Personal data security
Closed circuit TV (CCTV) and other surveillance systems are now commonplace in most businesses. It’s worth remembering however that using CCTV on corporate premises in the UK is subject to the Data Protection Act 1998 (‘the DPA 1998’). If the DPA 1998 is breached by improper use of a CCTV system then companies and individuals risk an investigation, or even prosecution by the data regulator The Information Commissioner’s Office (“The ICO”). Similar requirements exist in other countries.
