Seety Privacy Policy

  1. General

    1. Welcome to seety.co.uk.
    2. This is our Privacy Policy, which is part of the terms of use (T&Cs) on which you may make use of our website (our site). Our Privacy Policy will be governed in accordance with the laws of England.
    3. Our Privacy Policy is subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check this page regularly in case we have had to make any changes.
    4. If you have any questions on the content of our Privacy Policy, please contact us on privacy@seety.co.uk or at the following address: Data Protection Officer, Seety Limited, 20-22 Bedford Row, London WC1R 4JS.

  2. Photographs

    1. Your privacy is our primary concern and we do not want the services we provide and the technology we use to interfere with your private life.
    2. We took hundreds of thousands of photographs of the streets of London (the Photos). For obvious reasons, we took the Photos during daylight and unsurprisingly a large number of the Photos therefore feature one or several individuals (the Passers-by).
    3. The method we use for taking the Photos (for more details see the About section http://www.seety.co.uk/about.html) does not make it possible for us to ask the permission of Passers-by before we use their image on our site. However, we recognise that some of the Photos may fortuitously show some of the Passers-by in a place or situation that they would not want to show to others. Accordingly, in order to protect their privacy we:
      1. Keep the resolution of the Photos high enough to allow our customers to use our services but low enough to make it difficult to identify any Passer-by; and
      2. Use pixilation and blurring tools to anonymise the Photos where we think that Passers-by and/or vehicles could otherwise be identified.
    4. Despite our reasonable endeavours to anonymise all the Photos we acknowledge that on certain Photos it might still be possible to identify a Passer-by, perhaps by reference to a detail or series of details that we cannot easily anonymise.
    5. If you still think that you can recognize yourself or someone else, please let us know at privacy@seety.co.uk and we will do our best to publish a new version of the image that will hide the subject, or we may completely remove the image from our site within 48 hours.
    6. We acknowledge that some of the Images may contain trade marks belonging to third parties (for instance where such trade mark is featured on the exterior of a building). The inclusion of any such trade marks in our Images is purely incidental. Nevertheless, if a trade mark owner has reasonable grounds to object to its trade mark appearing in an Image, it may let us know at privacy@seety.co.uk and we will do our best to obscure such trade mark within 48 hours.
