The General Data Protection Law, also known as LGPD, came into effect in September 2020. This law ensures the protection of personal data, whether analog or digital, that is processed by individuals or legal entities in public or private organizations.
Since the enactment of the law, many institutions have had to change their data processing procedures and provide users with a clear policy for data collection and storage.
Additionally, there are various precautions to be taken depending on the type of data being processed, such as personal data, sensitive personal data, or anonymized data.
In the CCTV and Access Control market, the processing of information works similarly, in that all institutions responsible for users' personal data must collect, process, and maintain an explicit deletion policy. Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that all suppliers and partners who handle the personal data acquired by the company must also comply with the LGPD, creating a chain of companies regulated by the law.
Software
In CCTV and access control projects that involve IP equipment, the software for managing the data captured by the devices is an important product to consider, both in terms of quality and data security and storage.
With the LGPD law in effect, the software used to capture and manage data from cameras, video intercoms, and other devices must comply with all regulations of the law. It is important to emphasize that the LGPD does not have direct implications for a specific product, but rather for the entire process and its use for data processing and storage, so all processes surrounding the product must be regulated.
Thus, video monitoring software needs to present a clear policy regarding the use and storage of personal data and provide security so that the company using it can control, process, update, and delete data as necessary.
For this case, we recommend the software Milestone , which not only has various innovative tools for video monitoring and access control projects but also has a well-established data protection policy.
As an internationally recognized software solutions company, Milestone has its products and policies regulated under the GDPR, which establishes the protection of personal data collected in Europe, serving as a foundational law for the LGPD regulated in Brazil.
In its policy, which can be accessed by clicking here, Milestone outlines all processes and agents for using the software that provides all the necessary tools for good management of personal data in compliance with the LGPD.
