GDPR compliance and Milestone XProtect VMS

On May 25th, 2018, the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect. The objective of this regulation is to give individuals more control over how their personal data is collected, processed and shared.

GDPR provides a structure for businesses that clarifies their roles and responsibilities and gives individuals the opportunity to control how their personal data is used.

This document gives you an overview of the requirements, and how you can work with GDPR compliance when using the XProtect video management system (VMS).

See Appendix: The Milestone XProtect VMS system and GDPR for specific information on how a Milestone XProtect VMS system can best be made compliant with GDPR.

Disclaimer: The information in this document and any recommendations are provided as-is. Following this document does not implicitly mean that your system will be GDPR compliant.

The Milestone XProtect VMS requires configuration. Any configuration or modification of settings must comply with EU data protection law. While the Appendix: The Milestone XProtect VMS system and GDPR and Additional safeguards provide information on how to start a compliant setup, you must adhere to EU data protection laws when further configuring the system.
