Body Cameras And The GDPR

On 18 December 2025, the Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU") delivered a salient GDPR transparency ruling for organisations using body-worn cameras and other 'observational' recording tools. In Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten v AB Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (C-422/24), the CJEU held that where personal data are captured by a body camera worn by ticket inspectors on public transport, the controller's information duties are governed by Article 13 GDPR, not Article 14.

The incidental question: 'Which of Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR applies where personal data are [collected] by [means of] a body camera?'
