Installing surveillance cameras is a common measure for enhancing security and preventing unlawful acts. However, when and how can such installations be considered lawful and GDPR-compliant?
In a recent radio interview on AMNA Radio 106.9 FM, Stergios Konstantinou joined Sotiris Kyriakidis to discuss the legal obligations and practical considerations for those installing CCTV systems in:
-
🏠 Private properties – apartments, homes, vacation houses
-
🏨 Hotels and tourist accommodations
-
🏦 Commercial spaces – cafés, restaurants, retail stores, shopping centers
Key discussion points included:
-
Who qualifies as a data controller under GDPR?
-
What are the minimum compliance requirements (e.g., signage, policies, documentation)?
-
Where do we draw the line between security interests and the right to privacy?
👉 Installing CCTV is not just a technical decision – it’s also a legal one.
📌 We would like to thank the station for the warm welcome and the insightful conversation.
