Shoppers May Be Filmed in High Street Lingerie Stores as Chain Rolls Out Body Cameras
Ann Summers is deploying body cameras in 23 high-risk UK stores after a successful trial, aiming to deter aggression and enhance staff and customer safety.
- Ann Summers is rolling out body-worn cameras to staff in 23 stores nationwide, with the rollout planned to extend into next year.
- An eight-week trial across three shops earlier this year showed benefits, prompting Ann Summers to prioritise higher-risk locations with enhanced staff training and privacy guidance.
- Footage will be stored securely and used only for legitimate purposes under secure storage, retention and access policies, with body-worn cameras usually activated during incidents or heightened risk.
- Customers should know shoppers may be recorded during interactions and retailers do not need explicit consent in publicly accessible shop areas, raising retailer privacy considerations.
- The move follows a wider UK trend, with Tesco announcing cameras for over 5,000 delivery drivers and H&M equipping staff earlier this year; Ann Summers is collaborating with law enforcement and retail partners.
