Data control and handling Data gathered by the REM equipment will be held by the MMO and subject to the relevant provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 Footage and data gathered may be used in an aggregated and anonymous form in publications and reports produced by, for and on behalf of MMO. All data will be treated as commercially sensitive in the instance. The data will be owned by the MMO. The data will be subject to access to information legislation (e.g. the Freedom of Information Act 2000/ Environmental Information Regulations 2004) and requests for the data will be answered following standard processes under the relevant legislation. Personal data (which may include CCTV footage and catch data) will protected in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. In addition to the purposes of the scheme, the data may be used by the MMO for compliance and enforcement purposes, including being used as evidence to support civil or criminal proceedings. Hard drives must be kept on the vessel at all times until requested by the MMO. Data will be transferred to a secure server for processing and a replacement hard drive will be fitted to allow the vessel to continue fishing operations. The data/footage will be erased 6 months after the date recorded, unless required for ongoing enforcement action. Some data may be temporarily retained for up to an additional 6 months to allow scientific analysis to be conducted and papers to be written. Information obtained by the REM system and by observers will be retained and used for the purposes of the project only, except that such information may be used by the MMO or released to other bodies if it is necessary for the investigation or prosecution of persons, or for any other purpose required by law. Data may be retained for longer periods or for uses than those listed above only with the express written consent of the vessel owners. General conditions All vessels operating in the scheme must complete an fishing logbook in accordance with article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) 1224/ 2009. All catches (retained marketable and retained undersized/ damaged) of stocks subject to the landing obligation must be recorded separately in the logbook. Project participants are required to comply with any seasonal and real time closures for the purposes of protecting juvenile or spawning fish.
