Purpose
The purpose of CCTV surveillance is to prevent crime, such as burglary and vandalism, and to assist the police in investigating crime.
Monitored areas and information about them
In accordance with Section 2d(1) of the Danish CCTV Surveillance Act, the National Museum monitors the museum grounds immediately adjacent to the entrances and facades of its own buildings.
Signs with pictograms and QR codes have been placed at the entrances to the museum's buildings and visitor areas. When the QR code is scanned, this policy can be accessed in Danish and English.
This CCTV surveillance policy is also available at the information desk. Museets medarbejdere er informeret om tv-overvågningen i museets privatlivspolitik for medarbejdere, der i dag udleveres i forbindelse med ansættelsen, ligesom politikken er tilgængelig i personalehåndbogen.
Craftsmen and others who regularly visit the museum are provided with information about CCTV surveillance prior to their work/visit.
The National Museum's external cameras are registered in the police register (POLCAM).
In accordance with Article 14 of the General Data Protection Regulation, the National Museum, as data controller, must inform the persons being monitored of their rights in connection with the processing of the information.
