CNIL publishes new guidelines on the use of smart and thermal cameras in the context of the COVID-19 epidemic

17.06.2020

On 17 June 2020, the French DPA (CNIL) published guidelines on the use of so-called “smart” cameras and thermal cameras.

Among other aspects, the CNIL notes that nodding the head does not ensure the effectiveness of the right of opposition and therefore considers such practice to be uncompliant with the GDPR.

The press release is available here and the guidelines are available here (only in French).
