AUT operates CCTV on its campus which for the purposes of this statement include any Student Accommodation managed by the University located outside of the physical campus). This means information about what individuals are doing on a AUT campus may be collected and held by the AUT.

Information will be stored on AUT files and database(s) or those of its service providers and all reasonable security measures will be maintained. Where a service provider is located outside of New Zealand, personal information held by the University may be transferred outside of New Zealand.

Purposes of CCTV operation

The purpose of collecting information is to:

  • Deter criminal activity
  • Increase personal safety of staff, students, and other members of the public
  • Protect AUT’s property and the property of staff, students and members of the public
  • Assist AUT to investigate student and/or staff incidents or those involving members of the public, and
  • Assist AUT to manage the campuses and any Student Accommodation that may located outside of the physical campuses.

Disclosure of information held

Information collected may be disclosed to, and published by the NZ Police, if they decide that is desirable in the circumstances. The information collected may be accessed by AUT staff and used for the purposes specified in this statement. Limited information may also be provided to vehicle owners or their authorised agents, to pursue compensation or damages claims (where applicable).  That will be upon proof that they have notified the Police and have received a complaint acknowledgement form.

Access to CCTV information

Individuals identified on CCTV have the right to ask for access to footage about them. AUT will make information held about an individual available to them upon request and in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020, which also describes the conditions under which information may be withheld. Individuals have the right to request correction of personal information held in accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Act 2020.

If an individual wishes to seek access to their personal information, or inquire about the handling of their personal information, contact the Student Privacy Officer. You may need to provide specific details about the nature of your relationship with the University and the information you are seeking so that we can easily locate it for you.

We will respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable and no later than 20 working days after we receive it.

A majority of the times that an individual is identified on CCTV (and that information is to be provided to the police) is when they are accused of a crime, therefore that information would be available to them via disclosure from police – there is no requirement for AUT to be the third agent in these scenarios. On occasions ‘victims’ may seek CCTV footage, the same criteria as indicated above needs to apply.
