USE OF THE UK DATA PROTECTION ACT 1998
The IRIS range of CCTV products help to provide users with peace of mind by improving security on their premises.
In recent times, we have had a number of queries about the impact of the UK Data Protection Act 1998 on the use of
Home CCTV. The information below seeks to help customers who have concerns over their legal obligations in respect
of this Act.
CODE OF PRACTICE
A code of practice, issued by the UK Data Protection Commissioner in July 2000, sought to clarify the individual
sections of the Act, making it easier for CCTV operators to understand their obligations. It is stated in the introduction to
this code that:
"It is not intended that the contents of this Code should apply to:- ...
Security equipment (including cameras) installed in homes by individuals for home security purposes."
AN ENDNOTE WITHIN THE CODE OF PRACTICE STATES:
"It is likely that the use of cameras by individuals to protect their own property is excluded from the provisions of the Act
under the exemption at Section 36 of the Act."
THE UK DATA PROTECTION ACT 1998
The UK Data Protection Act 1998, Chapter 29, Part IV features a list of exemptions from the Act.
"Personal Data processed by an individual only for the purposes of that individual's personal, family or
household affairs (including recreational purposes) are exempt from the data protection principles and the
provisions of Parts II and III."
SUMMARY / MORE INFORMATION
Therefore, it is our understanding that, when IRIS CCTV cameras are used for domestic purposes, including that of
protecting property, the principles of the Data Protection Act 1998 do not apply.
