Retention of Information Collected
The information collected through the System is retained in accordance with the Records Retention Schedule stipulated in the Toronto Municipal Code (i.e. captured images are routinely over-written after a 45 day retention period, logs can be destroyed after three years). If a record is made available to law enforcement or in response to a Freedom of Information request, then such Record should be retained for three years. A Record will be created from the information collected only when requested under the “Use of Information Collected” section of this policy, provided the requested information has not already been over-written. No other Records are created or retained.

In general, Transportation Services does not record live stream proactively. Instead, snapshots are taken every three minutes for all RESCU cameras. The City does not retain the snapshots. Traffic camera locations can be found on the City of Toronto website.
