In the dossier, AEPD, exposes that a particular this trained legally to install itself as a security system that includes cameras without having to comply with the Law on private security, but this training at any time excludes him from compliance with the data protection act and therefore of the duty to inform of the existence of the camera and the Declaration of the corresponding file. In this case, and not having proof that the camera at some point got to be operational, the AEPD understands that you have not existed treatment there is no imposition of possible sanctions to the not having violated legal precept either.
