The Importance of GDPR Compliance in Public Camera Systems

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is essential for ensuring the responsible and lawful use of public camera systems across the UK. These regulations protect individuals' privacy by setting strict rules on how visual data is collected, stored, and shared.

The UK Home Office requires all public-facing camera systems to comply with GDPR standards, ensuring transparency, data minimisation, and proper access control. For organisations operating CCTV or remote monitoring systems in public spaces, GDPR compliance isn't optional—it’s a legal obligation that helps build public trust and accountability.
