UK ICO Employment Practices and Data Protection: Monitoring Workers (2023) 3.11(c): 3.11(c) Device activity monitoring: webcam capture rarely justified, keystroke logging is behavioural biometric data, and private use of own devices kept out

Capturing webcam shots or footage is particularly unlikely to be justified; keystroke monitoring counts as behavioural biometric data when typing rhythm can identify a worker. Barring personal use of company devices and blocking problem websites could reduce risk, but even then accessing personal communications is hard to justify, and when workers use their own devices for work the employer should make sure it does not capture their private use.
