The procedures and principles set out herein must be followed at all times by The Zone, its employees, agents, contractors, or other parties working on behalf of The Zone.

  • The processing is necessary for our business and this data is not stored, however if one does not wish to provide this data the subject cannot be allowed to participate in our activities

  • The processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person

  • The processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the data controller; or

  • The processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the data controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

 

  • Temperature is tested with TEMPstation K3 Wall Mount Digital Infrared Forehead Thermometer hits the sweet spot in terms of features when compared against IR thermometer guns systems but does not record nor store information.
