Saudi Arabia and Qatar

How long must CCTV recordings be kept in Qatar?

Qatar's Law No. 9 of 2011 requires surveillance cameras at many premises, enforced by the Ministry of Interior's Security Systems Department, and recordings are reported to be kept for 120 days without editing before being handed to authorities on request. Cameras are prohibited in private areas such as bedrooms, patient rooms, changing rooms and toilets.

General information, not legal advice. Rules change and vary by premises type: confirm with the relevant authority or an approved installer.
