Vehicle tracking - private vehicle usage
Data protection and the human rights acts
The Quartix System has two important features which help in respecting the requirements of this legislation for vehicles which are used for private, as well as business, journeys:
- Disabling of vehicle monitoring - by using the configuration screen (shown below) it is possible to disable the monitoring and storage of vehicle movement information for non-business hours. The system will report the mileage covered during this period, but not the locations visited.
- Access privileges - each user account can be set to provide access to just the information required to carry out that person's job. For example, service or support centre staff may need to know where all operatives are in Real-time in order to locate the nearest person for a job (please see GPRS live tracking section), but they would not need to have access to the driver's working hours or timesheets.
