      Processing of personal data through video devices

      Guidelines 03/2019 on processing of personal data through video devices

      Paragraph 6.2.2  Right to object

      105. For video surveillance based on legitimate interest (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or for the necessity when carrying out a task in the public interest (Article 6 (1) (e) GDPR) the data subject has the right – at any time – to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing in accordance with Article 21 GDPR. Unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds that overrides the rights and interests of the data subject, the processing of data of the individual who objected must then stop. The controller should be obliged to respond to requests from the data subject without undue delay and at the latest within one month.

      106. In the context of video surveillance this objection could be made either when entering, during the time in, or after leaving, the monitored area. In practice this means that unless the controller has compelling legitimate grounds, monitoring an area where natural persons could be identified is only lawful if either

      • (1) the controller is able to immediately stop the camera from processing personal data when requested, or

      • (2) the monitored area is in such detail restricted so that the controller can assure the approval from the data subject prior to entering the area and it is not an area that the data subject as a citizen is entitled to access.

      107. These guidelines do not aim to identify what is considered a compelling legitimate interest (Article 21 GDPR).

      108. When using video surveillance for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object to the processing on a discretionary basis as the right to object is absolute in that context (Article 21 (2) and (3) GDPR). 

      109 Example: A company is experiencing difficulties with security breaches in their public entrance and is using video surveillance on the grounds of legitimate interest, with the purpose to catch those unlawfully entering. A visitor objects to the processing of his or her data through the video surveillance system on grounds relating to his or her particular situation. The company however in this case rejects the request with the explanation that the footage stored is needed due to an ongoing internal investigation, thereby having compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing the personal data.
