Computer Help NZ uses “Closed Circuit Television” (CCTV) capturing both sound and footage, is used in particular areas to monitor all those who enter the premises of 160b Selwyn Street. We do this in order to help reduce crime and theft, and, on the very rare occasion, to any report any criminal or violent behaviour from customers or employees.
We have signage that indicates where CCTV equipment is operating. CCTV footage will only be viewed by authorised staff and representatives from public law enforcement agencies (e.g. the NZ Police) in accordance with the purpose noted above, or when checking that the system is operational. No attempt will be made to identify individuals from CCTV footage except in cases of reported or suspected incidents requiring investigation, or in relation to any legal proceedings.
You have the right to ask for a copy of any personal information we hold about you, and to ask for it to be corrected if you think it is wrong. If you’d like to ask for a copy of your information, or to have it corrected, please contact us by mail at 160b Selwyn Street, Christchurch 8024, or call on 0800349669.
