framework is also referred to as “profiling,” and is defined as the automated analysis or predicting of behavior, location, movements, reliability, interests, personal preferences, health, economic situation, performance, etc. It’s also important to note that Article 29 Working Party does provide other examples of monitoring including, but not limited to:

Online behavioral based advertising;

Travel data of individuals using a city’s public transport system (e.g. tracking via travel cards);

Profiling and scoring for purposes of risk assessment (e.g. for purposes of credit scoring, establishment of insurance premiums, fraud prevention, detection of money-laundering);

Location tracking, for example, by mobile apps; and

Monitoring of wellness, fitness and health data via wearable devices.

Article Working Party 29 suggests that organizations should consider all forms of behavior monitoring, including CCTV, smart cars, home automation, etc. With the wide scope of profiling behavior, organizations should evaluate their current online and offline operations to determine if they will be classified under the monitoring requirement. Organization should also consider “monitoring” in circumstances where they collect data on their employees inside and outside of the workplace, including BYODs, MDM solutions that track location and company owned vehicles with tracking devices. Clearly, given the wide net this regulation captures, information technology leaders and process owners of all organizations should prioritize assessing a formal conclusion on GDPR’s applicability, as the deadline is almost upon us. If you are unsure if your organization falls into scope of Article 3’s criteria, you should seek the advice from a privacy expert and your legal advisors.
