Your company may have a combination of company-owned phones and/or employee-owned phones. Whatever the scenario driver privacy can be a concern. Your company needs to decide how much, or how little, privacy your mobile policy will mandate. Here’s how LifeSaver can help if you opt to relax mobile monitoring in favor of Driver Privacy.
- Setting Active Days/Times for your fleet: If your policy supports it, you can opt to sleep the LifeSaver App after hours and on weekends. To set hours of operation for the app, follow the instructions here.
- Disabling location reporting: LifeSaver only tracks the start and the end location of each drive, along with the location of any usage violations recorded. LifeSaver does not track every location of the driver along a route, or when walking, etc. If location reporting is not desired at all due to privacy issues, you can fully disable all reporting of location information for your fleet. This means you will still have the benefits of LifeSaver locking and reporting of violations, just without the location information. We find this feature to be an exception for most fleets. If you’d like it enabled, please contact fleet support directly.
- Considering drivers' personal phones: Your mobile policy should factor in company phones, personal phones that are subsidized, along with personal phones the employee may pay for on their own. For the latter case it can be a difficult ask to require your employee to install LifeSaver on a personal phone you are not subsidizing. Even so by requiring LifeSaver on only corporate devices you are moving the needle by emphasizing the corporate policy to discourage distracted driving and employees will remember this. If drivers agree to installing LifeSaver on personal phones, or you mandate it, you can invite them to install LifeSaver on a personal device exactly as you would a corporate device.
