CCTV and privacy – what you need to do
The majority of offices use CCTV as part of their security measures to protect the perimeter of buildings and/or to monitor restricted areas. There is nothing wrong in doing this providing a legal basis for processing the personal data (images) is established, you tell people what it is used for and meet any requirements laid down by local legislation; in the UK the Surveillance Camera Commissioner has the camera code of practice.
For details on the likely lawful basis for processing, documentation needed to support this and what should be on signs telling people about CCTV see https://wadiff-consulting.co.uk/2019/07/26/cctv-and-privacy-what-you-need-to-do/

5 年Ian, thanks for this. I doubt the average business considers images as personal data and are leaving themselves exposed. I also imagine getting their house in order is not that tricky with your help?
