Abstract
With the development of digital technologies used in workplaces to process personal data and control employees, the threat of unwarranted intrusion into the sphere of privacy of a person performing subordinate work is constantly increasing, not only by the employer but also by third parties. Not insignificant to this phenomenon is the popularity of remote work and contact via video conferencing. Protecting the right of publicity is an issue of great social importance. The purpose of this study is to analyse the legal issues that arise from processing personal data related to an employee’s image by an employer. The analysis of these problems will define the boundaries within which the employer’s actions should fall. In addition, processing one-, two- and three-dimensional images of an employee’s face, including biometric techniques, is becoming increasingly popular. Topics to be analysed include: video surveillance in the workplace, the obligation to use badges with a facial image, and sharing the employee’s facial image in connection with the employer’s information and promotional activities, e.g. in promotional leaflets, offers presented at trade fairs, promotional films. Answering the posed questions and achieving the set objectives will necessitate the application of the dogmatic-legal methods.
