Was Sie vor der Prüfung wissen sollten

Canada’s privacy commissioners say businesses should first ask whether a less privacy-invasive option would meet their needs before using video surveillance.
Signs should tell people about video surveillance before they enter the area, and include a contact for questions or access requests.
Cameras should not be aimed at places where people expect more privacy, such as washrooms or into windows, and sound should not be recorded unless there is a specific need.
Knowingly intercepting a private communication without the consent of a person in the conversation is an offence under section 184 of the Criminal Code.
Recordings should be kept only as long as needed for their purpose, destroyed securely and viewed only by authorized people. People have the right to see images of themselves.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Can a business record sound on its security cameras?

Privacy guidance says sound should not be recorded unless there is a specific need. Recording private conversations without the consent of someone in them can also be a Criminal Code offence.

Can someone ask to see CCTV footage of themselves?

Yes. Privacy guidance says people have a right to access images of themselves. Other people in the footage should be masked or blurred first.

How long should CCTV footage be kept?

Only as long as it is needed for its purpose, as set in the organization’s policy. Footage linked to an incident is usually kept longer so police or insurers can use it.

Can I share a CCTV clip with friends or online?

No. Footage contains personal information. Share it only as your employer’s policy allows, such as with police for an investigation.

Ist die Bescheinigung akkreditiert oder offiziell anerkannt?

Nein. Es ist eine private Teilnahmebescheinigung, nur für Ihr Wissen. Sie ist von keiner Behörde, Zulassungsstelle, Aufsichtsbehörde oder Bildungseinrichtung anerkannt, akkreditiert oder genehmigt und ersetzt keine gesetzlich vorgeschriebene Lizenz, Zertifizierung oder Ausbildung.
