5 Steps to ensure your CCTV signs are compliant:

Here are the points you need to check to see if your signs are compliant with the GDPR:

1. CCTV signage legal requirements UK – Signage should be clearly visible and readable. It will also need to show details of the organisation operating the system and controlling the data, the purpose of its use and who to contact if there are any queries. Ideally with a method of contact such as a phone number or email.
2. Signs should be an appropriate size in relation to its context. If the sign needs to be seen by a car driver it should be bigger, and if it is in a shop then a small sign would be more suitable. We advise minimum A3 externally and A4 internally.
3. All employees should know what to do and who to contact if a member of the public enquires about the CCTV system. Any signs in a public area must show the organisation or authority responsible for controlling the data collecting during the use of CCTV systems.
4. Take care when it comes to positioning your CCTV cameras. Although your cameras may be positioned on-site, they may still capture images of people walking by. If this is the case your CCTV signage should be visible outside the business too..
