Personal determinability
Personal determinability exists when it can be established that a certain person was at a certain
location at a certain time. This identification can be made by means of an identifier related to a
specific person, e.g. a car number plate. Personal determinability of persons is to be avoided.
Surveillance cameras in the workplace
Surveillance in the workplace is subject to particularly strict legislation in Germany. Employers
should not use surveillance cameras in the workplace in situation where this could lead to a
possible infringement of legal rights.
Road traffic surveillance cameras
In the case of surveillance cameras directed at road traffic, it is recommended that the selection of
the location of the camera and the framing of the image is to be set up so that the road users can-
not be identified by means of the registration plates. Inscriptions/logos on vehicles may also serve
as a means of determination of the identity of a road user.
Duty of notification
If it is not possible to preclude the identification of persons, a notification informing of the presence
of the surveillance camera must be placed at clearly visible locations on all access routes to the
area within the filming range of the camera. Pedestrians must also be informed that by entering
the filming range of the camera they hereby give their consent to be filmed/photographed and
if they do not do so then they should not access the affected area. In this case, the voluntariness
of this consent must be taken into account. If the camera is located such that an affected person
must pass by in order to reach a destination (e.g. at the entrance to a place of interest) then the
absence of voluntariness precludes the granting of an effective consent.
The respective legal requirements of the land in which the camera is being used should always
observed to avoid possible infringements of the rights of third parties.
