Based on Article 15 of GDPR, current regulations require the data administrator to provide information at the request of the individuals to whom the data concerns. This also applies to providing recordings from video monitoring. 

However, the provided recording should not contain images and other data of third parties not covered by the data access request.

The Gallio PRO software allows users to carry out an automated anonymization process in an easy and transparent way. Thanks to the solutions available in the program, it is possible to hide data such as vehicle registration numbers and people's images. The available software functionalities allow users to choose the method and scope of hiding the above-mentioned data.

Thanks to the use of the Gallio PRO program, our organization fulfills the applicable legal provisions in the field of GDPR. At the same time, automating the anonymization process has significantly reduced the time that the company spends to properly prepare recordings for interested parties.
