Document background
The CCTV Privacy Notice is a crucial compliance document required under Swiss data protection law for any organization operating video surveillance systems. This document must be implemented whenever an organization installs and operates CCTV cameras in Switzerland, whether in private premises, public spaces, or workplace environments. The notice serves to fulfill the transparency requirements of the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA) and related regulations by informing data subjects about the processing of their personal data through video surveillance. It includes essential information about the purpose of surveillance, data retention periods, security measures, and individuals' rights regarding their recorded data. The CCTV Privacy Notice should be prominently displayed in areas where surveillance takes place and should be readily available to all affected individuals.
