Our Privacy Policy is a statement that informs individuals about how their personal data is being used and processed by Corsight Ai in accordance with data protection laws. In that regard the contents of our Privacy Policy also serves as a Privacy Notice for the purposes of those jurisdictions and actions to which the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom GDPR may be applicable.
This document is supplemented by our Data Protection Policy which is accessible on the ‘Trust Centre’ file of our public facing web site.
Corsight AI Ltd. (“Corsight”, “we”) is committed to maintaining the privacy of its users (“user”,“you”) and all data subjects where we process their personal data. The following information describes how Corsight AI collects and processes information about you.
Our Privacy Policy explains:
1. What information we collect.
Organisational and Customer/third party information. We may collect the name, contact information of those that we employ and who work in support of the lawful function of our business, as well as those who are users of our goods and services.
Information provided to us from any source. We may collect and store personal information which is lawfully provided to us from any source in connection with the legitimate conduct of our business, whether provided by individuals themselves, third parties or collected from public or licensed sources.
Types of information that we process. We may collect and store personal information about you which is lawfully provided to us such as your name, address, email and phone numbers, job title, employing organisation and photograph. In addition, where messages or other communications by any reasonable and auditable means are transacted with us we will collect any personal or non-personal information provided in or with the communication. This information may be used to respond to your communication, to improve our products and services, or for other purposes as described in this Privacy Policy.
Our on-line services and website usage details, IP address and Cookies. When any user accesses our services including our web site or other available digital resources, we may automatically collect certain information about usage activity. This may include the user’s IP address, browser information, approximate location data, search history within our services, user website preferences, settings, and login history. The information does not directly identify you unless you have chosen to provide us with identifying information. Our website provides information regarding Corsight’s solution for real time facial recognition, advanced analytics and object detection (the: “Platform”). Corsight’s Platform maintains high accuracy in large and densely populated crowds while it enables environments to stop real-time threats and maximize enterprise safety. Some information may be automatically collected, and some is collected when you interact with our website or other on-line services. The type of information that may be automatically collected may or may not amount to being personal information and includes your session durations, the content you accessed on the website, the frequency and scope of your use of the website and information about your computer and internet connection including the operating system you use and browser type. Information from which you can be personally identified may also be collected, including but not limited to your name, email address and the approximate geographic location of the computer through which you used the website as determined by its IP address.
Photographs and inherent biometric/special category data. We may collect personal information in the form of photographs and data of facial images in circumstances where it is lawful for us to do so. We may process those images to produce a template of features, otherwise known as being a biometric facial template, for the purposes of producing, training, developing, reviewing and improving the effectiveness of the algorithms within the technology we produce. This type of data amounts to being ‘special category data’ and will also enable us to identify and assess risk and issues such as consistency and effectiveness in demographic accuracy so that we may assure the integrity of our goods and services. We will also process data of this nature when exposing our technology for independent third party assessment by accredited assessors, those with a lawful purpose to assess our products and those having a statutory obligation to conduct due diligence upon the equality, Human Rights and compliance credentials of our goods and services. Examples of such a statutory undertaking include the Public Sector Equality Duty inherent in the Equalities Act 2010 within the UK jurisdiction, as well as Conformity Assessments required by the AI Act within the EU.
Information provided by individuals seeking to exercise their data rights. Where we receive a request to exercise a right identified in this notice, in order to fulfil the individual’s request, we may collect that individual’s email address, contact information, photo, an image of the requester or other information required by applicable law, solely to the extent necessary to verify the identity of the requester and to fulfil the request in accordance with legal obligations.
Children’s Data. Ordinarily we as an organisation will not process the personal data of children. However, we may process children’s data in limited circumstances as specified below. The facial recognition technology (FRT) that we produce has a number of applications which are specifically targeted at protecting children from risks of harm or causing harms, pursuant of our legitimate purpose of helping to deliver safer societies. Examples are the safeguarding and searching for lost, kidnapped, trafficked and vulnerable children, identifying children of an age where they are criminally culpable and are wanted for criminal offences or otherwise vulnerable to criminal exploitation. This is not an exhaustive list. It is with these circumstances in mind that the datasets with which we train our algorithms to recognise faces, need to have the ingredient of children’s images within so that they have the capability to recognise young faces and thereby help to protect. We will only use such personal data of children in the form of facial images where such data is lawfully obtained, where we have a legitimate interest for doing so and a substantial public interest for processing any special category data derived therefrom. We do not share personal data of children which may be part of our training datasets. However, as part of our FRT we may provide the capability to recognise children through algorithms trained on datasets that contain children’s data. These matters are the subject of particular assessment in our organisational Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA). Those organisations employing our technology will similarly conduct assessments of their own where such circumstances arise.
2. Why We collect the information.

Data Security. The processing of personal data is conducted by Corsight using state of the art security measures including encryption, firewalls and cyber security methodology which meets accredited ‘cyber essentials’ accreditation.

4. Our Lawful Basis for Processing Personal Data.
We process personal data in accordance with applicable laws. The legal basis upon which we will rely to process your personal data will depend upon the relevant circumstances associated with that processing. The common legal basis’s upon which we rely are shown below. If you reside in, or use the Platform or our services within, a jurisdiction where privacy laws require “consent” as the sole or primary legal basis for processing personal data (whether generally, for specific categories of personal data you choose to process, or due to the nature of such processing), your acceptance of our Term and Conditions and/or this Privacy Policy and/or use in the Platform, Website or services, will constitute your consent to the processing of your personal data for all purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless applicable law mandates a different form of consent.
Legitimate Purpose. In general, the primary legal basis upon which we rely to process personal information is where data processing is necessary in pursuit of a ‘legitimate interest.’ Our legitimate interest is explained as follows;
Contract. We may rely upon this legal basis to process personal information where it is necessary for the establishment of a contract which we establish with a client or other third party and where that personal information is necessary to meet the requirements of the contract. These circumstances include actions between ourselves and third parties where a contract is under discussion and negotiation, our engagement with a client throughout the duration of a contract, and activities after a contract has concluded to review and establish the compliance and quality of our service delivery.
Consent. We may on occasions seek your consent to process your personal data where it is necessary for us to do so. To comply with data protection laws, your consent must be specific, informed and be an unambiguous indication of your wishes which is accompanied by a clear and unambiguous affirmative action which signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to you. Where we require your consent we will provide you with full details of the personal information that we would like to process and the reason why we wish to process it in that way, so that you can carefully consider whether you wish to consent. Your consent may be indicated in a number of ways, for example within email or other electronic communication medium, or by activating relevant ‘agreement’ or ‘consent’ functionality on our web site and on-line services. You are free to withdraw your consent at any time and can do so by simply contacting the data controller, as described later in this document, by email at: [email protected]. If you withdraw your consent, it will not necessarily affect the lawfulness of any processing based on your consent before you withdrew it. Where applicable, we may ask for your consent to processing at the point where you provide your personal information.
Legal Obligation. We may rely on this legal basis where the processing of personal information is necessary for Corsight to comply with the law (but not a contractual undertaking).
Other legal basis such as “Public Task” and ‘Vital Interest’ are unlikely to apply to the processing of personal information by Corsight, however if they were to apply we will inform you in advance of any data processing activity taking place.
Special Category Data. In addition to the determination of a relevant legal basis for the processing of personal information, we rely upon a substantial public interest condition and the Union or EU Member State law where we process biometric/facial recognition data. Those substantial public interest considerations include provision of high performing and diversity equitable FRT for the purposes of facilitating; preventing unlawful acts including terrorism, protecting the public, protecting critical and important infrastructure, meeting regulatory requirements, preventing fraud, statutory and government purposes, equality of opportunity and treatment, protecting public health, safeguarding children and individuals at risk, supporting judicial processes, statutory and government purposes. This is not necessarily an exhaustive list.
5. Your rights with regard to the collection of such information.
In some jurisdictions, in particular those located within the European Union or within the European Economic Area and the US State of Illinois, you may be afforded specific rights regarding your personal information. Depending upon the data protection laws which are applicable to you, you may have the following rights which are enshrined in the GDPR. They are:
In addition to the above, you have the right to lodge a complaint about our handling of your personal information to the relevant competent data authority. In the UK the Information Commissioner’s Office is the competent authority, the address for contact being Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.
6. Retention and Disposal of Information.
We retain personal information for no longer is necessary for us to carry out the purposes for which it is originally collected and also where it is necessary for us to comply with our legitimate business purposes, including to meet our legal, regulatory, or other compliance obligations. Information is stored under secure conditions which meet industry standards of accreditation such as ISO/27001. Once the retention of information is no longer necessary and justifiable it shall be disposed of securely.
7. Data Controller, Data Protection Officer and Further Information
