An individual objects to a shop’s CCTV that captures the entrance to their home, where the shop relies on legitimate interests. Which statement best reflects the objection analysis?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Cameras pointed near your front door are not automatically above objection just because the shop likes security. If legitimate interests are the basis, an objection still gets a real assessment—your privacy weighed against their claimed need. Security interest is an argument, not a free pass.
Full Explanation
Article 21 objections apply to processing based on legitimate interests, which often underpins private CCTV. Controllers must evaluate whether compelling legitimate grounds override the data subject’s interests, rights and freedoms. Home-entrance capture raises significant privacy stakes that form part of that balancing, rather than an automatic dismissal of the objection.
