Our customers privacy will be respected, and any ‘personal information’ collected in the footage will only be used for the purposes of asset condition assessment, line monitoring, and maintenance. Customers may ask the operator on site to show them the footage, and if there any concerns, customers can ask for footage to be deleted. Please refer to our Privacy Statement on our website.
