Consultation of the CSE before installing the monitoring system (art. L2312-38)
Det afhængerkun i visse tilfældeBefore deciding to install a means of monitoring employees' activity, the employer must inform and consult the CSE (Social and Economic Committee). This applies only where a CSE exists: it is mandatory from 11 employees upwards. Below that threshold there is no CSE to consult, but the obligation to inform each employee individually remains (art. L1222-4).
Code du travail, art. L2312-38 (consultazione del CSE sui mezzi di controllo)
Authorisation from a labour authority before installing
Nejikke påkrævetFrance does not require prior authorisation from a labour authority, nor any further prior declarations to the CNIL (abolished on 25 May 2018 with the GDPR). The model is based on accountability: a record of processing activities and a DPIA where the risk is high.

Individual and prior information to the worker (art. L1222-4 + art. 13 GDPR)
JapåkrævetNo data may be collected from a device not brought to the worker s knowledge in advance; each worker must be informed of the controller, the purposes, the recipients and their rights.
Code du travail, art. L1222-4 (nessuna raccolta da dispositivo non portato a conoscenza)
Ban on permanent surveillance: geolocation must be subsidiary and switchable off outside working hours
JapåkrævetFor the CNIL, geolocation may not be used to monitor the employee permanently; it is subsidiary (prohibited if a less intrusive means already exists, e.g. to calculate working time where another clock-in system already exists) and must be able to be switched off outside working hours.

Data protection impact assessment (DPIA) for constant monitoring of employees' activity
JapåkrævetThe CNIL list includes, among the processing operations requiring a DPIA, those that constantly monitor employees' activity and large-scale processing of location data.

Limited retention of location data
JapåkrævetThe CNIL generally indicates a retention of about two months, extendable to up to one year only to prove a service performed.

Fremgangsmåden, trin for trin
If a CSE exists, inform and consult it before deciding on the installation (art. L2312-38).
Inform each worker individually and in advance (art. L1222-4, art. 13 GDPR).
Check subsidiarity: geolocation is not allowed if a less intrusive means already exists for the same purpose.
Carry out the impact assessment (DPIA) if the processing monitors constantly or processes location data on a large scale.
Configure the system: no permanent tracking, switch-off outside working hours, limited retention.
Keep the record of processing activities up to date (accountability, no longer a prior declaration).
If you switch systems: when you change your monitoring system or software, update and re-issue the privacy notice, and check whether the national agreement or authorisation for remote monitoring needs renewing. The provider (data processor), the data collected and the methods often change: the one provided earlier is not enough.

CNIL v. UBEEQO International, 7 July 2022: near-permanent geolocation in breach of data minimisation, the retention period and the information obligation. It concerned rental vehicles (customers), not employees in the strict sense, but it is the French landmark fine on excessive continuous geolocation. In 2025 the CNIL also fined several employers for the continuous geolocation of employees vehicles without the possibility of suspension during breaks.
