz”, hereinafter referred to as BDSG).

Project A Services GmbH & Co. KG, Julie-Wolfthorn-Straße 1, 10115 Berlin (hereinafter referred to as “Project A” or “we”) is the controller within the meaning of GDPR for personal data processed in the course of the video surveillance. Should you have any questions or suggestions regarding data protection, please do not hesitate to contact us. You are welcome to direct your data protection concerns to our data protection team by sending an email to [email protected]. Please note that such e-mails are not exclusively accessed by our data protection officer. In addition, you always have the possibility to contact our data protection officer by post at the above address (keyword: "data protection officer"). Our full contact details are available here.

1. Purposes and legal bases of data processing and legitimate interests

Video surveillance serves our legitimate interest in preventing and investigating access to the premises by unauthorised persons and in preventing and investigating criminal offences (in particular property and financial offences). In certain areas where valuable goods are stored, video surveillance also serves our legitimate interest in preventing, investigating and prosecuting offences against property and assets at our expense and represents a reaction to a specific risk or a damage that has already occurred or almost occurred (e.g. theft), whereby there are justified indications of this happening again.

The legal basis for video surveillance is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

2. Areas of video surveillance

The entrances to the floors 1-6 are under video surveillance administered by Project A Services GmbH & Co. KG. Meaning as soon as you leave the staircase or the elevators on floors 1-6, you're under video surveillance.

3. Storage duration

The video recordings are deleted within 72 hours, unless there is a justified case for a longer storage period.

4. Categories of recipients of your personal data and transfer to third countries

In certain cases, we may have to pass on video surveillance footage, which may also show you, to departments and persons within our company, for example to view and analyse the material in the event of a criminal offence. This includes, for example, forwarding the recordings to the legal department or the management.

Data will only be passed on to recipients outside our company if the legal requirements are met. This is the case in particular if the disclosure is necessary for the prosecution of a criminal offence or for the exercise, assertion or defence of civil law claims (e.g. to law enforcement authorities or external lawyers advising us) and the interests of the data subjects do not prevail. If personal data is processed outside the EU or the European Economic Area and the data transfer is not justified by an adequacy decision of the European Commission, we will ensure that sufficient data protection guarantees are in place to protect your data (e.g. EU standard contractual clauses).

The legal basis for the disclosure in such a case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR in conjunction with § 24 para. 1 no. 1 and 2 BDSG and, if applicable, in conjunction with Art. 28 para. 3 GDPR.

5. Your rights in relation to data processing

You have the right to request information about the processing of your personal data by us at any time. When providing you with information, we will explain the data processing and provide you with an overview of the data stored about you. If data stored by us is incorrect or no longer up to date, you have the right to have this data corrected. You can also request the deletion of your data if one of the reasons listed in Art. 17 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued. If there is no reason justifying deletion or if deletion is not possible due to other legal provisions, the data will be blocked so that it is only available for this legal purpose. You can also have the processing of your data restricted according to Art. 18 para. 1 GDPR, e.g. if you believe that the data we have stored is incorrect. You have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. We will then no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (Art. 21 GDPR).

To assert your rights described here, you can contact us at any time using the contact details above.

Finally, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority responsible for us. You can assert this right with a supervisory authority in the Member State of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. In Berlin, the supervisory authority is the Berlin Data Protection Officer, Alt-Moabit 59-61 10555 Berlin, who can be contacted by email at [email protected].
