Q: My Upper East Side co-op building takes pictures of all visitors, asks them for identification and stores their personal information in a database. Please tell me if it is legal to take pictures of my guests, and to log their information on a database? In some ways, a co-op is similar to an office building. Visitors come through, and management wants to know who they are. None of us have much privacy in common areas anyway, since security cameras are commonplace, and building management can view that footage.
