New Episode: The IDPC Podcast – CCTV cameras

12 January 2026

In this episode, we dive into one of the most popular subjects we receive queries about: CCTV cameras. With CCTVs increasingly used in homes and workplaces, many people remain unsure about what they can and cannot do, and how the GDPR applies.

Our guests for this episode are Sasha Muscat and Marco Fagnano, both Legal Counsels at the IDPC. Together, we explore:

• When the GDPR applies to the use of CCTV cameras
• What the household exemption really means
• Key obligations for data controllers when CCTV is used
• Important considerations in operating CCTV systems
• Use of CCTV in apartment blocks and shared spaces
• How long CCTV footage may be retained and what to consider when setting retention periods
