Communication FAQ Privacy Guarantor

The Privacy Authority has prepared a series of FAQs in relation to the sensitive issue of personal data processing, connected to the current state of epidemiological emergency.

Among the various information points, specific indications are provided in relation to the possibility of proceeding with the detection of employees' body temperature upon entry to the workplace.

It is specified, in fact, that the real-time detection of body temperature, when associated with the identity of the data subject, constitutes a processing of personal data.

Further warnings are also provided in relation to the use of possible self-declarations or the possibility that the identity of the infected worker is communicated to other colleagues. On this last point, the Guarantor excludes that the employer can disclose the identity of the infected employee to other workers.

The duty remains with the employer to communicate the names of the infected personnel to the competent health authorities and to collaborate with them for the identification and reconstruction of the "close contact chain" in order to immediately activate the necessary prophylaxis measures.
