Eyes on Safety: How Our 24-Hour Camera Surveillance Protects Guests & Property

Feeling secure shouldn’t be something you worry about on holiday. That’s why our 24-hour camera surveillance operates day and night on and around the premises—to help protect you and your belongings while respecting your privacy. In this post, you’ll learn where we monitor (and where we don’t), how long we store footage, the strict conditions for sharing it, and the rights you have over your personal data.

What 24-hour camera surveillance means at De Zeeuwse Stromen

Our security cameras run continuously—24/7—on and around our grounds. Their purpose is simple: to help safeguard our guests and our property. Clear signage at our entrance and elsewhere lets you know surveillance is in operation, so you’re never in doubt.

Beyond security, we treat all footage as privacy-sensitive information. We handle it carefully, in line with our privacy practices, and we apply the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) across our services.

Quick facts at a glance

• Cameras operate day and night on and around the premises.
• Camera images are considered privacy-sensitive and handled with care.
• Footage is kept for a maximum of 7 days.
• Images are only viewed—and possibly provided to third parties such as police—if there is an urgent reason (e.g., burglary, theft or other crimes).
• There are no cameras in hotel rooms, public toilets or in the wellness facilities.

Where we monitor—and where we don’t

We use cameras in public areas on and around our grounds to enhance safety. This includes the on-site car park, which is closed every evening with barriers and monitored by camera surveillance.

Equally important is where we do not monitor. For your personal privacy:

• There are no cameras in guest rooms.
• There are no cameras in public toilets.
• There are no cameras in our wellness facilities.

This balance helps ensure visible protection in shared spaces while preserving complete privacy where it matters most.

How we handle and protect footage

Security images are sensitive. We follow strict rules to protect your privacy:

• Storage limit: We retain camera images for a maximum of 7 days.
• Access control: Footage is only viewed if there is an urgent reason, such as a suspected crime.
• Third-party sharing: Images may be provided to third parties (for example, the police) only when there’s an urgent reason like burglary, theft or other crimes.
• Privacy-first approach: We recognize the sensitivity of camera data and treat it accordingly throughout its short retention period.

Why visible security matters

Visible, well-signposted camera surveillance serves multiple purposes that contribute to a safer, more relaxed environment:

• Deterrence: The presence of cameras and signage can discourage potential wrongdoing.
• Faster incident response: If an urgent situation occurs, footage can help clarify events and support appropriate action.
• Peace of mind: Knowing public areas are monitored helps guests feel protected as they move about the grounds.

These benefits are especially reassuring in shared spaces like the car park and outdoor areas.

• Inspection (access): Request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and receive a copy.
• Correction or supplementation: Ask us to correct inaccuracies or complete incomplete data.

• Transfer of digital data: Receive a copy of personal data you provided in a common digital format, or ask us to forward it to another provider where applicable.
