A survey client asks the operator to send raw footage to a marketing agency even though the original job was structural inspection. What should be checked before sharing?

Answer

Check whether the new recipient and purpose are lawful and compatible, whether people must be informed, what data can be minimised, and what contractual or security controls are needed.

Explanation

Sharing is another form of processing. A valid reason for collecting footage does not automatically justify giving the full dataset to a new recipient.
