Israel’s Privacy Protection Authority issued an opinion on employers collecting and monitoring employee location data, saying it violates employee privacy. In collecting the data, employers must comply with the Privacy Protection Act, which includes examining the “proper relationship between the benefit and harm to the employee’s right to privacy,” the PPA said. The practice creates "a constant state of surveillance" and violates an employee's right to privacy "even when activities are monitored within the working day."
