Safeguard your employees’ information

Avoid stiff penalties for data breaches by understanding what your responsibilities are when using a vehicle tracking system. In this guide, you’ll establish the questions you need to ask, such as:

  • Are you collecting data for a legitimate reason?
  • How is the data stored and protected?
  • How long are you keeping sensitive data?
  • Are you able to demonstrate your GDPR compliance?

JUSTIFICATION

Justify your reasons for collecting data by establishing your company’s legitimate interest or by gaining the consent of your drivers.
