Very practical and useful, the purpose of this publication is to provide information on the rights and obligations of both employees and employers in this field.
The guidelines analyse the different existing forms of surveillance such as videosurveillance, surveillance of the usage of IT equipment, Internet usage and e-mail traffic, recording or tracing of telephone calls, biometric recognition systems, geolocalization (GPS) and supervision of electronic access and of working hours.
