Employment & Workplace
There are several situations when your personal data can be processed in relation to employment. It can occur in cases where you apply for a job and throughout the period of your employment. If not processed lawfully, this may result in a violation of the right to private life.
Your employer may ask you to submit certain personal data, store the collected information or even provide it to others (for example, to the tax authority). Your employer may also monitor your communications (telephone, e-mail and internet usage) and carry out video recordings at the workplace.
