This article presents a critical study on facial
biometrics and technologies for controlling
and monitoring workers and their productivity
within the scope of labor relations, from
the perspective of the control society and
surveillance capitalism, which constitute the
theoretical framework of the research. This
is a theoretical-doctrinal study that, based on
bibliographical, documentary and empirical
research, investigates means of monitoring
and surveillance used by the employer that
seek its basis in the directive power. As a
main result, with emphasis on the deductive
method, from the legal-sociological aspect, it
is possible to affirm that such technological
instruments violate the fundamental right
to privacy, considering the need for the full
exercise of individual freedom and protection,
which constitute on the main themes of the
Personal Data Protection Law.
