Bosnia and Herzegovina's data-protection authority says video surveillance is personal-data processing and must be necessary, proportionate and accountable. The authority has also published a case saying workplace surveillance without a legal basis is unlawful.
Canada
Employee monitoring in Canada is not prohibited outright but federal privacy guidance says it should be reasonable proportionate minimally intrusive and transparent to workers.
