Exam CIPP-US topic 1 question 76 discussion

In the United States, private-sector employees in general have “limited” expectations of privacy at the workplace. The physical facilities belong to the employer, and employers in the private sector thus generally have ‘BROAD LEGAL AUTHORITY’ to do monitoring and searches at work These employer rights are frequently ‘MORE LIMITED’ in Europe and other countries, where ‘employees often have a broader set of protections against monitoring under data protection, collective bargaining, and other employment laws’. Companies with employees both in the United States and abroad thus may need to develop different policies and IT systems that conform to the varying laws
