Who has the right to know where I am?
![Introduction](/img/i_point_en.gif)
An employee's main task is to make deliveries with a service vehicle.
![Trigger](/img/d_point_en.gif)
The employer installed a GPS system in the service vehicle and then recovered the data from the system.
![Incident](/img/p_point_en.gif)
The employee realised that the employer could keep track and control his movements (breaks, etc.). He found this quite unfair.
![Resolution](/img/r_point_en.gif)
The employee can ask the employer the reasons for the use of a GPS system. He must be informed by the employer before the implementation of the system.
![Conclusion](/img/c_point_en.gif)
The employer must justify his decision and explain what data will be collected in order to use such a system. He has no right to use the data for any other reasons. We can monitor the service provided by the worker; however it is illegal to monitor his behaviour.
