How DriveGuardians collects, uses, stores, and protects fleet driving data, dashcam video, driver biometric information, and account data.
🔒 The short version: We collect driving and vehicle data to run the fleet safety program. We do not sell your data to insurers, advertisers, or data brokers. Video clips are private to your authorized fleet account. Driver biometric data is used only for driver identity matching and is never shared with any third party.
⚠️ The DriveGuardians AI dashcam uses facial recognition technology to identify drivers and link detected driving behaviors to individual driver profiles. This constitutes collection of biometric data under applicable state laws including the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act (CUBI), and similar laws in Colorado, Oregon, California, and Washington.
The driver-facing camera analyzes facial geometry to identify the driver and link AI-detected events (hard braking, distraction, drowsiness, phone use, lane departure) to that driver's individual safety profile within the fleet account. Facial geometry data is processed on secure servers and used solely for driver behavior matching and fleet safety analytics.
As the fleet operator, you are responsible for obtaining any required driver consents before activating the facial recognition features of the DriveGuardians program. This includes written consent requirements in Illinois (BIPA), consent requirements in Texas, Colorado, Oregon, California, and Washington, and any other jurisdiction where your vehicles operate. Biometric privacy laws are evolving — it is your responsibility to monitor applicable law in all jurisdictions where your fleet operates.
Biometric data is retained for the duration of the active program subscription and deleted within 60 days of subscription cancellation or program termination. Fleet operators may request earlier deletion at any time by contacting SafeDriving@DriveGuardians.com.
When you sign up we collect your name, company name, email address, phone number, billing address, and payment information. Payment card data is processed and stored by Stripe — we do not store card numbers on our servers.
We collect vehicle identification information, GPS location during trips, speed and acceleration data, trip history, and OBD-II vehicle diagnostics data where enabled.
AI-detected events including hard braking, hard acceleration, sharp cornering, lane departure, phone use, distraction, drowsiness, forward collision warnings, seatbelt status, and speed-over-limit events. Safety scores calculated from this data. Trip summaries and session-level metrics.
Short video clips (typically 20–60 seconds) captured by the dashcam when an AI event is detected. Clips include road-facing and driver-facing footage. Video is stored in encrypted cloud storage with access restricted to authorized account users.
Standard web analytics including page views, session duration, browser type, and referral source. We use Google Analytics 4. We do not use advertising trackers.
We do not use your fleet data for advertising, do not sell it to third parties, and do not share it with insurance companies without your explicit written consent.
Video clips are automatically deleted after 30 days by default. Extended retention (90 or 180 days) is available on the Safety Intelligence plan. Clips can be manually saved by authorized account users — saved clips are exempt from automatic deletion. Fleet managers can export clips for insurance, legal, or training purposes at any time during the retention window.
We do not share driving data, video footage, safety scores, or biometric data with any third party without your explicit written consent, except as required by law.
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account data at any time by contacting SafeDriving@DriveGuardians.com. Deletion requests are processed within 30 days. Biometric data deletion requests are processed within 30 days of receipt.
California residents have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA including the right to know what data is collected, the right to delete, the right to opt out of sale (we do not sell data), and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.
