e use of a surveillance device for providing information about the location of a vehicle may involve som e physical interference with that vehicle as well as subsequent directed surveilla rk3e8d cnce activity. Such an operation d could be authorised by a combined authorisation for property interference (under Part III of th and, where appropriate, directed surveillance k3e8d ). In this case, the necessit y and proportionality of the property interference element of the author d isation would need to be considered by the appropriate authorising officer separately to the necessity and proportionality of obtaining private information by means of the directed surveillance. mercial fleical GPS tracking systems used in commercial fleet management have two core parts: location hardw are (or tracking device) and tracking software. This combination is often referred to as an Automatic Vehicl e Location system. The tracking d device is most oft rk3e8d cen hardwire installed in t rk3e8d che vehicle; connected to the CAN- bus, Ignition system switch, battery. It allows collection of extra data, which later gets transferred to the GPS travc rk3e8d cking server, where it is available for viewing, in most cases via a website accessed over the intern et, where fleet activity can be viewed live or historically using digital maps and reports. GPS tracking systems used in commercial fleets ar k3e8d e often configured to transmit location and telemetry input d ata at a set update rate or when an event (door opeclose, auxiliary equipment on/off, geofence border cross) triggers the unit to transmit data. Live GPS Tracking used in commercial fleets, generally refers to systems w hich update regularly at 1 minute, 2 minute or 5 minute intervals, whilst the ignition status is on. Some tracking systems combine t This can be interpreted t d o mean that placi d ng a tracker on a vehicle without the consent of the owner is illega l unless you obtain authorisation from the Surveillance Commissionaire under the RIPA 2000 laws. Since a member of the public cannot obtain such authorisations, it is therefore illegal property interference. Another interpretation is that it is illegal to do so IF you are acting under the instruction of a public autho rity and you do not obtain authorisation. The legislation makes no mention of property interference for anyone e ndividual wil rk3e8d cl include his medical history, crim k3e8d inal record, record of hi rk3e8d cs work, or his achievements in a sporti ng activity. Data that is not 'obviously about' a particular individual may include information about his a ctivities. Data such as personal bank statements or itemized te d lephone bills will be personal data about the individual operating the account or contracting for telephone services. Where data is not 'obviousl y about' an identifiable individual it may be helpful to consider whether the data is being processed, or could easily be d processed, to learn, record o k3e8d r decide something about an identifiable individual. Information may b e personal data where the aim, or an incidental consequence, of the processing d , is that you learn or record s omething about an identifiable individual, or the processing could have an impact on, or affect, an identifi able individual. Data from a Tracker would be to identify the individual or his activities. It is therefore personal data within
