When you drive a company car, Viametry records it for your employer's logbook. Here is what is recorded, who sees it, and what you control.
What is recorded
When and how far the car drives, energy and charging, costs, and during work the route and the places where a trip starts and ends.
What you control
- Private mode (on the Overview, on cars your employer lets you use privately): while it is on, no location is stored: no route and no addresses, only distance, time, energy and cost. Others see "Private trip". Switch it off when you drive for work again; Viametry reminds you if it stays on for days.
- Mark a trip private afterwards: its route and places are deleted.
- Your home: save it in Settings, User profile (Your home). Drives that start or end within 200 m of it show to others as "Driver's home", without route or address. Nobody else ever sees your home's address. With your home you can save your home electricity price: charging there is priced with it (also for reimbursement), and others see such a charge as "Driver's home", with its cost but without the place.
Working hours
Your employer can set working hours. Outside them, on cars with private use, no location is stored either. In some countries this is always on.
In Austria, where there is no works council, you are asked whether you agree to the recording. Without your agreement, no location of your trips is stored, and you can change your answer at any time.
Who sees what
The account's owners and managers see the trips of the cars they manage, but not the details of private trips. Whether they see your speed depends on your employer's setting, and some countries do not allow it at all. The same goes for how much of a trip used Tesla's assisted driving (FSD), on cars where it is recorded. You always see everything about your own trips.
If your employer uses an AI assistant with Viametry, it sees only what the person who connected it may see in the app, never your private trips or your home.
How long
Routes and GPS points of cars driven by employees are deleted after 90 days, or sooner where your employer or your country's rules say so (60 days in France, 7 in Portugal). The trip record the tax logbook needs (date, distance, purpose, addresses of business trips) is kept for the legal period.
Your rights
You can ask your employer to see, correct or delete data about you, and you can complain to your data protection authority. For the data your employer records, your employer is responsible; Viametry processes it on their behalf.
