What Is Tracking and Monitoring Law?
Tracking and monitoring law is related to the rights of individuals and often addressed through state legislation. Tracking law looks at when and how individuals can be tracked through GPS devices and location services. Employers have the right to track company vehicles through GPS devices but cannot track an employee’s vehicle in many states without employee consent. (A written policy on tracking and monitoring may be required, with the policies stating a business purpose for the activities.) Tracking apps on mobile phones can continue to broadcast an employee’s location even after work hours. That is why companies must ensure they are satisfying employees’ expectations of privacy.
Law Glossary
A privacy audit, also known as a privacy compliance audit, is an assessment tool that looks at an organization’s privacy protection policies and procedures, specifically in light of current relevant laws or regulatory requirements. The audits may be conducted by private organizations or by government agencies that are verifying a company’s regulatory compliance. In terms of privacy audit law, the FTC can conduct audits of organizations and take action when a company is improperly securing private information. Action is taken under the FTC Act, which covers unfair trade practices. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act audits are also conducted to ensure that providers are following HIPAA law and protecting private health information.
