On 18 December 2025, the CJEU handed down judgment in case C-422/24 which relates to the use of body worn cameras by a Swedish public transport company during ticket inspections.
The CJEU held that the use of body worn cameras involves the collection of personal data directly from the individual and therefore, transparency information must be provided immediately. The CJEU held that “direct” provision of information does not have to involve the data subject knowingly providing the information or performing a specific action to provide the data, just that the information is obtained from the individual. The CJEU further advised that the most important information should be conveyed by a warning sign and other information could be provided in an easily accessible place.
