It delivered more precise country related information or clarified selected information. In addition, the study used an expert questionnaire with a view to receive input from experts around the world in the cross-sectional field of employment and data protection law. This involves available and relevant sources of regulation, including legislation, governmental decrees, collective agreements, recommendations, case law, as well as legal scholarship. This study uses a multiple set of legal research methods and sources, mainly involving desk research, including library searches and official websites (specific attention to government departments for justice, labour and data protection), applying key-terms based on the study outline. While this area is sufficiently vast and specific to deserve a separate in-depth study, this report will, within its limits, remain sufficiently sensitive to capture the legal data protection issues arising from them. These developments bring new regulatory challenges for the world of work and for data protection law.
#Basic data privacy principles update
Based on the research undertaken for this work paper, the finding is not only that these specific areas are extremely important for the update of the international knowledge base, but the suggestion is that this requires an in-depth follow-up study in its own worth.Ī similar approach is undertaken with regard to the discussion on artificial intelligence, robotisation and similar forms of automation. However, with a view to limit this working paper to basic principles, more specific or complementary principles related to electronic or digital monitoring and surveillance, or specific rules in relation to health data, will not be fully elaborated. The relevance and importance of specific areas of workers’ personal data protection should not be neglected. With this approach in mind, this working paper has limitations. An understanding of the general data protection principles themselves is considered necessary in order to comprehend their application in the work environment. Against this background, this working paper attempts to expose and clarify general data protection principles, having in mind that these principles are applicable in the context of the employment relationship. In light of this, the focus will be on data protection principles which have a general nature and which can be embedded in a global approach of ‘the basics’, laying ground for a variety of circumstances. The aim of this working paper is to give a global and updated outlook of the main and basic principles in this area, taking into account legal sources and principles from a comparative perspective. 1 Other forms of standards developed both within regional organisations as well as in many countries around the world.
#Basic data privacy principles code
Twenty years earlier, the ILO adopted its Code of Practice on the protection of workers' personal data. The European Union came with a ‘General Data Protection Regulation’ (GDPR) in 2016. Many global and regional initiatives have led to standards on personal data protection. The legal landscape in the field of personal data protection has strongly evolved over time. The purpose of this working paper is to give an overview of legal standards related to workers’ personal data protection and, from both a global and regional point of view, to explore trends, principles and good practices. This study on “the legal protection of workers' personal data” aims to develop the knowledge base on this subject in light of legal and technological developments. An understanding of general data protection principles is considered necessary to comprehend their application in the work environment and to build further towards principles that relate to more specific areas and problem fields. This working paper attempts to expose and clarify general data protection principles, having in mind that these principles are applicable in the context of the evolving employment relationship, taking into account technological evolutions. The focus is on data protection principles which have a general nature and which can be embedded in a global approach. The aim of this working paper is to give a global and updated outlook of the leading and basic legal principles and standards in this area. It explores trends, principles and good practices and brings them in relation to the world of work. This working paper gives an overview of legal standards related to personal data protection.
