Remarks like yours remind me that today's UK is nothing like that of Agatha Cristie novels when politeness mattered above all else. Laws pile on top and laws, many of them impossible to define with any clarity. Neighbor gets set against neighbor to the point where no one is happy. And to state the obvious, in such a world only the lawyers come out ahead.

Appreciated as always, Daniel - all the moreso for this being a complex area and one potentially affecting everybody. Better safe than sorry!

Daughters neighbour had a camera at bedroom window pointing into the bedroom of neighbour across the road, and one aiming straight into my daughters rear garden showing whole rear garden and patio. It was discovered when installing a camera inside in garage area that linked to the home computer. When tuning in, the images from the neighbours camera came up on her computer. The police came and the neighbour had to remove the cameras. They never had the camera at rear into their own back garden and the other camera they had was directly facing into the upper floor bedroom, not the road.

I thankfully told my old and new neighbours about my video doorbell and that it doesn't reach there space at all as I've set the view to just my gate and fence, nothing is stored, and thank you so much for the brilliant discount when I just signed up for the incogni plan!

being (luckily) in a beautiful area of france we are plagued in the summer with ULM (small planes etc) buzzing around - tourists (i hope and not any other nefarious activities) snapping photos over our property. I complained when a photo appeared on the site of the company who runs /hires these ultralight planes clearing showing my 2 young grandchildren poolside and naked - they took it down claiming the photo was really about the property being on the river etc etc but i was furious (i have asked that they not low fly over our property but to no avail) - considering we are surrounded on three sides by farmland and the river on the other it’s not like they need to fly over us)

The irony of supplying yet another company with my personal data, just to remove my personal data from a whole bunch of other companies isn't lost on me, so I won't be doing it.

Great video Daniel! On a different data protection issue. You may be aware the CAA are currently doing a consultation regarding changes to drone regulation. The CAA survey is poorly constructed and confusing but toward the end there is a section relating to Remote ID of drones. The basic principle currently understood by the drone community is a proposal to use the UK mobile phone network to harvest flight data transmitted by your drone for the CAA to review. The argument is the CAA will use this data to improve flight safety compliance and use it for enforcement action should it be required. My research has lead me to the following conclusion and I wondered what your views are, whether it is correct and whether it would be a good topic for a video (it is a hot topic in the drone community at the moment). The basis of Remote ID is that flight data (including GPS location data) will be recorded and transmitted to the CAA for retention (no mention of how long). The question is would this process fall foul of Article 8 ECHR (the right to respect for your family and private life, your home and your correspondence) on the basis that GDPR defines GPS data (as in mobile phones) as personal data. As you will be aware the exact definition is: personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Drone GPS data being gathered by the UK mobile phone network using Remote ID (the only way this could work) would meet this criteria perfectly. I know the restrictions regarding gaining access to such data are understandably strict. If anyone (CAA/police) want to gain access to it there is a raft of investigatory legislation which sets certain conditions as to why access is required. Am I right in thinking there has to be valid, articulated reason (i.e. the suspicion an offence has occurred) and be necessary and proportionate to the offence under investigation and not be available via any other means? Would a drone be provided the same restrictions that all GPS enabled mobile phones are given? I very much doubt the CAA would be given cart blanch access to Remote ID data & would never be granted unless similar conditions are met. It would be great to hear your views. Thanks and all the best! Cheers. SAA

50 + years ago an old gent I knew would walk along the seafront promenade of a large town on the south coast with a cassette recorder and a microphone attached to the lapel of his jacket and record brief bits conversations of the passing people and when he arrived home would listen to the recordings, but there would be only be the odd words from the conversations. At no time did he record complete conversations, I think he did this for written artistic reasons.

London is the 4th in the list of world cities surveillance by CCTV cameras per square Km.

Beijing is 10th.

How do we know what all those 'official' cameras are collecting about our movements. Equally how do we even know where the cameras are and who to make a SAR to? TfL are less than helpful - and they probably have the most.

People getting all wound up about the odd Ring doorbell when their every move away from the home can be, and probably is, tracked.

Incogni dont have every data harvesting company listed so cant help in every case so they cant help me sadly. So what do we do when Incogni cant help?

Household exemption only applied to DPR not GDPR, and came from a case where a Judge ruled incorrectly IMO, and in the opinion of the regulators since they made the ruling redundant in the GDPR and made a different definition to the one the judge took. It is sad that we cannot call into question such stupidity.
I don't recall any mention of "individual", Private use is excluded from the GDPR.
GDPR clarifies what is means by "private use", in that it means not for commercial use. In other words if you make no profit or other benefit from the data then it is for private use. This means you can point your home CCTV wherever you want, provided it does not interfere with other regulations/rights.

Can your employer make you sign in at work using your biometric or would this come under gdpr?

Going to be honest working in several companies GDPR can be a pain, like someone calling up to pay a penalty for someone else....but as that is not the main person we cannot discuss anything apart from....how much do you want to pay ?. I know there can be sensitive information but i cannot imagine someone giving out because we let someone else pay their fine :D. Or another example someone has a rental car and they call as they want to know how many times they went through a barrierless cannot tell them as the car is registered to the rental company

My local pub has a customer-facing screen that shows the number of drinks and the amount spent by each customer. At least two customers have complained that they do not want other customers to see this information. Does this violate or contravene GDPR in any way?

By the way, another great video.

Great guidance thanks.
One question,
I keep a private camera on our trained on our back garden fence (with audio) with appropriate masking. I set it up setup after I was accused of what would have been a nasty attack if it wasn't fictitious. The data is only available to me, and possibly the police only if they have a warrant. It' is a private only system!

An argument around the proximity of a barbeque to the shared fence involved a neighbour('s sister) ringing the police claiming a racist attack, would this be a valid reason to keep the system "household"? I had Keith Vaz and various South Asian associates willing to attest to my not-violent/groupist nature.!
And it makes great hedgehog-TV records.!

Right can someone help me. I left an abusive relationship on the last day of my tenancy 26th august 2016 she and her family were stealing money from my bank account without me knowing and I gave the keys back to the estate agents and signed that I was leaving. After that her father and my ex attacked me outside my work I was hospitalised, eye witnesses and they got given suspended sentences and restraining orders. The flat we rented was 7 years ago with an estate agents that’s now been taken over by another company. This company has found out my new address and sent me a debt letter stating they wanted me to
Pay the outstanding rent she owes because she refused to
Leave the property when I did and she didn’t pay rent for 6 months, she changed the locks and damaged the property. But the issue is they sent me a debt letter which was my ex’s doing not mine but they put her address on the letter as well as mine and they sent her the exact same letter and confirmed that with me on the phone. So now my abusive and violent ex now knows my new address, can I take the estate agents to court for endangering me???

About privacy. How does and auditor/citizen journalist who publishes on YouTube stand in regard to YouTube's privacy rules, especially if the Data Subject, who may be in public, claims on film that they do not want their image shown?
