Employee privacy protection
Karlec, Jan ; Štefko, Martin (advisor) ; Morávek, Jakub (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of privacy in the workplace. Employees expect to have some privacy at work, even when they are using the employer's equipment. On the other hand, employers need basic information about their employees and they have the right to know that work is being done properly and efficiently. Finding the balance between the interests of both sides is quite complicated and the disputes regarding privacy infringement in the workplace are often decided by highest courts. In concrete, this thesis deals with the processing of personal data in the employment context and with the surveillance of employees. The aim of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive overview of this issue and assess the current level of protection of privacy of employees in Czech Republic. The thesis is composed of nine chapters. The first introductory part of this thesis (chapters 2 - 4) describes the fundamental human right to privacy and personal data protection in general. Chapter Two characterises the right to privacy and chapter Three gives an overview of relevant legal sources. Chapter Four presents basic terms and principles of the processing of personal data under the Act No. 101/2000 Coll., on the Protection of Personal Data. The following chapter looks at collection of personal data before the...

Employees surveillance from a data protection perspective
Hruška, Matěj ; Morávek, Jakub (advisor) ; Matějka Řehořová, Lucie (referee)
Employees surveillance from a data protection perspective Abstract The topic of the thesis was employee surveillance from a data protection perspective. In the first chapter I outlined the issues of the right to privacy with regard to the employee's workplace and the protection of personal data in employment relationships, together with the relevant legislation, including subsidiary and European regulations. The most relevant regulations in this field are the Labour Code and the directly applicable EU GDPR. In the second chapter, I have slightly stepped forward from the theoretical to the practical level by analysing what the employer-employee relationship might look like under Section 316 of the Labour Code and, in particular, I have discussed the basic principles, conditions and rights of the GDPR such as legality, transparency etc. and then I have presented some more problematic practical examples. In the last part of the chapter, I introduced the concept of connected vehicles, which we cannot yet encounter in full. In the third chapter, I discussed purely practical cases decided before the European Court of Human Rights. In particular, the judgment in Barbulescu v. Romania caused quite a stir in the Czech legal environment. Moreover, the case, just like Ribalda Lopez vs. Spain, was heard by the Grand...

Personal Data Protection and Labour Law Relationships
Lejsek, Jakub ; Morávek, Jakub (advisor) ; Tomšej, Jakub (referee)
This thesis deals with the protection of personal data in relation to the labour law relationships. Considering the extensiveness of the topic of personal data protection, the aim of this thesis is not giving an all-encompassing explanation, however, to introduce the general legal regulations together with the explanation of the principal legal concepts and their subsequent application on the labour law relationships. The author divides this thesis into 6 chapters. Apart from the relevant legal regulations the author focuses on the main case law and opinions issued by WP 29 and UOOU (the Office for Personal Data Protection) as well, which interpret some legal uncertainties. By reason that the personal data protection is integrally connected to the inviolability of the person and privacy itself, the first chapter focuses on the concept of privacy and its interpretation. The second chapter discusses the privacy and data protection legal regulation. This chapter covers both international, regional and also Czech legislation, which particularly emanates from the European Parliament and Council Directive 95/46/EC. In the third chapter, the author focuses on the basic concepts of the personal data protection. Its explanation is necessary not only for understanding of this topic, but also for the...

Valachová, Tereza ; Morávek, Jakub (advisor) ; Štefko, Martin (referee)
The submitted thesis deals with personal data protection in the context of labour-law relationships. This is an actual and discussed issue in current society, which has constitutional aspects as well. Due to the extensiveness of the topic, the aim of this thesis is not giving a comprehensive explanation of the personal data protection in labour-law relationships area. My effort is to perform the reader with this issue from the general introduction including a survey of the legislation and explanation of main concepts to outlining the fundamental principles of the legislation and focusing more thoroughly on the several selected questions. The thesis itself is divided into four chapters. In my thesis I am trying to point out to the most important court decisions and also the opinions of The Office for Personal Data Protection and The Article 29 Working Party. In the first chapter I deal with the concept of privacy, because I consider it to be a "foundation stone" of the whole issue of personal data protection. This chapter demonstrates how the concept of privacy has developed in the course of time, in the next chapter the legislation of privacy protection and, as well, a conflict with other values are pointed out. In the second chapter I focus on the legislation of privacy and personal data...
