The Spanish DPA fined 300 for installing security cameras that focused beyond the private property of the complainant's, violating Article 5 (1)(c) GDPR.
English Summary
Facts
The complainant states that he is a neighbor of the respondent who has installed a video surveillance camera in his home. Due to the surveillance camera's location and orientation, the system is capable of capturing images of the complainant's home, without being authorized to do so.
The respondent affirmed that the cameras were installed in his own property and they do not focus, record or reproduce any personal or material element that is not inside his property. The cameras were installed solely for the security of the persons, property, installations and domestic animals on the property.
In addition, the respondent claimed that none of the cameras were placed towards the private property of any neighbor or that could focus on such property or persons.
Holding
The Spanish DPA highlighted that in no case shall the use of surveillance practices be permitted beyond the area covered by the installation and, in particular, may not affect the surrounding public spaces, adjacent buildings and vehicles other than those accessing the monitored area.
The cameras installed may not obtain images of third parties' private space and/or public space without duly accredited with a justified cause, nor may they affect the privacy of passers-by freely through the area.
It is therefore not permitted to place cameras on the private property of neighbors for the purpose of intimidating them or affecting their private sphere without just cause.
Nor may images be captured or recorded in spaces owned by third parties without the consent of the owners or, where appropriate, of the persons who are there.
The Spanish DPA concluded, from the images provided, that it can be seen that there are two cameras which are focused beyond the private property of the complainant's private property.
For violating Article 5 (1)(c) GDPR, AEPD fined 300 eur and determined the removal of the cameras in question or the regularization of the cameras, in accordance with current legislation, so that they do not record or capture images of the complainant's home or of the public or private road next to it.

SECOND: In the images provided by the claimed party it can be seen that There are two cameras in which you can see that it is focused beyond the private property of the claimed part. FOUNDATIONS OF LAW Yo Competence In accordance with the powers that article 58.2 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation, hereinafter RGPD), grants each control authority and as established in articles 47, 48.1, 64.2 and 68.1 of the Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights (hereinafter, LOPDGDD), is competent to initiate and resolve this procedure the Director of the Spanish Protection Agency of data. Likewise, article 63.2 of the LOPDGDD determines that: "The procedures processed by the Spanish Data Protection Agency will be governed by the provisions in Regulation (EU) 2016/679, in this organic law, by the provisions regulations dictated in its development and, insofar as they do not contradict them, with a subsidiary, by the general rules on administrative procedures." II Response Allegations Having examined the allegations of the claimed party, these allegations are not accepted, based on the following arguments: C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es 28001 – Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 4/12 The report of the City Council ***LOCALIDAD.1 that it provides has no validity; only It is a writing with the letterhead and seal of the City Council, but without any signature. And in that writing it is stated: “It states that it has to pose perimeter cameras to the exterior of the seva isolated single-family house. That the street gives the edge of the house, “It is not a public road, it is part of the urbanization and is privately owned.” In this sense, Royal Decree 128/2018, of March 16, which regulates the legal regime of Local Administration officials with authorization of national character establishes the following: Article 2. Necessary public functions in all Local Corporations. 1. They are necessary public functions in all Local Corporations, whose Administrative responsibility is reserved for Local Administration officials with national authorization, the following: a) Secretariat, including public faith and mandatory legal advice. In art. 3 establishes what public faith includes. And although it is not planned specifically the provision of issuing this type of reports, it is true that any issue on which you want to determine its reliability, such as the ownership of one way, would correspond to the secretary of the City Council. From the documentation on hand In urban planning this information can be obtained and certified. It is also indicated in the aforementioned municipal report: “That the municipal guard, Agent 01, close this report on July 3, 2023.” The functions of the guard or municipal agent are those established in the GENERAL ORDINANCE OF CIRCULACIÓ, of the Alcoletge City Council, which points out: “TITLE FIRST. POWERS OF THE CRAZY POLICE / MUNICIPAL AGENTS Article 3. Police Agents and Municipal Vigilants. The agents of the Local Police are competent in the regulation of urban traffic. formulation of the complaints that arise from the infractions that are committed against therein provided by this ordinance and the rest of the applicable provisions. In cases where it is not available to agents of the Local Police, in other words, it is available to municipal vigilantes, this will determine the competencies that determine the protection of l’art.1 and 13 of Llei 16/1991 of July 10, local policies (endavant LPL) and other concordant provisions.

Finally, the claimed party alleges that it attaches a procedural expert report, where It is certified how and what situation the cameras have, as well as whether they are fixed or mobile and the scope of them. C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es 28001 – Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 5/12 However, there is no report in the documentation received by this Agency. of procedural expert. However, in relation to the range of the cameras, in the photographs sent For the claimed party, it can be seen that there are two that focus beyond their property private, as indicated in the Second Proven Fact of this resolution. III The image is personal data The physical image of a person, in accordance with article 4.1 of the GDPR, is data personnel and their protection, therefore, is the subject of said Regulation. In article 4.2 The GDPR defines the concept of “processing” of personal data. Images generated by a camera or video camera system are data from personal nature, so its treatment is subject to protection regulations of data. It is, therefore, pertinent to analyze whether the processing of personal data (image of the natural persons) carried out through the reported video surveillance system is in accordance with the provisions of the RGPD. IV Infringement Article 6.1 of the RGPD establishes the assumptions that allow the processing of personal data. Regarding processing for video surveillance purposes, article 22 of the LOPDGDD establishes that natural or legal persons, public or private, may carry out carry out image processing through camera or video camera systems with the purpose of preserving the safety of people and property, as well as their facilities. The processing of personal data is subject to the rest of the principles of the treatment contained in article 5 of the RGPD. We will highlight the principle of data minimization contained in article 5.1.c) of the RGPD, which provides that personal data will be “adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to with the purposes for which they are processed.” This means that in a specific processing only the data can be processed appropriate personnel, that are relevant and that are strictly necessary to fulfill the purpose for which they are processed. Treatment must be adjusted and proportional to the purpose at which it is directed. The relevance in the treatment of data must occur both at the time of data collection and at the subsequent treatment carried out on them. In accordance with the above, the processing of excessive data must be restricted or proceed to their deletion. C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es 28001 – Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 6/12 The application of the principle of data minimization in video surveillance means that images of public roads cannot be captured, since the processing of images in public places, unless authorization is obtained governmental, can only be carried out by the Security Forces and Bodies. On some occasions, for the protection of private spaces, where there have been installed cameras on facades or inside, it may be necessary to ensure the security purpose the recording of a portion of the public road. That is, cameras and video cameras installed for security purposes cannot obtain images of public roads unless it is essential for this purpose, or It is impossible to avoid it due to their location. And, in that case extraordinary, the cameras will only be able to capture the minimum portion necessary to preserve the safety of people and property, as well as its facilities. In no case will the use of surveillance practices beyond the environment be permitted. object of the installation and, in particular, not being able to affect public spaces surrounding areas, adjacent buildings and vehicles other than those that access the space guarded The installed cameras cannot obtain images of third party private space and/or public space without duly accredited justified cause, nor can they affect the privacy of passersby who move freely through the area. Therefore, the placement of cameras towards the private property of neighbors with the purpose of intimidating them or affecting their private sphere without cause justified. Nor can images be captured or recorded in spaces owned by third parties. without the consent of its owners, or, where appropriate, of the people who are involved in them. find. Likewise, it is disproportionate to capture images in private spaces, such as such as changing rooms, lockers or worker rest areas. V Obligations regarding video surveillance In accordance with the above, the processing of images through a system video surveillance, to be in compliance with current regulations, must comply with the following requirements: 1.- Natural or legal persons, public or private, can establish a system video surveillance with the purpose of preserving the security of people and property, as well as its facilities. It must be assessed whether the intended purpose can be achieved in another way less intrusive to the rights and freedoms of citizens. Personal data only must be processed if the purpose of the processing could not reasonably be achieved by other means, considering 39 of the RGPD. C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es 28001 – Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 7/12 2.- The images obtained cannot be used for a further purpose incompatible with that which motivated the installation of the video surveillance system. 3.- The duty to inform those affected as provided in the articles must be complied with. 12 and 13 of the RGPD, and 22 of the LOPDGDD. In this sense, article 22 of the LOPDGDD provides in relation to video surveillance a “layered information” system. The first layer must refer, at least, to the existence of the treatment (video surveillance), the identity of the person responsible, the possibility of exercising rights provided for in articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR and where to obtain more information about the processing of personal data. This information will be contained in a device placed in a sufficiently visible and must be supplied in advance. The second layer information must be available in one place easily accessible to the affected person, whether it is an information sheet at a reception, cashier, etc..., placed in a visible public space or on a web address, and must refer to the rest of the elements of article 13 of the RGPD. 4.- The processing of images through the installation of camera systems or video cameras must be lawful and comply with the principle of proportionality and the principle of data minimization, in the terms already indicated. 5.- Images may be kept for a maximum period of one month, except in those cases in which they must be kept to prove the commission of acts that threaten the integrity of people, property or facilities. In this second case, they must be made available to the authority competent within a maximum period of 72 hours from becoming aware of the existence of the recording. 6.- The person responsible must keep a record of treatment activities carried out under your responsibility that includes the information to which you make reference article 30.1 of the GDPR. 7.- The person responsible must carry out a risk analysis or, where appropriate, an evaluation of impact on data protection, to detect those derived from the implementation of the video surveillance system, evaluate them and, where appropriate, adopt measures to appropriate security. 8.- When a security breach occurs that affects the processing of cameras for security purposes, whenever there is a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, you must notify the AEPD within a maximum period of 72 hours. C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es 28001 – Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 8/12 A security breach is understood to be the accidental destruction, loss or alteration or unlawful use of personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed, or the unauthorized communication or access to said data. 9.- When the system is connected to an alarm center, it can only be installed by a private security company that meets the requirements contemplated in article 5 of Law 5/2014 on Private Security, of April 4. The Spanish Data Protection Agency offers through its website [https://www.aepd.es] access to: legislation regarding the protection of personal data, including the RGPD and the LOPDGDD (section “Reports and resolutions” / “regulations”), the Guide on the use of video cameras for security and other purposes, the Guide for compliance with the duty to inform (both available in the section “Guides and tools”). It is also of interest, in the case of low-risk data processing, the free tool Facilita (in the “Guides and tools” section), which, through Some specific questions allow us to assess the situation of the person responsible with respect to the processing of personal data that it carries out, and, where appropriate, generate various documents, informative and contractual clauses, as well as an annex with measures indicative safety standards considered minimum.
