Compliance with GDPR for Live Monitoring
When operating in or dealing with users from jurisdictions under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), adhere to the following guidelines to ensure compliance:
Deactivation of Monitoring Features: In scenarios where compliance cannot be fully guaranteed, it is advisable to disable live monitoring and session recording features to avoid non-compliance with GDPR.
User Notification and Consent: If live monitoring and session recording are utilized, it is crucial to inform users explicitly about the monitoring:
Notification: Communicate to users that their session will be monitored and recorded.
Details of Monitoring: Explain how the monitoring will be executed and what will be recorded.
Option to Opt-Out: Ensure users are aware they can opt out of monitoring by choosing not to proceed with the session.
Implementing these measures is essential for protecting user data and complying with GDPR regulations. This not only helps safeguard user privacy but also aligns with legal obligations, ensuring that the organization's monitoring practices are transparent and respectful of user rights.
