Palma steps up: More cameras, drones and the big question of privacy

Answer

How is video surveillance in Palma supposed to protect privacy?

Privacy protection depends on how the system is set up and who can access the recordings. Key safeguards include purpose limits, short storage periods, masking private areas where needed and avoiding facial recognition until the legal framework is clear. Without these rules, surveillance can quickly feel too broad.
