You might be overthinking this - anyone who's in the office can already know who else is in there and for how long, so I don't believe making that information available digitally actually reveals any more data - if someone wanted to keep tabs on people they could just as well do it with the old system by coming into the office and looking around.

Hmm. It's like the difference between that and CCTV. I'm fine with other people seeing me, I don't want to have cameras watching me 24/7.

If CCTV inside a business's premises are okay, you're going to have a hard time arguing that any other surveillance is unlawful.

They're not storing or sharing anything personal about you that you haven't already granted them permission to store (if you have a work badge with your photo on, you already consented to them storing a likeness of your image for identification purposes).

As much as I empathise with you on your stance against RTO, there's nothing here to fight.
