Spanish DPA (AEPD) holds that the installation of video surveillance systems that capture images of common areas of the neighborhood violates Article 5 of the GDPR (data minimization).
English Summary
Facts
A neighbor had placed cameras in his door directed to common areas, stairs and corridors, recording all of the rest of the neighbors who passed by
Dispute
Does the installation of surveillance systems that capture images of common areas of the neighborhood respect the principle of data minimization under the GDPR?
Holding
The DPA held that the installation of this type of system must be oriented preferably towards the access points to be protected and should not be oriented towards common or transit areas of the other neighbors, and it must also have the corresponding information sign, indicating that it is a video-surveillance area.
