Information obligation for cameras
What does the term mean
Obligation to inform persons that they are being scanned, who is processing the data and why.
Information obligation is the reason why you have signs near the cameras and why there must be more detailed information (online / at the reception). "OBJECT IS GUARDED BY CAMERAS" is not enough.
What information typically must not be missing
- who is the administrator (company, contact),
- purpose and legal title,
- retention period or criteria,
- to whom the record can be forwarded (Czech Police, insurance company),
- data subject rights (access, erasure - if that makes sense).
