Legal obligations when using domestic CCTV
When using CCTV at home you must be aware of your legal obligations.
If you fail to comply with your obligations under data protection laws, you may face enforcement action from:
- the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), including being fined
- affected individuals, who could pursue court claims for compensation
Avoid CCTV related fines and compensation
To avoid CCTV related fines and claims against you for compensation, follow our guidance on using CCTV at home and take all reasonable steps to comply with your data protection obligations. As a result, the ICO is unlikely to regard you as a 'regulatory risk' and consider that taking enforcement action against you is not a proportionate use of resources.
