Shop (employer)

What happened

An employee had submitted a complaint to the Greek Data Protection Authority about the video surveillance in the store in which she had worked. The Greek DPA held that a CCTV system shall be handled as subject to Article 4(1) and Article 4(2) of GDPR Regulation. That judgment does not mean that any CCTV surveillance in workplaces and under any circumstances is forbidden; the Data Protection Officer seems to make an obiter dictum legal comment and not a ratio decidendi of that decision. The Greek Office, before finishing, its his judgment, goes through the principle of proportionality and finds, that in these facts, the merchant had not violated employees' rights when he installed the surveillance system.
