Consideration 9
Extract:
The Tribunal finds the claim that information was illegally collected from the complainant’s electronic devices to be unfounded. The electronic devices, which were inspected, were her work computer and the work scanner for her department. These devices are the property of the OPCW and the complainant had to acknowledge a disclaimer prior to logging in to her work computer.
