CCTV Some of the vehicles that are used by drivers are fitted with internal and external CCTVcameras. These cameras are not operated by Infiniti Cars and any data recorded is under the control of the vehicle owner, not Infiniti Cars. The vehicle owner is responsible for the CCTV footage under his or her control. As part of their agreement with Infiniti Cars, any driver who makes any use of CCTV isrequired to ensure that: ● Within the relevant vehicle used, there is a clear sign indicating that CCTV is inoperation; ● Inform any passengers of the presence of CCTV ● The CCTV recording must be available for viewing by a Police Officer or an AuthorisedOfficer of the Council on request. Any failure to comply with this request will be reported tothe Council for consideration of the appropriate action to be taken. The Department for Transport has issued the following guidance on the use of CCTV in licensedvehicles. The use of CCTV can provide a safer environment for the benefit of taxi/private hire vehicle passengers and drivers by: ● deterring and preventing the occurrence of crime ● reducing the fear of crime; ● assisting the Police in investigating incidents of crime; ● assisting insurance companies in investigating motor vehicle accidents. CCTV systems that are able to record audio as well as visual data should be both overt (i.e. all partiesshould be aware when recordings are being made) and targeted (i.e. only when passengers, drivers,consider it necessary). The recording of audio should be used to provide an objective record of eventssuch as disputes or inappropriate behaviour and must not be continuously active by default and shouldrecognise the need for privacy of passengers' private conversations between themselves. Activation ofthe audio recording capability of a system might be instigated when either the passenger or driver operates a switch or button. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has also published a code of practice which, in thiscontext, focuses on the data governance requirements associated with the use of CCTV such as dataretention and disposal, which it is important to follow in order to comply with the data protection principles. https://www.stockton.gov.uk/article/1535/Appendix-L-CCTV-guidance Unforeseen Circumstances Infiniti Cars accepts no responsibility for events beyond our control which affect your journey or our ability to provide you with services you would otherwise reasonably expect of us.
