Lawyer's statement
Song Jingyi, a lawyer at Beijing Jingshi Law Firm, said that it is not illegal for companies to install cameras in public areas, but it may be possible to install cameras one-on-one at individual workstations. It is suspected of violating employee privacy rights and infringing personal information. According to the relevant provisions of the " Personal Information Protection Law ", the collection and processing of personal information should have a clear and reasonable purpose, and should be directly related to the purpose of processing. The method should be adopted with the least impact on personal rights and interests, and personal information should not be excessively collected and used.
Song Jingyi said that if the game development is kept confidential, the company can sign confidentiality agreement with employees, and can install monitoring software on the computers provided by the company to employees. Managers can calculate the network activities that employees are engaged in within a specific period of time. Behaviors, such as monitoring and counting computer software usage, and installing monitoring at work stations cannot actually prevent the leakage of game research and development results.
Song Jingyi reminded that personal images and identification information collected by installing surveillance equipment in public places can only be used for the purpose of maintaining public security and cannot be used for other purposes. Therefore, if decides to install cameras, employees have the knowledge and consent. There is no problem; but if the employees do not accept it, it is illegal for the company to force the installation. Employees can make complaints and reports to supervisory authorities.
