Understanding GPS Asset Tagging: Hired Vehicles, Human Rights, and Data Protection Laws
Introduction:
In recent years, there's been a rising concern regarding the use of GPS tracking technology, primarily due to its perceived potential to infringe upon personal privacy and data protection rights. However, when appropriately used, such as putting a GPS asset tag on a hired vehicle, it does not contravene any human rights or data protection laws. This is because it does not collect any personal data, and the asset tag only reports in the location once a day. Let's delve deeper into the topic to gain a better understanding.
Understanding GPS Asset Tagging:
Global Positioning System (GPS) asset tagging is a technology used for tracking the location of movable assets like vehicles, equipment, or other valuable goods. This technology is crucial in logistics and fleet management where companies need to keep track of their assets' locations for operational efficiency and security reasons.
GPS asset tags merely record and transmit the geographic location of the device at a specified interval, in this case, once per day. They do not record conversations or personal activities, neither do they access or store personal data. Therefore, their purpose is strictly to track the asset's location and not to monitor personal behaviors or activities.
Human Rights and GPS Asset Tagging:
When discussing the potential impact of GPS asset tagging on human rights, it's critical to remember that these rights principally revolve around protecting individuals' privacy and personal data. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 12 ensures protection against arbitrary interference with privacy, family, home, or correspondence.
However, GPS asset tags used on hired vehicles do not interfere with the rights mentioned above. They don't collect, process, or store personal data such as names, addresses, phone numbers, or any information that could identify an individual. Instead, they merely provide information about the asset's location, which doesn't contravene any human rights.
Data Protection Laws and GPS Asset Tagging:
Data protection laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU, are designed to protect individuals' personal data and regulate its collection, processing, storage, and sharing. These laws require businesses to obtain explicit consent from individuals before collecting and using their personal data.
Again, it's essential to note that GPS asset tags on hired vehicles do not collect personal data. They only collect and transmit the location data of the vehicle, which is regarded as the company's asset and not personal data. Therefore, there is no need for personal data consent from the individual hiring the vehicle.
Moreover, companies using GPS asset tags usually have clear policies in their rental agreements that detail the use and purpose of GPS tracking. These policies articulate that the tracking is solely for asset protection and does not involve collecting personal data.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, GPS asset tagging on hired vehicles does not contravene any human rights or data protection laws as it does not involve any collection or processing of personal data. It merely provides a mechanism for companies to protect their assets and improve their operations. Nevertheless, it's critical for businesses to ensure transparency with their customers regarding the use of such technologies and maintain strict adherence to data protection norms, fostering trust and respect for individual rights.
