GPS Tracking Laws By State in 2025

GPS tracking laws by state can vary. Most states have a law around GPS tracking in 2025, while others – surprisingly – don’t.

On a federal level, which means countrywide, fleet companies are legally entitled to track their own vehicles. As GPS tracking is a relatively recent technological development, the legal precedent on the federal level comes from the case of Elgin vs The St. Louis Coca-Cola Bottling Company. This case allows for companies to track their own vehicles.

Another federal law associated with vehicle tracking is the ELD Mandate, which requires commercial truck drivers to log their hours on an ELD, which stands for electronic logging device. In some cases though, fleets can obtain an ELD exemption.

Fleet owners and operators need to be keenly aware of GPS tracking laws by state so they are compliant at all times. Failure to do so can result in unnecessary fines and legal action that hurt your business’s profit and overall reputation. In this article, we are going to go state by state and show exactly what GPS tracking laws, if any, exist.

GPS Tracking Laws by Each State 2025

At a federal level GPS tracking of your own vehicle is legal. The being said, various states have various vehicle tracking laws you should be aware of. We’ve researched every US state to find out the most up to date information on their GPS tracking laws so you can keep your fleet compliant. We found that most states don’t have GPS tracking-specific laws. Instead, anything GPS related falls under surveillance related statues.

Alabama

✅ Legal for company vehicles, but only in public spaces

Under its surveillance laws, specifically Alabama code 13A-11-32, it’s illegal to conduct surveillance when trespassing in private places. Section 13A-11-30 defines a private place as inaccessible to the public.

In mid-2023, Alabama introduced stricter legislation to criminalize improper location monitoring. The newly added Section 13A-6-96 states that it is a second-degree offence to place any electronic tracking device on the property of another person “without the consent of the owner or except as otherwise authorized by law”. Section 13A-6-95 raises this to a first-degree offence when a device is placed “with the intent to surveil, stalk, or harass, or for any other unlawful purpose”.

However, these new laws don’t prohibit tracking if the vehicles are business property used by staff, meaning business owners can track company vehicles, provided they aren’t tracking on private property.

Alaska

✅ Legal but requires driver consent with safety assured

Alaska’s anti-stalking laws make it illegal to install a device to monitor a person in their home, vehicle, or workplace without consent. It’s also illegal to track the location of a person if it can lead the individual to fear death or physical injury.

Covered under Alaska code 13-2923 and statute 11.41.270, this all means it’s second-degree stalking if you don’t have consenting drivers and/or they fear for their safety because of the location monitoring.

Arizona

✅ Legal but requires driver consent

Arizona code 13-2923 makes it illegal to use a GPS device to continuously surveil a person for over 12 hours, or on two or more occasions without authorization. In other words, you’ll need to get consent from your drivers right away to avoid breaking the law, even if the vehicle is your own, since this monitoring of the vehicle could be considered monitoring of the person under these regulations, although you’ll have a short window if you forget initially.

Arkansas

✅ Legal (but we suggest getting driver consent)

Arkansas doesn’t have any criminal or civil laws that explicitly prevent the act of placing a GPS device on another’s vehicle. Arkansas code 22-8-105 does say that state-owned vehicles may be equipped with tracking devices and monitored, although there are no laws detailing whether private or business vehicles can also be equipped with such devices. There are precedents of GPS tracking being deemed permissible by Arkansas courts, including alleged offences committed by Alma City’s Mayor Jerry Martin in 2020.

Separately, Arkansas has a third-degree stalking statute (code 5-71-229), although they aren’t particularly strong. It states the actor in question must “knowingly commit an act that would place a reasonable person in the victim’s position under emotional distress and in fear for his or her safety or a third person’s safety” for it to be a crime. There must also be a pattern of “two (2) or more acts, separated by at least thirty-six (36) hours, but occurring within one (1) year”. This leaves “emotional distress” and “fear” open to interpretation, while also confusing the legalities around digital GPS tracking, given that it is typically a continuous activity.

In any case, while GPS Tracking may be legal in Arkansas, we still suggest you get permission from your employees to avoid any ill feelings.

California

✅ Legal during work-hours with driver consent

California has stricter GPS tracking laws than most other states. California Penal Code section 637.7 makes it illegal to monitor somebody’s movement without their consent.

Technically, it appears company-owned vehicles can be monitored without an employee’s consent, as long as the owner of the vehicle (the company) consents, since there is an exception on this basis to this law. The same is true if you lease the vehicle, or if you are using GPS devices lawfully for law enforcement.

However, in addition to the penal code, civil tort rights around invasions of privacy mean that employees may file claims for intrusion into their private affairs (for acts such as GPS tracking). In other words, employers should strictly avoid tracking outside of non-work hours or work-related activities in California.

Similarly, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) means employers must disclose any GPS tracking practices explicitly to employees, since the collected data falls under the CCPA’s definition of “personal information”. All employees have the right to access, request deletion, or obtain copies of their data, and said data must be stored securely.

Colorado

✅ Legal but must not cause driver emotional distress

Colorado enforces Vonnie’s Law, which prevents tracking a person using GPS in a way that would cause them emotional distress. It’s named after Vonnie Flores, who was murdered by an obsessive stalker in 2010, and has the official code Colorado C.R.S. 18-3-602.

As such, we suggest you get consent from your employees and create an environment where they can voice their concerns at that point, or at any stage in the future, to help mitigate instances of emotional distress.

Connecticut

✅ Legal but requires driver consent

Connecticut’s GPS tracking legislation falls under its Public Act 21-56, which covers online harassment. This means it’s illegal to use GPS tracking to cause someone to fear for their safety.

There’s also the Connecticut Electronic Monitoring Act, which, with certain exceptions, requires transparency of any monitoring between employer and employee. However, this act defines electronic monitoring as “the collection of information on an employer’s premises”, meaning that off-site GPS tracking of a company’s own vehicles without permission would technically not be prohibited by this act.

Still, to avoid any issues with coverage, we suggest employers inform employees in writing of any electronic monitoring.

Delaware

✅ Legal (but we suggest getting driver consent)

Under Delaware’s criminal code Title 11, Chapter 5, it’s illegal to knowingly install a vehicle tracker without the owner/lessor or lessee’s consent. Law enforcement officials are exempt, as are legal guardians monitoring a child.

This suggests that a business doesn’t explicitly require the consent of the employee driving the vehicle to track their vehicle, provided the business owns or is the lease-holder of the vehicles.

However, given Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act (DPDPA) states that businesses must provide clear and understandable disclosures about their data collection and sharing practices, we suggest that employers get consent from employees before engaging in GPS tracking.

Florida

✅ Legal (but we suggest getting driver consent)

Florida’s GPS tracking legislation falls under Florida Title 934.425, which makes it illegal to track individuals without their consent. There are a few exceptions, such as law enforcement, tracking a minor or elderly relative you are responsible for, or placing a GPS device on your own property, like a company vehicle. That means you can use GPS tracking in business contexts and business vehicles.

To stay on the right side of Florida’s Digital Bill of Rights enacted in 2024, however, we suggest clearly informing employees about surveillance practices, keeping any tracking to business purposes (on business vehicles), and obtaining written consent.

Georgia

✅ Legal (but we suggest getting driver consent)

Georgia has no GPS tracking legislation at present, meaning there is nothing outlawing the placement of tracking devices on employees’ cars.

However, general privacy and anti-stalking laws apply. For instance, under Georgia law, a person who “places under surveillance” another person without their consent may be guilty of stalking. Accordingly, it is best practice to obtain consent before implementing any GPS tracking in the workplace.

Hawaii

✅ Legal but requires driver consent

In Hawaii, H.R.S 803-41 and H.R.S. 803-42 both prevent intentional tracking of a person without their consent, with the exception of search warrants. That means businesses must always get consent to implement GPS tracking on worker vehicles.

Idaho

✅ Legal (but we suggest getting driver consent)

Idaho Code 18-6702 makes it illegal to track, intercept, and disclose wire, electronic, or oral communications. However, the law doesn’t specifically mention GPS tracking or other location tracking technology, so there’s no specific consent or restrictions detailed. Similarly, the law allows you to track those communications if they’re business-related, which suggests this may be a legal avenue for businesses.

Still, we think it’s best practice to ask for a driver’s consent, especially given Idaho’s anti-stalking laws (code 18-7905), which detail that any “conduct that alarms, annoys, or harasses someone, potentially causing fear for their safety” will be considered an offence. GPS tracking could be considered such an activity under certain circumstances.

Illinois

✅ Legal for company vehicles

Illinois statute 720 ILCS 65/12-7.3 says GPS tracking is prohibited in most circumstances, unless it’s your own property. Therefore, it is legal for company-owned vehicles to be tracked without employee consent, as since your company is the owner/lessee of the vehicles, you can give consent for this to happen. If a vehicle is an employee’s own, this requires consent.

It is illegal to track an individual’s location without consent under 720 ILCS 5/21-2.5, so you can’t use mobile phone tracking or personal GPS devices; it must only be your vehicle assets.

Indiana

✅ Legal but requires written consent

Indiana didn’t have specific vehicle tracking legislation until 2023, when Senate Bill 83 was passed. Now, since 2024, under Indiana Code 35-46-8.5-1, it’s illegal to track someone or their property with a GPS device without their written consent.

Iowa

✅ Legal for company vehicles (but we suggest getting driver consent)

Iowa Code 708.11A makes it illegal to put a GPS tracker on another person or their property without a legitimate purpose or consent. However, state law does consider conducting business as a legitimate reason to use GPS tracking, therefore allowing it.

Still, this code also details how it could be considered a stalking offence if a reasonable person would feel frightened, intimidated, or threatened by such purposeful tracking. Accordingly, we suggest informing your workers as good practice, even if the law appears relatively lenient.

Kansas

✅ Legal for company vehicles (but we suggest getting driver consent)

Kansas Statute 21-5427 details that electronic devices used to locate someone are viewed as a stalking offence. However, business owners are allowed to use GPS tracking as this is generally considered a legitimate purpose (provided you only track vehicles during working hours).

However, like other states on this list, if there is reasonable fear of intimidation held because of any unconsenting tracking, then this would be illegal under Kansas anti-stalking laws. Because of this, we would always recommend getting consent from drivers, even if, legally, you can use GPS tracking devices to monitor employees’ locations and movements during working hours.

Kentucky

✅ Legal for company vehicles (but we suggest getting driver consent)

Kentucky Statute 508.152 prevents unlawful tracking of a vehicle without the owner or lessee’s permission, including both installation and use. Exceptions are law enforcement or legal guardians tracking a minor.

However, there are no specific laws about GPS tracking of employees using mobile devices or company-owned vehicles. In theory, then, you can legally track without driver consent, but if the tracking behaviour could be considered threatening, then it may fall foul of Kentucky’s anti-stalking legislation. We’d suggest getting consent from your drivers to protect against any possible claims.

Louisiana

✅ Legal but requires driver consent

Louisiana law R.S. 14:323 prohibits using a tracker to determine a person’s location or movement without consent. As such, you’ll need explicit consent from those being tracked for the practice to be legal.

Maine

✅ Legal but must not cause driver emotional distress

Maine criminal code 17-A M.R.S., 210-A prevents activities related to stalking. This includes acts or devices that directly or indirectly follow, monitor, track, observe, surveil, threaten, or harass another person. If these actions cause someone to suffer from emotional distress, tracking could be considered prohibitive.

Since there are no explicit laws against GPS tracking employees, you can introduce GPS tracking then, so long as you don’t cause emotional distress (defined by Maine law as mental or emotional suffering, evidenced by fear, anxiety, torment, or apprehension). We’d suggest getting written consent to avoid any problems.

Maryland

✅ Legal but requires driver consent

In Maryland, code 3-802 makes it illegal to track a person’s location without their consent. Under the legislation, tracking without consent is considered illegal criminal stalking, punishable by fines of $5,000, five years in jail, or both at once.

Massachusetts

✅ Legal but must not cause driver emotional distress

Massachusetts law ALM GL. 265-43A makes it illegal to use trackers to stalk and cause distress to a reasonable person. This can be punishable with a $1,000 fine and more than five years in prison.

Interestingly, in 2019, the Massachusetts Supreme Court issued an opinion that said law enforcement cannot use GPS trackers without a warrant. There is also a bill on the table in the General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that would make it illegal to track vehicles without the owner’s consent (Bill H.1572), but at the time of writing, it is just a proposal.

Michigan

✅ Legal for company vehicles (but we suggest getting driver consent)

In Michigan, statute MCLS 750.5392l prevents a person from placing trackers on a vehicle without the owner’s or lessee’s knowledge and consent. The punishment is one year’s imprisonment, a $1,000 fine, or both.

Consequently, business owners can put trackers on company vehicles, even if they are used by employees, and don’t need employee consent. Still, we always recommend telling your drivers for transparency purposes, and if the vehicle isn’t company-owned, you will need permission.

Minnesota

✅ Legal but requires driver consent or court order

Minnesota statute 626A.35 prohibits tracking the movement of another person without a court order or the person’s consent, for both devices and vehicles alike. The punishment is a $3,000 fine or 364 days in prison.

Mississippi

✅ Legal but must not cause driver emotional distress

Although there are no explicit laws prohibiting you from attaching a GPS tracking device to a vehicle in Mississippi, you could consider GPS tracking to fall under the state’s stalking law 97-3-107. It’s illegal to track someone with an electronic tracking device with the intention of stalking them, and who knows what this would cause a reasonable person to fear. The punishment is a $1,000 fine or a year in prison.

Still, it is generally permissible to use GPS tracking for business reasons. As always, we recommend you seek out permission from the driver in question to avoid any possibility of complications.

Missouri

✅ Legal for company vehicles (but we suggest getting driver consent)

It is an offense to install an electronic tracking device on a vehicle without the vehicle owner’s consent. This is covered by Missouri law 455.095. The exception is if the person is legally indigent, meaning they can’t look after themselves. An example would be a child or an elderly person.

Accordingly, a business can install GPS tracking on company-owned vehicles without requiring employee consent, provided it is used for business purposes (but you could still inform employees and ask for consent for transparency purposes).

Montana

✅ Legal for company vehicles (but we suggest getting driver consent)

Under its House Bill 603, Montana is one of the few states (and the first) that requires law enforcement to obtain a probable cause warrant before tracking a person’s location.

For businesses, though, there’s no specific legislation that would prevent tracking of company-owned vehicles (although you would need express consent for an employee’s own vehicle to be tracked). As always, we recommend informing and getting consent from employees to keep a good relationship between all parties involved.

Nebraska

✅ Legal (but we suggest getting driver consent)

In Nebraska, the only reference to GPS tracking in its laws is 86-2,103, which states that district courts may issue a warrant to install a tracking device.

Therefore, there are no state laws prohibiting GPS tracking by private individuals or businesses, although businesses should restrict use to business purposes, or it could constitute stalking or harassment.

Nevada

✅ Legal but requires driver consent

In May 2023, AB356 passed in the Nevada Senate, making it illegal to electronically track a person without their consent. Previous to this, it was legal to place an electronic tracker on a vehicle without consent. This applies to company-owned vehicles too, unlike other states.

New Hampshire

✅ Legal but requires driver consent

New Hampshire’s statute 644-A:4  prevents a person from placing an electronic tracker without their consent. This statute came into law in 2015. Additionally, government bodies need court-issued warrants to perform GPS tracking on any citizens.

New Jersey

✅ Legal but requires driver consent

In 2022, New Jersey signed into law statute 34:6B-22, which prevents employers from electronically tracking employees without permission. The law applies to both company-owned and employee vehicles. The punishment for violating this statute is a fine of $1,000 for the first violation and $2,500 for the second violation.

New Mexico

✅ Legal but requires driver consent

In New Mexico, there aren’t laws against GPS tracking directly. However, GPS tracking could fall under its anti-stalking law, 30-3A-3, which prevents the use of any device to follow, monitor, or surveil a specific individual as part of a pattern of conduct that threatens death, bodily harm, sexual assault, confinement, or restraint.

New York

✅ Legal with restrictions

Employers are permitted to track company vehicles, provided employees are notified and tracking occurs during working hours only.

If you are a private individual, then placing a GPS tracker on another person’s vehicle without consent is considered fourth-degree stalking (New York Penal Law § 120.45), a misdemeanor offense.

This could apply to your business tracking if it goes over the restrictions listed above, or if the actions are likely to cause the person to fear physical harm to themselves, their family or their property, harm to that person’s mental health, or perhaps most pertinently, fear for their job or career.

Elsewhere, law enforcement must obtain a warrant based on probable cause before using GPS tracking devices (although, in limited, exigent circumstances, tracking may occur without a warrant).​

North Carolina

✅ Legal for company vehicles (but we suggest getting driver consent)

Under 14-196.3, it is illegal to knowingly track a person’s location without their consent. However, businesses can still install GPS devices in company-owned fleet vehicles, as this is an exception to the rule. These laws seem somewhat at odds, so we’d suggest always obtaining consent from drivers to avoid any potential legal issues.

North Dakota

✅ Legal but must not cause driver emotional distress

North Dakota has a stalking law, code 12.1-17-07.1, that prevents a person from using a GPS or other tracking device that would cause someone to feel intimidated or harassed with no legitimate purpose. As such, businesses should be able to implement GPS tracking without fear of falling foul of these regulations, provided tracking only occurs during business hours and doesn’t overstretch into employees’ personal, non-work lives.

Ohio

✅ Legal but must not cause driver emotional distress

Ohio section 2903.211, the state’s menacing by stalking law, addresses conduct that leads someone to fear they’ll be harmed, including by electronic means. However, it’s not explicitly clear if this includes GPS tracking devices.

Oklahoma

✅ Legal but requires driver consent

In Oklahoma, its statutes Title 21-1173, which covered stalking and harassment, were amended in 2018. This amendment made it illegal to track a person with GPS without their consent, as this would be considered stalking (although there are exceptions for law enforcement and motor carriers). This applies to both company-owned and personal vehicles, since it is about tracking the person in whatever way that can be achieved.

Oregon

✅ Legal for company vehicles (but we suggest getting driver consent)

Oregon statute 163.715 states that it is illegal to affix a GPS device to a vehicle without the owner’s consent. For business owners who own or lease vehicles, this means they can install and track employees in company vehicles (but it’s worth explaining this to your drivers so that everyone is aware of what is being tracked and why).

Pennsylvania

✅ Legal for company vehicles (but we suggest getting driver consent)

Pennsylvania’s Title 18 Subchapter D, makes it illegal to place a mobile tracking device on a vehicle without the owner’s consent. Again, this means companies that own or lease their vehicles for employee use can install and track employee vehicles. Separately, law enforcement must get a court order before tracking vehicles or people with electronic devices.

Rhode Island

✅ Legal but requires all vehicle occupants’ consent

Rhode Island’s Gen. Laws. 11-69-1, makes it illegal to knowingly install, conceal, or otherwise place or use an electronic tracking device in or on a motor vehicle without the consent of the operator and all occupants of the vehicle for monitoring or following the operator, occupant, or occupants of the vehicle. Reasonable exceptions apply for law enforcement tracking stolen goods, parents tracking minor children, vehicle theft recovery devices, and other specific uses by car dealers, manufacturers, and insurance companies.

South Carolina

✅ Legal but requires driver consent

Under South Carolina Bill 3213, introduced in 2019, it’s unlawful for individuals or law enforcement to use a GPS tracking device without the consent of the employee being tracked.

South Dakota

✅ Legal (but we suggest getting driver consent)

South Dakota Codified Laws 23A-35-4.3 states that you need a warrant issued by a magistrate to use a GPS tracking device. In the legislation, this refers to law enforcement.

As such, South Dakota doesn’t have specific laws on GPS tracking devices around business or private persons.

Tennessee

✅ Legal (but we suggest getting driver consent)

Tennessee Code Ann. 39-13-606 makes it illegal for a person to attach an electronic tracking device to a vehicle without all of the owners’ consent. It is also illegal for a lessee to attach a GPS tracking device to a rented vehicle. In other words, you can install and track employees in company vehicles without additional consent required (though for any personal vehicles, you would need explicit consent).

Texas

✅ Legal (but we suggest getting driver consent)

In Texas, Penal Code 16.06 makes it unlawful for any individual to place an electronic tracking device in a vehicle. The exception is if there’s consent from the owner or lessee, or as part of a criminal investigation. Therefore, Texas-based businesses can legally install and track employees without consent (though, as always, we suggest you are open and honest about any tracking with employees).

Utah

✅ Legal (but we suggest getting driver consent)

Utah Code 76-9-408 makes it illegal to install a tracker on a vehicle owned or leased by another person without permission. Law enforcement with a court order, licensed private investigators, and legal guardians of a child or elder are allowed to use electronic tracking without consent. Consequently, business owners can track vehicles and other company assets used by employees without their explicit consent.

Vermont

✅ Legal but must not cause driver emotional distress

Vermont’s anti-stalking law prohibits monitoring or tracking an individual if they are causing harm or fear to the employee being tracked. If this isn’t the case, and the person is not in fear, then GPS trackers can be used. In our view, it’s worth asking employees for consent and explaining tracking processes to alleviate any potential fears, even if this is not legally required.

Separately, the state’s Electronic Communication Privacy Act 8101 means that any data collected by GPS requires a warrant to be accessed by law enforcement.

Virginia

✅ Legal but requires driver consent

Per Virginia Code 18.2-60.5, it’s unlawful to use a tracker through deceptive means to track people without consent. There are reasonable exceptions for family members (e.g. parents tracking children) and law enforcement (who must get a warrant before using GPS data to collect evidence).

Washington

✅ Legal but must not cause driver emotional distress

In Washington state, RCW 9A.90.130 prohibits using an electronic location tracker if doing so would cause reasonable fear to the individual in question. Therefore, we suggest talking to employees about any GPS tracking tools that are being used to help avoid this.

West Virginia

✅ Legal but requires driver consent

West Virginia Code 61-3-50 states that it is illegal to use GPS devices to discover another person’s whereabouts without consent. Naturally, this includes employers tracking their employees, even if the vehicle is company-owned. The first offense counts as a misdemeanor, while the second offense is an automatic felony.

Wisconsin

✅ Legal for company vehicles (but we suggest getting driver consent)

Wisconsin Statute 940.315 makes it a misdemeanor to place GPS trackers on vehicles owned or leased by another person. It’s also illegal to intentionally obtain information on a person’s movements or location generated by a GPS placed without the owner’s consent. As such, this allows businesses to track their assets without any legal issues and requirements for an employee’s consent, though it’s always worth asking them this for transparency purposes.

Wyoming

✅ Legal but must not cause driver emotional distress

As part of Wyoming Stat. 6-2-506 anti-stalking laws, it’s illegal to use electronic, digital, or GPS devices to surveil someone without authorization if these actions would cause a reasonable person emotional distress. There are no other more specific GPS tracking laws to account for in Wyoming.

GPS Tracking Legality: Considerations for Your Company

Here are a few things your company has to consider to ensure you’re protected if you use GPS tracking on your fleet.

Where You Operate

The first thing to consider is the state(s) where you operate. Rules and regulations vary widely, as some states have few to no rules about tracking employees, while others have strict guidelines in place. Read up on your state’s laws in detail before implementing a GPS tracking policy so you operate within the rules.

Who Owns the Vehicles You Use

If you own your vehicles, you’re allowed to track them as you see fit. However, if your employees use their own vehicles (or you don’t own your fleet) it’s not as straightforward, and you’ll generally need to get consent to track them.

Also, if employees use vehicles you don’t own, be careful not to track them outside of working hours, as this could be an invasion of privacy.

The Type of Tracker You Use

You’ll normally use either a vehicle-mounted tracker or an app to track your fleet. If you mount a tracker on a vehicle you own, you can use GPS tracking at your own discretion. However, if you want to use a tracking app installed on an employee’s personal phone, you’ll need their consent.

Make sure you’re not tracking workers’ personal devices outside of business hours to maintain their right to privacy.

Create a Detailed GPS Tracking Policy

It’s wise to have a detailed GPS tracking policy in place. This is a set of rules or guidelines that tells your employees what you’re tracking, how you’re tracking it, and more.

You should consider working with a lawyer to create the policy to ensure it’s compliant with state regulations. Be sure to update the policy often, as the rules and laws surrounding tracking and privacy rights are always changing.

Creating a Company GPS Tracking Policy

A GPS tracking policy is an important part of being transparent with your team and making sure you’re compliant with state laws. Here are a few things it should cover.

Explain the Reason for GPS Tracking

The policy needs to make it clear why you’re using GPS tracking and the benefits it provides. These could include improving fuel efficiency, preventing theft, monitoring driving behavior, and optimizing routes.

Mention the Type of Tracker Being Used and How It Works

The policy should outline whether you’re adding a tracker to the vehicle itself or if you need employees to download an app. Include any specific steps your team has to take to facilitate proper tracking, such as keeping their devices in the vehicle or turning off/on the tracker.
Make sure to explain how you’ll protect their personal privacy if the tracker is installed on a device they use in their personal time, like their phone.

Specify the Data Being Tracked and How It’s Used

Your GPS tracking policy must be specific about the data you’re tracking. This could include location-related data, driving speed, mileage, and anything else you want to monitor. Make sure to identify how the data gets used, whether for evaluating worker performance, identifying ways to reduce costs, or increasing productivity.

How the Data Is Protected and How Long It’s Kept For

Your policy must include your plan for protecting the data you gather, such as restricting access to the data to authorized staff members. Also, mention how long you’re going to keep the data.

Get the Proper Consent

The policy should also ask for employees’ consent. This is required by law in some cases, but even if not, asking for consent builds trust within your organization and ensures you’re being as transparent as possible.
