Abstract

Protection of personal data is a challenge for Georgian and not only Georgian law and practice. The article analyzes the latest legal approaches, foreign literature and international case law using a comparative legal method. The paper specially focuses on the new Georgian law on Personal Data Protection, which came into force a few months ago and provides specific rules for video monitoring/video surveillance. There is no any judgements or decisions by the Georgian general courts on the regulation established by the new law and its problematic issues. Therefore, the present article analyzes the EU’s experience and
the trends of its implementation in the Georgian reality. There are several decision of ECtHR concernin the processing of
personal data through video monitoring of the employee’s workspace. These decisions are so important that they are mentioned in almost all modern legal literature. Therefore, the article overviews them and discusses Georgian legislation and legal practice in the light of the ECtHR’s case law.
