UK ICO Employment Practices and Data Protection: Monitoring Workers (2023) 1.19(b): 1.19(b) Covert monitoring: tightly targeted and time-limited, never in toilets or changing rooms, and not of private communications

Covert monitoring should be strictly targeted at obtaining evidence within the shortest possible set period and should stop when the investigation is complete; covert audio or video should not be used where workers can reasonably expect privacy, toilets and changing rooms among them, and in most cases covert monitoring should leave alone communications workers would reasonably treat as private, personal email for instance.
