In light of the recent increase in remote working, necessitated by COVID-19 mitigation measures, as well as the increased numbers keeping in touch online with friends and family, the number of people video-conferencing and video-calling has increased dramatically. This has also resulted in people using apps and services which they might not have used before, or are now using for different reasons - ie using an app they usually use for personal purposes now for work purposes or vice versa. Concerns have been raised about how to use these technologies to keep in touch with colleagues and loved ones in a way that is safe and secure, and ensures an adequate standard of data protection.Here are some tips to help both individuals and organizations (such as employers who might introduce new or increased videoconferencing arrangements for employees) use these services in a safe manner:<a

data which, by its nature, are particularly sensitive from the point of view of fundamental freedoms and rights deserve specific protection, since the context in which they are processed could pose significant risks for these freedoms and rights. This personal data should include personal data which reveals racial or ethnic origin, it being understood that the use of the expression \"racial origin\" in this Regulation does not imply that the Union adheres to theories tending to establish the existence of distinct human races. The processing of photographs should not systematically be regarded as constituting the processing of particular categories of personal data, since these<strong>fall under the definition of biometric data only when they are processed using a specific technical method allowing the unique identification or authentication of a natural person</strong>. Such personal data should not be processed, unless this is authorized in specific cases provided for in this Regulation, taking into account that the law of a Member State may lay down specific data protection provisions aimed at adapting the application of the rules of this Regulation with a view to complying with a legal obligation or for the performance of a task of public interest or relating to the exercise of the public authority vested in the controller. In addition to the specific requirements applicable to this processing, the general principles and other rules of this Regulation should apply, in particular as regards the conditions for the lawfulness of the processing.Derogations from the general prohibition to process these particular categories of personal data should be explicitly provided for, inter alia when the data subject gives his<strong>express consent or to meet specific needs, in particular when the processing is carried out within the framework of the legitimate activities of certain associations or foundations whose purpose is to allow the exercise of fundamental freedoms.</strong></em><strong></strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In UK :&nbsp;<a href=\"https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=auto&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;tl=en&amp;u=https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/D-014-7572%3FtransitionType%3DDefault%26contextData%3D(sc.Default)%26firstPage%3Dtrue%26bhcp%3D1&amp;usg=ALkJrhj8itOdEFULQ2VI9TdlwRulT5fUjA\">Murray v Big Picture</a>&nbsp;§80</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>It is therefore possible to consider that the images processed during a videoconference fall within the definition of biometric data.&nbsp;The possibility of possible facial recognition training is not included.&nbsp;In addition, users who do not reveal their identity using nicknames can be identified by the disclosure of their associated image.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Consequently, the images or videos identifying the participants according to their racial, ethnic, religious, philosophical, or union membership are to be considered as falling under the category of special data.&nbsp;Similarly, those relating to the state of health or data of minor children fall into the category of special data.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Cf. the the&nbsp;<a href=\"https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=auto&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;tl=en&amp;u=https://www.cnil.fr/sites/default/files/atoms/files/reconnaissance_faciale.pdf&amp;usg=ALkJrhijXqC2SeKie9frzXI-yDXE14BM1w\">CNIL</a>\'s recommendation&nbsp;in matters of facial recognition and&nbsp;<a href=\"https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=auto&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;tl=en&amp;u=https://forum.technopolice.fr/assets/uploads/files/1582802422930-1090394890_1901249.pdf&amp;usg=ALkJrhigHmOTMs6dOFfLLlZeGBDFzu9hJw\">the recent judgment of the Conseil d\'Etat of February 27, 2020</a>&nbsp;.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>The principles of legality Article&nbsp;5</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The data to be collected must be processed lawfully and fairly according to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https://gdpr-info.eu/art-5-gdpr/\">Article 5</a><strong>.</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>1.&nbsp;<strong>Personal data must be:</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>a)&nbsp;<em>processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject (</em><strong><em>‘lawfulness, fairness and transparency’</em></strong><em>);(</em></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>A privacy notice must be produced defining the legal basis for processing and offering the transparency obligations defined in article 13, as explained infra.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><em>b) </em>collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes;

In light of the recent increase in remote working, necessitated by COVID-19 mitigation measures, as well as the increased numbers keeping in touch online with friends and family, the number of people video-conferencing and video-calling has increased dramatically. This has also resulted in people using apps and services which they might not have used before, or are now using for different reasons - ie using an app they usually use for personal purposes now for work purposes or vice versa. Concerns have been raised about how to use these technologies to keep in touch with colleagues and loved ones in a way that is safe and secure, and ensures an adequate standard of data protection.Here are some tips to help both individuals and organizations (such as employers who might introduce new or increased videoconferencing arrangements for employees) use these services in a safe manner:<a

data which, by its nature, are particularly sensitive from the point of view of fundamental freedoms and rights deserve specific protection, since the context in which they are processed could pose significant risks for these freedoms and rights. This personal data should include personal data which reveals racial or ethnic origin, it being understood that the use of the expression \"racial origin\" in this Regulation does not imply that the Union adheres to theories tending to establish the existence of distinct human races. The processing of photographs should not systematically be regarded as constituting the processing of particular categories of personal data, since these<strong>fall under the definition of biometric data only when they are processed using a specific technical method allowing the unique identification or authentication of a natural person</strong>. Such personal data should not be processed, unless this is authorized in specific cases provided for in this Regulation, taking into account that the law of a Member State may lay down specific data protection provisions aimed at adapting the application of the rules of this Regulation with a view to complying with a legal obligation or for the performance of a task of public interest or relating to the exercise of the public authority vested in the controller.

In light of the recent increase in remote working, necessitated by COVID-19 mitigation measures, as well as the increased numbers keeping in touch online with friends and family, the number of people video-conferencing and video-calling has increased dramatically. This has also resulted in people using apps and services which they might not have used before, or are now using for different reasons - ie using an app they usually use for personal purposes now for work purposes or vice versa. Concerns have been raised about how to use these technologies to keep in touch with colleagues and loved ones in a way that is safe and secure, and ensures an adequate standard of data protection.Here are some tips to help both individuals and organizations (such as employers who might introduce new or increased videoconferencing arrangements for employees) use these services in a safe manner:<a

data which, by its nature, are particularly sensitive from the point of view of fundamental freedoms and rights deserve specific protection, since the context in which they are processed could pose significant risks for these freedoms and rights. This personal data should include personal data which reveals racial or ethnic origin, it being understood that the use of the expression \"racial origin\" in this Regulation does not imply that the Union adheres to theories tending to establish the existence of distinct human races. The processing of photographs should not systematically be regarded as constituting the processing of particular categories of personal data, since these<strong>fall under the definition of biometric data only when they are processed using a specific technical method allowing the unique identification or authentication of a natural person</strong>. Such personal data should not be processed, unless this is authorized in specific cases provided for in this Regulation, taking into account that the law of a Member State may lay down specific data protection provisions aimed at adapting the application of the rules of this Regulation with a view to complying with a legal obligation or for the performance of a task of public interest or relating to the exercise of the public authority vested in the controller. In addition to the specific requirements applicable to this processing, the general principles and other rules of this Regulation should apply, in particular as regards the conditions for the lawfulness of the processing.Derogations from the general prohibition to process these particular categories of personal data should be explicitly provided for, inter alia when the data subject gives his<strong>express consent or to meet specific needs, in particular when the processing is carried out within the framework of the legitimate activities of certain associations or foundations whose purpose is to allow the exercise of fundamental freedoms.</strong></em><strong></strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In UK :&nbsp;<a href=\"https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=auto&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;tl=en&amp;u=https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/D-014-7572%3FtransitionType%3DDefault%26contextData%3D(sc.Default)%26firstPage%3Dtrue%26bhcp%3D1&amp;usg=ALkJrhj8itOdEFULQ2VI9TdlwRulT5fUjA\">Murray v Big Picture</a>&nbsp;§80</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>It is therefore possible to consider that the images processed during a videoconference fall within the definition of biometric data.&nbsp;The possibility of possible facial recognition training is not included.&nbsp;In addition, users who do not reveal their identity using nicknames can be identified by the disclosure of their associated image.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Consequently, the images or videos identifying the participants according to their racial, ethnic, religious, philosophical, or union membership are to be considered as falling under the category of special data.&nbsp;Similarly, those relating to the state of health or data of minor children fall into the category of special data.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Cf. the the&nbsp;<a href=\"https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=auto&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;tl=en&amp;u=https://www.cnil.fr/sites/default/files/atoms/files/reconnaissance_faciale.pdf&amp;usg=ALkJrhijXqC2SeKie9frzXI-yDXE14BM1w\">CNIL</a>\'s recommendation&nbsp;in matters of facial recognition and&nbsp;<a href=\"https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=auto&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;tl=en&amp;u=https://forum.technopolice.fr/assets/uploads/files/1582802422930-1090394890_1901249.pdf&amp;usg=ALkJrhigHmOTMs6dOFfLLlZeGBDFzu9hJw\">the recent judgment of the Conseil d\'Etat of February 27, 2020</a>&nbsp;.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>The principles of legality Article&nbsp;5</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The data to be collected must be processed lawfully and fairly according to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https://gdpr-info.eu/art-5-gdpr/\">Article 5</a><strong>.</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>1.&nbsp;<strong>Personal data must be:</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>a)&nbsp;<em>processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject (</em><strong><em>‘lawfulness, fairness and transparency’</em></strong><em>);(</em></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>A privacy notice must be produced defining the legal basis for processing and offering the transparency obligations defined in article 13, as explained infra.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><em>b) </em>collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes;

This has also resulted in people using apps and services which they might not have used before, or are now using for different reasons - ie using an app they usually use for personal purposes now for work purposes or vice versa. Concerns have been raised about how to use these technologies to keep in touch with colleagues and loved ones in a way that is safe and secure, and ensures an adequate standard of data protection.Here are some tips to help both individuals and organizations (such as employers who might introduce new or increased videoconferencing arrangements for employees) use these services in a safe manner:<a

data which, by its nature, are particularly sensitive from the point of view of fundamental freedoms and rights deserve specific protection, since the context in which they are processed could pose significant risks for these freedoms and rights. This personal data should include personal data which reveals racial or ethnic origin, it being understood that the use of the expression \"racial origin\" in this Regulation does not imply that the Union adheres to theories tending to establish the existence of distinct human races. The processing of photographs should not systematically be regarded as constituting the processing of particular categories of personal data, since these<strong>fall under the definition of biometric data only when they are processed using a specific technical method allowing the unique identification or authentication of a natural person</strong>. Such personal data should not be processed, unless this is authorized in specific cases provided for in this Regulation, taking into account that the law of a Member State may lay down specific data protection provisions aimed at adapting the application of the rules of this Regulation with a view to complying with a legal obligation or for the performance of a task of public interest or relating to the exercise of the public authority vested in the controller. In addition to the specific requirements applicable to this processing, the general principles and other rules of this Regulation should apply, in particular as regards the conditions for the lawfulness of the processing.Derogations from the general prohibition to process these particular categories of personal data should be explicitly provided for, inter alia when the data subject gives his<strong>express consent or to meet specific needs, in particular when the processing is carried out within the framework of the legitimate activities of certain associations or foundations whose purpose is to allow the exercise of fundamental freedoms.</strong></em><strong></strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In UK :&nbsp;<a href=\"https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=auto&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;tl=en&amp;u=https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/D-014-7572%3FtransitionType%3DDefault%26contextData%3D(sc.Default)%26firstPage%3Dtrue%26bhcp%3D1&amp;usg=ALkJrhj8itOdEFULQ2VI9TdlwRulT5fUjA\">Murray v Big Picture</a>&nbsp;§80</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>It is therefore possible to consider that the images processed during a videoconference fall within the definition of biometric data.&nbsp;The possibility of possible facial recognition training is not included.&nbsp;In addition, users who do not reveal their identity using nicknames can be identified by the disclosure of their associated image.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Consequently, the images or videos identifying the participants according to their racial, ethnic, religious, philosophical, or union membership are to be considered as falling under the category of special data.&nbsp;Similarly, those relating to the state of health or data of minor children fall into the category of special data.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Cf. the the&nbsp;<a href=\"https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=auto&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;tl=en&amp;u=https://www.cnil.fr/sites/default/files/atoms/files/reconnaissance_faciale.pdf&amp;usg=ALkJrhijXqC2SeKie9frzXI-yDXE14BM1w\">CNIL</a>\'s recommendation&nbsp;in matters of facial recognition and&nbsp;<a href=\"https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=auto&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;tl=en&amp;u=https://forum.technopolice.fr/assets/uploads/files/1582802422930-1090394890_1901249.pdf&amp;usg=ALkJrhigHmOTMs6dOFfLLlZeGBDFzu9hJw\">the recent judgment of the Conseil d\'Etat of February 27, 2020</a>&nbsp;.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>The principles of legality Article&nbsp;5</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The data to be collected must be processed lawfully and fairly according to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https://gdpr-info.eu/art-5-gdpr/\">Article 5</a><strong>.</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>1.&nbsp;<strong>Personal data must be:</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>a)&nbsp;<em>processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject (</em><strong><em>‘lawfulness, fairness and transparency’</em></strong><em>);(</em></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>A privacy notice must be produced defining the legal basis for processing and offering the transparency obligations defined in article 13, as explained infra.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><em>b) </em>collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes;

In light of the recent increase in remote working, necessitated by COVID-19 mitigation measures, as well as the increased numbers keeping in touch online with friends and family, the number of people video-conferencing and video-calling has increased dramatically. This has also resulted in people using apps and services which they might not have used before, or are now using for different reasons - ie using an app they usually use for personal purposes now for work purposes or vice versa. Concerns have been raised about how to use these technologies to keep in touch with colleagues and loved ones in a way that is safe and secure, and ensures an adequate standard of data protection.Here are some tips to help both individuals and organizations (such as employers who might introduce new or increased videoconferencing arrangements for employees) use these services in a safe manner:<a

data which, by its nature, are particularly sensitive from the point of view of fundamental freedoms and rights deserve specific protection, since the context in which they are processed could pose significant risks for these freedoms and rights. This personal data should include personal data which reveals racial or ethnic origin, it being understood that the use of the expression \"racial origin\" in this Regulation does not imply that the Union adheres to theories tending to establish the existence of distinct human races. The processing of photographs should not systematically be regarded as constituting the processing of particular categories of personal data, since these<strong>fall under the definition of biometric data only when they are processed using a specific technical method allowing the unique identification or authentication of a natural person</strong>. Such personal data should not be processed, unless this is authorized in specific cases provided for in this Regulation, taking into account that the law of a Member State may lay down specific data protection provisions aimed at adapting the application of the rules of this Regulation with a view to complying with a legal obligation or for the performance of a task of public interest or relating to the exercise of the public authority vested in the controller. In addition to the specific requirements applicable to this processing, the general principles and other rules of this Regulation should apply, in particular as regards the conditions for the lawfulness of the processing.Derogations from the general prohibition to process these particular categories of personal data should be explicitly provided for, inter alia when the data subject gives his<strong>express consent or to meet specific needs, in particular when the processing is carried out within the framework of the legitimate activities of certain associations or foundations whose purpose is to allow the exercise of fundamental freedoms.</strong></em><strong></strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In UK :&nbsp;<a href=\"https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=auto&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;tl=en&amp;u=https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/D-014-7572%3FtransitionType%3DDefault%26contextData%3D(sc.Default)%26firstPage%3Dtrue%26bhcp%3D1&amp;usg=ALkJrhj8itOdEFULQ2VI9TdlwRulT5fUjA\">Murray v Big Picture</a>&nbsp;§80</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>It is therefore possible to consider that the images processed during a videoconference fall within the definition of biometric data.&nbsp;The possibility of possible facial recognition training is not included.&nbsp;In addition, users who do not reveal their identity using nicknames can be identified by the disclosure of their associated image.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Consequently, the images or videos identifying the participants according to their racial, ethnic, religious, philosophical, or union membership are to be considered as falling under the category of special data.&nbsp;Similarly, those relating to the state of health or data of minor children fall into the category of special data.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Cf. the the&nbsp;<a href=\"https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=auto&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;tl=en&amp;u=https://www.cnil.fr/sites/default/files/atoms/files/reconnaissance_faciale.pdf&amp;usg=ALkJrhijXqC2SeKie9frzXI-yDXE14BM1w\">CNIL</a>\'s recommendation&nbsp;in matters of facial recognition and&nbsp;<a href=\"https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;pto=aue&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=auto&amp;sp=nmt4&amp;tl=en&amp;u=https://forum.technopolice.fr/assets/uploads/files/1582802422930-1090394890_1901249.pdf&amp;usg=ALkJrhigHmOTMs6dOFfLLlZeGBDFzu9hJw\">the recent judgment of the Conseil d\'Etat of February 27, 2020</a>&nbsp;.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>The principles of legality Article&nbsp;5</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The data to be collected must be processed lawfully and fairly according to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https://gdpr-info.eu/art-5-gdpr/\">Article 5</a><strong>.</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>1.&nbsp;<strong>Personal data must be:</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>a)&nbsp;<em>processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject (</em><strong><em>‘lawfulness, fairness and transparency’</em></strong><em>);(</em></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>A privacy notice must be produced defining the legal basis for processing and offering the transparency obligations defined in article 13, as explained infra.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><em>b) </em>collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes;
