Data Protection Commissioner clarifies CCTV use in kindergartens

The office of the Data Protection Commissioner received inquiries and complaints about the legality of installing CCTV systems in private kindergartens. Kindergarten administrations are allowed to operate CCTV systems at entrances, exits, and adjacent private parking areas, but not in indoor spaces, classrooms, common areas, toilets, or playgrounds. Recording sound at kindergartens is also not allowed under any circumstances.
