The DriveGuardians AI dashcam uses facial recognition to identify drivers and link detected driving behaviors to individual driver profiles. As the fleet operator, you acknowledge your obligations for driver consent across all jurisdictions where your fleet operates.
⚠️ Important: This acknowledgment covers your obligations as the fleet operator. You are separately responsible for obtaining individual driver consent before facial recognition activates in each vehicle. This page does not replace driver-level consent — it acknowledges your understanding of your obligations as the account holder.
The driver-facing camera identifies the driver's face and links AI-detected events — hard braking, distraction, drowsiness, phone use, lane departure, speeding — to that driver's individual safety profile within the fleet account. This enables driver-level scoring, targeted coaching, and accurate monthly safety reports per driver rather than per vehicle.
Facial geometry data is processed on secure servers and used only for driver behavior matching within your fleet account. It is never sold, shared with insurers, used for advertising, or disclosed to any third party.
If facial recognition is disabled for a specific driver or vehicle, the dashcam continues to monitor and record driving events — but events will reflect vehicle-level data rather than driver-specific scoring. You can disable facial recognition per vehicle by contacting SafeDriving@DriveGuardians.com.
You are responsible for ensuring drivers in each jurisdiction have provided the required consent before facial recognition activates in their vehicle.
Illinois-based drivers require written, informed consent before any facial geometry data may be collected. Illinois drivers have a private right of action and may recover $1,000–$5,000 per violation. You must obtain and retain signed written consent from each Illinois driver before activating facial recognition in their vehicle.
Drivers based in these states require explicit opt-in consent before facial recognition data is collected. You must obtain and retain consent documentation for each driver in these states.
California and Washington require consent before commercial biometric data collection. You must ensure drivers based in these states have consented to the program's use of facial recognition before activation.
Over 20 states have enacted or proposed biometric regulations. It is your responsibility as the fleet operator to monitor applicable law in all jurisdictions where your vehicles operate and ensure ongoing compliance as laws change.
⚠️ Illinois Fleet Operators — Additional BIPA Obligation
For Illinois-based drivers, you must obtain individual written BIPA consent from each driver before activating facial recognition in their vehicle. The checkbox below confirms you understand and accept this obligation. It does not replace the individual driver consent requirement.
By typing your name and checking all boxes, you provide your electronic signature under the E-SIGN Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001). Your IP address, timestamp, and company information will be recorded with this acknowledgment.
A confirmation will be emailed to the address on your DriveGuardians account.
Your biometric data acknowledgment has been recorded. Remember: you are still responsible for obtaining individual driver consent before activating facial recognition in each vehicle. A confirmation has been sent to your email.
