Eyes Down: CCTV + GDPR Essentials

One of the perennial challenges for the busy DPO is the use of CCTV. As soon as you put up cameras for whatever purpose, you’re processing personal data and often, a lot of information that you don’t want or need to see. Just ask former Secretary of State for Health Matt Hancock.

The questions multiply: when can we use CCTV and for what purpose? Can we use it in secret? (SPOILER ALERT: probably not) As supermarkets across the land start to install it, what are the implications of using facial recognition? And what happens if someone makes a subject access request for CCTV data? Does GDPR apply, or is it the DPA?

One positive thing I can say is that I can answer all of these questions and more. On Eyes Down: CCTV + GDPR Essentials, I will cover all the practical issues and challenges in a pragmatic and entertaining way. Cameras are probably here to stay, so how do you deal with the all-seeing electronic eye?
