Is CCTV used at the event?

Yes. Additionally, by attending, you consent to being filmed or photographed for security or promotional use.

There will also be Live Facial Recognition Technology in operation by WA Police. 

Note that this is on select days, not all days. LFR technology compares a live CCTV feed against a controlled alert-list to generate real-time notifications to police officers.

LFR is used in line with the WA Police Force Privacy Statement and Privacy Impact Statement, and key protections include:

• where no alert is generated, the system automatically pixelates faces on the operator screen
• biometric data that does not generate an alert is not stored by police; it is deleted immediately and automatically
• biometric data is deleted following each deployment
• details of any alerts are retained, where required for an investigation of an offence or complaint
• no data is shared with third parties
