By this study we propose to determine what are the conditions and limits of the collection and processing of personal data in the activity of professional evaluation of employees. Personal data are collected and processed in the context of employment relations also for the purpose of the appraisal of employees' professional activity. The monitoring of the employees' activity aims at evaluating the accomplishment of the specific responsibilities of the position, as well as the fulfillment of the individual and/or team goals. A discussion on personal data protection aims at the very analysis of the balance between the legitimate interests of employers in collecting and processing employees' data and the reasonable expectations of employees when it comes to privacy. Facilities allowing real-time access of the employer to employee's location data via smart devices, that is considered less visible to employees, applications that record the time and pace of work, the facial expressions and gestures of employees provide more than a process diagnosis, but also the diagnosis and prediction of behaviors, automatically generating profiling.
