Privacy Button.
The hardware answer to take-home vehicle policies and driver privacy commitments.
Driver trust on personal time, accountability on company time.
The Privacy Button is a Vehicle Gateway accessory that gives drivers a clear, physical way to turn location tracking off when they're using a vehicle for personal activities. Tracking resumes automatically when a trip ends or the engine shuts off, and managers can report on how much time the button was enabled without seeing where the vehicle went. Vidmatics installs it where drivers can reach it and helps you set the policy that goes with it.
