The purpose of the research is to reflect upon the two fundamental legal issues involved in these court cases: first, the problems related to the worker’s data processing by the employer and, second, the legal relevance that can be validly assigned to the employee’s off-duty conduct on the employment relationship. These research questions can be answered effectively by using legal comparison methodology, including a systematic reconstruction of the discipline at the European level, since the General Data Protection Regulation allows the domestic legislator the specific regulation of data processing within the employ...

Pertanto, si aprono, di fatto, scenari nuovi e non più nettamente distinguibili tra gli spazi e i tempi tradizionali del lavoro e la vita personale extra-lavorativa. Con la conseguenza che la posizione di subordinazione, propria del lavoratore dipendente, si associa alla condizione abituale di debolezza in cui si trova il titolare dei dati interessati dal trattamento. Questa convergenza tra lo status di lavoratore dipendente e quello di data subject richiede un approccio multilivello. Da un lato, infatti, si pone la questione in merito alla tutela della privacy all’interno del rapporto di lavoro e, dall’altro, il tema fondamentale dei confini del rapporto di lavoro stesso, ossia dell’area contrattualmente esigibile, al fine di chiarire quale rilevanza può essere riconosciuta ai comportamenti apparentemente privati del lavoratore sulle sorti del contratto di lavoro. The communication opportunities offered by social networks tend to support the inclination to let everyone know everything, not infrequently with effects on the work activity. This opens up new scenarios that are no longer clearly distinct from the traditional spaces and times of work and personal life outside work. As a consequence, the position of subordination of the employee is accompanied by the usual condition of weakness of the data subject. This convergence between the status of the employee and that of the data subject requires a multi-level approach. On the one hand, there is the question regarding the protection of privacy within the employment relationship and, on the other hand, the fundamental issue of the boundaries of the employment relationship itself, i.e., the contractually enforceable area. These must be defined in order to clarify what relevance can be given to the apparently private behavior of the employee regarding the fate of the employment contract
