Purposes of data processing under GDPR
The purpose of the deployment is to facilitate those who enjoy watching rail operations to be able to pursue their interest remotely without having to visit sites in person.
The lawful basis for the processing.
The lawful basis under Article 6 UK GDPR is:
“(f) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.”
The legitimate interests for the processing.
The legitimate interests being pursued in this case are the provision of the Railcam service to subscribers and others with an interest in railway operations and the promotion of the ELR and its surrounding environment.
The processing will not involve special category data.
The categories of personal data obtained.
• ELR staff
• ELR volunteers
