Legislation

LGPD · Lei 13.709/2018 · Art. 9 · Art. 11

This Privacy Policy describes how Multicam Monitoramentos Ltda ("we," "our" or "the Company") collects, uses, stores and protects personal data in connection with our electronic security system monitoring services in Flores da Cunha, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Electronic security monitoring is an inherently data-intensive activity. CCTV footage captures images of individuals. Alarm event logs record when people enter and leave properties. Access control systems track who accesses which area at what time. These are all personal data under the LGPD (Lei nº 13.709/2018) — in some cases, they are biometric data (Art. 5º, II), which are sensitive personal data subject to the heightened protections of Art. 11 of the LGPD. This Policy addresses the specific privacy obligations that arise from electronic security monitoring with the seriousness they require.

01

Introduction and Scope

This Policy applies to all personal data processed in connection with our electronic security monitoring activities — including clients who contract our monitoring services, individuals whose images are captured by CCTV systems we monitor, individuals whose access events are recorded by access control systems we manage, website visitors who submit quote requests, and any person whose data we process. We process personal data both as a controller (for client and contract data) and as a processor / operator (for surveillance footage and alarm event data collected at client properties, where the client is the controller and we act on their instructions).

Personal Data We Collect

A. Client and contract data (Multicam as controller):

  • Client name (individual or company), CPF or CNPJ, address of the monitored property, WhatsApp, email and emergency contact — for the monitoring contract and NF-e issuance.
  • Technical data about the security system installed at the client property — equipment type, zones, alarm codes — necessary to provide the monitoring service.
  • Alarm event history per client — date, time and type of event — retained as part of the service log and used to assess the performance of the security system.

B. Surveillance data at client properties (Multicam as processor/operator):

  • CCTV footage: Images captured by cameras installed at client properties, transmitted to or accessible by our monitoring central. This data belongs to the client (as controller) — we process it on their behalf under the monitoring contract.
  • Alarm event data: Triggered zone, time, duration and reset of each alarm event at the client property — used for incident response and reporting.
  • Access control logs: For properties with access control monitoring — records of who accessed which area at what time, including biometric data where biometric readers are installed. Biometric data is sensitive personal data under LGPD Art. 5º, II and is subject to the heightened protections of Art. 11.

C. Website and quote data:

  • Name, WhatsApp and property description when submitting a quote request via the website.
  • Technical data — IP address, browser type and pages visited.

Sharing of Data

Surveillance footage — strictly restricted sharing: CCTV footage from client properties is the most sensitive data we handle. It is shared with third parties only in three circumstances: (1) with the client themselves upon request; (2) with police or relevant law enforcement authorities in response to a confirmed security incident, and only upon formal request or court order; (3) with the emergency contact designated by the client in response to a confirmed alarm event. Footage is never shared for any commercial purpose, with insurance companies without the client's express consent, or with any party not essential to the immediate incident response.
  • Police / law enforcement (Polícia Militar do RS, Polícia Civil): In the event of a confirmed intrusion or security incident — footage and alarm event logs shared only upon formal request, court order, or under imminent safety necessity. Always documented and logged.
  • Client emergency contact: Designated by the client in the monitoring contract — alerted in case of confirmed alarm event when the client cannot be reached.
  • Monitoring equipment suppliers / technical support: Technical data about the security system (not surveillance footage or personal data) shared where necessary for equipment maintenance or troubleshooting.
  • SEFAZ-RS / Receita Federal: NF-e data — client CNPJ or CPF on service invoices.
  • ISS / Prefeitura de Flores da Cunha: ISS bookkeeping on monitoring services rendered.
  • PROCON-RS / Senacon: When required in consumer disputes.
  • Legal authorities: When required by court order or administrative authority.
06

International Transfers

Our monitoring central and primary data infrastructure are based in Flores da Cunha, RS. CCTV footage and alarm event data from client properties are processed in Brazil. Some monitoring platforms and remote access applications may operate servers in international data centres — where this is the case, we ensure data transfer is subject to the protections of Art. 33 of the LGPD and that the platform has adequate data protection certifications. Tax records (NF-e) are processed exclusively in systems certified by the Receita Federal and SEFAZ-RS.

07

Retention Periods

CCTV footage retention — standard and exceptions: The standard retention period for CCTV footage from monitored properties is 30 days, after which recordings are automatically overwritten. This is the industry standard in Brazil and is consistent with LGPD proportionality principles — retaining footage longer than necessary for security purposes without specific legal justification is a disproportionate processing. Exceptions to the 30-day standard: (a) footage relating to a confirmed security incident is preserved for the duration of any related police investigation or insurance claim, or for a maximum of 1 year if no formal process is initiated; (b) if the client specifically requests longer retention in the monitoring contract (up to a maximum of 90 days), this is documented as a separate data processing instruction from the client as controller.
  • Alarm event logs (date, time, type): Retained for 2 years — used for service performance analysis and as documentary record in case of insurance claims or disputes about the monitoring service.
  • Access control logs (non-biometric): Retained for 90 days by default, unless the client (as controller) specifies a different retention period in the contract.
  • Biometric access control data: Retained only for the duration of the service contract — deleted upon contract termination, as biometric data cannot be regenerated and its prolonged retention poses disproportionate risk to data subjects.
  • Client and contract data: Retained for the duration of the contract and for 5 years after termination — consistent with tax retention requirements for NF-e and standard contractual limitation periods.
  • NF-e (ISS Flores da Cunha / SEFAZ-RS): Minimum 5 years as required by Brazilian tax law.
  • Website quote requests without contract: Up to 1 year from the date of the request.
08

Security Measures

  • Access to live CCTV feeds from client properties restricted to monitoring central operators during active shifts — no unrestricted access to recorded footage;
  • Client alarm codes and property access credentials stored in encrypted systems with role-based access control;
  • Biometric data stored in access-controlled databases separate from general client data, with encryption at rest;
  • CCTV footage transmitted to monitoring central via encrypted channels (TLS);
  • Physical security of the monitoring central (Flores da Cunha) — our own premises are secured with the systems we sell, providing a practical demonstration of our standards;
  • Staff trained on LGPD obligations specific to surveillance data — including the prohibition on accessing footage for purposes other than security monitoring;
  • NF-e issued using a certified digital certificate (A1/A3) approved by the Receita Federal;
  • Website encrypted (HTTPS);
  • Incident response procedures in accordance with LGPD Art. 48.
09

Your Rights under the LGPD

Clients (as controllers of surveillance data at their properties): As the client who contracted our monitoring service, you are the controller of the CCTV footage and alarm event data at your property. You have the right to access footage and logs, to request their deletion (subject to incident-related retention), and to instruct us to share footage with specified parties. We process this data on your instructions.

Third parties captured by surveillance systems (e.g., employees, visitors): If your image was captured by a CCTV system that Multicam monitors, your privacy rights are exercised primarily against the controller — the property owner who installed the camera. We can direct your request to the appropriate client if you identify the specific property and incident.

All data subjects — LGPD rights:

  • Confirmation and Access (Art. 18, I–II): Confirm what data we hold and receive a copy.
  • Deletion (Art. 18, IV): Request deletion — subject to legal retention obligations (NF-e: 5 years; incident footage: as described in Section 07).
  • Complaint to the ANPD (Art. 18, §1º): Lodge a complaint at www.gov.br/anpd.

We respond within 15 business days.

Minors

Our electronic security monitoring services are directed at adult individuals and organisations. CCTV systems installed at properties may capture images of minors — for example, at family homes or schools. In these cases, the camera installation and monitoring is contracted by and under the responsibility of the adult client. We apply heightened care in any situation involving footage of minors: such footage is never shared beyond the strict necessity of an active security incident, and we treat any image of a minor in our systems with the protections applicable to minors' data under LGPD Art. 14.

CCTV, Alarm Logs, Biometric Data and LGPD

CCTV as personal data — LGPD application to surveillance: The LGPD defines personal data as "information referring to an identified or identifiable natural person" (Art. 5º, I). Video footage that captures the face, gait, clothing or other identifying characteristics of an individual is personal data. A CCTV system that records employees arriving at a warehouse, customers entering a shop, or residents entering a building is processing personal data for every person captured. Multicam Monitoramentos operates as a processor/operator of this data — the client (property owner) is the controller responsible for the lawfulness of the surveillance. We process the footage on behalf of and under the instructions of our clients. This means clients are responsible for: (a) informing persons who may be captured that CCTV is in operation (through visible signage as required by LGPD good practice); (b) having a lawful basis for the surveillance (typically legitimate security interest — Art. 7º, IX); (c) establishing a data processing agreement with Multicam (Art. 39 LGPD). We can provide a standard data processing agreement template to all clients upon request.
Biometric data — heightened protection under LGPD Art. 11: Access control systems that use fingerprint, facial recognition or other biometric identifiers process biometric data, which is explicitly classified as sensitive personal data under LGPD Art. 5º, II. The processing of sensitive personal data is subject to the more restrictive requirements of Art. 11 — it requires either express and specific consent (Art. 11, I) or another narrowly defined legal basis. For biometric access control systems, the appropriate basis is typically the explicit consent of the persons whose biometric data is enrolled in the system. Multicam recommends that clients who deploy biometric access control: (a) obtain documented, specific consent from each person whose biometric data is enrolled; (b) use biometric data only for access control — not for time tracking, performance monitoring or any other purpose; (c) inform employees or users of the biometric system before enrolment. We provide technical support to configure biometric systems with data minimisation — collecting only the biometric template necessary for recognition, not storing raw biometric images.
CCTV signage obligation and notice to monitored individuals: Under LGPD principles of transparency (Art. 6º, VI) and the right to information (Art. 9º), individuals who may be captured by CCTV should be informed that surveillance is in operation. The standard mechanism is visible, legible signage at the entrance to any surveilled area — indicating that CCTV is in operation, who is responsible (the property owner / client), and how to exercise privacy rights. Multicam provides its clients with a standard CCTV notice template upon request. The obligation to install and maintain signage rests with the client as the controller of the surveillance system. However, as part of our service, we remind clients of this obligation when a new system is commissioned.
NF-e for monitoring services — ISS Flores da Cunha / SEFAZ-RS: Electronic security monitoring services are subject to ISS of the Municipality of Flores da Cunha. The NF-e for monitoring services is issued monthly or per the billing cycle agreed in the contract — with the client's CNPJ or CPF as the service recipient. For commercial clients, the NF-e for monitoring services is an allowable business expense deductible for IRPJ/CSLL purposes. For condominium managers, the NF-e is required for the documentation of common area security expenditure. The CNPJ or CPF on the NF-e is retained for the mandatory 5-year period under Brazilian tax legislation.

Access to footage by Multicam operators: Our monitoring central operators in Flores da Cunha access live and recorded footage from client properties only for the following purposes: (a) responding to an active alarm event; (b) verifying a triggered zone; (c) responding to a client request for footage review; (d) system testing and quality verification. Operators do not access footage for any other purpose. Access to client footage systems by Multicam staff is logged — any access outside the above purposes would constitute a breach of our operating procedures and LGPD obligations.
