About topic

In this theoretical sub-module, small and medium-sized entrepreneurs (users) will be able to learn and understand:

  • the legal basis for processing personal data through video surveillance systems
  • under what conditions it is permissible to record employees in the workplace
  • what must be included in the notice regarding video surveillance
  • who has the right to access video recordings
  • how long video recordings can be retained
  • the processing of personal data and monitoring of drivers of company vehicles
  • the processing of biometric personal data in the private sector


The goal of this sub-module is to familiarize entrepreneurs with the legal foundations for processing personal data through video surveillance systems, to point out situations when such processing is not lawful, and to teach them how to regulate the processing of personal data through video surveillance systems (which should include a notice about video surveillance intended for individuals affected by the video surveillance system, define who has access to the recordings, record who accesses the recordings, ensure that only authorized individuals have access to the recordings, do not retain the recordings for more than 6 months, etc.).
