Users have a choice to use the website. Do you complain that a bar is violating your basic human rights if it has a camera in it? Should all bars with that be shut down? Same for shopping centers and everywhere else. If you don't like it then simply don't use the website. It's really not that difficult.
- gpderetta 6y agothe GDPR does apply to a camera in a bar. As long as it is used exclusively for security and data purged regularly, it can be claimed to be required. Certainly the bar owner cannot distribute the videos without explicit consent. And yes, that can be problematic in many cases (for examples, capturing faces of people in a concert).

- PeterisP 6y agoGDPR definitely applies to cameras in bars or shopping centers - in fact, much more of GDPR enforcement has been about issues such as those, the web world is not that important. If a shopping center would want to distribute surveillance camera data to 'trusted partners' for marketing research without informed consent of the customers, that would definitely be a GDPR violation, and there would not be a "if you don't like it then don't go to that supermarket" situation but "if your supermarket can't survive without that income, then tough luck".
- gpderetta 6y agothere is this misunderstanding that GDPR is only (or primarily) about cookies or even online presence.
- wlll 6y ago> Users have a choice to use the website. Correct, and thankfully website operators don't get the choice to violate users privacy without consent.
