A city installs CCTV in a busy public square with no signage or other transparency measures. Which compliance theme is most directly engaged?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Cameras without signs are like a speed trap with the radar hidden and no warning—people cannot manage their expectations. Public CCTV still needs necessity, proportionality, and clear transparency. Silence is not a compliance strategy.
Full Explanation
Video surveillance in public spaces remains personal-data processing when individuals are identifiable. GDPR fairness and transparency principles, reinforced by EDPB camera-surveillance guidance themes, expect clear information about monitoring. Controllers must also demonstrate necessity and proportionality, define retention, and implement security—ownership by a public body does not remove those duties.
