If you turn off location sharing in one or more of your Business Units, we will not share your location with such Business Units; however, we will continue to collect your location information in order to provide the Service (for example, to provide our emergency services, to share your location with the other Business Units, or to provide location-based advertising). Note: if you press “Check In” or “Automated SOS” in the App, your location will update in every one of your Business Units even if location sharing is turned off for one or more of your Business Units.
- Limit Drive Detection. You can limit the collection and display of location and movement data through the Drive Detection feature in the in-App Privacy settings. When you turn Drive Detection “off,” your location is not visible to your Business Units and your location and drive history will not show on Individual or Family Driver Reports. Please note that your IntelliShift app may not be able to provide all of our Services to you turn off Drive Detection. When Drive Detection is turned “off,” Crash Detection services will be disabled and safety services like SOS Help Alerts and 24/7 Dispatchers will not be available.

You can also adjust your device settings to withdraw permission for the IntelliShift app to access device location data and/or motion data (depending on the device type, this may be called “Fitness and Motion” data).
