Do I have to comply with privacy laws if I take my own camera footage?

Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens March 16, 2022

Question & Answer

Are you a private individual and make your own camera recordings for domestic use? Then, in principle, the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG) does not apply.

Public space

The AVG does apply if you film parts of the public space for security purposes. For example, if you have a camera in your garden to secure your home and this camera also films the public road adjacent to the garden. You may only film that part of the public road that is necessary to secure your home.

Publish camera images

The AVG also applies if you make the images available to an unlimited number of people. For example, if you post the camera images on the Internet. You need permission from the people in the images to post the images online.
