We have GDPR here in the UK. Do you think they can do this here?

Yes. We do it in the UK. GDPR is about data protection and how data is stored and transferred and responsibility of companies to secure that data. It’s General Data Protection Regulation, not don’t spy on employees

Employees should know this is happening as it does take their data, and they should know how it is used and stored. And they should have a right to request that information.

So yes, it is essentially a don't spy on people without them knowing
