The French data protection watchdog fined Amazon.com Inc. €32 million ($34.9 million) for setting up a system to monitor employee activity and performance that it called “excessively intrusive.”
The authority is targeting scanners that track employee activity and performance, CNIL said in a statement on Tuesday.
