Why do businesses in the UK need to display CCTV signs?

Under the Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR, businesses using CCTV must notify people that they are being recorded. This is typically done with clear signage. The purpose of these signs is to ensure transparency and inform individuals about their rights regarding personal data.

Failing to display appropriate CCTV signage can result in non-compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. This could lead to penalties or fines from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). It may also damage the business's reputation.

What information should be included on a CCTV sign for a business?

A compliant CCTV sign for a UK business should include:

  • A statement indicating that CCTV is in operation.
  • The purpose of the surveillance (e.g., for security).
  • The name of the organisation responsible for the CCTV system.
  • Contact details for further information if applicable.

Can businesses use CCTV without informing people?

In most cases, no. Covert CCTV use is only permissible under strict conditions, such as preventing serious crime, and must comply with the law. For general business purposes, notifying individuals through signage is a legal requirement.

Does a homeowner need to display CCTV signs if they have external CCTV cameras?

Yes, if your CCTV cameras cover areas beyond your private property, such as public spaces or neighbouring properties, you are required to comply with the UK Data Protection Act 2018. This includes displaying clear signage to inform people that they are being recorded. However, if the cameras only cover your private property, signage is not legally required but is recommended to avoid disputes and maintain transparency.

CCTV signs should be placed:

  • At the entrance to your property or near the camera locations.
  • In visible areas where individuals are likely to notice them before entering the monitored space.
    Proper placement ensures compliance with regulations and reduces the likelihood of complaints from neighbours or passers-by.

Can homeowners use CCTV signs to deter intruders without having a camera?

Yes, some homeowners use CCTV signs as a visual deterrent even without an actual camera. While this is not illegal, it’s important not to make misleading claims about surveillance. If you don’t have an active CCTV system, avoid including specific wording like "recording in progress."
