4,000 Euro fine against employee
Unlawful employee monitoring using spyware on a work computer.

The Slovenian Data Protection Authority imposed a total fine of 75,474 EUR on RIEDL PRECISION (71,474 EUR) and a responsible individual (4,000 EUR). Without any legal basis, the company had installed software on an employee’s work computer that allowed for complete monitoring of all activities—including private emails, Facebook communications, and audio calls. This action constitutes a clear violation of the principle of lawfulness and the requirements of Article 6(1) of the GDPR.
