Supporting a Driver’s Privacy while Driving for Work Purposes
eDriving’s mission is to partner with organizations globally to protect people who drive for work purposes in corporate and personally owned vehicles. To fulfill our mission, some access to personal information is required, where appropriate and permitted by law, and only as needed and approved by the client – the Data Controller/Owner of the Safety Program.

Let’s clarify some key protections built into EVERY eDriving Driver safety program worldwide.
Q: Does eDriving gather or collect any information about a Driver without their consent?
A: No. eDriving ONLY collects or gathers information on a Driver once they give permission as an employee of a client company. eDriving clients are the Data Controllers/Owners of the eDriving Program. The eDriving privacy notices that every driver acknowledges, make clear what data is collected, how it is used, where it is stored and secured, and who has access to it.
Q: What Personal Information does eDriving disclose and to whom?
A: None without permission. Under no circumstances will any information gathered from client employees as part of their Driver Safety Program be SHARED or SOLD to any third-party including Insurance Companies and Brokers, Credit Rating Agencies, Federal or State Authorities or Courts or other vendors/partners without the written permission of the client (Data Controller/Owner of the Safety Program) AND the Employee/Driver associated with it.
Q: Is eDriving monitoring and reporting on driver location as part of the driver safety program mission objectives?
A: No. eDriving does not monitor driver location – period. Clients looking for a driver/vehicle monitoring or tracking solution are invited to engage with other vendors specifically set up to provide that service – eDriving does not. Your organization cannot access your individual trip or location data through the Management Information portal – they only have access to a ‘dashboard’ showing the 7-day rolling FICO® Safe Driving Score and total number of events associated with each behavior – acceleration, braking, cornering, speeding and distraction.
Q: Does Mentor access personal contents on a Driver’s smartphone?
A: No. Mentor does not access any user contents, such as camera, pictures, contacts, documents, etc. without specific permission. It only accesses raw sensor data, such as GPS and accelerometer during a trip to support the creation of the FICO® Safe Driving Score. If your organization uses Driver Event Reporting or vehicle inspections, Mentor will ask for specific permission to access the camera to allow you to upload a photo.
