Project NOLA Crime Camera Video, Facial Recognition, and LPR Data Retention & Privacy Policy

Crime Camera Geographic Locations and Footage:

With over 95% of Project NOLA Crime Cameras being hosted on homes, businesses, schools, churches and other private property, the geographic location of each crime camera is kept strickly confidential to protect the identity and privacy of camera hosts.  Project NOLA Crime Camera footage is retained on proprietary cloud servers at Project NOLA's National RTCC, located at the University of New Orleans, for a period of two weeks before video is automatically deleted and overwritten.  Video may only be accessed by Project NOLA staff, authorized members of local law enforcement, and any licensed security guard company that may be contracted to provide supplemental security for a specific neighborhood.  Project NOLA does not sell or share video footage to third parties.

Project NOLA greatly respects and prioritizes people's right to privacy. Raw footage and metadata from Project NOLA's nationwide network of crime cameras is securely stored on servers at Project NOLA's National Real-Time Crime Center located at the University of New Orleans, and is only used to assist Law Enforcement responding to Emergency Situations and Investigating Felony Crimes.  Project NOLA's Proprietary Data is automatically deleted and overwritten within two months, is never sold, and is not shared with third parties outside the public safety community.

Where legally permitted, Project NOLA operates Facial Recognition Crime Cameras installed on private and commercial property.  While authorized law enforcement personnel may remotely access camera video and receive automated alerts when a known wanted felon is potentially detected live on camera, only Project NOLA supervisors may access Facial Recognition data to conduct searches, which are strictly limited to assisting with felony investigations and missing persons cases.  A community based public safety initiative, Project NOLA does not use Facial Recognition to identify or locate individuals possibly facing deportation from the United States or involved in peaceful protests, unless an individual is also wanted for a Felony Crime.

Project NOLA unbiasedly treats all individuals equally without favoring with or discriminating against particular groups.  Safeguards in place to protect individuals right to privacy and freedom of expression include Project NOLA Crime Camera Hosts having the right to immediately terminate their participation with Project NOLA's community-based public safety initiative for any reason they may possibly deem necessary.
