Is the private cinema camera illegal?

Legal analysis: Private cinemas belong to public space, and cameras can be installed. It is not illegal to install monitoring equipment (except toilets, changing rooms and bathrooms), but consumers must be informed that they have cameras and are responsible for keeping monitoring videos, and their privacy must not be revealed. Once the privacy of consumers is leaked, it may be illegal.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
