∘ Giorgi Khorbaladze ∘

The primary objective of the Law of Georgia “On Personal Data Protection” is to safeguard the rights to privacy, family life, personal space, and the inviolability of communication. Video monitoring constitutes one of the forms of personal data processing. To ensure the protection of an employee’s rights as a data subject—particularly the right to personal autonomy—and to lawfully implement video monitoring of the workplace and work processes, it is essential to consider a range of legal aspects established under the Law on Personal Data Protection.

This paper examines the legislative framework governing the implementation of video monitoring in the workplace, alongside the relevant practices of the Personal Data Protection Service, supervisory authorities in European jurisdictions, and the European Court of Human Rights. Additionally, it addresses specific legal considerations pertaining to the video monitoring of employees’ workspaces and work processes, as well as the key obligations of Controller to process such data.
