As organizations increasingly rely on technology to enhance security, the need to balance safety with the privacy rights of individuals has never been more critical. Lumana’s AI video security solution empowers companies to adhere to their data privacy obligations by offering unprecedented control over the data collected through the system. Privacy is about choice and control, and Lumana ensures that organizations can safeguard their assets while upholding the highest privacy standards and regulatory compliance.

The Evolving Landscape of Data Privacy in Security Operations

Data privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other global privacy laws set stringent standards for how organizations collect, store, and manage personal data. These regulations are not just about preventing data breaches — they are about respecting individuals' rights over data and ensuring that data is collected and used transparently and responsibly. As AI becomes more of a critical tool in security management, compliance with these regulations becomes equally essential. Lumana is designed with privacy at its core, providing organizations with the tools to comply with data protection laws without compromising security effectiveness.

Customizable Data Collection and Retention Policies

A significant challenge in video surveillance is determining what data to collect, how long to keep it, and who can access it. Lumana’s solutions empower organizations to customize data collection and retention policies that align with privacy regulations and internal guidelines. Whether you need to anonymize footage, delete recordings after a specific time, or restrict access to sensitive data, Lumana allows users to define granular controls that put privacy at the forefront.

For example, here’s how organizations can customize Lumana when handling access to sensitive data, such as identified faces or gender.

Certain states and jurisdictions restrict the collection of face or gender data. When a location is created in Lumana, system administrators can adjust compliance settings by selecting “independent” or pre-determined settings via specific states or jurisdictions. When administrators select “independent,” users can disable or enable face and gender recognition. Once this location is built, all devices will follow the settings selected during this process.

To further protect customer data, system administrators have granular control over who can access people's data and limit what they can do, specifically with search and alert functionality.

Robust Data Security and Encryption Protocols

Data privacy and data security go hand in hand. Even the most privacy-conscious data collection practices are ineffective if the data itself is not secure. Lumana’s AI video surveillance system employs state-of-the-art encryption protocols to safeguard data at rest and in transit, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected against unauthorized access and cyber threats. From end-to-end encryption to routine audits and compliance with rigorous security standards, such as SOC2 — Lumana delivers an AI video security experience that is safe and secure.

Below are just some of the cybersecurity measures Lumana implements to protect customer data and privacy.

• Storage: Video recordings remain on-premises by default and encrypted with AES 256.
• Network: No open ports and all data transfer is secured via HTTPS encryption with TLS v1.2.
• Cloud: Data is always accessible and secured, in transit and at rest, with AES 256.
