210 Cameras in Mallorca: Who Counts Our Cars — And at What Cost?

Answer

What are the privacy concerns around Mallorca’s camera network?

The main concerns are how long number plates and images will be stored, who can access them, and whether the data may be shared beyond the original purpose. There are also questions about whether a proper data protection impact assessment has been completed and whether the legal basis is clear enough. Without those safeguards, the system could create detailed movement profiles.
