Do privacy rulings block off-hours worker tracking, citing the gig law or GDPR?

Research question: How have national data-protection authorities or courts interpreted the Platform Work Directive's ban on collecting worker data outside working time, and do those rulings cite the directive or rely on GDPR provisions instead?

The records show that national authorities responsible for data protection supervise the directive's algorithmic management rules where data-protection matters are concerned ¹. The directive is described as supplementing the GDPR, with Article 7 extending the GDPR and the AI Regulation ⁴. The provided facts contain no national authority decision or court ruling on collecting worker data outside working time, so they cannot show whether such rulings cite the directive or rely on the GDPR ¹⁴. The newest dated source is from 2024-10-23, and the 2 December 2026 transposition deadline is still ahead of the current date of October 2026 ²⁵.
