The information you requested - CAS-630855-V1W9W5

I wil answer your questions in the order you have asked them.

Transport related to the disclosure of ANPR data stored indefinitely.
There is an MOU between Police and AT. It covers the sharing of CCTV footage. ANPR data is not
expressly covered by it. ANPR data is made available to police either pursuant to warrant or under
the LGOIMA. Please see attached a copy of the MOU
.
Please provide any privacy assessments, risk assessments, correspondence with the Office of the
Privacy Commissioner or any other privacy agency, related to your (indefinite) ANPR data
retention period.
There has been no particular correspondence in the last 3-5 years with the office of the Privacy
Commissioner in relation to ANPR. There are privacy and risk assessments conducted regularly for
every new CCTV camera including the ANPR data capture aspect. ANPR data is held for 7 days unless
needed for evidential purposes in which case it is kept for up to 7 years. AT only retains anonymised
ANPR data indefinitely, this means that no individual, person or otherwise is identifiable

exist.
Should you believe that we have not responded appropriately to your request, you are able to make
a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman in accordance with section 27(3) of the LGOIMA and
seek an investigation and review in regard to this matter.
