On the one hand, advantages of CCTVs (Closed Circuit Television Systems) include public safety, crime prevention, reduced levels of fear of crime, and trust for justice. On the other hand, disadvantages of CCTVs involve human rights violations, privacy invasion, and intrusion into the private lives of citizens. From the governments’ and private companies’ perspective, surveillance serves well their pursuit of justice and security. Nevertheless, they cannot capture, process, and store sensitive data while crushing individual rights. Security and civil liberties are not mutually exclusive as long as we strike a fine balance between these values.
This report is composed of two parts. The first part summarizes the data protection rules for visual data in a list of selected countries. The second part centers on individual rights, mainly focusing on the right to private life, the right to control information about oneself, the right to anonymity, the right to secrecy, the right to not being tracked, and the right to be forgotten. By highlighting these rights, this report stresses the importance of following a rights-based approach in processing personal data in order to prevent unnecessary, unlawful, and unethical invasions of privacy and other individual rights.
