Uppsalahem AB

Опис

The Swedish DPA (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten) fined the housing company Uppsalahem AB SEK 300,000 (EUR 29,500). The housing company had installed surveillance cameras in an apartment building to monitor one floor after disturbances and security incidents occurred. The cameras not only monitored the staircase, but also the front door of a resident. Therefore, when the door was opened, the inside of the apartment was also captured by the video surveillance. While the company may have had a legitimate interest in the video surveillance, this is outweighed by the residents' right to privacy.
