Data Protection

Following the changes to the Data Protection laws, the original Data Protection Act 1998 has now been replaced by the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

The act states that anyone who records and uses personal information must be open about how they use the information gathered. Under the act, the Information Commissioner’s Office must be notified if organisations process personal information (personal data), failure to notify is a criminal offence.

You may not be aware of the legislation detailing the requirements of registering your CCTV System under the Data Protection Act 2018. For the latest guidance on data protection laws and legislation visit – www.ico.gov.uk.
