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).
