Visitor Counting at Medisiina Building Wings C and D
Research Notification
Building Visitor Counting
Dining Flow project is researching the effects of building visitor numbers on food waste together with the Flavoria® research platform. For this purpose, the number of visitors to the building is recorded at various locations, such as main front doors and via elevator data.
Anonymous, non-identifying statistics are collected if you use the main entrances or elevators next to the information desks of the C and D wings of the Medisiina building. Subjects are not identified after leaving the counting area. Elevator usage statistics are collected anonymously without the use of cameras.
No direct or indirect harm to the subjects has been identified to occur from the study. The statistics do not store personal data.
Refusal to participate in the study is not possible as persons are not identified and cannot therefore be removed. However, you can minimize the processing by using the building’s side entrances and stairs where counting is not occuring.
Data Protection Notice
Statistical collection of the number of visitors to the building with a counting system
Summary
Counting devices based on cameras have been installed near the front entrances of Medisina D and C next to the building infos. The devices record unidentified (anonymous) number of visitors to the building (how many visitors enter, how many leave).
The calculation takes place internally in the device (with artificial intelligence) without saving or sending a picture or video from the device. Information leaving the device for research contains only the sums of the inflows and outflows at each point in time.
The counting cameras are appropriately protected and access is restricted.
