Nearly half of surveyed large and small retail organizations in the U.K. have been fined for violating General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) video surveillance legislations.
Investigators determined that retailers are failing to protect user and employee privacy in video footage, according to a nationwide survey of retailers released by Secure Redact and conducted by Censuswide. The survey asked 500 British retailers a range of questions relating to in-store use of video surveillance technology, the visual data privacy of customers and GDPR violations.
