Data Protection - New CCTV Code of Practice launched

Time to review your CCTV Practices

If your organisation uses CCTV or a similar device to record people then the attached article on the Information Commissioner’s new Code of Practice may be of interest.

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has issued a new Code of Practice for CCTV, setting out guidance for organisations using CCTV, on best practice for compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA).

The new Code aims to reflect recent developments in CCTV technology, and to put in place safeguards regarding its use. The Code is very different to the old one, which was published in 2000, so organisations using CCTV will have to review their policies and practices to ensure they remain compliant.

Here’s a brief overview of the new guide.
