Information notice on video monitoring in connection with retractable bollards operated by the Service Circulation

The interests of our residents are paramount to the City of Luxembourg ("the City").
Accordingly, protecting your personal data is also a priority for the City. The Service Circulation – which manages the retractable bollards controlling access to the city's pedestrian zones – may be required to process your personal data. This notice reflects our commitment to transparency and explains how we process your personal data – i.e. how we collect, record, store, use, share, archive and delete it – as part of our video monitoring measures. It also explains what your rights are in this regard, and how to exercise them.

In accordance with its public-interest remit, the City has decided to control access to the pedestrian zones by means of retractable bollards. Starting in March 2022, these retractable bollards will be rolled out progressively to prevent vehicular access to the pedestrian zones in compliance with traffic regulations. Save for exceptional cases, only persons with special permits, business operators and the emergency services will be able to gain access to the city centre; they will be given badges and other devices allowing them to enter and exit the pedestrian zones.

These efforts to modernise and adapt our urban infrastructure are designed to ensure that residents, users and visitors enjoy the highest level of safety when they enter the areas that are covered by our video monitoring system. To successfully implement this system, we process some of your personal data, such as your video images.

Such personal data is processed for the following purposes:

• Installing retractable bollards to control access to the pedestrian zones in the city centre, and introducing vehicle filtering measures, as part of the City's public-interest remit. Enabling real-time viewing of video images transmitted by cameras when the call button on the access-control unit is pressed.
• Securing and restricting access to pedestrian zones by raising and lowering the retractable bollards. Combating violations and transgressions. Preventing acts that threaten the safety of persons (users, tourists and business operators) and property (City infrastructure and buildings) in the city centre and surrounding areas that are especially exposed. Identifying behaviour that is likely to cause accidents or incidents.
• Controlling access to pedestrian zones in compliance with the municipal regulations.
• The viewing of video images in real time is not a form of processing that is part of broader routine surveillance of a public space. The caller's voice on the intercom is not processed at the end of the conversation. In the event of disputes or abuse, a detailed report based on the viewing of video images, or the conversation with the caller, may be shared with the City's college of aldermen and/or Service juridique (Legal Department).
• Managing and administering users' or the Authorities' rights with regard to the protection of personal data – in particular, the right of access.

In all cases, the City will ensure that such video data is collected for the purposes listed above, and that it is processed in an appropriate and proper manner, and only to the extent necessary to achieve the intended purposes.

The City of Luxembourg's formal commitment:

The City hereby formally undertakes to use the data it collects only for the purposes mentioned above.

We have conducted an analysis of the need for and proportionality of such data processing. We retain the video files for as little time as possible, and only for as long as it takes to achieve the purposes for which they are being processed. For reasons of data redundancy, the video files are retained for no more than 5 minutes. No functional features enabling access to these video files have been implemented by the City.

• If an incident occurs during the operation of a bollard, technical data that is recorded at the same time as the video files (e.g. operational log files) may be extracted from the system.
• The bollard use and operation data is then saved on another medium for as long as it takes to complete the procedures in connection with the incident (to protect the City's interests), and is accessible only to persons authorised for that purpose.

In addition to being accessible to City of Luxembourg departments, your personal data may be forwarded to Luxembourg's judicial authorities or the police.

Your personal data is processed only by a team of specialist operators from the Service Circulation, who are on duty around the clock. At this time, the City does not transfer your personal data outside the European Union for processing. The City may subcontract all or part of the data processing.

• If you have any comments or queries in connection with the processing of your personal data, or if you wish to exercise your rights as listed above, you may contact the City's Data Protection Officer (DPO).
