1. Background Location Tracking
Gemini Drivers collects location data to enable live vehicle transit tracking, driver route navigation, and delivery progress updates even when the app is closed or not in use.
As an enterprise vehicle movement and logistics application, continuous location tracking is required while transporting vehicles:
- Vehicle Movement Verification: Confirms vehicle pickup, in-transit route adherence, and safe arrival at customer delivery destinations.
- Driver Safety & Support: Enables fleet dispatchers to locate and assist drivers in case of roadside breakdown or route issues.
- Accurate Mileage: Automatically calculates transit distance for driver expense and fuel reimbursements.
- Screen-Off / Multi-tasking: Allows drivers to use navigation apps or lock their screens while vehicle transit tracking remains active.
Important: Location is only tracked during active accepted assignments. Location recording stops automatically when you complete or cancel a job. We never sell your location data or use it for advertising.
2. Camera & Photo Access
Gemini Drivers requests access to your device's camera and storage solely for:
- Vehicle Condition Appraisals: Photographing exterior body panels, tyres, interior cabin, fuel level, and dashboard odometer as proof of vehicle condition during pickup and delivery.
- Expense Receipts: Photographing fuel, toll, and transit receipts for expense claims.
The app only accesses photos you take directly through the app or explicitly select. We do not access, scan, or store your private photo gallery.
