The facts

An employee complained that her organisation's CCTV captured all her movements, that footage viewed by a male security officer and others was being used before a disciplinary committee, and she felt her dignity affected. The matter was initially considered for referral to the Police for an in-depth enquiry given possible financial issues, but the complainant thanked the Office and advised ending the matter, so no referral was made.

Orders and outcome

The Commissioner found the enquiry disclosed no offence under the DPA and closed it to the satisfaction of all parties.
