Chris,
The domestic purpose exemption applies only where an individual - not any
other legal entity - processes for his/her own or his family’s use (purpose) for
household affairs. I think that bit is quite straight forward.
Taking your garden CCTV camera example; if your purpose is to safeguard your
prize blooms or keep an eye on the family’s pet rabbit then that's a legitimate
domestic purpose. It isn't related to some form of commercial activity, and is
only done in the context of your personal or family activity and it isn't
otherwise unlawful. Moving your camera so that it infringes your neighbour's
right to quiet enjoyment of their sun bed in their backroom not only infringes
your neighbour’s privacy rights but also might be considered as voyeurism
which is an offence. So they could quite rightly object.
Does that help?
Rgds,
Kevin
