vGRID - Privacy
This page is currently being updated following independent privacy review of the entire vGRID SaferCity Platform.
SaferCities connects CCTV and ANPR cameras to New Zealand Police through the vGRID SaferCity Platform. This service allows for efficient collaboration between Police, businesses, and communities for crime prevention and public safety.
The vGRID Gateway connects your CCTV & ANPR cameras and operator screens to the vGRID SaferCity Platform using NZ Police-approved software. Number Plate Information and images are received through ANPR metadata and CCTV streams offer live video without recording any footage.
vGRID has established security and privacy policies, procedures, and controls to protect the Security and Privacy posture of your organisation and the organisations that share and view visual information through the vGRID SaferCity Platform.
Useage of ANPR by NZ Police
NZ Police leverage vGRID to access ANPR data in line with the Privacy Act 2020 and their publically available ANPR Policy.
Additionally, NZ Police have conducted an independent Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) on their use of third-party ANPR with the vGRID SaferCity Platform which has been proactively released here.
