Dearie me , somebody needs to read up on GDPR and data breaches , even under the DPA it wasn't allowed , George Orwell must be turning in his grave !!

Well I have, and I still can't see how Lildl looking at their car park cameras to see if the OP went in their store, is a Data Breach.
So could you please give me the benefit of your expertise in this matter, and enlighten me?

The basic concept here is that Lidl can look at their car park cameras to see who comes in their store and who doesn't.
So I'm not surprised you can't explain why it isn't allowed.

It's not a case of can't , it's won't

Contact the ICO if you really want to know , as it's their job to clarify it , not mine
Run your musings by them , in writing , and publish their reply

Neither does it help gemmalouise that you have hijacked her thread

I shan't 'really want to know' unless Athena try to fine me for returning in less than 2 hours.
Then I will want them to look at theiir car park cameras to confirm 2 different drivers visiting the store.
Since I have heard nothing from them perhaps they have done that already.
At least I have no worries about the cameras proving me a liar

Athena won't be using CCTV cameras, only ANPR cameras which focus on the vehicle's number plate.  They are not designed to capture facial images.

That may be so.
I'm not arguing with that.

This is about Lidl looking at their own cameras to see the different drivers getting out of my car.
Or in the case of the OP looking to see if she went in the store as she was encouraged to claim
They must doubt if people overstay unless going somewhere else.
How long does it take to do your shopping in Lidl.
I'm never anywhere near the time limit.
My only potential problem has been somebody else going in my car less than 2 hours before me.

Lidl are only interested in selling tins of beans, not checking CCTV recordings to see who comes in and out of their car park or who climbs in and out of drivers' seats.

for which they need to keep their car park clear for their customers, not full of cars owned by people who have gone elsewhere.

Coupon-mad

Which an ANPR system does not achieve...at all.

This poor OP, all she needs to do is get the keeper to complain to Lidl Head Office using the words I said ages back.

"for which they need to keep their car park clear for their customers, not full of cars owned by people who have gone elsewhere."

what part of ........

Lots of Aldi / Lidl stores have planning permission that allows drivers to use the car park for other local amenities

do you not understand?

Why would they check CCTV to look for some one who is parked there legally.

If you want to continue this then start your own discussion ......

Gemmalouise, have you asked the council about the car park in question as already suggested? It will greatly help your case if planning approval was given for this car park which allowed motorists to visit other retail facilities in order to support the local business community.

I don't know.
This discussion is about someone who has got a parking ticket.
.. and why do you ask a me question if you don't want me to answer?
