Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to PJL. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information and content. It also outlines our legal basis for publishing videos recorded in public places.

2. Recording and Publishing Videos

Under UK law, recording individuals in **public places** where there is **no reasonable expectation of privacy** is generally permitted. As such:

  • We **do not require consent** to record or publish videos of individuals in **public settings**, including streets, public transport, shopping areas, and other open-access locations.
  • Videos on PJL may depict **real-life events, incidents, and interactions occurring in public places**.
  • We do not knowingly publish content that violates **privacy laws**, such as recordings inside private homes or locations where individuals have a legal expectation of privacy.

3. Information We Collect

We may collect and process the following data:

  • Personal information (such as name or contact details) if you voluntarily provide it when contacting us.
  • Usage data including IP addresses, browser type, and interactions with our website.
  • Cookies and tracking technologies to improve website functionality.

4. Why We Publish Publicly Recorded Videos

The publication of videos depicting public incidents serves the following purposes:

  • **Public Awareness** – Highlighting real-life incidents to promote discussion and awareness.
  • **Social Accountability** – Showcasing disorderly or aggressive behavior that takes place in public.
  • **Freedom of Expression** – Content published aligns with laws protecting free speech and journalistic content.

5. Requesting Content Removal

We understand that some individuals may wish to request the removal of videos in which they appear. Removal requests will be reviewed under the following criteria:

  • Videos **must not** infringe upon legal rights (e.g., defamation, harassment, or copyright claims).
  • Requests must be **justified**, such as concerns related to **privacy violations** (e.g., footage taken in a non-public setting).
  • We may consider blurring or editing content as an alternative to removal.
  • To request content removal, please contact us at: [email protected].

6. Data Protection and Security

We take security seriously and implement appropriate measures to protect data. However, as our content primarily consists of public recordings, it is exempt from certain **GDPR protections** that apply to private personal data.

7. Sharing of Information

We do not sell or share personal data with third parties, except:

  • When required by law (e.g., law enforcement requests).
  • With service providers assisting in the operation of our website.

8. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies to enhance the user experience. You may modify your browser settings to decline cookies if preferred.
