Security Camera Procedure

(CCTV Systems)

Ono Academic College

    1. In general, the placement of a security camera will be carried out according to its necessity, taking into account the camera's location, type, shooting angles, and image quality, with prior and accompanying planning, and with minimal possible infringement on privacy.
    2. All security cameras at Ono Academic Campus will be synchronized with the national security center.
    3. Any change in the placement of an existing security camera will be reviewed by the Security Manager/Deputy Security Manager in accordance with this procedure.
    4. Body Cameras:
      1. The body camera system enables continuous and objective documentation of a 'security incident' at Ono Academic College, such as terror attacks, violence, public disturbances, violent demonstrations, and safety incidents.
      2. Ono Academic College utilizes a body camera system. This system serves as a complementary layer and force multiplier to the static security camera system, designed to enhance documentation, monitoring, and oversight capabilities. Body cameras will be operated solely for security and safety purposes, and for managing and activating C2 (Command and Control) capabilities in extreme events, based on principles of transparency, proportionality, and minimal infringement on privacy, all in accordance with applicable legal provisions.
      3. Body cameras will be placed in a visible and prominent location on the security personnel, allowing the camera lens to fully document the event while also informing those in the immediate vicinity of the camera's presence.
      4. Body cameras will be activated proactively by security department personnel at the start of an unusual security incident and will be deactivated immediately upon its conclusion. When a body camera is activated, an automatic notification informs those in the vicinity of its operation. Notwithstanding the above, a body camera will not be operated, if possible, to document a minor, a victim of an offense immediately after the incident, or a person in a sensitive medical or mental state.
      5. Any activation of a body camera by a security department member will be documented in the events/operations log at the security control center and filed together with an exceptional security incident report.
      6. The documentation captured by body cameras will be recorded alongside the incident report.
    5. Information security and retention:
      1. The information database will be stored, managed, and secured in accordance with Ono Academic College's information security policy and subject to applicable law.
      2. The information will be stored for a limited and proportionate period according to the purposes for which it was collected, in accordance with information security rules and under the guidance of the information security manager.
      3. The databases will be stored for a period of up to 45 days. After this period, they will be automatically deleted using secure deletion mechanisms based on the FIFO method. In the event of an unusual incident, and if there is a need to retain a specific video segment for investigation, inquiry, disciplinary, or legal proceedings, etc., that segment may be stored for an additional period not exceeding 3 years, subject to consultation with the legal advisor and the privacy protection officer. Any further extension of the retention period beyond those specified above will require the approval of the Security Manager and the Information Security Manager and will be documented in the incident log at the National Security Center.
      4. Any transfer of information from databases to third parties will only be made with the approval of the Security Manager and the Information Security Manager, in consultation with legal counsel and the Privacy Protection Officer, and all in accordance with the provisions of applicable law.
    6. Supervision and Control:
      1. The Security Manager will assess the necessity of all security cameras installed in Ono Academic College's premises as part of the annual situation assessment.
      2. The Security Manager and the Information Security Manager will continuously monitor and review the implementation of the instructions in this procedure.
      3. This procedure is valid from the moment of its publication.
      4. Ono Academic College may amend the provisions of this procedure from time to time. Material changes will be made after consultation with the Security Manager, Information Security Manager, VP of Logistics, Privacy Protection Officer, and Legal Advisor.

          3. Information captured by security cameras constitutes 'personal information' as defined in the Privacy Protection Law.
