In the contemporary world, the right to privacy stands as one of the fundamental human rights, playing a pivotal role in upholding the freedom and security of every individual. The GDPR, Privacy in Electronic Communications Regulations (PECRs) and Data Protection Act 2018 (or DPA) is the laws on privacy in the United Kingdom that makes a Privacy Policy mandatory. Recognizing the significance of this right, dashcamUK holds in high regard and respects the principles of privacy and personal data protection.
We do not collect unnecessary information about you, since we do not need to know more about you than is necessary for our application to work and to maintain convenient communication with you. We do not monetise with Advertising either, so we don't need any personal information to target you.
We save the collected information no more than is necessary, taking into account the requirements of the law.
We do not share or sell personal information to third parties.
The privacy policy is an integral part of the dashcamUK mobile application user agreement.

The appeal "you", "yours" found in the text of the Policy should be considered an appeal to the Users of the Application.
Violator - a person who violated the Traffic Rules. Within the terminology of this Privacy Policy and for ease of understanding, we call the Violator a person who hypothetically violated Traffic Rules and a video recording with evidence of such a violation was taken by the User of the application and transferred to dashcamUK.
Personal data - any information about an individual who is identified or can be identified, that is, any information we have about the Users, installed the Application, and information about the Violators that is transmitted to us by the users of the application.
Processing of personal data - any processes and actions with personal data, from its collection, use and storage, transfer for its intended purpose, ending with its disposal.
GDPR - Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) 2016 of April 27, 2016 on the protection of individuals in connection with the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46 / EC (General Data Protection Regulation).

Who processes your personal data
The controller of your personal data, for managing and safeguarding your personal data, in accordance with the legal provisions pertaining to the protection of personal information, is the Limited Liability Company "DESHKEMUA".
You can contact us by sending us your message at: dashcamUcontact@gmail.com.
Where your personal data is transferred
To process and store your personal data, we use Google cloud services, namely the servers of the Google Cloud Platform (Google Firebase), located in the United States.
Since the Controller is located on the territory of Ukraine, some of your personal data may be transferred to Ukraine (if you are located outside Ukraine).
If we receive a reasonable request from State Authorities (court), which is mandatory in accordance with the law, your personal data may be transferred to such State Authorities.
Where personal data of violators are transferred
The personal data of the violators, recorded on the video of the violation of the Traffic Rules, are transferred to the authorized local unit of the UK National Police.
Who has access to your personal data
The Controller and its employees have access to personal data solely for the purpose of fulfilling their job duties and obligations.
All persons who have access to personal data that are processed to fulfill the purposes of the Application have signed the nondisclosure document to keep your personal data secure.
Thus, we ensure the confidentiality of the personal data received through the Application.
How we collect personal data
Some of the information that we process about you is provided to us directly by you, when you install and register in the Application.
Some of the information about you is obtained from the application while it is running. For example, information about the geolocation obtained using the phone's GPS module but only when you tap the screen of your mobile phone in order to record a video evidence of a traffic rule violation. In this case information may include both information about you and information about other persons - road users or violators of the Traffic Rules.
A video recording of a specific traffic incident is stored on the device and transmitted to us only if User decides to report the violation and use video evidence as a proof of it. It is solely the decision of the user to submit a report to the police.
In case if a User opts for functionality of the Crash Detection the information about the detected crash will be transmitted automatically. When opting for Crash Detection, the user provides his consent and authorizes dashcamUK to immediately transfer emergency data information to the Rescue Services and (if picked by User) to the contact list of relatives and friends to be informed about the car crash. Information which will be automatically transmitted immediately after collision is detected includes: GPS coordinates of the collision, video from the main camera of the user’s mobile phone on which dashcamUK application is running, video from selfie camera of the user’s mobile phone. Both video files contain only 5 sec before the collision and 5 sec after the collision. Both videos help to see all peripheral details of the crash and see how many people were in the car during the collision.
With the development of our application and the launch of new services that you want to use, we may need your other personal data. In this case, we will make the corresponding changes to this Privacy Policy.

The video evidence of the violation of the Traffic Rules, made with the help of the Application, is sent to us by the User together with information about the license plate of the vehicle of the Violator and the Type of Violation.
As the first step, the data reaches the server of the Google Cloud Platform system (Google Firebase), and then reviewed by employees of the Controller. After checking that the evidence is fully represented in the video, an official Report is then generated to the police. Report contains all details about the incident (timestamp, exact GPS location) and online access to review the video evidence.
The application does not have the functionality to download third-party videos (for example videos taken with a car's dashboard camera). This is done in order to ensure the integrity of the video (prevention of fraud, editing, changing parts of the image, etc.), as evidence of a violation of the Traffic Rules.
We use user's phone number for:
- communication with User as a witness to the violation of Traffic Rules (if necessary);
- informing User about the status of each of the Reports submitted via dashcamUK application.
We do not share any videos we receive from Users with third parties. We send videos only to the police, or upon request from the court. Some videos with examples of brutal violations of the Traffic Rules could be used for demo video in dascamUa social channels
Processing time:
Information about the violation of the Traffic Rules, including video recordings and personal data of the Violators and witnesses of the violation, is kept by us during the period of investigation of the administrative or criminal case, as well as during the period of appeal.
