Privacy and Cameras

The new European privacy legislation will enter into force on May 25th. In the wake of the great media echo of the "casual" use of personal data of its users (and not only ...) by the big social networks, now everyone is familiar with this Anglo-Saxon term, and everyone (so it seems ...) pay more attention to the issue of processing personal data. But does the problem also concern security installations? Certainly yes, at least for those that are integrated by surveillance cameras. In fact, images of people are also "personal data". But what use do we make of this data? Is it a lawful or illicit use? Which areas can we monitor and resume and which are not? how long can we store the recordings? Does it make a difference if the recordings are kept on one of our servers or at the Telesurveillance company? Do we have to take some precautions to protect ourselves from sanctions that could also be considerable?

A whole series of questions, not useless, which impose, even in this case, a professional approach to the question. You can not afford to manage compliance with these rules through what is perceived for a simple "word of mouth" or a quick reading of some online article (written by whom, then?). Also in this case, remote surveillance is the ideal partner not only for security, but also for the peace of mind of having the consultant available to suggest the steps to be fulfilled and the correct behavior to be taken.

You do not think to choose from any shelf of the outlet on duty a telecamerina from a few tens of euros and then, the first alarmist service seen on TV, get by going to ask the unfortunate cashier "what should I do for privacy"? Perhaps you will have to explain to the cashier that May 25, 2018 comes into force a European legislation that provides high fines.
