CCTV at our venue

We use CCTV at Elements Live Lounge for crime prevention and public safety.

What we record

Our system records video images in and around the venue.

Why we use CCTV

  • To help keep customers, staff, and performers safe
  • To prevent and detect crime and anti-social behaviour
  • To assist with incident investigation where necessary

How long footage is kept

CCTV footage is retained for a limited period and is automatically overwritten.

In most cases, footage is kept for a minimum of 31 days, with some recordings retained for a longer period where system capacity allows. Storage duration can vary depending on factors such as recording quality and system usage, but footage is not kept indefinitely.

Relevant footage may be securely retained for longer where required for investigation or legal purposes.

Who we share it with

Footage may be shared with law enforcement or relevant authorities where required for the prevention or investigation of crime.

Your rights

You can request access to CCTV footage that includes you. To help us locate it, you will need to provide:

  • Date and approximate time
  • Where you were in the venue
  • A description of yourself

We may not be able to provide footage where it would affect the privacy of others, where it cannot reasonably be located, or where exemptions apply.
