How the webcams are installed

The webcams in the SkylineWebcams network film landscapes, tourist resorts, beaches, squares and places of interest, for the purposes of tourism promotion and information. They are installed at a distance that does not allow people to be recognised. Some webcams are motorised and follow preset framing routes, created and checked by our staff with the cooperation of the webcam host, according to the same criteria. No webcam can be pointed or zoomed by viewers.

Every webcam is installed in compliance with the data protection rules of the country in which it is located. For webcams in Italy, the reference framework is Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), together with the Guidelines 3/2019 of the European Data Protection Board on processing of personal data through video devices and the decision of the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (Italian Data Protection Authority) of 8 April 2010 on video surveillance, point 4.5, concerning webcams for tourism purposes.

What is kept

Images are broadcast live and are not recorded.

For webcams with a wide angle of view, a time-lapse is generated: one frame every 4 minutes, covering a total of 18 hours, at a lower quality than the live stream. The time-lapse is overwritten every day and previous frames are not kept.

Premium subscribers can take a photo from the live stream and publish it in the webcam’s gallery. Photos are checked by our staff, who remove any in which a person is recognisable.

Third-party webcams

The webcams in the “From the Web” section are streams published by third parties on YouTube: they are neither installed nor operated by VisioRay, and their respective owners are responsible for them.

Requests and reports

Anyone who believes they are recognisable in footage or in a photo, or that a webcam has been moved from its original position, for example due to bad weather or tampering, can ask us to take action via the Contact page, selecting the subject “Report abuse / privacy” and indicating the webcam and, if possible, the date and time. We will examine the request and, if necessary, remove the photo or change the framing.

The controller for the publication of images on SkylineWebcams is VisioRay S.r.l., via dei Tulipani 9, 88069 Stalettì (CZ), Italy. Information on the rights of data subjects is in the Privacy Policy.
