It is a legal requirement that CCTV must be operated in accordance with Data Protection and Human Rights legislation.

Data Protection

• Only use CCTV for reasonable, justifiable purposes.
• Let people know what those purposes are.
• Make sure that your CCTV system is continually fit for purpose.
• Let people know that you are recording their images and make those images available to them if requested and it is reasonable to do so.
• Keep the images secure and controlled, the only copies that you would normally download should be for police and Archive purposes.
• Don't keep recordings for longer than necessary.
