Security camera in marina toilets Tollesbury!

Is that legal? Shouldn't I expect some privacy? Camera in both ladies and gents and you can't get in without codes.

I would think legal in the communal part. Must be a reason why they have installed them.

Is there a placard telling you about the camera according to GDPR? If there is then it's legal assuming it records outside of the cubicles.

Thanks, that looks like the official word, the relevant piece copied here "CCTV shouldn’t be running in areas considered private – such as in toilets and changing rooms. Using CCTV here wouldn’t usually be fair or proportionate, meaning it wouldn’t be compliant with data protection law."

There was a sign, not on the door as you enter but inside was a small sign on the wall at ceiling level in the far corner of the room.

You're not a troublemaker, so you avoid the next bit about it being justified to deal with antisocial behaviour and suchlike - maybe they've had a spate of vandalism, harassment or cottaging or whatever? That would justify putting the cameras up, especially if they were only reviewed when evidence was required (ie the staff have no access to the live stream, and only senior managers and police have access to the recordings).
