Anonymised respondent (company)
No breach found; concluded despite complainant silence. DPO, 14 February 2017.
The facts
An employee complained that fingerprint devices were installed at the company for attendance and that employees had to provide fingerprints without being asked for consent. The company replied that fingerprinting was not compulsory and only employees who consented gave fingerprints, and it was reminded that an alternative attendance method must be provided where consent has not been obtained. The office wrote to the complainant several times for a response and received none.
Orders and outcome
The enquiry was concluded with no breach of the Data Protection Act found, despite the complainant's silence in the face of the office's correspondence.
