Article 29 Working Party Opinion 2/2017 on Data Processing at Work (WP249) 5.6: 5.6 Video monitoring: no video analytics of expressions or movements, no facial recognition

Video analytics that read workers' facial expressions automatically or flag deviations from set movement patterns are disproportionate to employees' rights and generally unlawful, and are likely to involve profiling and automated decisions; employers should refrain from facial recognition technology, and marginal exceptions cannot justify its general use. Under the GDPR, biometric identification also needs an Article 9(2) exception.
