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.

15 Apr 2026 Öffentliches Kommunalunternehmen (in der Mitteilung nicht namentlich genannt)Municipal company: 6,000 EUR for permanent GPS tracking of company vehicles €6,000
A provider of public utility services used GPS transmitters in company vehicles to record employees’ location data permanently and without cause, without defining a purpose, carrying out a balancing of interests or providing sufficient information. The Informacijski pooblaščenec (Information Commissioner of the Republic of Slovenia, IP) imposed 6,000 EUR on the company and 600 EUR on the responsible person.
GPS data are not suitable for performance monitoring – consider less intrusive means before introduction and inform employees in advance.

9 Apr 2026 Arbeitgeber (in der Mitteilung nicht namentlich genannt)Slovenia: 71,474 EUR for covert monitoring of employees using spyware €71,474
An employer installed the software Spyrix Employee Monitoring on the work computers of individual employees, which for months recorded screen content, audio and even private e-mails and conversations without informing the employees. The supervisory authority, the Informacijski pooblaščenec (Information Commissioner of the Republic of Slovenia, IP), imposed 71,474 EUR on the company and 4,000 EUR on the responsible person.
Covert employee monitoring by software is practically never permissible – IT and managers must know this before tools are installed.
