The facts

Staff delegates complained to the CDP on 14 January 2021 about video surveillance and biometric time-tracking installed by their employer, Groupe Fauzie Layousse. A control mission on 25 August 2021 found a disproportionate number of cameras inside employees' offices, cameras inside a hospitalisation room, the doctor's and archivist's offices and the lunch refectories, undeclared processing including video surveillance, personnel management and geolocation, no data-retention period, and no formalised procedures for exercising data subject rights.

Orders and outcome

The plenary put Groupe Fauzie Layousse on formal notice to end the breaches within one month of receiving the decision, including uninstalling or moving outside all cameras in the annex administrative building, the medical and archive rooms and the refectories, and formalising rights procedures; it reserved referral to the sanction committee if the notice went unheeded, and informed the company of its two-month recourse to the Supreme Court. Dated 2021.
