You raise an interesting point. Who's data is it?
If you walk into a grocery store, and cameras record which aisle you walk down, which items you stop to look at and which things you buy. Is that legal?
What if the cameras block out your face and all identifying features. Is that legal?
Do you own a blob of a person walking down an aisle? Does the grocery store?
- mnw21cam 5y agoIf you walk into a shop and the cameras record what you do, then there has to be a mechanism in place to ensure that the data is only able to be used for the purpose it was collected for (that is, crime prevention and law enforcement), and that it is destroyed after a defined time-frame. That satisfies the GDPR, as you're collecting the data for a legitimate purpose (for which you don't need to seek consent) and preventing its use for any other purpose (which would need separate informed consent). The destruction time-limit also helps prevent its use for other purposes by reducing the opportunity for unauthorised access. You'd probably (IANAL) still have to have a "Smile, you're on camera" notice up though.

- arvindrajnaidu 5y agoSay they don’t do it secretly. They put up signs that they are doing it. Do they have to get explicit consent from each customer and save that info for audits?
- robin_reala 5y agoNo, they claim it under legitimate interest for fraud prevention and have a data deletion schedule.
