Set by the law · GDPR Art. 88(2)
Employee monitoring
In plain English
An employer monitoring its staff. National rules on employee data must protect workers' dignity and rights, including for workplace monitoring systems, and consent is rarely valid because employees depend on their employer.
The official text
Those rules shall include suitable and specific measures to safeguard the data subject's human dignity, legitimate interests and fundamental rights, with particular regard to the transparency of processing, the transfer of personal data within a group of undertakings, or a group of enterprises engaged in a joint economic activity and monitoring systems at the work place.
employees are seldom in a position to freely give, refuse or revoke consent, given the dependency that results from the employer/employee relationship
