    I'm working in a small shop and recently we got cctv camera's installed which is great but my issue is the owner has the only access to the footage on his phone as in there is no monitor on site so we dont know what exactly is seen or if there is sound being recorded. Is this in accordance with GDPR?

    Personally, i think the onsite monitors are a bit of a GDPR breach, if the CCTV is for the manager to superviser the staff, the ataff should not be able to see them, but this is my opinion

    Yes of course it is. A business owner of a shop has several legitimate reasons to have CCTV

    I would think he is perfectly fine, as long as staff and customers are made aware (via clear signage) that CCTV is in use then he is doing it correctly. If he distributes the footage, then there would be an issue, or if the CCTV recorder was in an insecure location etc that would be an issue. Him having sole access to the footage is, if anything, better under GDPR.

    There should be a sign up around the camera stating what its use is for and who the controller is. You can also request information from him about what the purpose of it is, etc.
