Request to access, correct or delete information we hold about you

SAR (Right of Access) and how it can help you

The ICO webpage is very informative and can provide you with more detail on what to expect from a SAR.

You can use the form on this page for all requests to access information we hold about you, including: 

  • footage from our CCTV cameras on the highway and from town centres
  • data from our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras

We only keep CCTV footage for 28 days.  Town councils own the CCTV camera systems in towns in Cornwall. Cornwall Council only monitors some CCTV camera systems.  If the town you are contacting us about is not on the Town Centre CCTV page we will not be able to provide the information as we will not have access to it. If this is the case, we will tell you which council to contact. Please see our Town and Parish Councils page for their contact details.
