Video surveillance: ins and outs of data protection
Cameras can do much more than just capture video. They have proven useful in monitoring traffic or providing data to make our cities smarter and safer. But privacy is just as important. It isn’t always clear which legislation applies to which use of cameras: different regulations are in force for different situations. Furthermore, there are other bodies that regulate the use of cameras.
We need to know: which criteria determine which regulations apply? Is there a difference between public and private sectors? Does the reason for collecting the data matter? And how do you raise awareness on the need to balance the technical possibilities with the protection of personal data?
