4.10  Can my employer use GPS / Vehicle Tracking Systems? 

 

 

The use of  vehicle tracking systems involves the collection of personal data as they record the location of the individual in charge of a vehicle at any particular time.


An organisation using or considering using such a tracking system must be able to demonstrate that there is a good business reason for such surveillance.


The individuals affected must be informed of the surveillance and its purposes.


If personal (non-work-related) use of a vehicle is permitted, it should be possible to disable or mask the tracking system outside of working hours.
