There is no issue here. If you no longer have it, then you no longer have the data. Some organisations I have dealt with only keep CCTV recordings for 7 days (which in my opinion is a tad short). Simon. From: This list is for those interested in Data Protection issues [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Broom, Doreen Sent: 01 June 2007 14:14 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [data-protection] CCTV Images All I have been looking at our Code of Practice on CCTV. I believe we hold our tapes for approximately 31 days. How does this accord with the Data Protection Act when a subject access request is made i.e. 40 days. We’re not the only Council who does this, some only hold the tapes for 28 days. I can’t remember if this came from the guidelines from the IC’s Office but it seems totally against the data subject’s rights according to the Act. TGIF.
