Employee data protection is a constant issue in the day-to-day operations of many companies. In its decision (Case No. 10 A 6199/20), the Administrative Court (VG) of Hanover dealt with the use of technologies by Amazon which allow the company to monitor the working speed of employees in its logistics centre. In doing so, the court had to weigh the personal rights of the employees against the business interests of Amazon. The aspects that the court had to take into account, the role played by the supervisory authority and the works council, and other exciting legal questions are answered by research assistants Johannes Müller and Ole-Christian Tech in this anniversary episode of our podcast.
On 12 January 2023, the ECJ handed down a ruling on the scope of the data subject’s right of access. In this episode of “Weggeforscht”, Johannes Müller and Klaus Palenberg report on the decision, according to which a controller must specifically name all third parties to whom it discloses data. If the data subject so requests, it is not sufficient to merely name categories of recipients. This episode of “Weggeforscht” thus supplements the previous episode of 29 March 2023 with another aspect of the right of access.
The full text of the judgement is available here.
The right to information pursuant to Article 15 of the GDPR standardises the central right to information of a data subject with regard to the processing of his or her personal data. The scope of the data subject’s right to information under Article 15 of the GDPR has recently been the subject of much discussion in practice and case law.
However, the legal and practical pitfalls that arise in everyday life when processing requests from the data subject are not always sufficiently illuminated. How can the controller ensure that he releases the data to the true data subject? How can he ensure that no third party’s data is violated in the process of handing it over? These and other exciting legal questions are answered by research assistants Johanna Voget and Ole-Christian Tech.
