Always tell your team
Tracking people without their knowledge is illegal in most places. Staff must know the app is installed and running. We would rather lose a deal than be used that way.
How do you track field employees without them feeling spied on?
The short answer
Be open about it, track only during working time, and let each worker see everything that is recorded about them. With Hellotracks there is no hidden layer: tracking stops at the end of the shift, and you can give workers a switch to turn it off.

In more detail
Only during work
Hellotracks does not track people around the clock. Set working hours and tracking stops on its own at the end of a shift. Switch the toggle off, or set the status to not in service, and it stops right away.
Nothing hidden from the worker
Everything recorded about a worker is visible to that worker. You can also limit workers so they only see their own location.
Limit who sees what
Administrators see everything. Operators run the day but cannot change settings or see billing, and can be limited to one team or region.
To be honest
Why this matters for you, too
A team that feels watched finds ways around the app. A team that knows the rules and sees its own data keeps using it, and that is the only way the data is worth anything.
People also ask
Does Hellotracks track people 24/7?
No. Only during working hours and only when tracking is on.
Is the GPS running all the time?
No. GPS is not used while the phone is not moving. It is there to detect movement and routes.
Can we limit where tracking is recorded at all?
Yes. Define zones and tracking is only recorded inside them. This helps where you have a works agreement or a privacy commitment to your staff.
Is Hellotracks GDPR compliant?
Yes. Hellotracks serves customers across the European Union, and tracking can be limited to working hours.
