The new opinion (113/2005) issued by the EU Article 29 Working Party just prior to the Christmas break and available at:- http://europa.eu.int/comm/justice_home/fsj/privacy/docs/wpdocs/2005/wp113_en .pdf provides some new guidance relating public surviellance data.

It suggests retention of CCTV footage for 28 days unless for evidence purposes, in which case it should be retained until after any possible appeal period. We replace tapes in our control centre every 24 hours and retain them for 30 days before they are re-used in sequence. If the police have requested a tape for evidence of a crime, the tape is obviously marked and held separately for the police to collect.

We have looked at the IC’s guidance about purpose, but that seems immaterial when thinking about retention and disposal. (It’s nice when someone asks, not nice to not have an answer for them!) Any assistance gratefully received!
