What's the maximum video retention allowed under GDPR?

GDPR doesn't specify a maximum, but the principle of data minimization suggests you should not keep footage longer than necessary. Most EU organizations use 7-30 days for public areas. Banks and public security may use longer periods with business justification. Italy's Garante requires max 7 days for most cases, max 24 hours for banking.

Can I place cameras in employee areas under GDPR?

Yes, but only if there's a legitimate business purpose (security, loss prevention). You cannot monitor restrooms, changing rooms, or medical facilities. Employees must be informed via signage and privacy policies. Retention should be minimal (7-14 days for most cases).

How does HIPAA affect security camera design?

HIPAA requires: (1) no cameras in patient care areas, restrooms, or private spaces; (2) secure network isolation if cameras access patient networks; (3) audit logs for all access to video; (4) minimum 6-year retention for evidence; (5) encryption of stored and transmitted video if it contains PHI.
