2024-02, dated August 9, 2024, to provide updated guidance on the use of closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems operating in public and semi-public areas. Section 1 clarifies that the rules do not apply to CCTV systems used purely for personal, family, or household affairs—unless the cameras capture images beyond the private residence or non-commercial establishment. Third, CCTV systems should be designed and operated to capture only what is necessary. The NPC even encourages the use of motion-activated systems that record only when movement is detected, thereby limiting unnecessary data collection. For businesses and institutions, compliance is not just a legal obligation; it is an ethical imperative to protect personal data in an increasingly surveilled world.
