Right to Privacy and Protection of Personal Data of the worker

Currently problems related to the use of corporate surveillance systems are common which produces a tension with the fundamental rights of workers generating a debate on the limits that employers must take into account in the exercise of their power of control. In the same way the use of computer and communication media has become widespread in many areas which has also been used by employers to control their workers; but for the implementation of these methods their rules of use should be previously established and the workers should be informed that there will be a control and which means will be applied to guarantee their effective use at work when strictly necessary; however in the workplace there are not only labor relations but also relations that compromise very personal rights which can be affected. It is therefore important to define the limits that separate the control power of employers from the activities of workers and their fundamental rights such as privacy and the protection of their personal data.
