CJEU Considers the Use of CCTV and Legitimate Interests

With the use of CCTV on the rise, it has become increasingly important for controllers to find a framework in which the conflicting rights of those who are subject to such surveillance are balanced.

In its recent decision of TK v Asociaţia de Proprietari bloc M5A-ScaraAmonit, the CJEU considered whether the processing carried out by CCTV cameras was necessary and proportionate for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the controller. The CJEU re-emphasised that the legitimate interests condition requires processing to apply only so far as “strictly necessary”.
