Video surveillance:
On June 12, 2008, the MAISEL Governing Board voted to equip all buildings with a video surveillance system. The project aims to ensure security but also to prevent damage to furniture and other equipment found in the common areas of the buildings. The system aims to prevent robbery and break-ins as well.

The MAISEL first obtained authorization from the French police, who decided that the project did not fall within the jurisdiction of the Commission for Video Surveillance for the Department Essonne. The police specified that the MAISEL was a private entity and not public in the legal sense, although all MAISEL buildings remain subject to Article 9 of the Civil code and Article 226-1 of the Criminal Code.

A declaration concerning the treatment of personal data was sent to the « CNIL » which delivered an acknowledgement of MAISEL’s declaration n°1365032 dated May 19, 2009.

The MAISEL has since progressively equipped its buildings with video surveillance equipment. The project is now completed with video cameras in all common areas. Information screens are located in the entry hall of all buildings, in conformity with law n°95-73 of January 21, 1995, as modified by law 2006-64 of January 23, 2006 and decree n° 96-926 dated October 17, 1996.

For all questions concerning resident rights to their recorded images, please ask the President of the MAISEL SudParis.
