Requiring employers to provide written notice to employees, customers, and consumers about the information being collected, how it will be used, and when/where the monitoring will occur. 4. Allowing employers to conduct "special electronic monitoring" without notice in certain cases of suspected misconduct that could cause economic harm. 5. Granting employees the right to review and obtain copies of personal data collected through electronic monitoring. 6. Prohibiting the use of electronically monitored data as the sole basis for employee evaluations or production quotas. 7. Limiting disclosure of employee personal data collected through monitoring. 8. Establishing enforcement mechanisms, including fines and a private right of action for employees whose rights are violated.
