In a statement released Tuesday, the regulator said the company must also cease processing data collected through four video-surveillance cameras installed near bathrooms and in break areas at the facility, located north-east of Rome.
Sensitive Information Improperly Accessed
According to the authority, the information — which was accessible to numerous managers — included details about workers’ medical conditions, participation in strikes, union activities, and sensitive information about their families.
The regulator said such data processing violates rules prohibiting employers from handling personal information that is not strictly relevant to evaluating professional competence.
The ban applies to data collected during employees’ time at the company and retained for up to 10 years after they left, the authority added.
Ongoing Investigation
The watchdog disclosed that inspections were conducted at the Passo Corese site between February 9 and 12, and that investigations are continuing to determine whether additional violations occurred.
Amazon did not immediately comment on the decision.
The case underscores growing regulatory scrutiny in Europe over workplace surveillance practices and the handling of sensitive employee data, particularly within large logistics and e-commerce operations.
