Amazon was punished in France for watching its workers too much. They were fined a lot of money because the way they were keeping an eye on their workers broke the law.
The CNIL said that Amazon France Logistique, which runs warehouses, collected data from workers’ handheld scanners.
Amazon was able to monitor the workers’ activities very accurately, which made them have to explain every break they took.
The CNIL said it was wrong for Amazon to keep workers’ data for 31 days.
The data protection agency in France looked into Amazon warehouses after workers complained and media reported on the working conditions.
More update on this story soon.
