UK ICO Guidance on Video Surveillance including CCTV (2022) P.11: P.11 Retention: the shortest period for the purpose, not the recorder's capacity or default, documented, securely deleted and checked

No fixed retention period applies; the purpose sets it, and the period should be the shortest the purpose needs, after which footage should be deleted. It should not be set by storage capacity or the manufacturer's default (six months merely because the system allows it) or kept in case it proves useful; the policy should be documented and understood by operators, deletion should be permanent and secure, and adherence should be checked. Longer retention can be justified for a specific purpose, such as preserving footage at the request of police investigating a crime.
