The regulations that apply to private individuals, and the penalties incurred for recording without consent: the essentials before installing a sensor in your home.
Which regulations apply to private individuals?
The regulations that apply to individuals equipping their home with a detection or surveillance device differ from one country to the next. In the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation applies, along with national guidelines such as those of the CNIL in France.
The key principles to remember: equip only your own property, aim the camera into the interior of the dwelling, do not overhang the public space or anyone else's property, and respect everyone's privacy.
Our Applicable regulations page sets out this framework country by country, and our Privacy page our commitments.
What are the penalties?
What does the law say? Recording images or sounds without the consent of the people concerned is strictly regulated. In the United States, where the yardstick is the reasonable expectation of privacy, several states regulate the placement of security cameras and the use of recordings, and the misuse of recordings can lead to civil and criminal consequences.
