Check-up: is your CCTV system compliant?

Eight questions to see what your CCTV system is missing, under UK, Italian and Spanish rules. Free, and it takes three minutes.

Answer with one specific system in mind. Nothing is sent until you ask for it.

Which country is the system in?
Do employees work in the recorded area?
Is there a sign before the recorded area saying who operates the system and why?
Has a retention period been decided and written down?
Does the recorder delete automatically at the end of the period, and have you checked it?
Have staff been told that cameras are in use and why?Was there a union agreement or labour inspectorate authorisation before installation?Were workers and, where they exist, their representatives informed beforehand?
Do the cameras cover only the area needed, without streets or other people’s property beyond what is necessary?
Is it settled who can view and export footage?
Is there a procedure for handing footage to people entitled to it or to the authorities?
Has the client received documents recording these decisions (purpose, periods, access)?
