Complaints about home CCTV systems

Contact the ICO

Based on your answers, it is unclear whether the home CCTV user is breaking data protection law.  

The ICO can only take action if the user broke data protection laws, eg if they haven’t actioned a request for footage  or haven’t deleted footage when asked.  

The ICO will write and ask them to follow the rules. There is limited action we can take after this point.  

It is highly unlikely the ICO would consider it fair and balanced to take any enforcement action against a domestic CCTV user. 

If you are unsure if the person is breaking data protection law, you can contact the ICO to talk about your concerns. Call our helpline on 0303 123 1113 or use our live chat.

If you believe the user is not breaking data protection law but you are still unhappy with their use of CCTV, you can follow Government guideline about resolving neighbour disputes.
