Are you always being tracked with a mileage tracker?

How do mileage trackers work?

Mileage trackers are devices or applications designed to monitor and record the distance travelled by a vehicle over time. They typically use GPS technology to pinpoint the vehicle's location and calculate the mileage based on its movements.

This data is logged and can be accessed in real-time or through reports generated at specified intervals.

What are the privacy implications of vehicle tracking?

While these trackers are primarily used for expense reporting, tax deductions, and improving fuel efficiency, many people wonder about their implications regarding privacy. Most modern mileage trackers operate under the principle of transparency. Allowing users to control the data collected and when it’s shared.

In essence, if you have a mileage tracker installed in your vehicle, it is indeed capable of tracking your movements. But it is not necessarily always 'monitoring' in the invasive sense. Users typically have the option to turn off tracking features, ensuring they have control over their privacy while still benefiting from the convenience of mileage tracking when needed.
