Automated Business Reception - Privacy Notice

For the processing to which this notice relates to be carried out we use the following information:

• Visitors to The Civic Building: Name, email address and organisation you work for if applicable. The self-check in system will also take your photograph, which is printed onto your visitors sticker for Health and Safety reasons.
• Staff organising meetings: The automated business reception is integrated with the Active Directory and uses the following information, Name, telephone number, email address, work title, place of work.

We collect your information from you directly when organising meetings with you.

Your information will be used for booking meetings using our automated business reception booking system. It will also be used for Health and Safety purposes and in the event of the evacuation of the building. The information is used to allow you to self-check in when you arrive for your meeting, the system will also take your photograph, which is printed onto your visitors sticker. Your photograph is included in the email that is sent to your meeting organisers informing them that you have arrived in the building. The information is used to allow you to self-check out when your meeting ends.

The legal basis for processing your information is that it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to ensure the Health and Safety of both staff and visitors in the Civic Building.

We sometimes need to share your information within the Council or with other organisations. We will only share your information when necessary and when the law allows us to, and we will only share the minimum information we need to. For automated business solution matters, we may need to share your information with:

• Emergency Services, if we have to evacuate the building in an emergency the solution has an Evac App, which will show a list of names of who is still signed in as being a visitor in the building. In the event of an evacuation, this information would be used to see if any visitors are still in the building.
• We will also share your information with other meeting attendees, which may be internal or external to the Council.

The Council will never sell your information to anyone else.
