7 Jul 2026 Unternehmen mit drei Dienstfahrzeugen (in der Mitteilung nicht namentlich genannt)Administrative Court upholds ban on continuous GPS tracking of three company vehicles Order
The data protection authority had prohibited a company from tracking its three company vehicles continuously by GPS and ordered the data to be erased; narrow purposes such as theft protection while parked remained permitted. The Upravno sodišče Republike Slovenije (Administrative Court of the Republic of Slovenia) upheld this and clarified that employee consent bundled with other declarations is invalid.
Employee consent rarely supports monitoring – and never when it is bundled with other declarations in the form.

23 Dec 2025 Amazon France Logistique SASConseil d'État reduces CNIL fine against Amazon France Logistique to 15 million EUR €15m
In 2023, the French data protection authority (CNIL) had imposed 32 million EUR for the real-time monitoring of warehouse staff through scanner metrics. France's supreme administrative court (Conseil d'État) held that three metrics (‘Stow Machine Gun’, ‘Idle Time’, ‘Latency’) were covered by legitimate interest, but upheld the findings on the 31-day retention of all metrics, information deficiencies and security flaws in the video surveillance, and reduced the fine to 15 million EUR.
Store employee performance metrics only for as long and in as much detail as their specific purpose requires.

18 Jun 2025 Waxholms Ångfartygs AktiebolagWaxholmsbolaget: fine for processing a captain’s breathalyser test results €6,801
The shipping company processed results of on-board breath alcohol tests that could be attributed to a complainant employed as a captain. The Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) regarded this as processing without a legal basis and as unlawful processing of health data and imposed 75,000 SEK.
Monitoring data such as alcohol test results are employees’ health data – access, storage and legal basis must be settled before such tests are introduced.

13 Nov 2024 Foodinho S.r.l. (Glovo-Gruppe)Garante: 5 million EUR against Glovo subsidiary Foodinho over monitoring of riders €5m
The delivery platform unlawfully processed data on more than 35,000 riders: facial recognition for identity verification, location tracking even outside working hours and automated assessments without human review. Foodinho had already been sanctioned with 2.6 million EUR in 2021; in addition to 5 million EUR, the Italian data protection authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) prohibited the biometric processing.
Algorithmic management of workers requires transparency and human review, and must not include tracking outside working hours.
